I like to say: It’s not even an illusion. It’s a dillusion.

I don’t know where this is, but I know both Coke and Pepsi don’t like to allow venders to sell both. They have special terms and pricing for exclusive contracts.

They do tend to be more expensive. But not extremely so. Maybe 20-40% more than a consumer equivalent.

I’ve decided my next TV will be a Digital Sinage Display.

Right!?
Does context matter?

I’m literally walking down an isle of a soon to be packed bus, with people infront of and behind me, so we can all get to our cars in a parking lot nearly a mile away. Is it the time for a chat, during the 2.3seconds we have while I’m passing?
Just totally suprised and not at all ready for that.

Some people here already don’t like that they can’t know if something they deleted is gone, or that literally anyone can see anything they do here.

This would just destroy anyone’s concept of data ownership and control. Which I kinda like.

But pire peer-to-peer distributed systems like this, mean you need to locally store everything you may want to see or read, or ever have. Which is not possible for most

Walking down the shuttle bus isle after a 12 hour shift at the hospital, just thinking about getting to my car and driving home

Seated Coworker I’m Passing: “Cool swetshirt”

Me: “Huh? … Yes”

Now I have something new to think about, for the next few weeks

Not the kind if thing you can do with an extension.
Every broker has their own process. Some even require actual physical letters be sent to remove your data.

There are hundreds of those data brokers. And new ones opening as others close every week. Doing it yourself, and keeping up with it on a regular basis? That’s nearly a full time job. Nobody does that.

There are several companies that do this.
Even Mozilla did until this month.

DeleteMe seems not to be the best. They might sell data to places while getting it removed from other places.

I just signed up with Incogni which is one of the biggest.

They have to get to streaming services.
Once there, streaming quality rips are easy to find.
You’re getting it for free, be patient.

Absolutely

And I love that a few people have learned this about me.
One even once told me “Long enough for your earbuds.” It was the best answer I’d ever gotten to that question.

That’s true, I didn’t use the word wrong, I only implied it.
Sorry for the confusion.

Yes that’s all true. But it’s a seperate problem that’s happening anyway, 230 or otherwise.

Yes that’s why repealing is the wrong thing to do.
As I said amend it.

The Fediverse doesn’t have any black box algorithms that recommend content. With the flat repeal of 230 it would be in danger. With my amendment it wouldn’t.

I don’t know it for a fact, I just know it’s true, that Google collects and logs every byte of data that goes through its servers.

I never mentioned repeal and replace.
As I said, don’t repeal it, amend it.

Those who are harmed decide. 230 is about protecting companies from law suits filed by users.

The whole “end of free speech” issue comes not so much from the government sensor really (that’s still firmly restricted by the first amendment) but from companies themselves banning any content or accounts that might get them sued.

But if that risk is limited only to what they recommend outside a user’s direct boolean search and filters, they can still host content without concern. But they need to be sure they know and approve exactly what their algorithms are pushing onto people.

What crisis did capitalism have in the 60s & 70s?
I’ve never heard of that before.

As far as I know that was the best years this country has known. Top tax rates were ~90%. The middle class was larger and more prosperous than anytime before or since. We were making huge strides in science and tech, as well as social progress.

But the greedy NeoLiberals fealt that while things were good and getting better for almost everyone, they were being held back by all the taxes and regulations that helped the unworthy “poors” at their expense.
