We have mate *everywhere*. With guaraná. With mango. With milk.

Hot take: when people complain about AI they actually mean to complain about oligarch class.
But they lack class struggle narrative and explain their fears in STEM terms.
It’s a phantasm, a substitute fear.
Because oligarchs didn’t create AI. They don’t create *anything*. They’re parasitical in nature.
They *weaponize* AI. Like they weaponize, well, *everything*.

The idea that using the perfect word will somehow free us from said oppression, and that we should therefore police people’s use of words towards this (miscalculated) goal, is part of the liberal claptrap we should free ourselves from.
It’s Harry Potter levels of discourse. It derails us from much needed conversations.
It’s tone policing and it’s there to silence the oppressed.

Each task has 4 phases:
1. Deciding if, when, how to do it
2. Assessing, checking tools, space
3. Doing it
4. Cleaning it up
If you don't do some of it, rest assured someone else had to do it.
Got it? Labor is not invisible once you see it. And recognize the help you received.

An Android device running Chrome and sitting inert, with no user interaction, transmits location data to Google every five minutes. This is the "resting heartbeat" of surveillance for an Android device. Ask that device to do any work for you and its pulse quickens, until it is emitting a nearly continuous stream of information about your activities to Google.

Design is not a seasoning, but they're well paid and the client wants to believe just seasoning on top can save a shit dish. So it's "done". And we end up with apologetic, baby-voice kafka mazes. "have a good day"

And if you read what you wrote, you kinda did it too.

Mobile data should be treated like hotel booking...
You buy a ticket for a place, it knows *exactly* when you land and when you leave, and it offers a plan for you for the time. Seamless.
If you think about travel ancillary purchases, mobile data is *more* important than hotel or car.
If you need a passport to get there, chances are your mobile plan won't cover you.
Hotels mastered seamlessness in travel. International digital access is bureaucratic, broken, confusing.
