If you want to push back against tech’s encroachment into every corner of our lives, you need to be reading books. They’re keen to create a world in which most people are illiterate & addicted to slop, a world without poetry, imagination or knowledge. Reading is resistance.

Americans hate being reminded that their country fucking sucks

People online read to respond, not to comprehend.

I'm finally reading Dune. This quote, which is in the first few pages, hits hard:

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them."

When filming in Cuba Irish actor Maureen O Hara often met with Fidel Castro (pictured) and Che Guevara, and was particularly struck by Che's knowledge of Ireland.

"When we arrived in Havana on April 15, 1959 (filming 'Our Man in Havana'), Cuba was a country experiencing revolutionary change. How could I not meet Che?

Che Guevara was often at the Capri Hotel. I would see him at the restaurant and he'd come to my table to say hello.

Che would talk about Ireland and all the guerilla warfare that had taken place there.

He knew every battle in Ireland and all of its history. Che knew more about Ireland than John Ford did.

I couldn't believe it and finally asked, 'Che, you know so much about Ireland and talk constantly about it. How do you know so much?'

He said, 'Well, my grandmother's name was Lynch and I learned everything I know about Ireland at her knee.'

He was Che Guevara Lynch! That famous cap he wore was an Irish rebel's cap (black beret).

I spent a great deal of time with Che Guevara while I was in Havana.

I believe he was far less a mercenary than he was a freedom fighter.

Today he is a symbol for freedom fighters wherever they are in the world and I think he is a good one."

As someone who has personally never wanted to leave Jamaica, I find you people who try to make fun of people who want to leave annoying. This country is in shambles, our infrastructure is poor, government services are terrible for the most part and socially we are declining.

Cuba is attacked not because it’s a failed state or lacks democracy — both lies — but precisely because it’s a state that has been successful at prioritizing its people instead of foreign profit, even under the worst imposed conditions.

White people are always confused when they see something capable of violence not using violence at every opportunity.

We have officially reached the point where I check the World Cup calendar before committing to anything. Wife wants to do something that day, let me check. Friends want to make plans, sorry, two games going at the same time. The World Cup owns my life now.

Since leaving Jamaica I realised just how vulnerable the Electricity system is in Jamaica. The same rain can fall there as any other island and Jamaica will be the only one that you experience a power outage.
JPS needs to lose its monopoly.

[GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS]

> Why? GrapheneOS restricts camera and biometric APIs. A scan that works on stock Android can fail in a loop on GrapheneOS. The repeated failure isn't fraud. It's a technical incompatibility.

GrapheneOS is fully compatible with Android apps using the standard APIs. Apps with memory corruption bugs happening in regular use are usually incompatible with it when the full exploit protections are enabled for user installed apps. However, it can be worked around with the per-app compatibility toggles.

The reason apps like this are sometimes incompatible is because they use the Play Integrity API to ban using an OS / device not certified by Google. Some use similar mechanisms to detect users not using a Google Mobile Services OS. Other than that, all apps are compatible with GrapheneOS in practice.

When apps aren't compatible even with the per-app compatibility mode toggle, it's usually deliberate. We're gradually working around these deliberate incompatibilities from apps trying to detect a non-stock OS. It's getting better but it takes time. We don't have a non-regulatory solution to long term compatibility with services enforcing the Play Integrity API but we can work around what apps do themselves to ban alternatives and are making quick progress.

If you are not cynical about everything the USA does you are in too deep.

[𝘊𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘦 @OopsGuess]

Chinese people are not terrified of AI because China mostly presents automation as a way to remove humans from dangerous, exhausting, hostile work:
Coal mines, power grids, extreme weather, heavy industry, and disaster response.

In America, AI arrives with layoffs, “efficiency,” restructuring, shareholder value, and workers being told their lives are obsolete.

Same technology, different civilization logic.

One asks: How can machines reduce human suffering?
The other asks: How many humans can we remove from payroll?

AI does not automatically become dystopia.
It becomes dystopia when capitalism owns the switch.
