The bigger story is:

Who are those 343,011 idiots?

As if slavery is a new concept and nobody was warned about huge conglomerates in every science fiction movie.

That’s the problem if you want professional online services. Being the product should be the weird option.

Musk wants to create a super app like WeChat. He needs credit cards first. He is turning Twitter into his old X.

It’s the Apple app ecosystem without people willing to hand over credit card information for iTunes music. Apple won the mobile phone market because they had customers willing to pay for apps.

You look at it backwards. It’s ‘watch ads to avoid paying’.

Paying is the default way to buy something.

Right. That’s why I wrote ‘lists’.

Linux distributions come neither with no programs nor all programs by default.

Let people choose a distribution on sign-up. It’s a bit like choosing an instance but it should be possible to create iconic defaults that make the choice easy.

Check the top hour filter of all instances. That’s where other content surfaces.

There should be default curated lists so that new users don’t have to know the platform before it can be enjoyed.

Well Actually not enough. Debate things till the end and know what is right.

We need some form of wiki to manage those debates so that we only have them once.

Where is the fascism? Should I ignore the reasons for homelessness and pretend that it is a normal state of life? Have I missed the memo where people are voluntarily homeless?

So that’s it.

Here, you are willing to suggest death to resolve conflicts.

There is also this reference:

A Two hustlegrind comment chains comment where you, as I interpret it, reject competition as a tool to prevent market dominating rent seeking.

The upvotes reaffirm you.

From my perspective that’s fundamentally wrong. You are either able to turn everybody into a friend and thus don’t need conflicts, or you manage conflicts by distributing power.

If I don’t see the light and you know how to turn the world into a better place, good luck for your approach.

Prepare another NO U answer. That comment is bullshit unless the Great Egress has actual meaning. In that case, please elaborate. Otherwise try again. How do you want to resolve the surveillance state?

I would like to know how you want to resolve the surveillance state.

Putting me into that clichee of a tech bro as if I don’t care about anything else, how is that not dehumanising?

There are plenty of open issues that you have chosen to ignore while you enjoyed dwelling in insults. I get the hang of it but let’s not pretend that’s me who is dehumanizing.

You used that before. Are you chatgpt? Being ignorant is not an action.

Read the room. It’s me who is upvoting you.

Nobody is following this track because it’s rooted in a big misunderstanding that you are unwilling to let go. The other replies to my comment are far more interesting.

You are the ignorant creep if you think that that quote was my opinion. It’s me putting your words in your mouth. But good to know that you recognize incoherence when you think it’s coming from me.

Yes, that’s you. Maga by spreading empty phrases. The billionaires will pay for dismantling the police state.

Good quotation skills. If only you would care as much as you pretend to do.

You keep insulting me because I mistook you as the very thing you hate the most, a profit seeking hustler. I still think asking about the other 99.9% is difficult to associate with the danger of oppression when the context is recreating the pluralistic internet. But now I know better.

You won’t leave the house because, without tech, the majority of humans will starve to death.

As you wrote in another thread, you want to leave the police surveillance state. It’s a bit late for that, isn’t it?

Instead, you take solace in having put a hustle bro in his place while all you did was showing that small incentives are dangerous because people find a way to hate everything.

By leaving the house… Do you have a plan or are you hoping that things work out because things are not transactional and everything can happen?

I read it in an interview years ago.

The office suits and the browsers are indeed among the apps that were taken over. The money was made by all the other commercial apps, and games.

I should say that I don’t support that abuse of power.
