#Enshitification All Around:
"These Digital Goliaths are utilizing their websites’ authority and the public’s trust in their brands to sell every product under the sun.
They’re buying magazines we love, closing their print operations, turning them into digital-only, laying off the actual journalists who made us #trust in their content in the first place, and hiring third-party companies to run the affiliate arm of their sites."
The foundation of a 🔄 submissive-dominant dynamic is deep trust & communication. For the #submissive, entrusting control to a caring #dominant 🤝 offers profound emotional safety. This trust, built over time, fosters a strong bond 💞, deepening the relationship's fulfillment. 🌱 #Trust#Bond
It is beginning to get dreary and repetitive - ‘We told you so’
Government officials have buried an analysis of the financial prospects for some of the most vulnerable farmers in the UK after realising it was almost entirely bad news, the Guardian can reveal.
Objectivity is a long-standing pillar of journalism, but its definition and application are loosely defined and humanly impossible to achieve, media experts say. Podcast guest Emily Atkin argues that an uncritical adherence to objectivity (over trust) has led to gaslighting readers about the real-world causes and urgency of the climate crisis.
To date this year in the United States, 32,500 people have been laid off in the #tech sector. During 2023, 263,000 were laid off, and in 2022 it was 165,000. And these data are only for the U.S. tech sector.
From the #actor POV, it has been fascinating to watch people share their lived layoff experiences, as well as the cycle of job search —> job application —> job interview —> additional job interviews —> no job offer —> repeat, because it’s evident this cycle is not customary for many. 🧵
Author (and fellow Texan) Dr. Brené Brown reminds us, “While #vulnerability is the birthplace of many of the fulfilling experiences we long for — #love, belonging, #joy, #creativity and #trust, to name a few — the process of regaining our emotional footing in the midst of struggle is where our #courage is tested and our values are forged. Rising strong after a fall is how we cultivate wholeheartedness in our lives; it’s the process that teaches us the most about who we are.”
Such reports have become more frequent recently. Of course, #web#security is not just simple, but as a provider you should, in my opinion, test it officially to maintain #trust – is #spoutible professional?
«Twitter alternative spouts a massive #leak: Spoutible’s #API coughed up #password's, #2FA info, and tokens that could let attackers take over anyone’s #account.»
"people across the political spectrum hold stereotypes about scientists’ political orientation (e.g., “scientists are liberal”) and that these stereotypes decisively affect the link between their own political orientation and their trust in scientists"
Just had to file a complaint against Hilton for not complying with direct #marketing opt-outs, non-compliance with #GDPR Articles 5,6,7,12,13,21 and 25 as well as Article 5(3) of 2002/58/EC for their web site, #mobile application and #email service which all use tracking technologies without consent.
Why the disdain for Bret Weinstein (not steen)? He's been consistent since the beginning of Darkhorse. He wasn't all in on the vaccines, he stated that there is no scientific way that anything developed that quickly could be labeled safe and effective in real science. He kept diving in, and kept uncovering more and more BS. I trust him to genuinely apply first principles when looking at any topic these days. And his first principal now is: psyop unless proven otherwise. The NA way! #itm#trust

PS: Definitely true. I remember when online news wouldn't link to anything, because clicking would take the reader off-site. Thank goodness we've broken through that barrier. For science journalism, the next step is to make citations and links to primary sources universal, not just common.
⟨ " In this talk, I am going to make several arguments.
One, that there are two different kinds of trust—interpersonal trust and social trust—and that we regularly confuse them.
Two, that the confusion will increase with artificial intelligence. We will make a fundamental category error. We will think of AIs as friends when they’re really just services.
Three, that the corporations controlling AI systems will take advantage of our confusion to take advantage of us. They will not be trustworthy.
And four, that it is the role of government to create trust in society. And therefore, it is their role to create an environment for trustworthy AI. And that means regulation. Not regulating AI, but regulating the organizations that control and use AI. " ⟩
