augustus 30, 2018 The world is a terrible place right now, and that’s largely because it is what we make it.
Wil Wheaton (ja, die van TV):
I see this in the online space all the time now: mobs of people, acting in bad faith, can make people they don’t know and will likely never meet miserable, or even try to ruin their lives and careers (look at what they did to James Gunn). And those mobs’ bad behaviors are continually rewarded, because it’s honestly easier to just give them what they want. We are ceding the social space to bad people, because they have the most time, the least morals and ethics, and are skilled at relentlessly attacking and harassing their targets. It only takes few seconds for one person to type “fuck off” and hit send. That person probably doesn’t care and doesn’t think about how their one grain of sand quickly becomes a dune, with another person buried beneath it. That’s a huge problem that seems to be baked into social media.

augustus 30, 2018 Solving All the Wrong Problems
Allison Arieff in The New York Times:
We are overloaded daily with new discoveries, patents and inventions all promising a better life, but that better life has not been forthcoming for most. In fact, the bulk of the above list targets a very specific (and tiny!) slice of the population. As one colleague in tech explained it to me recently, for most people working on such projects, the goal is basically to provide for themselves everything that their mothers no longer do.
augustus 30, 2018 Good riddance, Twitter
Fuck you Jack Dorsey. Fuck you, all you douchebros and douchesisters running Twitter.
You’re abusers. You ceaselessly optimize Twitter for the most possible abuse of its users to drive “engagement” and keep those eyes on the timelines with a never ending barrage of abusive crap.
I feel this more and more every day. It’s hard to leave behind a place where you’ve been for the past decade, but that moment is looming.

augustus 28, 2018 Scientists Warn the UN of Capitalism’s Imminent Demise
Rather, these crises are part of the same fundamental transition to a new era characterized by inefficient fossil fuel production and the escalating costs of climate change. Conventional capitalist economic thinking can no longer explain, predict, or solve the workings of the global economy in this new age, the paper says.
augustus 28, 2018 Plastic straw ban? Cigarette butts are the single greatest source of ocean trash
The vast majority of the 5.6 trillion cigarettes manufactured worldwide each year come with filters made of cellulose acetate, a form of plastic that can take a decade or more to decompose. As many as two-thirds of those filters are dumped irresponsibly each year, according to Novotny, who founded the Cigarette Butt Pollution Project.
Zo’n vieze vuiligheid. En vooral die argeloosheid waarmee rokers dat op de grond gooien, soms vanuit de auto uit het raam. Bah.
