"The pest campaigns weren't about pests, but about empowering people," Fan explains. "Controlling nature also means that we control our destiny. The [Chinese Communist Party] wanted to give a feeling of power to the people and it did that, in part, by giving them campaigns to control their environments."

How Fascism Works by Jason Stanley

A quick look at the political tools of fascism, this book is a great starting point if you've never really bothered to take a look at what fascism is and how it works. Much of the extreme rhetoric you're hearing today will make a whole lot more sense in the context of this book.

#BookReview #Fascism #Politics #Extremism #Nonfiction #Hierarchy #Racism #Myth #Lies #Power #Control

A political cartoon with Donald Trump depicted as a strongman leader. The letter T is shown in black inside a white circle on a red background, on a flag, intended to remind you of Nazi flags. A Mexican is being hauled away by Nazi style police, Muslims are looking worried, and some white people are yelling at them.

Did you know, that you can think about some "concerning" or "frightening" future event, without worrying about it? 🤔

By understanding that worrying won't prevent that event from happening, especially if that event is beyond your immediate control.

But how to simply stop worrying? Well, perceive your thoughts as links. When you worry, a previous association of thoughts brought on that emotion

Almost every time I think of the phrase “let go”, I am reminded of the whale scene from the movie, Finding Nemo. Dory the fish, exhorts worry-wart clownfish Marlin to trust her whale-translation abilities as he is desperately clinging to the whale’s tongue while staring down the gaping maw of death. On leaving comfort zones & relinquishing control:

wtf there are walls in #Control that you can break down? I just found out! Haven't yet found any visual cues on the walls themselves. Though those that I did break down had striking pictures hung on them, ones I hadn't seen anywhere else before.
In some cases you see rooms that have no obvious way in. In that case, breaking down a wall might be the solution. But I did find a hidden room only by hitting a wall that had a picture on it.

Have you ever followed your intuition and not gotten the outcome you wanted?

Your intuition is not outcome focused the same way humans tend to be. Your intuition is focused on giving you the experiences you need to be successful down the road. It is not focused on giving you the outcome you think you want in that particular situation.

Do you see the difference?

For you to follow your intuition successfully, you have to be willing to go on the journey and not pay attention to the outcome. You have to be willing to look for the value in the journey and accept that regardless of the outcome you will get what it is you need.

Your focus on the outcome makes you not trust your intuition because you don't think it gives you the right answer. Your intuition is not a cheat sheet. It is there to help guide you through the experiences in your life that will give you all of the skills and tools you need to be able to be successful in wherever it is you're going.

Every single choice I've made in the last few years has been intuitive. You've seen it; I've gone around in circles. I've done laps. I've messed up. It hasn't been a straight line and I rarely got the outcome I wanted.

I have gotten absolutely everything I've needed to be here this way right now though.

That is why I trust my intuition completely. I don't argue with my intuition. I simply go with it.

I know for sure that regardless of what happens I will get value out of the journey every single time and I'm willing to take that bet 100% of the time too.

Fully allowing your intuition to guide you means changing your focus from the outcome to the journey. It means deciding that the outcome matters less than the journey and that you're willing to see what you're being shown or offered through that experience.

I didn't start there. I didn't start being able to do that. I was very outcome dependent for a long time. And there were times where I considered no longer listening to my intuition because I wasn't happy with some of those outcomes.

Being on the other side of that and not wavering in my decision to follow my intuition has allowed me to heal, has allowed me to figure out what I want my life to look like, has allowed me to take my power back, understand who I am, make my own choices, and free myself from the cage that I had put myself in.

Your intuition is offering you a journey. It's offering you a road trip. You have to be willing to go on that road trip regardless of where it takes you. If you can do that, if you can get over needing to control it and needing to know the outcome, you will find that your life changes dramatically, not because you got control, but because you learned how to manage yourself within the experience.

The journey to me has been priceless. I wouldn't trade it for anything.

Your intuition is offering you a way forward. Your job is to take it and stop worrying so much about the outcome of the experience that you're in right now.

Love to all.

Della

@HistoPol @nycCatHerder @LadyDragonfly I’m not sure if they will spiral out of human control per se.

It’s just that the control will be so damned networked and ”everywhere all at once”, that enacting it will either require even more fine-grained control of human society, or just be impossible.

To prove a point, I think it already is like that. Facebook, Twitter and Youtube are not in #control of their #networks. OpenAI won’t be either. They’ll just keep pretending they are.

the nature of the system to grow, to want more #Control while #Anarchy is the opposite compulsion the desire to be free to have more self-determinism.

The complexity in life is that in most of us, one of these drives leads to the other in a chain of having cause and effect.

Knowing that our choice tends to limit others even if it is indirect is important to keep in mind.

Self-determinism is decided by self-reliance. while no one is self-sufficient we all rely on others. Love compromises.

I think one of the scariest thing of this data-gobbling world we live in is that there's nothing keeping someone else from uploading my data and pictures to a sketchy AI company or social network. No matter whether that's done maliciously or out of naïvity, it's completely out of my control.

I'm sure Facebook / Meta has my phone number although I never gave it to them because people who have me in their contacts uploaded their entire address book.

So i now have a gun in my home, finished the mandatory background check, the mandatory explanation of why i do need it (since i can also carry it in some rare case), made the mandatory training, proven the weapon was not usable for mass shooting (gun with a low number of bullet in it).

Proving that it's safely stored and also unable to be reachable by children even in my car.

Today i received the green flags from the cop so i've taken it from the shop.

Another proof that you can have access to the 2th amendement with proper Gun control law.

NRA try to make you think that Democrat want to fully ban gun when in fact they only want to control it better to prevent crazy people to buy assault weapon with large magazine like candy.

In the end social is all about #TRUST in a good society, yes you can use #CONTROL, but this makes a bad society. The #geekproblem keep pushing CONTROL because they do not understand this simple humane social need.

It’s a problem that is #blocking the coding we actually need, what are your ideas to unblock this?

The big block on taking the "problem" away from the "geek" in the hashtag #geekproblem is somehow getting past their desire for #control and the issue of #feudalism in our communerties. Kings, Princess, Nobals, are in no way a good path of "governance" in our democratic times.

Battle for Libraries

The nonprofit #InternetArchive is appealing a judgment that threatens the future of all #libraries.

Big #publishers are suing to cut off libraries’ ownership and #control of digital #books, opening new paths for #censorship.

Please, Internet, Do Your Thing!

#openweb the #fedivers is native to the thinking, it's working well and will likely destroy billions of dollars of #CONTROL and in balance create billions of "dollars" of happiness before it like the #OPENWEB early is consumed and goes back into the #CONTROL mess it grows from, this is a balance. Are you on the side of CONTROL or TRUST is a semi seruse question https://visionon.tv/w/btSja2Ljdhjr79eewDEqkZ

The reason I’m curious about running #AI on the browser is

a) #privacy it’s more private as no data leaves my browser
b) #control I get to choose what AI is running, instead of someone else deciding and running it on their server
c) potentially better #UX as running it locally may be faster and more reliable then remote API calls

And the most random assortment of buttons to summon Satan https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/eYYyqZR

Fun fact: first made this for a conference talk. Upon arriving there, discovered the venue was a church. One of the paintings there crashed with a loud noise during my talk.

Animated gif. Clicking the Summon Satan button brings up a Lucipurr character and a control panel with a melting pot of styles for the controls there. These controls can make Lucipurr's horns and forehead pentagram start glowing, can make his whiskers start moving, can make his fangs and claws come out, can adjust the length of his pitchfork or his eye colour.

✨ an animated version https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/VwzpMxV (Chromium only) of the candy ghost buttons I wrote about a few years back on CSS-Tricks: https://css-tricks.com/css-ing-candy-ghost-buttons/

Animated gif. Shows the pastel ghost buttons filling up from the bottom to the top on hover and this fill XOR-ing the button text and icon.

Some XOR effect close buttons for some random quotes https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/VwmQQwJ

The basic idea behind is something I recorded myself coding from scratch https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/bGBLXEy

The concept behind the XOR is something I explaine in this @css article https://css-tricks.com/taming-blend-modes-difference-and-exclusion/

Animated gif. Tiles getting rearranged after a tile before them is closed. The close button has a XOR effect on hover and the tile closing effect is the same.

Would have loved to do something for this week's #CodePenChallenge, but the past weeks have had too many tech (both hardware & software) and non-tech problems eating out of my time, so all I have is a bunch of older button demos I made on #CodePen:

The feeling of lacking control fosters creative thinking. 💡

This study suggests that primed lack of control carries over into later creative activity. Positively puzzled! 😀

Biden to spotlight gun control in Monterey Park and meet U.K., Australia leaders in San Diego

President #Biden will travel to #California on Monday for a multi-day visit that will include meetings with the leaders of Australia and the United Kingdom in San Diego and a stop in Monterey Park, the site of one of two mass shootings that rocked California in January.

Biden will meet with Prime Ministers #Rishi #Sunak of #Britain and #Anthony #Albanese of #Australia on Monday to highlight the security alliance known as #AUKUS, which was launched in 2021 to help Australia acquire nuclear-powered #submarines in an effort to counter China in the Indo-Pacific region.

The president will hold bilateral meetings with his counterparts and is expected to unveil details of U.S. efforts to provide Australia with the #technology and #nuclear capabilities.

On Tuesday, Biden will stop in #Monterey #Park, where a #gunman shot and killed 11 people at a dance studio during a Lunar New Year celebration on Jan. 21.

Biden is expected to highlight his efforts on #gun #control but it’s unclear if he will meet with the families of the victims or #Brandon #Tsay, the 26-year-old who disarmed the gunman at a second dance club.

"Cybernetics is not about #control in the #authoritarian sense but about control in the sense of self-regulating and self-organizing, i.e. anti-authoritarian #systems."

As promised, I published a new article about #cybernetics and other #tools that can support #anarchist #utopias.

#Employers always want you to take on more #responsibilities, but they never want to give you any #authority.

It's a trap; it's how #managers deflect #responsibility while maintaining #control.

We passed upon the #stairs
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his #friend
Which came as a #surprise
I spoke into his #eyes
I thought you #died #alone
A long, long #time ago

Oh no, not me
We never lost #control
You're #face to face
With the #man who sold the #world

Hi, I’m Garad! I’m pretty new to Mastodon, and am excited to find a good gaming instance. As far as games are concerned, I tend to like single-player games that have either good story or interesting mechanics. I also like playing co-op games with friends, and the occasional competitive game (though they tend to stress me out). Here’s some of my favorite #games to show where my interests lie:

#FFXIV
#MassEffect
#Nier
#BreathOfTheWild
#SlayTheSpire
#MonsterHunter
#Control

#introduction

«Israeli occupation forces have installed a new #AI-controlled machine gun at a checkpoint in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron to track and #shoot at Palestinians [..] Israel's use of #surveillance and facial recognition #technology appears to be among the most elaborate by a country seeking to #control a subject population»

James Baldwin wrote a book called “Givonni’s Room,” a novel about the moral struggle of a gay man. A reporter asked him if this novel was an attempt to get his own homosexuality “on the record.” His response is the epitome of self-empowerment:

“I don’t know if I wanted to get it on the record, but I wanted to confront it…it meant that I had no secrets…you didn’t tell me, I told you.”
