Welp… Thank you… Now, it makes more sense…
I was quite shocked when I got banned there (for a whole year) for a single message in attempt to prove someone a probably unobvious but clear point…
Evidently, the moderation out there is quite… infant, disrespectful, inadequate, or simply… inhuman… to say the least…

Now influence is no longer just about messaging. It is about timing, exposure, and pressure applied to known biological constraints. Steering no longer targets beliefs alone. It targets bodies.

This is no longer mass persuasion. It is individualized behavioral steering. Millions of tailored messages delivered to millions of different nervous systems, each calibrated to exploit specific vulnerabilities. The system does not care what you believe. It cares what moves you.

It measures behavior, response patterns, and susceptibility, then flags what threatens the structure that governs you. Manipulation becomes invisible when it feels like choice. When reflection is bypassed. When belonging is weaponized. When urgency replaces deliberation. When every input is tuned to keep you in fast thinking, emotional response, and group alignment…

Boring is the goal.
The only real question left is not whether humans can be manipulated.
It is who controls the map.

Genius… Freaking magnificent… miraculous work…
Thank you, dear Joshua Wolk, for the lovely miracle…

It’s almost always been so in modern days, and is obvious if only you read news from around the globe and not just yours local.
Judging from my experience traveling around the world, due to the job I have, I must say, sorry, the USA’s social environment system is one of the most manipulative and forceful, and is designed for the mass control to desired destinations.

The Overton window is the range of subjects and arguments politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time. It is also known as the window of discourse. The key to the concept is that the window changes over time; it can shift, shrink, or expand. It exemplifies “the slow evolution of societal values and norms”.

His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

I am… sorry, b-but… may I ask… why are you an… artist…?
What do you want to tell to the world… as an artist…?

Please, at least… check out some actual works of actual digital Artists who believed in the effort, purpose, human… in the message…
For a simple example, from times of .kkrieger, we may sure recall “Candytron” by Farbrausch, that won Best 64k Intro award in 2003:

Do you… hear… or see it… from ~0120 seconds…?: farbrausch_-fr030-candytron.final_hiq(divx511_c.a.p.tv).avi
Please tell… what did the artists want to tell in these seconds?

Oh! Do you recall the OST from video-game Sanctum, and the Boombox at Satisfactory?

Just in case, about the work:

# Hyperion

On the world called Hyperion, beyond the law of the Hegemony of Man, there waits the creature called the Shrike. There are those who worship it. There are those who fear it. And there are those who have vowed to destroy it. In the Valley of the Time Tombs, where huge, brooding structures move backward through time, the Shrike waits for them all.

An ineffablymagnificent masterpiece of a Magazine/Book…
An infinitely miraculous history is there…
Thank you, dear Artists… People…
For the… pure… miracles…

It’s not just superior but mostly… humane… and still much more trusted to invest your finite life time into, I believe…
There’s love, empathy, and reason I feel…

Thank you, heartfelt, dear Lemmy and PieFed Developers, Artists, Community… for the ineffably magnificent Marvel… Art you do…
Please stay safe, and I wish you success, prosperity, achievements to treasure, reach new horizons, stability… and peace…

The macOS version can make stronger guarantees because it can have more complexity. On Linux, the foundation is eBPF, which is powerful but bounded: it has strict limits on storage size and program complexity. Under heavy traffic, cache tables can overflow, which makes it impossible to reliably tie every network packet to a process or a DNS name.
And reconstructing which hostname was originally looked up for a given IP address requires heuristics rather than certainty. The macOS version uses deep packet inspection to do this more reliably.
That’s not an option here.

The above feels like an utter AI slop nonsense, sorry. I believe eBPF, the Linux Kernel feature, is absolutely capable for accuracy and perfect processing of network traffic. Have you ever checked Calico or Cilium, or at least, Oryx?

I see. Thank you!

Did you drew it yourself, just for the comment? If so, you’re awesome! Thank you!

Thank you very much! The article is a great reference to consider and start creating workspaces for teams ready to deal with panic and stay efficient in critical events.

As a reminder, one of the ten levers you can pull to increase psychological safety in your subculture is to provide structure for difficult conversations.

Unstructured hard conversations rely on confidence and power. Structured ones rely on shared tools and expectations.

In the Anxiety Zone, difficult conversations feel personal and unpredictable.

A man can be himself only so long as he is alone; and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom; for it is only when he is alone that he is really free." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

-–

Our language has wisely sensed these two sides of man’s being alone. It has created the word “loneliness” to express the pain of being alone. And it has created the word “solitude” to express the glory of being alone. ~ Paul Tillich

It may be. I also see an issue on their repository about it: https://github.com/chenglou/pretext/issues/106

Oh! It does look like a Psychodidae (aka Drain fly)! ✨

Indeed, hence, “environment”.
