Credo che il concetto principale sia proprio questo:
> il boicottaggio digitale è sintomo di qualcosa di più grave: la totale incomprensione di cosa siano gli algoritmi, di come funzioni il tempo su un pianeta diviso in fusi orari e di quanto complessa sia la realtà storica invocata come bandiera.

Informa Pirata reshared this.

L'immagine è divisa in due sezioni. A sinistra, c'è una fotografia in bianco e nero di un grande vascello da guerra, presumibilmente l'USS Indianapolis, che naviga in mare con un cielo nuvoloso sullo sfondo. A destra, c'è un poster del film "USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage" con Nicolas Cage in primo piano, indossando un'uniforme da marinaio. Il poster mostra anche altri personaggi in uniforme e un'immagine di un'esplosione sul mare, con sommergibili visibili. Il titolo del film è in grande evidenza, con il nome di Nicolas Cage in alto.
