They didn’t just sell you products.
They sold you yourself—scripted, edited, rewired.

From Pavlov’s bell to PR spin, this is the long game of behavioral control.

A Practical #Pimoroni #Presto #Project for media display/control.

I've been working on the code some more and have now got a working Skip button!

Since I turn the backlight off when paused I have also added the option to touch the screen to resume.

and some refactoring has been carried out to make the code a little nicer to look at and tweak later.

It's also more responsive to touch for Pause and Skip.

I will keep testing this whilst I am at work tomorrow and over the weekend.

Hopefully a new blog post next week with the updates.

I've spent the last few hours changing the code on my #Pimoroni #Presto to show what ever is currently playing on my #Manjaro PC.

I have a #flask server running and now I can control the media using the Presto!

Still some tweaks to get it share-ready.

Africa: Hide the Numbers, Control the Message: [IPS] Portland, Usa -- In the past, Shakespeare famously wrote in his play Henry VI that the first step for those seeking power was to "kill off the lawyers". Today, the first step taken by those seeking power is to hide the numbers and control the message. newsfeed.facilit8.network/TL1m #Africa #PowerDynamics #MediaControl #Shakespeare #PoliticalPower

Here’s an interesting piece on the importance local news ecosystem, what happens when it fails and proposals to strengthen it.

> “ INTRODUCTION

> You can’t get more local than Haida Gwaii, the remote archipelago off the coast of northern British Columbia with fewer than 5,000 people scattered among seven communities. When the newspaper covering those communities was gutted by its Black Press owner, a lot more than news disappeared.

> Few ran for local office; the entire council of one local village was acclaimed; a major report on the hazards of a possible tsunami went unreported.

> Even sports programs went unfilled because no one knew about them. In an area with little to no internet connectivity, there was simply no longer any way to, to tell residents what was going on.”

‘The picture, in all its forms, including the film, has better prospects. In a much shorter time, at one stroke I might say, people will understand a pictorial presentation of something which it would take them a long and laborious effort of reading to understand.’

—Mein Kampf, p. 526

Sort of puts the new AmbASSadorships into place, right?
