I can't wait for intelligent, and legitimate free market capitalists who understand that markets only function if they have real rules and regulations that apply to all participants to use the technology we have had for four decades or so to enforce the aforesaid regulations. Soon

I recommend switching to Firefox and using the feature to force enable your own choice of font. I cannot fully explain why, and I will not explain why as well as I possibly could either

The archive.is link redirected me to the Russia Today website which is pretty weird but I'm pretty sure it's a sign that copyright is evil because it mostly protects big interests that don't need protecting just like every other law in this fascist reality, for now. How Russia Today is involved...

From the PDF Dang that's kinda... messed up? How can any "legitimate governmental interest" constitute "harm[ing]" any group? That seems like a human rights violation Dang that's kinda... messed up? That seems like a human rights violation Well, unless it is a distinction based on...

Ignoring the massive weight of the literal reality behind the "NFT marketplace" and all else that took place mainly due to suspicious posts on Reddit They could probably do something like partner with Walmart, as much as I hate Walmart. Though for that to have any chance of working, the...

I don't know him (what should be obviously) but I think he would disagree with you on that. He strikes me as a man who truly loves his children

I think of it a bit like the error codes in your PC's diagnostics. There's like a bajillion a minute. Most of them are meaningless, and those who know what they're doing know they are mostly meaningless. And it kind of comes down to "if there's a problem, you probably know" Which is really...

I don't know the specifics of all of this, but am inclined to think it is probably conceptually the same logic as basically all other governing But telecom is one place that is actually a utility which means if we had normal sane government that doesn't do the exact opposite of what a...

I've read a decent amount about Trump and his history. By which I mean - in addition to my generally higher than average ability to figure out "what makes people tick" - I think I have a fair understanding of the type of person he is and was. My first thought about this article was the younger...

I think we all agree Google sucks and should abdicate 3/4 the programs they are in charge of, and return like 90% of the money which is responsible for most or all the inflation the last two decades. It's like all they've been sitting in their offices shitposting how regulations are bad and...

I have recently realized time travel is real and few if any persons ever fully die. Actually it seems the only clear evidence time does not stand still is by keeping score of the battle between the machines and Nature. We're only referees. But like NFL referees. So it's fine if we more or less...

If our financial regulations made sense and the system wasn't intentionally engineered to exploit the same architecture utilized in these events, there would be no problem. Hacked? Cool. Reinstall the OS. Or at worst buy new devices. The important stuff has 2-3 backups as long as the one...

One of the things I think is majorly under-recognized is a lot of "research", particularly that on people and behavioral traits, is garbage nonsense. Like, nearly all of it. Any research done to prove one thing about human behavior could almost as easily be done to prove the exact opposite. It...

I don't agree with him on many things, but this is one I do. Or mostly do. And I kind of explained this in my other comment on this post, and have explained it elsewhere, but the problem is our systems and technology should only ever be used to support or help organize. Never to control or...

It seems it should be possible to use the same method to encrypt the real world identity that belongs to an online identity. If you get really complex, it could probably be done with two (or more!) 'providers' (secret keepers?) who are unable to decrypt the real world identity without the...

If I'm understanding correctly, this means until we look in the tunnel the elephant is both pink and white

I haven't read the full article yet but based on what I have read they need to stop looking at Wikipedia and instead look at tangentially related nonsense like 501c tax fraud advantaged charities and political advocacy organisations and delete that because clearly it is a problem and then log in...

I'm not really a tiktok kinda person, but once the deals finalized it'd be hilarious if tiktok followed in the footstep of bird app bsky.app/profile/skylight.social

I'm not going to bother reading through the comments here to see if this is already mentioned and I assume it will be seen by precisely 1-4 people, but: 1. I have a Samsung TV and phone and tablet. I do not have the tv connected to my internet and it is effectively a dumb tv with factory...

If our government spent money - "invested in" - the people, with things that improve our lives like healthcare, education, affordable housing and transportation, etc... then more of us could build more things and that would mean there's more money! Hell, maybe we could even try something crazy...
