pages dont even load faster lol but I think working in tech contributes to my depression because almost everything in this thread is old news by at least 5 years for me https://twitter.com/erasmusNYT/status/1345439053076967433

still a good thread for all my non-technical friends

things I actually worry about currently: zucc's subsidiaries are not top 3 priority for breaking up. jbezo is #1 and very dangerous. alphabet is #2. we're just lucky googly's founders are modern tech hippies. apple is #3

almost all tech venture capitalists are conservatives, esp the big ones, and they control how money moves in the industry. techies know some of their names but not a whole lot. normies know even less. they all operate almost invisible to the public. zero accountability.

moving to purely the mobile space is not a bad thing tbh. it's a cheaper and faster way of increasing tech literacy and access, esp for non-western countries. it's just the way it's being done is shady as hell and laws around mobile usage rights are nonexistent.

RIGHT NOW nobody should hold an elected federal govt role if they dont know how to use the internet, a computer, AND a cell phone. if I could scam them with a clickbait link email, they gotta go. u cant have ppl who only know 1+2 try to regulate an ax² + bx + c = 0 monolith

I got more but lastly as much as I love the concept of crypto, it creates a shit ton of climate pollution. I'm still HODLing tho.
