Sociala mediers ineffektivitet. Sett ur den här bloggens perspektiv och antalet besökare och visningar är sociala medier väldigt ineffektiva vad det gäller spridning av inläggen och för att locka läsare. Sämst är Bluesky. Facebook, Threads och X är bäst med Mastodon därefter. Jämfört med mejl är de alla urusla.

In the last year, I’ve spent about 200,000 words on a kind of personal journey where I’ve tried again and again to work out why everything digital feels so broken, and why it seems to keep getting worse, despite what tech’s “brightest” minds might pr…Edward Zitron (Ed Zitron's Where's Your Ed At)
The Plot Thickens

Having already finished one Christmas project, it’s time to tick off another one.
This time to build a Brachiograph. This is a simple pen plotter that is based around an arm with a “shoulder” and “elbow” joints that are hobby servos (there is a 3rd servo to lift the pen/pencil off the paper).
I first saw one of these when @andypiper posted about some of the plots he’s done.

Rånet mot NK i Malmö 1986. Väktaren Kjell-Arne Håkansson och hans kollega hade onsdagen den 6 mars 1986 hämtat en väska med 490 000 kronor i checkar och kontanter från varuhuset NK.
Tjugo i elva på nyårsnatten påträffades två tonåringar skjutna i Rosengård, Malmö. Närmare betsämt på von Rosens väg. Pojkarna i 15-årsåldern sköts i en trappuppgång. Båda ska vara allvarligt skadade och har förts till sjukhus.
Yeah, I don't see much that couldn't be added to Loops and the "ghost metrics" idea would be easy enough to add to most Fediverse platforms if it proved popular.
However, most of those features look like stuff they came up with in an afternoon to try and set it apart from TikTok while the main thrust is just to scoop up users as TikTok struggles with it's current issues.

I read about 1/3rd of the piece until I was sure that not a single one of the problems described concerns me. Because I don't use Sonos, I don't use Spotify and every other shitty service described as enshittified in this text.
I feel sorry for the technologically poor, every single sod who totally relinquishes control of most of their digital life, in a time when more and more of our daily live becomes digital, to people they know are out to get them. I will never understand it.

in reply to Smee • • •One may not be able to get a car which is self-repair friendly, independent on internet connectivity. So what does one do if one needs a car? Build one?
Smee
in reply to The Hobbyist • • •There's always going to be cars that are repairable, they're just never going to be the flashiest, newest, cheapest or most media and socially hyped up vehicles. And that's what people want.
Folk complain about a simple thing like non-replaceable batteries in phones. But there's always been phones with replaceable batteries. They're just not Samsung phones or packed with the latest AI.
And honestly, if people cannot understand what they're signing up for... Perhaps they shouldn't sign away their first born child to begin with?

Maybe a small example, but simply avoiding this stuff is becoming difficult.
Smee
in reply to ch00f • • •I am 100% sure it's possible to attend baseball games without the Ticketmaster app, just not the ones you want to see.
It may not be the flashiest, biggest games with the baseball superstars or the matches hyped up by the media or your peers. And that's what people want. 🤷

I've stopped going to concerts at the big avenues because I have to use an app or buy tickets online. I can't see the biggest artists with the most flashy albums that's been hyped up by all the advertisements. Actually bums me out. But I can still attend other concerts at less predatory avenues.
Such is my way of navigating clown world.

in reply to Smee • • •I understand the attitude of “if you want a curated stream of music or a free app, you need to accept that you are giving up your privacy to get that.” Like, pay for the app or buy the music and curate it yourself as an alternative. Just like people have done for generations.
But we’re talking about a thing that just four years ago required only a paper ticket that could be purchased with cash suddenly requiring an app. The product didn’t change in any way, it just requires an app now. I think everyone should be angry about that.

in reply to ch00f • • •There is still radio, and that involves no sacrifice of privacy. Big name bands cost money. I've never been to a sports match in my life & I sincerely hope I never will, but I suppose big name sportsball teams cost lots too.
Brands are bad. Big brands are worse. If you've heard of the name, that's a bad sign. This is the simple basic situation and the sooner people realise that the better. If they are not able to realise that big names are bad names, then it will cost them.
Smee
in reply to ch00f • • •Sure and I agree. That's why I mention that I'm bummed out about not being able to attend big venue concerts any more. But I know why they're doing it and I understand the cost.
As far as I can se, every person who understand what this means is angry about it. But once one accepts that the vast majority of people are NPC's, not willing to sacrificy even such a meaningless thing as entertainment... This is what we get.
In fairness with the warped society we have, entertainment has become a value in it self, way more valuable than building a better world for ourselves and those who comes after. A consumer society to the max.
I've tried warning, I've offered alternatives, I've talked about the cost - But instead of people attending no-app-required baseball matches and build a new industry they begrudginly use the app, complain about signing away their privacy and just keep on eroding the world.
What are we to do but try to save ourselves?
