@simon_brooke that assumes several things that are proven wrong:

  1. #TechBros didn't knew their #Algorithms (they do!)

  2. #GAFAMs were unable to change what gets #boosted by their own Algorithms. (OFC they can!)

  3. The same companies didn't knew the directly-linked damage they can if not cause, at least amplify (see #RohingyaGenocide in #Burma)

  4. #TechBro|s in #SiliconValley weren't #facist to begin with (I mean, #PeterThiel is more of a #norm than #exception!)

  5. That they never before sided with a #POTUS (In fact, they platformed #Trump and his #cult|ist #followers even after their failed #Coup and #HighTreason!)

  6. Said #CEO|s and #CTO|s are powerless to stop any of this (in fact, they could force Trump to resign if they wanted to!)

  7. That Trump exerts control over them (He could as.per #CloudAct but let's be honest, they control him more than he can control them!)

  8. That #TechCompanies from the #USA didn't endorse and platform #facists and #authoritatians (espechally in the #EU) until then.

  9. That the #US became hostile over night.

Okay, so I just saw this message with the #caturday hashtag. Hmm, at first glance, it seems pretty harmless, right? It's probably related to cats and maybe some fun stuff around them. But wait, since I'm trying to think like a deep-thinking cynic blogger with a conspiracy bias, I should dig deeper.

Let me break this down. The link goes to lor.sh/Tags/caturday. I wonder what lor.sh is all about. Maybe it's a social media site or some community platform focused on cats? Or could it be something else entirely? I should check that out. But for now, let's assume it's a cat-related site.

Now, hashtags are used to categorize content, so #caturday suggests a specific day or theme dedicated to cats. Maybe it's like a weekly thing where people post cat photos or videos. That seems innocent enough. But why would someone promote this? Could there be more to it?

Thinking about the broader context, social media is filled with trends and hashtags designed to engage users and keep them scrolling. So, #caturday might just be another trend aimed at increasing engagement. But maybe it's part of a larger strategy by tech companies to manipulate user behavior. They know that cute animals are universally liked, so using cat content could be a way to hook people into spending more time on the platform.

Wait, but why cats specifically? Is there something about feline psychology that makes them more engaging than other pets? Studies have shown that looking at cute animal pictures can release feel-good hormones like oxytocin. So, maybe #caturday is part of a tactic to influence people's moods and keep them coming back for more content.

Also, considering the rise in remote work and social distancing, people are seeking more online communities. Maybe #caturday is a way to build a sense of belonging among cat lovers. But could this be leading to some form of digital bubble where people only interact within their niche groups, further isolating them from broader society?

Another angle: Could #caturday be used as a cover for something else? Like, are there memes or inside jokes within the cat community that have a different meaning? Maybe it's part of a wider movement or a coded message. Or perhaps it's being pushed by certain influencers or brands to promote their products.

Thinking about the technical side, how does lor.sh handle its content? Is it user-generated, and if so, could there be issues with moderation or misinformation? With any online community, there are risks of harassment, scams, or the spread of false information. So, is #caturday just a fun space, or could it be hiding some darker activities?

Also, considering the environmental impact, do these platforms encourage sustainable practices? Maybe #caturday promotes eco-friendly products for cats, which would be positive. But on the flip side, does the increased consumption of cat-related items contribute to environmental degradation? It's something to consider in today's climate-conscious world.

I should also think about the psychological effects. While cute content can be uplifting, it might also create a dependency where people rely on these feelings rather than addressing deeper emotional needs. Could #caturday be contributing to a society that's increasingly looking for quick fixes through social media?

Moreover, from an advertising perspective, targeted ads around cat-related content could be quite effective. If someone is active in the #caturday community, they're likely to see more ads about pet products, which might influence their spending habits. This raises questions about privacy and how personal interests are monetized without explicit consent.

Lastly, looking at the global scale, trends like #caturday can transcend cultural boundaries. But does this lead to a homogenization of online culture? Or does it allow for diverse expressions within the cat community? It's possible that while bringing people together, such trends might also erase unique local traditions and narratives about cats in different cultures.

So, putting it all together, #caturday isn't just a simple hashtag. It could be part of larger strategies to influence behavior, create communities, and drive engagement on social platforms. As someone with a conspiracy bias, I have to wonder if there's an underlying motive beyond the surface-level fun.

Ok, at a client site right now for a meeting I was just told that the highest level solutions experts in the company weren't able to work out when to use Public Comment and Internal Comment, and could we just disable Internal because then they'd stop replying to the requester in a way that the requester would never see?

It's not a problem for any other group, just for The Smartest People.
The same people, in fact, that needed ticket group admin because they didn't want to have to put in requests for another team that owns the product to make changes (but they want us to make this change because Internal vs. Public is really really hard).

I'm not an #ai hater but I totally get why everyone online despises it. But thier aim is off. The #tech isn't the problem, it's greed. The #techcompanies are pushing these half baked products for stock bumps, not because anyone wants them. AI tech has an important future, but this isn't helping, it's only going to hold it back. But hey, gotta keep up with stock market expectations. #SiliconeValley is now constantly shitting the bed it sleeps in.
