Oh man… this takes me back.
My grandpa used to always say to us kids, “I’m going to go upstairs to have sex with your grandmother”.

Can someone please explain telemetry to me in this context? Is telemetry just a broad umbrella term for usage data or does it indicate a specific type of data or category of data?
Of course there are degrees of usefulness and different types of organizing, but generally, your wrong here in your first point. Some merit in your second claim, but overall, it’s something they likely feared to a degree as a point of connection and amplification of information.
He needs daddy’s approval and the other billionaires are surrogate daddy. That would be the social agenda influence you’re referencing. Look at how desperate and odd he was on stage with dave chapelle, that was a core view into his base self, he needs to be praised. He’s also a eugenics/natalism cult member and sees the wealthy as his equal, superior “race” of people - so he would 100% sacrifice a lot for even their passing approval.
Wallow looks interesting, how is it on battery use though?

No it isn’t.
No… No it’s not… But you can imagine what’d be like if it was, right?
I’m sure they are bad, because general corporation and enshittification cycle, but when someone consistently mentions, “a single tweet” or something like that that they represent as purely innocuous (but without any explanation or link to source), gets my suspicious radar WAY up…
On purpose.
Only clearer by the day that this was all an exercise to intentionally kill Twitter to the benefit of billionaires, fascists and other extremists.
Twitter existed as a relatively free and open public space to communicate, organize and assemble to take actions for and against things at scale before musk (e.g. The Arab Spring, a terrifying moment for the Saudis especially - the second largest shareholder behind musk).
When people collectively laughed at elon and his cringe, inbred, emerald boy antics or his humiliating divorce and other routine failures, Twitter was the bullhorn.
Now elon and his desperate far right Toadies will work to try to rewrite reality so they can eventually have this conversation:
"Twitter? What’s a Twitter? Wait, are you talking about blork? A bird? No, blork’s logo is a dinosaur with chainsaw arms… and everyone wants to be his best friend… and it’s against the law to divorce him… and he’s cool… and…"
What an everlasting tool history will remember you as, elon. If they remember you at all, it will be to laugh at you - you’ll never outrun that.

Not pretty, but Kenesis (sp?) is the winner. Tried many available options through work, stuck with their design for years now.
The problem is actually that it has been thought through, extensively. The cruelty is the point. Also, nobody ever asked this “web designer” to design a website for a LGBTQIA+ wedding. This is a created farce, about a “what if”. This person creates templates, and doesn’t want LGBTQIA+ to be able to buy them as anyone else could. Conservative donors cherry picked this to ride it up the line to get their time in front of the corrupt, broken SCOTUS.
This allows a person to say that, if they FEEL that whatever their work is is a demonstration of art or self expression, they can limit who receives it… A.K.A. “I put love into the food I make at this diner I own, and my religion is for white, Christians only. We don’t serve food to none of the other non-whites. You need to leave!”
IMO, a not-insignificant factor here is attention - most people are doing two things (at least) while watching TV these days. They aren’t fully tuned in and actively listening to hear what’s being said in English speaking shows, even with heavy regional dialects. You can definitely follow these shows, you just have to “be there”.
Second observation is actually around Neurodivergent people. I find certain people fixate on understanding exact language and meaning in TV shows/movies, when in reality, much of the content speaking to multicultural audiences know that you won’t exactly understand every cultural reference or specific phrase - when the Italian mafia boss shouts quickly with angry eyes and runs the back of his hand under his chin at someone… You don’t need to know specifically that he said, “your mother is a prostitute who sleeps with goats”. You’re meant to take the general context of that moment from tone and body language. ESPECIALLY say, is the person he’s yelling at in Italian is American for example, that confusion you feel personally adds to you emphasizing with the fear and confusion of that character who doesn’t understand what’s being said. Many though can’t break that fixation on needing to know EXACTLY though, so I know people that keep the subtitles on.
I think some people should probably just be trained to consume media properly, and they may respond well to that training if it existed somehow. Problem is, all of the networks are owned by huge multinational conglomerates. They don’t care at all about the art or the split attention, just that they have captured that diverted attention in both places that you’re half focusing on.
“Folding Ideas” does amazing work on YouTube around exposing grifters in well structured, long form explanations of their grifts.
One of their videos looked into a group of growth hustler type folks, a pair of twins. Part of their scam was automating the process of creating fake books like this from start to finish to sell them online for passive income.
Highly recommend anything this channel creates. Worth your time to have a focused sit to watch the journey unfold (especially if interested in the main subject of this post).
Feel like this may be missing needed context.
For example, if I say, “man, I’m going to take a huge bite out of that thing!” it’s a different conversation if I’m looking at a big sandwich versus looking at a newborn baby.
So… Anything else you might want to share about your specific statement or its focus?
Glad you called it out. Hate this forced crossed contamination.
I make it a point to not engage with any of the shorts content - especially since they deliberately made it difficult to add to watch later list. My time is held hostage in that moment and FUCK if that isn’t a great way to get me to not engage with that bullshit, even if I was interested in the content.
On Android…
I am eternally grateful for the welcoming start to fediverse apps in Jerboa.
Connect is visually nice in places, but not a fit for me (so far).
I’m REALLY enjoying functionality of Summit so far - don’t know how to submit a new post in a community in app though and it’s driving me crazy that I may be missing something obvious…

Try not to link if you can, just screenshot or copy text. Don’t need to drive any traffic to that pit of despair.
Good. Now, extending this logic, if I have ZERO WATCH HISTORY of shorts videos on my account, then… STOP CLOGGING MY SUBSCRIPTION FEED WITH SHORTS!!!
