It’s easier and better to take courage and admit that okay I was wrong and shut down the failed project (and any other projects) than to pull a nonsense and make it worse just to show them you’re “so good” you can’t be wrong.

It’s easier and better to take courage and admit that okay I was wrong and shut down the failed project (and any other projects) than to pull a nonsense and make it worse just to show them you’re “so good” you can’t be wrong.
Frankly, I’m tired of Apple and all their greedy, stupid tactics. Once I had a few gifted Apple products, then I saw the truth and stopped. Today I’m talking about all those software and firmware updates you can’t turn off, the annoying non-stop notifications, spying, the lack of repair and ownership rights, the hidden complex terms of use, closed nature, etc. It seems like they don’t really care about your quality of life, only their profits, numbers and money. They’ve hired some talented engineers and designers, had some success in hardware and so on, but the root, the DNA of this company (as well as all other similar overgrown corporations of the modern era) is corrupt and useless, sometimes even seriously endangering the environment.
Listen guys, I know for sure all your ‘security’ updates is just a scam thing to fraud me to slow my devices and to sell me your new fancy toys like “pro” subscriptions and other muddy marketing stuff.
Still Apple has a good taste in design (sometimes) and is much better than Google, Microsoft or Samsung – these are much worse.
Open hardware and open source, that’s the real way to do computing – that’s got some real perspective. I recommend. Meanwhile, the tactics of overgrown hardly focused on money corporations do sooner or later will lead to disaster.
I can’t stand their dogmatism, their lack of critical thinking.
To maintain and translate good quality cultural code we need real philosophy, not religions.
Be open, ask questions.
The concept of decentralization was hidden to Plato in his criticism of democracy, and in general all his writings on the nature of the state are a weak nonsense.
But yeah, indeed, in some terms, democracy sucks, masses as a phenomenon ain’t good at all – easy to manipulate them and you better not to equal the system to the average – better be in focus on best – that looked especially stupid in communists ideology- they say “let’s make everything equal to lower classes”… what was the result? Collapse and decay.
But for today’s democracy is okay, this system… it works more or less adequately, better than others. It is a middle link on the way to future, to much more efficient decentralized systems of social organization.
People were just afraid of losing their jobs, that’s why they buzzed so much about new wave of AI, meanwhile its just an utility that scrambled other peoples’ experiences over the internet, no real revolution happened. If you already got boring job, you’ve got nothing to lose.
False hype is a common thing this era. Mass hysteria. It’s all about the internet too.
To neutralize mass anxiety, ignore over-hyped issues, very accurately touch mass media sources, even ‘top quality’ newspapers like nyc times or the guardian tends to leave such a mess in your head after all. Remember – they profit from this fear/clickbait.
The only thing to fear is the fear itself.
Harvest-23 Album On Bandcamp – 3+ hours, free download
Yesterday I finished this year’s textural ambient album.
It’s already become my tradition – every year around August time I publish a big long play of drones for sleep – I use that for sleep and meditations.
The tradition started around 2019 when I found time to publish tons of my unreleased ambient works from the period 2018-2019.
Occasionally I found that such music is perfect for sleep.
After listening-listening-listening for some months to it (U-Textural & Mind Related Works REC/RFC) I tired and decided to make something similar but new – Perfect Sleep (Released in November, 2020) – it went good and useful too, next year I made Massive and so on.
All the good things we have in society are thanks to those who fought and protested before us.
The exposition of life (the will) does not lead to self-preservation but to the manifestation of power.
The key here is to understand what real power/authority is – it is always open and wide, it gives much and does not ask for anything in return.
It’s not a closed totalitarian model – those things… I call it “a slave’s power” – famous examples of such “false concept of power” degenerates: stalin, putin.
Convenient to hate, harder to understand
I have temporarily closed comments here as I’m getting too many bots and threats, especially from paid putinists. Comments and discussions are still available in the hidden part of this website – HYPERFOCUS EXTRA

Because…
