Holy shit. Cursed digicam is so scary. Havent played a decent horror game in awhile since I was in hs. But this is the first time I got that same old fear.
None of the work I am doing or affiliation I am part of feels transformative anymore. When I was in my early twenties, almost every thing I did feel like I am doing something worthwhile.
Now, I am in a constant feeling of being trapped in this shithole of a world. Like what even is the point of everything. Everyone I speak to now sounds like a broken record repeating shit that don't make sense just to make their feelings validated
Signal is bad cause its in the US is probably the weakest argument you can use against it.
Its insane how people in privacy forums would always venture into this kind of purity test, giving you app suggestions that will never be adopted by people like my mother. Not to mention calling people 'normies' as if it raises themselves into some shit pedestal they self manifested.
You don't win through insults and exclusion. One person shifting from Facebook Messenger to Signal is a WIN, however you want to frame it or not
Truly humbled that the idea I’ve been reflecting on over the past few months was recognised as the *WINNER* of the Global Leadership Challenge!!!
This girl is going to Switzerland to defend my idea.
An average Filipino spend an at least 4 hours a day on social media. For many of us social media are our the lifelines. But what happens when these lifelines are poisoned? And our answer to the challenges of dis and misinformation is DisinfoSim, short for Disinformation Simulation. It will show how disinformation travels across regions, provinces, and demographics. Players will track their campaign’s reach, overcome resistance in skeptical areas, and maximise their impact in regions where fake news thrives. It takes insipiration from Plague Inc, but for disinformation
My interview with the 🇦🇹 Vienna-based Varna Peace Institute is now available. I discussed human rights concerns in the 🇵🇭 Philippines, the feminisation of labour export, the Kafala system in the Middle East, cybersecurity in the South China Sea, and the growth of digital propaganda.
EDIT: Okay, Im wrong. Its not being converted per se. It just making the pdf editable (in a way?) that when you try to open with WRITER, it directs you to DRAW.
Meta is in bed with the military-industrial complext as it partners with Lockheed Martin and Palantir (amongst many more problematic companies). We are in stage of the corporatisation of war, binding tech giants with the blood-stained machinery of imperialist control. And with Facebook's contentious history in the Rohingya crisis in Myanmar and civil unrest in Ethiopia, where its platforms have been implicated in exacerbating conflict and misinformation, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Meta has crossed the line so many times. QUIT FACEBOOK/INSTAGRAM/WHATSAPP NOW. Whatever “connection” it promises to you is nothing more than a leash, that binds humanity ever tighter to the dictates of state violence and corporate power. No reform either through board meetings or through their so-called human rights report will wash away the blood on Meta's hands.
If you're liberal, gtfo of my timeline. If you're right wing nazi shithole, gtfo and eat shit. I no longer accept follows from anon accounts. I am in the process of removing anon accounts (except those I have engaged in some sort of discussions in the past) from my followers list. PhD in InfoSec, but quit academia right away. I just can't. I am into FOSS, privacy and yadda, yadda. I enjoy walking my dog, Heidi, vegan food, gaming, programming and makeup. Hope to connect to like-minded people (or not, challenge me)
