the pros and cons of breathing
people always say they were "born in the wrong generation," and then say they wish they were alive in the 50's or 80's or 90's or whatever
well I was born in the wrong generation too, I wish I was born AFTER the downfall of capitalism, however many years in the future that may be

#Newpipe 0.14.2 can't play YouTube videos anymore. Downgrading to 0.14.1 seems to work for the moment. (Need to uninstall the latest version first.)
The problem is fixed upstream in version 0.15 which will be on fdroid in 1-2 days.

anyone ever told you "premature optimization is the root of all evil"?
let me tell you a story. about computers and javascript and hitler and the soviet union.
a friend of mine just dug up some numbers and did some math for my dyscalculic ass and came up with the conclusion that just by transmitting the minified version of jquery around (not even executing it!), Planet Earth is likely using up somewhere between 7-14 billion kWh of power every year.
let's put that into some perspective.
world war two was the single deadliest conflict in human history. it killed somewhere around 80 million people, which at the time was three percent of *all humans, everywhere.* it left europe in ruins, and nowhere was the damage so intense and horrific as the Soviet Union.
the Battle of Stalingrad is one of the most famous battles of the war. two million people died there alone. in the opening salvos the entire city was flattened by nazi and soviet bombs alike. eventually the Union prevailed, at a tremendous cost.
but Stalingrad was only one of the cities flattened, only one of the battles fought as Europe burned. the devastation was so comprehensive that nearly every western nation had to rely on aid from the US, one of the only powers on either side whose economy was intact, to rebuild. (it didn't help that American wartime policy was designed more to inflict as much Nazi death and destruction as possible on the Soviets, of course).
if we add up the energy of every single explosive device detonated over the course of that terrible war, from hand grenades all the way up to the two atom bombs the US detonated over japan, slaughtering civilians en masse and turning two cities to rubble in the space of a moment, we get the figure of about 3 megatons. or in kilowatt hours, 3.4 billion, spread out across all those years of war.
compared to 7-14 billion kWh just to transmitting the same tangle of bytes around again and again. every single year.
and that's just jquery. not the cost of executing it. not the mass of other garbage javascript and analytics and social media spyware, which now often adds up to megabytes per page. not the cost of rendering or running any of that.
just to zap jquery back and forth across the internet to every computer accessing a website that uses it.
a final point of comparison, now that i have your attention: bitcoin uses up 46,000 billion kilowatt hours per year. a number which is likely to keep on growing.
draw your own conclusions about web design & software optimization. -

"El Cyborgrrrls es una fiesta crítica, #hackfeminista, #tecnoanarquista y #ciberlibertaria para recrear la #tecnología y los prototipos estéticos y de género. Un espacio para compartir ideas y afectos, para reprogramar tecnologías, hackear el cuerpo y confabular estrategias de desobediencia técnica.
En marzo de este año realizaremos la tercera edición de este encuentro y abrimos esta convocatoria para que nos envíes tus propuestas de #taller, #charla, conversatorio, performance, video, concierto y sesión de Vj relacionadas a temas de tecnología, #género y #feminismos.
Buscamos propuestas creativas, críticas y subversivas, que cuestionen qué entendemos por tecnología y su inserción en nuestra realidad corporal, política y social. Invitamos a reivindicar nuestros quehaceres, cuestionando los binarísmos existentes en prácticas y oficios (trabajo femenino – trabajo masculino), las nociones de género “implícitas” en los objetos técnicos (tecnologías para el hombre y para la mujer) y a cuestionar la idea de alta y bajatecnología.
[...]
Esta convocatoria es para mujeres, lesbianas, trans y no binarias."

Like one time I came across a thread of leftists just trashing on Chelsea Manning, an anarchist who spent years in prison and solitary confinement because she was brave enough to expose US war crimes, all because she made a very silly mistake of palling around with some right-wing assholes, mere months after being released from prison. She immediately apologized and said that she would do better. Didnt matter to these people. She was "cancelled."
That is fucking obscene

Many leftists (anarchists, socialists, communists) place a lot of value on direct, personal participation in the political process.
I think that is wrong. Not everybody can handle real-time interactions the same (think ableism) and I have no reason to believe that a sharp and quick wit is the best way to conduct emancipatory politics.
The "direct" in "direct democracy" does not have to mean "immediate and personal".
