Linus Torvalds on Social Media

4/4/2019

For me, this news is redemption but also frustrating. I have been explaining how social media is a disease for a while now and have several articles and spoken words about the subject. Now, a legend of computer programming, Linus Torvalds, has expressed his disdain for social media platforms and how they operate.

As I have said, platforms like Instagram build addiction through manipulating neurotransmitter flow via the design and operation of the User Interface. I look forward to there being more news on this subject.

I am willfully linking content from my "Prolepticon" section in this News Blog page which I'm not totally comfortable doing given that the Prolepticon has an important waiver to explain its experimental narrative nature. However, I feel as if eventually, the News Blog may be moved over to the Prolepticon section.

I lost interest in Twitter back in 2012. I tried "free speech" platforms recently but found them wanting.

I'm taking a leap and will control my own feed here.

All visitors can comment as they wish, anonymously or otherwise.

The headlines tend to be provocative but only within the context of irony.

I'm not a purveyor of fake news (whatever the fuck that is) and my News Blog is about my reporting on news items.

My philosophical and political bent is rational individualist. I expect and desire no gang that backs me up. Instead, I just want to reach out to, and share my ideas with, other individualist thinkers.
