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"
|
||||||
|

||||||

||||||
|
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

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

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)
