People aren't against the second thing. They just want to have a say in how it's used. I'm glad people started recording racist cops. I'm glad people started recording Karens harassing Black people.22 Aug 2026 23:21 +0000at://did:plc:vbntvdbjetcgp5i4i64euyvo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtpg3q7eac26https://bsky.app/profile/polotek.bsky.social/post/3mnl3mnwrt22pI'm still begging people to stop using Facebook.

I forgot that I shouldn't invite people to yell at me on the internet when I'm not in a good mood. People aren't ready for my clapback. I'm supposed to be reformed.

Not saying they're okay with this. But they think AI is worse and worth way more anger and backlash. I disagree. Mass surveillance in the hands of private companies who also cooperate with govt is catastrophic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl91myox0x422 Aug 2026 20:04 +0000at://did:plc:vbntvdbjetcgp5i4i64euyvo/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtp344wvcs26https://bsky.app/profile/polotek.bsky.social/post/3msyd4rzac222This is a really disheartening read. And it crystalizes something I've been chewing on. Unions and collective bargaining can't work the same way they have in the past. The companies we're up against have orders of magnitude more resources to weather through resistance. https://electrek.co/2026/08/13/tesla-defeats-sweden-if-metall-union-strike/13 Aug 2026 18:57 +0000at://did:plc:vbntvdbjetcgp5i4i64euyvo/app.bsky.feed.post/3msyd4rzac222https://bsky.app/profile/polotek.bsky.social/post/3msy6rg6ecs2kbsky now tells me if someone followed me through a starter pack.

I understand it's very easy to assume what this is referring to. But you don't actually have to do that.
