Some weeks ago I was reading Thoreau's "On the Duty of Civil Disobedience" aloud at bed-time to my son, who of course does not understand it but appreciates the sound of the words all the same, when I discovered that its famous title was in fact not the original! The original title was significantly more radical: "Resistance to Civil Government."
It's quite short, and I would encourage everyone here to read (or re-read) it. It is still tremendously relevant. Re-reading it with the original (un-sanitized) title in mind, it lands even harder.
These days, Thoreau would probably get his door kicked in.

that's ridiculous.
it should. those relying on the content production of creators, and never create anything unique or interesting obviously love open roadmaps to stealing and capitalising on the proof of work of others. i operate free&fair_use because there's no other efficient method to efficiently navigate the data theft apparatuses, remain independent, and still be productive. the main reason behind the writer's strike is rooted in this - there's very little efficacy in keeping original pow data private during development in a smart tuned environment anymore. i have built identity from it, but i have made no financial profits; if i ever wanted to publish a unique piece i could use that notoriety to extract actual value from a traditional system - maybe. i have not sold anything or collaborated in any ways which generates actual useful profits. all claims of collaborating are completely bogus and opportunist except for the treehouse and even those are indirect. my time and content is all donated - not because i like the mining community, but because it's the most effective method of navigating wild. if i was not independently wealthy in practical way - my practice as it is currently would not be sustainable.
scraping is data and identity data theft. jargon protects predatory models.
curious what the data discovery is on the businesses employing square and their ratings within the square model? does square run analytics on the integrity of those using their data and financial programs since their models and methods feed the square ecosystem? based on the local use of square, i wonder about how we as consumers trust the businesses using and capturing our data - not just square. there's a lot of bounty activity running around square's safeguards...... maybe the bounty hunters need some validator authentication done on them. it's only fair. and when they dislike it: it might adjust the lens of the "permissionless" discovery absolutists.

until podcasters make public all of the funding and dark money influence driving their interview agendas - i think podcasting should be "flung into the arno".
you just need a good fucking. that will get your amperage right up. 😁
will it connect to the square network, dorsey? 🙂
seriously.
got a loooooong way to go to get the jargon and rhetoric unraveled. because this pos is "designing" ai regulation. if you fucking think calling for regulation will manifest anything useful, waste 10 minutes of your life on this video and get back to me. challenge: i dare you to sit through it, not swear, and not throw your device.
you don't still believe this crap, do you? for a bunch of dissenting agitators nerds, there's a lot of delusional content y'all promote and wax poetic about.
