It allows me for example to avoid Instagram's crack app while still DMing with friends only available on there.
Except "Long term availability" ... I'd love to have my full chat archive under my own control but doesn't seem on the roadmap.
Everything we have seen over the last few years (eg what microsoft is doing to Windows) points to a push to make the platforms we used to control, more like the 'consumption' platforms. Profit demands it.
"Does this serve my goals, or someone else's metrics?" indeed.
How come this culture war mindset infuses everything we do online now?
Nowhere does this map or its description even imply you are a bad person.
It's pure ... projection

At Shift, we want to make it easy for anyone to combat climate change. We are a non-profit startup.

It gives you a weekly score based on the most amount of pictures taken. Military units that captured the most faces of Palestinians on a weekly basis would be provided rewards such as paid time away.
I do feel there needs to be space to discuss what kinds of reductions of consumption make sense, esp for rich countries.
Instead of animation, it felt to me like just a live action film with a fiter. Sure, the filter in this case took many man-hours to produce, and as stills felt pretty, but there was something vital missing.
I found this hard to put into words, but here goes:
Actual animation thinks about how to present perspective, movement, character, etc. This film chose to paint over moving pictures, and in that way literally took over all the 'real' visual elements without making any choices in them. Compared to almost any anime, it feels lifeless and an under-use of the medium, IMO.

Big social media companies are not incentivized to care about psychological and social side effects of their product.
A bit like cigarette companies offloading externalities onto society, but much harder to specifically identify and address.

their website:
It’s a proven concept. It leads to many people sharing their thoughts in a more readable way than a thread of tweets, and has a lower barrier than having a blog.
What I see here feels overspec’d and convoluted, as if hundreds of people had to have a say on what could be a very simple and singular product.
