       #CoryDoctorow @pluralistic on fire in this blog post: https://pluralistic.net/2025/08/26/sole-and-despotic-dominion/#then-they-came-for-meA concise definition of #conservatism: "There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."With lots of examples from (tech) corporate and MAGA conservatism. "The Flu Klux Klan wants to ban you from wearing a mask for health reasons, but they will defend to the death the right of ICE brownshirts to run around in gaiters and Oakleys as they kidnap our neighbors off the streets."Conservatism underpins #fascism. Therefore "we should treat every attempt to pull any of these scams as an inch (or a yard, or a mile) down the road to fascist collapse."#Antifascism #NieWiederIstJetzt #CDUCSU #SPD #AfD

       @dat @bjoernsta @ecosia Well, making fun of it hasn't really worked, has it? Maybe it's easier to make up a new category than criticizing a category propped up by capitalists.I think the Nobel Prize is not prestigious because some rich guy made up a bunch of categories to donate his ill-gotten gains to and everyone decided that he is eternally the arbitrator of what is worth for humanity. It's always been important because people, society, politicians, the media etc put value on it.About the 1 million, that's a lot for ecosia I guess, but from the wording I assume it's not for a foundation to invest and take from the profits, but instead just for the first award. That's in line with the other Nobel prizes.

       @anneroth Ich bin dagegen (Ü30).Ich glaube, es ist ein Trugschluss, dass Menschen über 16 automatisch besser mit Social Media klarkommen. Auf jeden Fall nicht magisch und ohne Unterricht oder Erfahrung auf den Plattformen, aber auch generell. Manche Dinge sind objektiv schlecht für alle und Erwachsene sollten auch davor geschützt werden. Auch Erwachsene haben keine Kontrolle darüber, was sie sehen, weil das die Algorithmen machen.Von daher bin ich dafür, Vorschlagsalgorithmen generell zu verbieten und/oder offene, transparente und vor allem optionale Algorithmen zu entwickeln.
