A powerful artifact was created during @pluralistic visit to Tartu on May 10th after the #seizethemeans of computation discussion at the Institute of Computer Science. Pretty obvious what it does, because it has Cory's incantations recorded on it, but what does it take to operate it? https://w.wiki/A3jT #tartu2024 #estonia

Aastaid on olnud juttu, et Internetis pole enam tore -- aga kes on süüdi? Oma provokatiivse diagnoosi olukorrale pakub Kanada päritolu digiaktivist ja ulmekirjanik @pluralistic, keda kuuleb tuleval nädalal kõnelemas ka Tartus, sj saavad avalikul arutelul arvutiteaduse instituudis vastuse kõik tekkinud küsimused! https://isoc.ee/interneti-persereerumine/

"Näiteks Titanic ei olnud utoopiline ettevõtmine. Omal ajal seletasid asjaosalised, et see laev on nii kindel, et päästeveste ei olegi vaja. Niisugune suhtumine ei tee sinust utopisti, vaid sitapea." https://www.sirp.ee/s1-artiklid/c7-kirjandus/voimusuhted-on-tehnoloogia-puhul-koige-olulisem-asi/

Remember the first time you used Google search? It was like magic. After years of progressively worsening search quality from Altavista and Yahoo, Google was literally stunning, a gateway to the very best things on the internet.

@pluralistic When in 2000 I wrote a search engine review to an Estonian computer magazine I considered Altavista better for refined and accurate searches, but appreciated Google for generic queries as it lacked optional keywords and did not well enough respect my operators -- I think it was rather mass than magic that made me out of convenience prefer Google more and more, because the core experience did not ever really change. https://gafgaf.infoaed.ee/posts/internetis-ronivad-3mblikud/
