do you know if gifs work on medium, and if they do, can you make them so they don't play unless you mouseover? asking for a friend because that would be useful for making short gif stories, evil guide dog style. the infiniteloop gif doesn't work so well for those

let's do a podcast. half an hour each week knocking a hot button issue back and forth, taking thought by the ear and leading it. just spitballing but some ideas for topics: airline food, black/white ppl:differences, men/women:differences, ppl looking at their phones all the time, apple watch, ariana grande
― Roberto Spiralli, Thursday, 9 July 2015 14:04 (eight years ago) link
podcast idea: some ppl reading and reacting to their twitter feeds real time

i dislike the writer evgeny morozov. his opinions and writing all have this soggy hemming and hawing quality, and are never cool or controversial enough, kinda just sappy cliches about the internet. also imo if you're gonna be a pessimist go full dour & apocalyptic, his negativity is just so half-assed and unconvincing. like these are opinions expressed in that interview
-we probably can't use facial recognition software to tell if politicians are lying?
-a fork that tells you that you're eating too fast doesn't solve the problem that you don't live near a farmer's market [WTF?]
-instead of downloading freedom he bought a safe and locked his modem in it
-designers are trying to hide the fact that electric cords on stand-by use electricity by not programming them to wriggle in semblance of pain
also didn't this guy get slammed for plagiarizing recently? why does he still get interviewed
joe would be a much better tech prophet IMO
― flopson, Thursday, 13 August 2015 16:18 (eight years ago) link
haha i just read another interview from a few years ago on gawker and look at this
"the Internet"—I find this concept so sickening and suffocating that I use it in scare quotes throughout the book
― flopson, Thursday, 13 August 2015 16:22 (eight years ago) link
from the same interview. apparently we already have the technology of the movie minority report available to us but wait a second wouldn't eliminating crime actually be a bad thing because the fact that crimes are allowed to happen (wtf???) lets us have discussions(???)
We have the means to predict crime—with "big data" and smart algorithms—and prevent it from happening, ergo eliminating crime is a problem worth solving.But is eliminating crime really a project worth pursuing? Don't we need to be able to break laws in order to revise them? Once crimes are committed, cases reach the courts, generate debate in the media, and so forth—the very fact that crimes are allowed to happen allows us to revise the norms in question. So the inefficiency of the system—the fact that the crime rate is not zero—-is what saves us from the tyranny of conservatism and complacency that might be the outcome if we delegate crime prevention to algorithms and databases.
