@tagomago Love it! Now should we rewatch "The Last Unicorn" too? 🦄 https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/10150-the-last-unicorn

Should have been a glove slap https://youtu.be/HmvSgvy7a34

@tagomago It is also a great movie!

Another one for your list @robin

@tagomago Not quite. I am still in transition. Hoping to move back to California, but may hang around here for a bit. Wait out the apocalypse ;)

@tagomago Yes, I think so, thanks! She lives near me now, so maybe I'll catch a show 🎵

Reading 'How to Be an Antiracist' by Ibram X. Kendi in #Books https://openlibrary.org/books/OL27266357M/How_to_Be_an_Antiracist

@tagomago @codewiz Me too!

I don't post about my research often (I have a professional account for that), but this shit...

I really like the idea of calling dark patterns -> deceptive design. Because that is what they really are. Most of these tricks are done out in the open to manipulate us into taking some action on an app or website. They are also not limited to a few shady companies. Everyone is doing it! (I'm looking at you TurboTax.)

And while we're at it, we should call those networks that promote disinformation (Facebook, etc.) as deception platforms. They willingly aid the spread of propaganda for profit.

@tagomago Hmm, Dylan LeBlanc?

@tagomago Oh yes, of course. It's like turning up the speed on the record once more. Same riff.

@tagomago You'll have to send me a sample :)

@tagomago You hear it too? https://youtu.be/syIUmrSJWAU

Father John Misty's new song "Goodbye Mr. Blue" sounds suspiciously similar to Van Morrison's "Into The Mystic."

@tagomago Yes, I had the same thought. But I think the issue here is that many creators had their videos removed before they could respond to the sudden and steep price hike. It's just another reminder that these sites control your content and viewership. Small federated instances could help with this problem.

Now is a good time to try @peertube
