Been in the back of my mind, regarding other things, but the news could use a revitalization locally. If the platform were to attract local muck rakers building communities here, larger networks would have to start to pay attention if for nothing else the competition. But this to would have to be organic to, maybe just the chat section of a new local new org.
Yes, the tshirt tribes will eventually arrive to fight with the pillow tribes. And the process will start anew
Interesting, I had swelling in the knee that would go away for about 9 months. Randomly quite drinking coffee and it was gone in a week
Knowing the way these fucking fucks work it's just lays the groundwork, in the guise of "monitoring"
Do your boobs hang low?
Do the wabble to and fro?
Can you em in a knot?
Can you tie em in a bow?
Anti virus is the NSA, and the VPN is the CIA
I feel compelled to add to the mood
Try turning airplane mode on then off. Its usually a time issue. Your phone will update and sink time zones etc
It's a tough one, as an exemplar of dunning Kruger I poke at it.
First how to claw back from offenders, class action would probably be needed. Goodluck these orgs are intimate with their governing bodies, might makes right and the spoils of this war will only go to the lawyers.

If you want a system of fair "IP" you will have to build and defend it yourself.
Time for federated library's and smart contracts to govern them.
Unfortunately the war machine has already picked up these tools, the fights will be nasty.
I do agree and understand, what is complicated is how to unravel with the least amount of harm and to what end. I do see that bitcoin can reset the time preference horizon of the current system, as well as consolidate technolcal advancements buy incorporating them in to a new system of exchange and storage, but it is just a reset. The emperor has no clothes only because he's putting on new clothes. The kid flipping burgers has not escaped the debt and servitude promised by his ancestors (government). Their entire society and government are the combined result of it, there is no rite or wrong or morality to it. As you say the minimum wage is always 0, so every thing else is just perception, a tool to analyze, measure, manipulate. I dont believe I'm trying to argue just using what you said to ramble myself.

Efforts to impose "living wage" legislation misunderstand that no one is supposed to flip burgers or pump gas or do any other sort of entry level work for a living.

There is a much more complicated relationship going on here than meets the eye though. There is, and always will be, a push pull relationship in any system. Currency debasement and the raising of taxes is just a slight of hand that allows a Solvern to quietly foreclose and renegotiate it's bad debt at your expense, questionably on your behalf. You will pay one way or the outer. There are only two systems, implicit or explicit
