  • Le persone cambiano, su questo non c'è ombra di dubbio. Siamo quantomeno tutti delle navi di Teseo in quanto organismi con un ciclo di rinnovamento cellulare.

    Non lo so come funzioni per le cellule nervose, per la verità, ma suppongo che riproducano di meno per garantire una sorta di stabilità e coerenza di personalità... o forse no, ma non importa.

    Mi accorgo che le mie posizioni su alcuni temi etici stanno virando, non capovolgendo, sia chiaro, ma stanno cambiando. Mi viene da dire che si stanno ricalibrando come se le condizioni di contorno e i limiti fossero cambiati e bisognasse riproiettarle su un nuovo sistema di riferimento.

    Eppure frequento solo il Fediverso, come social network online. Non guardo la TV, penso solo al lavoro e ad alcuni hobby.

    Dunque cosa fa cambiare la mia percezione del mondo? Davvero le 10 ore di ufficio, di cui forse in totale 15-20 minuti effettivi trascorsi con colleghi al caffé, che alla fine non la pensano nemmeno troppo diversamente da me, hanno questo potere di far virare la mia visione del mondo in modo non radicale, ma comunque percettibile?

    Non è che improvvisamente, per dirne una, i generatori di immagini o di testi mi sembrano diventati eticamente accettabili, ma li vedo come meno inaccettabili rispetto per dire ad un anno fa. E questo sta accadendo su diverse cose, che una volta mi parevano monoliti tra miei valori etici.

    Le mie certezze sono meno assolute. I miei capisaldi, meno saldi.

    Ci ho fatto caso oggi stesso, postando un testo che ha sollevato diverse critiche da persone con cui sono in contatto da anni qui sul Fediverso. L'ho riletto più volte e sì, c'erano un paio di battute di cattivo gusto, che forse un anno fa non avrei fatto, ma che oggi ho trovato buffe o umoristiche. E nonostante ci abbia riflettuto e compreso, accettato come legittimo, il punto di vista di chi me le ha segnalate, continuo a non vederci tutto sommato un male assoluto... ma piuttosto una sensibilità violata, questo sì.

    Possibile che io possa aver recepito, senza essere stato esposto in alcun modo massiccio, il bombardamento propagandistico culturale filo-MAGA mitragliato ad oltranza dall'America verso i Paesi occidentali? Lo spero, perché l'alternativa vorrebbe dire che sono rincoglionito, e a quello non c'è, ahimé, alcun rimedio...

    No, credo che sia quello che ho detto all'inizio. Credo che il contesto determini la risposta, e cambiando radicalmente, induca degli aggiustamenti sulle priorità dei valori che sostengono i comportamenti.

    Credo che, dopo anni a cercare (e non riuscire a trovare) il modo di cambiare la percezione e le opinioni dentro la testa delle persone, qualcuno abbia raggiunto una sorta di massa critica che gli consente di alterare a piacere il contesto pubblico (tipo le big tech) per cambiare la risposta delle persone. Molto pratico. E agghiacciante.

    O forse sono invecchiato e mi sto rincoglionendo?

    O forse sto diventando uno stronzo e sto cercando un capro espiatorio?

    O forse lo sempre stato e mi sono nascosto dietro a un dito che oggi non mia coperto abbastanza?

    Non lo so, ma basta adesso vado a sedermi sulla mia seggiolina di vimini con una coperta a quadri sulle gambe, a guardare Retequattro. E morirò sbavando.

  • Un mesetto e mezzo per finire Kingdom Come Deliverance, che giocone. Pur pieno di bug e fatiche, soprattutto nel combattimento che iniziamente è super punitivo, non sono riuscita a staccarmi dal gioco nella sua ultima parte, completando il più possibile delle missioni secondarie, raccogliendo un sacco di armature pazze per poter completare l'epilogo vestito come un giullare da tanta roba che ho messo addosso a Henry. Bello bello (non credo installerò il secondo capitolo a breve)

    Destroying Autocracy – November 27, 2025Welcome to this week’s “Destroying Autocracy”.It’s your source for curated news affecting democracy in the cyber arena with a focus on protecting it. That necessitates an opinionated Butlerian jihad against big tech as well as evangelizing for open-source and the Fediverse. Since big media’s journalism wing is flailing and failing in its core duty to democracy, this is also a collection of alternative reporting on the eternal battle between autocracy and democracy. We also cover the cybersecurity world. You can’t be free without safety and privacy.FYI, my opinions will be in bold. And will often involve cursing. Because humans. Especially tech bros. And fascists. Fuck ’em.The Programmer’s Fulcrum is the future (and smaller) home for a fusion of Symfony Station and Battalion. Its tagline is Devs Defending Democracy, Developing the OMN.You can sign up now and for 2025 get an email with links to each week’s Symfony Station Communiqué and Battalion “Destroying Autocracy” post along with their featured articles. And you’ll be set with TPF after the fusing in January.We are posting on the Fediverse now at @thefulcrum @thefulcrum.dev and original website content will start in 2026.Featured Item(s)The Atlantic writes:Over the weekend, Elon Musk’s X rolled out a feature that had the immediate result of sowing maximum chaos. The update, called “About This Account,” allows people to click on the profile of an X user and see such information as: which country the account was created in, where its user is currently based, and how many times the username has been changed.Nikita Bier, X’s head of product, said the feature was “an important first step to securing the integrity of the global town square.” Roughly four hours later, with the update in the wild, Bier sent another post: “I need a drink.”Almost immediately, “About This Account” stated that many prominent and prolific pro-MAGA accounts, which signaled that they were run by “patriotic” Americans, were based in countries such as Nigeria, Russia, India, and Thailand.@MAGANationX, an account with almost 400,000 followers and whose bio says it is a “Patriot Voice for We The People,” is based in “Eastern Europe (Non-EU),” according to the feature, and has changed its username five times since the account was made, last year.On X and Bluesky, users dredged up countless examples of fake or misleading rage-baiting accounts posting aggressive culture-war takes to large audiences. An account called “Maga Nadine” claims to be living in and posting from the United States but is, according to X, based in Morocco. An “America First” account with 67,000 followers is apparently based in Bangladesh. Poetically, the X handle @American is based in Pakistan, according to the feature.Elon Musk’s Worthless, Poisoned Hall of MirrorsJust FYI, December 25th will be the day I stop exploring the stupidity of our current timeline and the last Destroying Autocracy post.
