EP 9: STACK ATTACK (Cade) by New Models (public) published on 2018-12-08T19:02:10Z Berlin-based designer Cade, a specialist in weaponized design, discusses the collateral (human) damage platforms cause as they scale; questions big tech's G-rated ideation of the average subject; considers the functionality of personal mobile devices within precarious communities, and remarks on the actual inefficiency of the cloud.

Padilla / ngp regarding new systems, i'm surprised crypto-based social media platforms like Stemmit and Akasha were not brought up. their concept is to reward users for actively sharing their content and data rather than exploit and sell it off to the private sector 2019-01-30T03:13:52Z Comment by New Models (public) @davidl1: wow 2018-12-13T10:38:17Z Comment by aids-3d @davidl1: Agreed. It may have been an oversight for them at first, but they successfully pivoted it into being core to their brand image. They can still transition towards more subscription based services (which they have been prioritizing) without getting into the personal data selling business which could so easily blow up in FB and Google's faces at any time 2018-12-12T11:22:15Z Comment by aids-3d @davidl1: Unfortunately, I'm the only NM Fortnite fan. I would be happy to try this out though, lol. 2018-12-12T11:02:40Z Comment by @LILINTERNET @davidl1: Thanks for the comments as always (no response doesn't mean we didn't read and there's no "like" here). As for "pro-ana" being a reach yeah but I mean, how often do you get to reference Livejournal esoterica from a time when the attention economy's casualties were still on a niche subcultural level as opposed to a societal one? He saw an opportunity and took it lol. 2018-12-12T00:20:22Z Comment by cbcb2000 @davidl1: I think the problem is - beyond the fact that these stacks are so very integrated in the way we're in touch with each other (getting off FB is easy, but messenger, IG, and all of those damn logins) is the fact that when you leave a platform, you don't get to post the fact that you did. it's literally counter-incentivized from an attentional pov, right? 2018-12-12T00:06:34Z Comment by Itsma3D Lol I find so funny that Busta is so shocked by a chocolate robbery. 2018-12-10T23:53:26Z
