@anon_opin Musk turning up the dial marked “electrocute elephant” while looking back to the audience for approval

It's a travesty that Elon Musk's car company is named after the great Nikola Tesla, when he has much more in common with that prick Thomas Edison.

I HOPE THE BELLY-CRAWLING FASCISTIC TROGLODYTES WHO NOW FEEL FREE TO SPEW VACUOUS EDGELORDISM IN MEATSPACE WILL DISCOVER HOW CHEAP AND FLEETING THEIR HACKY LITTLE THRILLS ARE. I WANT THEM TO SUFFER THE PAIN OF KNOWING THAT THEIR DREAMS AREN'T SATISFYING.

Nextdoor neighbour was babysitting me when I was 6 but had to pop back home for a few minutes. I welcomed what I thought was a red setter dog into our home and fed it from the babysitter's snacks. Babysitter returned and was horrified to see a fox eating her cheese.

Grill with the Pearl Earring

the idea of buying a “Rock Band 3 Fender Mustang Pro-Guitar Controller”, keeps spinning in my head

a plastic guitar controller with 102 fret buttons (6 strings × 17 frets), 6 short strummable metal strings, and a MIDI out port

it's not a guitar, but it's supposed to teach it

To these excellent thoughts, I’d add: “What if ‘scaling’ doesn’t mean growth, but sustainability? Scaling up in time instead of space?”

What would happen if we stopped asking, “How can this grow?” and started asking, “What is this thing’s natural size?” What if we evaluated projects not by their potential for expansion but their depth of impact within their chosen bounds?

Choosing to stay small, focused, and finite can be a radical act. It’s a declaration that some things are valuable precisely because they resist the illogic of endless growth.

Encryption shifts the economics of attack.

Plaintext can be slurped up by dragnet surveillance and analyzed at the attacker's convenience.

Transport-layer encryption makes passive attacks ineffective, forcing governments to attack the servers to spy on everyone.

End-to-end encryption like Signal forces governments to choose their targets and expend resources on attacking each one, proactively.

The more people that use E2EE for traffic the governments aren't interested in, the more goddamn haystack there is to sift through in search of needles.

The economies of scale go away if the E2EE makes popping servers useless to the governments. This is why I insist the centralization of Signal is a red herring.

What ABBA never mentioned is that Dancing Queen is really a figurehead position. All the real power is in the hands of Dancing Parliament.
