the crazy thing, almost all of it is a private credit asset bubble. it will only take the right global supply train Janga piece to pop it all.

Funny, that’s about the amount of money we need to address the #ClimateCrisis globally.

Looks like the timing could not have been better for that metal Les Mis part of the #OpeningCeremony.

Good job #Paris2024 reminding them that there are worse fates than the big boogieman they see in the taxman. #TaxTheRich

#Microsoft in 2001: Linux is a cancer!

Microsoft in 2023: Here is how you choose and install a cool #Linux distro. It's similar to #Windows but #opensource and fully customizable.

@ilumium Microsoft's pivoted to the cloud. Its like proprietary software, but there we're not so much a threat to them!

@ilumium Please people, choose "Bare metal Linux", not WSL or a VM, if you can possibly do so. You eliminate a whole layer of bloat that you do not need.

Looks like we don't need laws after all for platforms to opportunistically suppress political user content: In 🇫🇷 #France, a #Snapchat #lobbyist admitted in a parliamentary hearing that the company was "proud" to have collaborated "hand in hand with the interior ministry" to make sure only user content critical of the mass protests was shown on #SnapMaps.

Of course, #Snap's behaviour here only emphasises the immense power centralised #platforms like #Snapchat, #Facebook, and #Instagram have over our public and political debates and how they can invisibly manipulate them (with our without cooperation of the government).

And why we need things like the #Fediverse to take back control of our digital public spaces. #DigitalPublicSpaces

@ilumium When I say Big Tech filters your reality, this is what I mean. (And some folks still think I’m exaggerating.)

You have nothing to hide until the government suddenly declares your behaviour illegal. #abortion #usa #meta #facebook #google #e2ee #encryption
