a short story of bias

Before reading this, I want to ask you a question. What does the word "based" mean to you?
Do you see it as meaning "agreed", "admirable", or something like that?
Or, do you see it as an alt-right dogwhistle used by white supremacists and /pol/?
If it was the second one, you're a victim of... society.
Now, before we go off the rails, I want to clarify that I am not taking any corner of the
political spectrum. That is not the plan. The plan is to warn people about listening to
one side of the argument, and only that side.
"I watch CNN and I watch Fox News. I like to stay informed about the enemy"
-look4tyou
Let me explain my idea in a simpler way. If you grow up in a Windows household, you're
more likely to hate MacOS. If you grow up in a MacOS household, you're more likely to hate
Windows. This isn't too crazy of a concept.
Bias, which is what a sane person would call this, is not uncommon at all in the modern day.
Going back to my original question, if you're primarily leftist, you may have mistaken "based"
as an evil word used by neo-nazis on *chan. Each side likes to fight against eachother, and
lots of people will instantly reject the enemy and stay with what they know.
This, however, is a terrible idea. If you know what your side is doing, you're getting by.
If you know what the other side is doing, you're winning.
For example, if A is planning to nuke B's castle, and B has no idea, they're screwed.
If B is watching A, they're going to know ahead of time and prepare. Even if the information
they have is very minor - it's better than nothing.

Entertainers like to seem complicated
But we're not complicated
I can explain it pretty easily
Have you ever been to a birthday party for children?
And one of the children
Won't stop screaming
'Cause he's just a little attention attractor
When he grows up
To be a comic or actor
He'll be rewarded
For never maturing
For never understanding or learning
That every day
Can't be about him
There's other people
You selfish asshole
I must be psychotic
I must be demented
To think that I'm worthy
Of all this attention
Of all of this money, you worked really hard for
I slept in late while you worked at the drug store
My drug's attention, I am an addict
But I get paid to indulge in my habit
It's all an illusion
I'm wearing make-up
I'm wearing make-up
Make-up, make-up, make-up, make...
Art is dead
So people think you're funny
How do you get those people's money?
Said art is dead
We're rolling in dough
While Carlin rolls in his grave
His grave, his grave
The show has got a budget
The show has got a budget
And all the poor people way more deserving of the money
Won't budge it
'Cause I wanted my name in lights
When I could have feed a family of four
For forty fucking fortnights
Forty fucking fortnights
I am an artist, please God forgive me
I am an artist, please don't revere me
I am an artist, please don't respect me
I am an artist, you're free to correct me
A self-centered artist
Self-obsessed artist
I am an artist
I am an artist
But I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid
I'm just a kid, kid
And maybe I'll grow out of it

RSS and how it can save the Internet: a short intro
2kwatts.exozy.me
#### Wtf is RSS? ####
RSS is a type of web feed that lets you see updates to certain websites. Whether it's a blog,
a forum or a social media profile, you can easily see new posts all in one place.
#### Okay, but why is it important? ####
Websites like Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, etc. get to decide who is in the spotlight and who
is listened to. This is a real problem, because at any moment, anyone can be censored and
hidden by the platform they're using.
If we use RSS, we can very easily curate the content that we consume and listen to the creators
that we like. Since RSS is more a protocol than a centralized platform (sorta like E-Mail), there
is very little chance that people can be censored for thinking differently, and it allows them to
reach the audience they're looking for.
#### If it's so good, how come it's for boomers? ####
Companies like Google used to run RSS/Atom feed readers like Google Reader. Google Reader was released
in late 2005 and whacked in 2013 by Google itself. This has greatly impacted the decentralized web and
has turned it into one that is primarily ran by just a handful of big companies.
#### How to help fix the Internet ####
This only touches the surface of the Internet iceberg, and I recommend that you dive into RSS a bit more.
Below I'll list some RSS clients that you can run for free, very easily.
Linux: Liferea (OSS)
Android: Feeder (OSS, F-Droid)
Windows: RSSOwlnix (OSS)
MacOS users aren't people. But Reeder 5 should be good enough.
Some RSS feeds I like are The Verge (tech news), XKCD (comic), ta180m's blog (random website)
