Würde mir jetzt auch nicht besonders viel Mühe geben, die Maschine die meinen Job ersetzen soll zu überwachen um ehrlich zu sein…

Dass es auf der Wiese günstiger ist, ist klar. Es klang hier nur so als wäre es so astronomisch teuer ein Parkplatz zu überdachen, dass sich dieses konzept nicht lohnen würde.

Man, I really love Signal. Not only is it open source and they actually give a shit about privacy, they also don’t shy away to give the finger to companies that don’t. It’s a shame they have to put their time into ways to stop Mocrosoft from spying, but I’m glad they’re doing it.

Aber wie teuer kann denn ein Dach über nem Parkplatz sein? Ich meine hier im Beispielbild sieht es recht fancy aus aber das muss es ja nicht unbedingt sein.

Capitalism didn’t used to be like this because it was still developing, but it was always going to become this. Enshitification is not a bug, it’s a feature. Capitalism is supposed to work like this. And when it wasn’t, it was just because it wasn’t there yet, mainly due to technical limitations.

Gibt doch schon Unterteilungen zwischen kleineren Tischfeuerwerk (worunter zb auch Knallerbsen fallen) und größeren Feuerwerk wie Raketen und Böller. Einfach genau da die Grenze ziehen.

Sligthly off topic but I think this actually may be some kind of Mandela effect, because I think a large number of people actually think the commercial said ‘You wouldn’t download a car’ because of all the memes but it actually said ‘You wouldn’t steal a car’

David Kriesel is amazing! Didn’t know about this. Very useful.

It’s important to note that this isn’t a hunch. This has been studied and proven. We know this is happening and nobody is doing anything on a political level to stop it.

I’ve been following the German election campaign very closely and the only time social media was even mentioned was when a young lady in one of the town hall formats asked if there were any plans to deal with the danger of social media in the context of impact on young people’s development. The question was put to Alice Weidel. Her answer was basically “No idea. I haven’t dealt with it yet”.

That was it. Otherwise, the topic wasn’t even mentioned in any discussion round.

But every single discussion round opened with “the topic that every German is talking about”: migration migration migration migration. Wonder why everybody is talking about that?

I would like to emphasize this sentence from the article because it is simply true:

What we do in these next few months will determine whether Europe’s liberal democracy survives or is lost for ever.

Something has to happen NOW, but nobody is talking about it. It’s really exasperating.

Find ich richtig stark. Mochte den Song schon immer und find den Gedanken traurig, dass der nirgends mehr gespielt werden kann, weil man Angst haben muss, dass irgendein rechter assi anfängt widerliche Parolen zu gröhlen.

In Europe we have public news broadcasters in every country, so relying on corporate news isn’t a huge problem.

Anyway, a news outlet pushing propaganda and misinformation is not nearly as dangerous as a social media platform doing it via algorithm. The fact that the algorithm can give you exactly the kind of propaganda that will resonate with you is extremely dangerous.

Not saying privately owned news outlets with a huge reach aren’t a problem, they definetely are, it’s just a whole other dimension.

Corellation is not causation but in this case it is very suspicious and studies like these show that there might be causation That’s why I said it’s not proof but needs to be studied further.

And yes, of course I mean centralized, profit driven social media. But that is the overwhelming majority of social media.

Well put, this is exactly the problem. I remember the early days of facebook, twitter and instagram when there were no algorithms and your feed was just posts by people you follow in chronological order. Discourse was much more tame back then. We urgently need stricter laws that regulate these algorithms.

I’m glad this is finally being looked at because I’ve been saying this for years and I feel like the vast majority doesn’t realize how bad this is.

If you look at social media use and the rise of the far right over the last 15 years, they pretty much go hand in hand. Sure, that isn’t proof for anything, but it’s alarming and needs to be studied further.

In Germany, we have safeguards that prevent a single media outlet to gain too much power over controlling the public opinion. We have this for TV stations, news papers etc. Just not social media. Because social media wasn’t even on the horizon when this law was put in place.

I think it’s insane that we just let foreign profit driven companies steer the public opinion and discourse in our society and we finally have to start to heavily regulate them.

My first thought that he put some really bad makeup on his hand…

Lieder können die behalten. Sind eh alle Kacke. Nazis können keine Musik machen.

True. We had a pretty big storm here a couple of years ago and the next day the supermarket shelves were almost empty. We really don’t usually think about how fragile the supply chain is when it comes to a crisis.
