Monkey With A Shell

A vote is a vote, but that’s not the solution I spoke of. Rather than trying to push people to disengage or vote 3rd party, neither of which will make any meaningful difference to the situation (even in the million to one chance some 3rd party did get elected, they’re a politician and will do politician things), why not take the situation into your own hands and create the company run by someone who won’t behave like a capitalist?

Create the next Google, but you can be the one who really follows the “don’t be evil” mantra and in the process usurp the throne from the capitalists who have gone wrong. Once that is done you have the ability to simply hand the reigns over to anyone working there and walk away knowing the problem of that particular market is now solved.

The amusing thing about the people who complain that capitalists are the root of all problems, they don’t make an effort to correct it.

Take the situation of this story. If your ideals are pure and would have the popular support of a critical mass of people, there is absolutely not one thing preventing the establishment of a company, chartered as a public good corporation, and ran as a non-profit entity to provide these kind of material goods for people at cost, or if someone is willing to subsidise the production even less so if you like. You could even get the seed money from a crowd sourced campaign, or so called ‘angel investors’ no strings attached, no ownership stakes to distribute.

The things they promise to do like segmentation and 2FA should very well have been in place for the most part already. Sounds like a lot of ‘just try harder’ to me

I haven’t particularly looked for one recently, but you could accommodate a lot of that with a simple mouse that uses standard AA batteries. Nice to be able to swap without it having to be some special type, but he one I had was some cheap thing that broke quick.

For those willing to do a bit of CLI work there are even tools to pull your whole library automagically. Just make sure you got the space for it. Sitting at just over 1.5 TB here.

There are some use cases other than web page compatibility. One for me is in dealing with firewall and proxy policy, if the agent is a browser and comes in on specified explicit ports then force authentication, things of that nature.

People have done that for ages. Pic taken of the screen with another device, try and block that now. Basic rule, if you send it out assume it’s no longer private.

Oh come on, you think some would do that? Go in the internet and tell lies?

I mean it is or at least should be a policy on most sites already, it’ll be nice to have some teeth beyond banning their accounts though.

The only one of those I do is for the grocery shop, and frankly I’m not even sure why since it doesn’t do much. They give me a couple bucks off and a gas discount but only at one shop I’m pretty sure inflates the standard price to accommodate it. Never sent an email or a text bugging to come buy anything though and it’s only based on my phone number and could even be an anonymous paper card with no sign up, but no gas discount for the card since it uses the phone number to activate that at the pump.

A nickle off a soda is far from the cost to get your app on my phone.

Also a nice tool, but not nearly as convenient if you want to just pull a quick test from a phone for example.

A lovely tool to have on the home net to help confirm things are working as expected.

An interesting idea, but I doubt the TV folks go for it. You would have events taking much longer and need more cameras or crazy distant shots to show the presumed gap they would have. Just be a pain to show.

If they’re already giving exclusive access to Google for search and AI training, my bet is it’s all in a bid for ‘please buy us daddy Google’, and let them handle it from there.

Sounds like no GOG then? If they’re doing DRM free that would seem a natural fit.

That’s my go to for my quick scratch pad notes, generally something I only need for a one time deal.

I use the Bit Warden secure note feature for more permanent things.

If it is a more ongoing documentation deal that needs organization I like Bookstack.

All depends on the purpose one uses it for.

This is the kind of thing they mean when people saying AI needs restraints… /s

After all, they wouldn’t want anyone to call them out on continuing chicanery during such a trivial event as their home country’s presidential election cycle…

Who is surprised here, raise your object manipulation attachment, er, hand…

Yet I see those same posts screen-shot and posted here as though they was reliable news sources.

I know Finland isn’t exactly friendly with Russia, but the fact that you argue this from an instance run by someone a hop and a skip from Moscow is a beautiful irony…

All trolls, no, but given the notorious prevalence of media manipulation seen out of the region it’s a given that some not insignificant portion of the loudest voices are here looking to cause trouble.
