Bye!

Sees something a capitalist regime does under capitalism, start talking about communism. 🤣

I’m not mixing anything up. You just wrote meaningless word salad. This is just a ridiculous comment.

In the West, we’re told our system is superior even if it fails to deliver any tangible progress, because we have free speech and privacy. Yet, while people in China flourish as our standard of living continues to decline, turns out the whole free speech argument was hollow all along. Irony, anyone?

Meanwhile, United Nations Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese:

“What is happening in Germany is not normal.”

“The more I hear, the more I’m shocked. This is a country that has lectured the Global South on fundamental freedoms—freedom of assembly, freedom of opinion.”

“What are Germans waiting for to say: enough!”

naturally, although the video just does it using a rom

Hope y’all remember how we had the propaganda blitz about the made up social credit system in China that everybody in the west was freaking out about. Well, now we can see what that actually looks like in real life.

😆

i kind of see this as a form of artistic expression.

it’s purely to see if it can be done

Why does there need to be a point to it all. We exist, and we can set our own goals and create our own purpose in life. That’s what self determination is. Personally, I find happiness in doing things that I find meaningful or interesting.

For sure, these kinds of discussions can be really fun because everybody tens to have a slightly different interpretation of the content, or focus on different aspects of it. By talking with each other, you get a more complete shared understanding.

All kinds of random aches that just just become the new normal.

Perhaps an obvious one, but reading books and other types of long form content does wonders for your ability to concentrate and stimulates your reasoning ability.

a glitch where we had our ad team write the marketing material and setup a call center that would process these policies on the backend and training the backend call center staff to process these policies and built out backend systems to store and process said policies and a mechanism to push ads to the car. Besides all the a total glitch

A device I’d really like to have would be something like a phone but would replace the need for having any cloud services. Imagine if it had a really large drive where you could just keep all your media, and if it had an API that’s something along the lines of NextCloud where it could expose calendar, contacts, email, music streaming, photo gallery, video streaming, etc. that your other devices could connect to.

Since you carry your phone around everywhere anyways, there would no longer be any need to have cloud services because their whole raison d’etre is to act as a central server that allows you to sync data across different devices. If you just carry the server on you, that problem goes away entirely.

You could also have a dock with a backup drive where it would just automatically sync when you plug it in at the end of the day. This way if the drive died on it, you’d always have a backup ready that you could swap in.

Another neat thing you could do would be to have a dock in a shape of a laptop with a big screen, keyboard, maybe faster CPU, more RAM, a good video card. This way you wouldn’t need a separate laptop, you could just plug your phone in the dock and voila.

This approach would result in way better privacy because all your data would always be on you as opposed to some server somewhere. It would also be way more reliable since you wouldn’t have to worry about network connectivity. You’d still need some external services like a mail server, but these would just be endpoints you use for communication.

Would be between Vijay Prashad and Michael Parenti for living people.

It will be a dark day indeed when I allow my TV to connect to the internet. These things are glorified monitors.

Yeah, Signal is more than encrypted messaging it’s a metadata harvesting platform. It collects phone numbers of its users, which can be used to identify people making it a data collection tool that resides on a central server in the US. By cross-referencing these identities with data from other companies like Google or Meta, the government can create a comprehensive picture of people’s connections and affiliations.

This allows identifying people of interest and building detailed graphs of their relationships. Signal may seem like an innocuous messaging app on the surface, but it cold easily play a crucial role in government data collection efforts.

Also worth of note that it was originally funded by CIA cutout Open Technology Fund, part of Radio Free Asia. Its Chairwoman is Katherine Maher, who worked for NDI/NED: regime-change groups, and a member of Atlantic Council, WEF, US State Department Foreign Affairs Policy Board etc.
