Ragioni per essere ottimisti. Il sito gail(dot)com riceve migliaia di visite (e decine di migliaia di email) perché molte persone sbagliano a scrivere "gmail". Il dominio è stato comprato nel 1996 come regalo di un marito a sua moglie. E la pagina delle FAQ, l'unica online, è interessante da leggere. Offre ragioni per essere ottimisti sulla natura umana.

La vita è bellissima per JoJo Rabbit - Fumettologica
Recensione del film Jojo Rabbit, di Taika Waititi, tratto dal libro Il cielo in gabbia di Christine Leunens. Strano, fuori dalle righe, visivamente potente.
In un angolo di Shinjuku, a Tokyo, c'è un cimitero smart con tanti piccoli Buddah multimediali e colorati, o qualcosa del genere. Sono attratto più che altro dal fatto che in inglese esista la parola "colombarium".
Money quote: "The outside of the octagonal Ruriden columbarium mimics a traditional Buddhist burial building with heavy wooden doors and curving eaves, which belies its digital innards. It’s home to 2,046 small altars, each with a drawer holding the ashes of the deceased atop which seems to float a crystal Buddha.
People can use a smart card, which grants access to the building and lights up the deceased’s corresponding statue, to visit their lost loved ones."

I've toyed with the idea of turning this site into a book, but the thought of the amount of editing it would take quickly dampened my enthusiasm. Yet, these web pages have a long history."

Money quote: "Dear strategy gamers, I want to tell you about a little diamond in the rough I came across the other day. Its name is Rule the Waves, and you should be playing it.
Naval Warfare Simulations, the creators of Rule the Waves, describe it as “a game of naval ship design and combat at the birth of the 20th century.” But that really doesn’t do it justice. If you really want to get the flavor of what Rule the Waves does, think of it instead as Armageddon Simulator."

Money quote: "The bad news, which went unstated, was that I had unknowingly stumbled into a nationwide web of deception that appeared to span eight cities and nearly 100 property listings—an undetected scam created by some person or organization that had figured out just how easy it is to exploit Airbnb’s poorly written rules in order to collect thousands of dollars through phony listings, fake reviews, and, when necessary, intimidation. Considering Airbnb’s lax enforcement of its own policies, who could blame the scammers for taking advantage of the new world of short-term rental platforms? They had every reason to believe they could do so with impunity."

Comincio a non vedere più l'utilità di connettere tutto a tutti i costi. Compresa la pallina che alcune persone si portano in giro infilata nel didietro per il piacere di coppia. Perché se uno fa questa scelta - che non condivido ma considero lecita - e poi compra un "buttplug" connesso in rete, non è che ci si può lamentare se te lo hackerano e te lo weaponizzano.
Money quote: "When most people think of the Internet of Things (IoT), they think about light switches, voice controllers, and doorbell cameras. But over the past several years, another class of devices has also gained connectivity—those used for sexual pleasure. One such device, the Lovense Hush, advertised as the “world’s first teledildonic buttplug,” became the subject of a Sunday morning DEF CON talk this year after a hacker named “smea” managed to exploit not only the device and its associated computer dongle, but software used with it for social interaction (read: people remotely playing with each other’s buttplugs)."
