écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The corners being cut on robotaxis is bleak. You want a car to recognise a cat in the dark? We have a technology for that. It‘e called a thermal camera (or lidar can help too). If your $100k robotaxi can’t afford eyes that see warm mammals, your priorities are fucked. 111
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The writers really just have to keep making the plot more unhinged to stay relevant. SAD. 010
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This reminds me of another bleak IOS dark pattern that‘s been annoying me for a while. app: “download image?” app: “[Appname] would like to access your photo library” some people: yes thinking its necessary If you say no, image still downloads. 100
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 24/09/2026The most obscene dark pattern im seeing these days on ios apps is you open a random app then you get a pop-up “[Appname] would like to paste from [App you were just using]” You didn’t paste in the app. There’s no reason it has to see what you copied last. But it asks it. 1/3 210
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 07/03/2026Google Earth has tricked us into thinking the earth is observable, legible. That’s there’s a god’s eye view. LIES. It’s really fucking cloudy up there. Unless you have infinite patience to wait till the clouds move. The earth is just a cloudy blue marble. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 29/01/2026The more I think about it the more Cunk on Earth feels like a very elaborate advertisment for Technotronic’s Pump up the Jam. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 27/01/2026Everyone calling ICE “law enforcement” is playing right into their hands. Giving it credibility. This isn’t law enforcement, it’s state mafia, power, hierarchy enforcement. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 18/01/2026How many more, Revolutionary Liberation Movement -> Authoritarian Oligarchic State with Red Aesthetics Do we need before tankies start questioning stateism and the vanguard? 010
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 18/11/2025Authoritarianism in “Liberal Democracies”: In France, you can be fined for whistling during the national anthem in some sports games. If committed as part of an organised group, this goes up to 6 months in prison. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 13/11/2025I hate the debate on “is it really genocide” or “just” crimes against humanity. If you spend more energy trying to claim it doesnt count as genocide than learning about it and trying to help end the atrocity. Then you’re effectively complicit. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Surfing the web with a VPN feels like cloudflare assigning a full-time on duty bouncer to you. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 24/10/2025One of the easiest way to reveal your brains inner misogyny is to watch a womens version of the sport you watch all the time, and observe the thoughts that come into your head. 100
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 10/10/2025In asymmetric conflict, "anti-war" rhetoric condemning the violence of the conflict without addressing its causes (perhaps oppression, systemic violence, colonialism etc), can easily become a tool of the powerful/oppressor. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 25/09/2025One of the worst forms of gaslighting is being called “negative” or “doom and gloom” for describing the reality of your oppression. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 10/09/2025Anyways, there’s no such thing as innocent “patriotism”. Stateism kills, erases, enforces, and institutionalises everything we are fighting against. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 04/09/2025The choice of words, by media and politicians, of “pro-palestine” as opposed to “anti-genocide” is very deliberate. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 31/08/2025Problematic assumption. Look at disabling chronic illness circles and you’ll see those people are some of the most woke and aware of state harm and state abuse there is. An ill population is less able to fight back, but not less likely to recognise authoritarianism. Healthist to assume that. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 26/08/2025Calling it “law enforcement” is playing right into their hands. Giving it credibility. This isn’t law enforcement, it’s state mafia, power, hierarchy enforcement. 010
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 17/08/2025In the age of Trump, liberals are grieving the loss of what they call the “rules based international order”. While the autocratic international order is terrible, so was the manufactured consent machine with the technocratic illusion of fairness liberal nations created. Just look at Gaza. 120
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 05/08/2025For all the weird classical romanticising and linguistic prescriptivism in Parisian (Standard French) and English. The fact many neologisms were made modularly with greek/latin roots makes the language perhaps simpler to learn with pattern recognition. 100
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 03/08/2025“Meritocracy” in the sense the biggest arseholes are those most rewarded by the system. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 30/07/2025A good way to illustrate how ridiculous capitalist rent logic is is to take rural scotland. You have many farming families who’ve been renting the same farm since the 1700s They’ve paid centuries of rent. They’ve worked and maintained the land for 300 years. (1/2) 110
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 28/07/2025Authorities will always lie. That’s how they become authorities. Humans don’t tend to give other humans power over them unless they’re lied to. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 28/07/2025Ah, the pleasent roars of the leafblowers are back, I thank the mighty one, for they are cleaning the satanic leaves. 🙏 The children will be free from brown influences. Left to the beautiful monoculture of grass. No dreaded diversity. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 26/07/2025When the most powerful judges in the country can be bribed. It isn’t democracy. As in demos (people) kratos (rule). It’s corpocracy. 010
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 24/07/2025While your letter to your representative gets binned because they “can’t read everything” your representative is hosting hour long meetings with corporate lobbyists over catered lunch. Welcome to Liberal Democracy. Or Should I say, Corpocracy. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 23/07/2025What Liberal Capitalism and Corporate NGO Conservationism don’t admit, is that if we reach 2.5-3 Degrees C warming. Which is looking inevitable unless we go for growth agnosticism. Polar bears, will be extinct in the wild. No magic solution, no silver bullets. No ice = no bears. Simple as that. 110

écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 15/07/2025Google photos on ios is literally a hostage situation. Remove key functionalities like copying an image or editing an image unless you give them full unrestricted access to your entire photo library. (The holy grail of surveillance capitalism data). Data extortion masquerading as a service. 110
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 14/07/2025The broken system is literally genetically engineering us to be assholes. like if you were an asshole back gatherer-hunter tribes after a while youd get kicked out of your tribe and youd starve to death. there was natural selection against assholes. now theres natural selection towards them. 221
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 14/07/2025what kind of human does it take to be to become a leader of an oligarcho-heirarchical nation state (liberal democracy)? it self selects for assholes who use tricks and connections to get into power (and don’t even ask about who succeeds in capitalism) 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 14/07/2025We literally made a system that rewards people for being assholes, and we wonder why our world is going to shit… 020
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 13/07/2025The follow-up, is that to victims of the genocidal nation state, the only defence they can imagine is a nation state of their own. The idea that culturally very different peoples could live close by in peace without borders seperating them has been stomped from the collective imagination. 100

écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 10/07/2025What do you call corporations that have a domination on land, people, resources, and violence in a large inhabited area? “Anarcho”-Capitalism is just stateism with extra steps. 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 09/07/2025The modern concept of the nation-state is an inherently genocidal one. Homogenised cultures over territories aren’t created out of thin air. They are engineered, manufactured. Paid with cultural genocides. 000

écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 06/07/2025In the UK the top 1% own over 50% of the land. “But no bro this isn’t feudalism bro this is meritocracy bro everyone deserves to be where they are bro. Inheritance doesn’t mean much we’re on equal footing bro.” 000

écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Democracy is dead. Democracy remains dead. And we have killed it. How shall we comfort ourselves, the disenfranchised of all disenfranchisers? What was once most sacred, the hope of the people to govern themselves, has bled out beneath our austerity, our blindness, our order. (a nod to Nietzche) 000
écrevisse @ecrevisse.bsky.social · 01/07/2025We’re going from neoliberalism to oligarchic authoritarianism and it’s hard to spot the line seperating the two. I think that says a lot. 000
