Recently I've read an essay on #systemdesign which argued that decentralized social networks are unable to become a success because they are hostages of the chicken-egg problem and simply there is not enough userbase for them to thrive. On the one hand, he's right. Not many social network users question such things as privacy, big tech monopoly, etc. On the other hand personally for me #fediverse is not a chance to meet many people but a chance to meet right people. So I guess there's definitely a point in fediverse being around.
I think one of the reasons people don't appreciate #contemporaryart (apart from fear of being confronted by something different) is the fact that in contemporary art there is no common wisdom of what is good art and what's not and people feel uncomfortable making decisions themselves.
Коли слухав концерт Жадана, упійвав себе на думці, що останнім часом він просто комбінує потужні символи (риби, птахи, Ісус, Марія тощо) і таким чином генерує вірші. Коли читаєш їх, то здається, що відбувається щось важливе, але не зовсім ясно що. Ну і звісно його значимість для #сучукрліт яку гріх заперечувати, додає впливу на читача. І от нещодавно читав матеріал від видавництва "Пломінь", який порадував мене тим, що, здається, я не самотній у цьому відчутті. https://plomin.club/ukranian-book-2020/ "Жадан-поет вже далеко не перший рік експлуатує той самий авторський набір художніх прийомів, стабільно радуючи, але давно нікого не дивуючи". - Пишуть там. #думки #література #uanet #ua
I've got a lot of career-programming activities to do but instead I've spent my whole weekend playing with #supercollider. While I'm feeling skeptical towards #timemanagement I definitely need to work out some routine for winter break to get stuff done.
Dear web developers and admins,
please stop embedding Google's hideous #ReCaptcha into your websites. Its algorithm is faulty, forcing regular users to click dozens or even hundreds of fire hydrants, bicycles, or traffic lights each day. It puts a 'suspicious activity' flag on users who won't obey to Google's business model - such as people who don't sign into Chrome, use anonymity VPNs, or use browser extensions to suppress common tracking mechanisms. Enough is enough. Stop it.
The thing with conventional #socialmedia is not just heavy censorship but also how people welcome it in order to not be confronted by different opinion. For a long time I was in doubt whether I don’t need social media or I’m just afraid to express my thoughts freely. But since I’ve released my album I’ve decided to give it a try again in (I hope) a more welcoming community #fediverse #thoughts #society
An artistic facet of my personality
