  • Essa cidade é muito Bunda.

  • From your own source.

    China's cumulative per capita emissions of 227 tons of CO₂ are significantly lower than those of the EU (682 tons) and the USA (1,570 tons)

  • Exactly. Trump wants do buy Venezuelan oil, and Venezuela wants to sell it, but US sanctions don't allow it. What Trump needed was a way to lift the sanctions that didn't look too much as a defeat, so they kidnap Maduro to pretend bolivarianism is over and lift the sanctions.

  • This. And also for Israel. And France.

  • This is a very complex discussion that I like a lot. And a very philosophical one.

    For starters, we cannot separate the process of making groups (cinephile, gamer, etc.) from the concrete conditions where these groups are made. I would say that categorization is not a liberal agenda per se, but inside social media dynamics it's a compliance dispositive.

    I like this article a lot and will put some quotes,

    The categorization today, under social media is mostly a performative act, where you declare your conformity to the group, not some sort of self discovery process.

    Subjectivation is not a flowering of autonomy and freedom; it's the end product of procedures that train an individual in compliance and docility. One accepts structuring codes in exchange for an internal psychic coherence. Becoming yourself is not a growth process but a surrender of possibilities that we learn to regard as egregious, unbecoming. "Being yourself" is inherently limiting. It is liberatory only in the sense of freeing one temporarily from existential doubts. (Not a small thing!) So the social order is protected not by preventing "self-expression" and identity formation but encouraging it as a way of forcing people to limit and discipline themselves — to take responsibility for building and cleaning their own cage. Thus, the dissemination of social-media platforms becomes a flexible tool for social control.

    This is a product of how these platforms works, as they are neoliberal tools to promote neoliberal subjectivation.

    Social media's quantifying metrics aggravate the problem, making expression into a series of discrete items to be counted, ranked. It serves as the infrastructure for a feedback loop that orients expression toward the anxiety of what the numbers will be and accelerates it, as we try to better those numbers, and thereby demonstrate that the self-monitoring is teaching us something about how to become more "relevant."

    What is odd is that the connectivity of the internet exacerbates that sort of neoliberal ideology rather than mitigating it. Connectivity atomizes rather than collectivizes. But that is because most people's experience of the internet is mediated by capitalist entities, or rather, for the sake of simplicity, by capitalism itself.

    They do this by transforming ourselves in commodities. The categorization in neoliberal material conditions is the process to adapt the multiplicity of the human being to a market niche in a optimization process that take away all pieces that don't fit that market niche, don't generate value,

    Social media offer a single profile for our singular identity, but our consciousness comprises multiple forms of identity simultaneously: We are at once a unique bundle of sense impressions and memories, and a social individual imbued with a collectively constructed sense of value and possibility. Things like Facebook give the impression that these different, contestable and often contradictory identities (and their different contexts) can be conveniently flattened out, with users suddenly having more control and autonomy in their piloting through everyday life. That is not only what for-profit companies like Facebook want, but it is also what will feel natural to subjects already accustomed to capitalist values of convenience, capitalist imperatives for efficiency, and so on.

  • Mídia em português é mais polissêmica, mas ainda dá para chamar de falso cognato se em português ela (tambem) tem o mesmo significado que em inglês?

  • Plataformas como wordpress.com sim. sites isolados sem ferramentas de interação e identidade unificada não.

  • Esse alargamento é anterior, da época em que deixaram de falar em rede social e passaram a falar em mídia social. Desde essa época que youtube e whatsapp entram na categoria.

    Acontce que no Brasil mídia social nunca pegou.

  • If they continue this this analisys, they will discover leninism.

  • Sei lá, nem a primeira eu posso dizer que adoro. É boazinha, mas nada demais. Tenho a impressão que os estadunidenses ficaram empolgados por conta da nostalgia, mas eu não tenho nenhuma ligação afetiva com essa época, então...

  • I would never drink a milk that lasts two weeks. Real food spoils. This must be some liquid plastic.

  • One liter (0.26 gl) bottles or boxes.

  • No.

    To have a decentralised network, you need a lot of servers storing some data and a access algorithm thar searches for the pieces. There are a lot of hard problems:

    • you need various copies because each node can go offline any moment. This works for pirated DVDs, but not for social media posts.
    • you need to store a lot of the network in each node. The user needs to contribute to the network. Few people will donate GBs of storage and bandwidth to use a social network. You will get only a few enthusiasts.
    • search is a nightmare nobody have really solved.

    The architecture is good for storing and distributing many copies of a few very popular contents (and shines in torrent) but is bad for storing, searching for, and accessing many unpopular and mildly popular contents.

  • This is actually a great achievement. It's super hard to overcome steam.

  • And to hide the collapsing demand that fuelled their bad quarter numbers (higher stockpile and time to get paid for sales).
