Capitalism is *all about*, at its core, building decentralized systems which on inspection turn out to be centrally controlled, or controlled via a "one dollar one vote" democracy of the five or six richest people in the system (in other words informal centralization, without the committee that makes the decisions having a name). The decentralized internet systems that capitalism builds reflect this. There's lots of examples of it. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bluesky.

Something I considered for my "listening to" thread but rejected… Ceci intéressera particulièrement les francophones. Here is a short video where a musician who built a table into a composite noise instrument made of contact mics, solenoids, crackleboxes, and guitar pedals does a series of short performances and explains his system in French. I'm skipping it for the thread because it's many sketches rather than one "song". But if you speak French I bet this is great:

A thing that super frustrates me is on Mastodon if you run your own server you can excuse yourself from the character limit, but I don't run my own Mastodon server, but I *do* run my own Bluesky server, but Bluesky is designed so even if you run your own server you're locked into Bluesky's character limit. Anyway

Watching "once upon a witch's death" on Crunchyroll Main character: "Genki da [followed by what sounds like] ko res ne". Even I know enough Japanese to know "Genki da, ne?" Means "she's so lively, right?" Subtitles: "She's so full of beans!" …What?

Questionable Content that just went up is raising *really* interesting typography questions. The robots talk in a different font than the humans. But in this strip we see people *texting*, the texting font is different from either the humans-talk or robots-talk font, *but Bubbles is texting in a different font from anyone else, even the other robots*. Was Jeph trying to do something specific and messed it up, or has Bubbles always talked in a different font than anyone else and I didn't notice?

A novel and powerful twist on an old classic.

So here's what stops me from using Passkeys. - I want Passkeys. - I want to use "BitWarden". - BitWarden can use passkeys on all my platforms incl Android. - However, I do not install BitWarden on all my computers, because I don't trust some of them to hold my BitWarden vault. - This means I have to have a way of "airgapping" the passkey— some way of using a passkey on a phone, is a computer. - The ONLY way to do this the FIDO Alliance allows requires Bluetooth. - My computer doesn't have that.

One thing about "AI" is with the technology OpenAI has (large neural network plus manual tagging) you could've made the best search engine ever. There could be a Copilot where you describe what you wanted and it finds an example of it in the corpus of open source software. You could go from a fuzzy image description to a stock image. These would be better than buggy code and fucked up images. But they wouldn't do that because the *service* OpenAI provides is obscuring that the content is stolen.
