I trust my neighbour more than I trust Big Tech.With Big Tech we know full well they'll completely legally, ethically and anonymously harvest us, profile us, manipulate us, encircle us and enslave us in their digital slaughter house.
I'll take my chances with 10 million community organizers and the occasionnal small time crook instead of the certainty of a Big Tech Panopticon Mega Dystopia
Yes, that's the sane way to deal about it.How crazy do you have to be to listen to hollywood stories and let strangers into your house.For what, because you think they're cute ? That's just an easy way to take up with a knife in your back.Never. Trust. Anyone. Ever.
I can easily host vaultwarden, trillium, docker-mailserver, jellyfin, borgbackup and syncthing instances for my 5 neighbours. Everyone who's even slightly good with computers can do that for their neighbours. That's what I think when I hear "community". Not online fandoms.
Yes, most sane persons I know have disavowed the entire concept of being with someone else.And archaic leftover of a more dependant age.Now it's just handcuffs with no upsideEnding cheating is as easy as ending "being in a couple"and for people who can imagine life without this crutchit becomes more and more foreign why anyonewould ever accept such an oppressive custom into their household
Capitalism requires scarcity as its engine.When scarcity is threatened, it is called the capitalist dirty word "commodity".It means there is no more profit in that.
It's a startup, the goal is to get people who work for vaporous promises of future wealth
So you squeeze them as hard as you can imagine
then the company collapse and you take their work and sell it to private equity aka "angels"
those users who can’t be bothered to learnsnooty tech elitism
What does “fighting the good fight” even look like to you in this context, anyways?We built the entire infrastucture, we can poison it's business model.
When the first banner ad appeared on the web, the condemnation was not loud enough and it was allowed to fester.At this points these entities have become large enough that the evil practice that could have been snuffed out, is now being accepted.Now every slimey thing on the internet is due for the mother of all crackdowns. Something like the GDPR times 911.
I'm not in the mood for centrist technocratic measured solution at the moment.If it makes more than a million a year and it's using any kind of psychological tactics,that's advertising, sponsored search, dark patterns, then BURN IT ALL DOWN
The tech community is pacified into not taking action against the polluters by our adblockers because we don't see the egregious ads and so we don't fight the good fight for the user.
But what do you do with the methane, can't story it and if you burn it, you release the CO² which was the point of burying fertilizer while it's CO² carbon credit value is less than the price of the fertilizer itself.
It's also precious cheap carbon credit, don't worry it will only increase world wide fertilize costs by the value of the carbon credits but thing of all the methane they can burn to make electricity.
It's like converting our fertilizer directly into electricity, except its carbon sequestered 5000 feet under ground !
Maybe the fertilizer prices will increase so much it will become worththile to dig that 5000 feet mine and get that fertilizer back in the bio carbon cycle in 30 years when fertilizer costs more than aluminium does today !
Yes, burying fertilizer traps biomass CO2 and then they can use that as carbon credit equivalent to claim CO² neutrality.Of course, there's a reason why fertilizer is an inexpensive source of fixated carbon biomass and
this means all fertilizer will increase in price by the amount value of it's CO2 carbon credit equivalent
Then maybe the buried fertilizer will become so valuable that it can be dug out and sold as fertilizer again.
Wo wo wow, is that my man JC Denton ??
