Somebody I know is in the top 10% of Spotify.
Guess how much the artist makes by being in the top 10% of Spotify.
Around $50 a month.

Streaming music sucks

Slightly adjusted. I've added this to my website now, using it with the `image-rendering: pixelated;` CSS.

Fucking silly but I love it.

Rishi Sunak Found the Magic Money Tree https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqM5MSfFCYw

"After 2010 British politics was shaped by one idea above all others: austerity. We were told that there wasn't enough money to pay for EMA, university fees, council housing or even the existing range of benefits. And yet the government's response to Covid-19 demonstrates the extent to which that was a political choice rather than an economic inevitability. Most striking of all? Even the BBC is saying it."

Hoping to add more soon and expand on some things, but I'm really happy with the fact that I've gotten *something* out there

"Most broadly, the work acts in opposition to the capitalist ideologies embedded in NFTs and the ways in which cryptoart markets have already thrust an often anti-capitalist and anti-corporate art medium into a 21st century gold rush get-rich-quick kind of frenzy. "

“Linux” by itself doesn’t solve anything. Surveillance capitalism runs on Linux. Linux is big business. Most Linux distributions don’t give a shit about privacy/go out of their way to promote the easy use of Google, etc., on their platforms. FOSS is just one piece of the puzzle.

54 years ago, ST:TOS episode A Taste of Armageddon aired. In it, a culture has computer simulated war for 500 years and "casualties” tailed by the machine must report to euthanasia chambers. At the end, Kirk gives a speech.

Death, destruction, disease, horror... that's what war is all about, that's what makes it a thing to be avoided. You've made it so neat and painless you've had no reason to stop it.
