It’s not business oriented, it provides a unique ID attached to the machine, cryptographically proven.

Next step is to use that unique ID to identify you on the internet and digital life. Ending all privacy.

You think this is far fetched? Kernel-level anti-cheat for games already does this and bans the machine from playing that game ever again.

Thing is, people were saying this about US people since the 80s, that they are functionally illiterate besides their job tasks. Let me guess, you are american…

If you have an asshole that does a bad job for a handyman, you will learn to fear the fixes.

It’s not the regularity that is the problem, is the people delivering the fixes. Change manufacturers and software providers. I promise you there is software that is reliable, doesn’t get worse over time, respects your freedom, and treats you like a human being instead of a conduit from your bank account to theirs.

You can enjoy software and computers actually.

Anybody can use copyrighted works under fair use for research, more so if your LLM model is open source (I would say this fair use should only actually apply if your model is open source…). You are wrong.

We don’t need to break copyright rights that protect us from corporations in this case, or also incidentally protect open source and libre software.

That assumes though that the definition of web browser and its needed stack stays static.

What happens if we all browse the net primarily via VR then? The line is blurry, so is Mozilla org.

They do have active protection; education. Under attack since the dawn of time.

History shows time and time again that collapsing cities/societies/empires cannot be stopped nor redirected with violence. The endemic causes are there, violence may provide a respite but it just accelerates the overall disintegration of the society.

May what is happening to the USA be a wake up call for the rest of the western world.

If you need to exercise your right to bear arms, you have already lost. The battle is won in education, critical skills, and mobilising together (unions, etc).

Thanks for sharing! This is an incredible comparison.

Exactly. All of that things that Germany has, meanwhile Spain is not even a federation. Yet it has the same level or more of autonomy on its regions than a federation.

By name it is not a federation (define federation…) Yet Spanish autonomies enjoy more autonomy than some federal states.

Spanish regions have their own police. These police forces are autonomous from the central ones. https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Policía_autonómica Some even have a specific name: Mossos, Ertzaintza, policia foral, etc…

The Spanish regions have autonomy on both collecting taxes, and assigning their own budgets. They are autonomous in the case of emergencies, healthcare, education (which allows them to set their culture), cultural ministeries, with their own regional bodies that make their own decisions.

All this is more federal than the federal states of Germany.

Being a consitutional monarchy or republic doesn’t have anything to do with federation.

Being a constitutional monarchy instead of a republic just means that they have a predesignated figurehead that represents the country, instead of electing that figurehead. The person is just a figurehead that rubberstamps things, but doesn’t take decisions at all. Be it the king (in a constitutional monarchy like Spain, Norway, UK, Denmark, Sweden, etc) or however you want to call it (in a republic like France, Germany, etc).

The government gets elected.

Spain’s government is more federal than federal governments like the German one. Spain’s Autonomous regions have way more leeway and freedom than regions in federal governments.

Element. If you are missing something, talk to all those motivated people doing Discord bots or whatever, they can contribute to Element/Matrix. And it’s actually open source, they keep their contributions, contrary to all the work they have done for Discord for free.

It’s about search engine squatting, if you now search “Russia meatgrinder” you get that, instead of articles about losing the war.

They never want to create any new government, or anything. Not that they know how.

They just want to destroy. Russian stooges.
