@JuanWild Well, they have been lobbying for it. And there are deeper returns for both the government and big tech, which work hand in hand more and more (see the stuff on FISA). https://knowprose.com/2024/04/24/beyond-tiktok-maybe-being-banned/

@foone In? I was there in the 80s. I never heard someone say that everyone would have computers IN them. 👀 I'd remember that. In the 70s we had the bionic man but no AI in him. The 80s gave us #AI KIT and an actor only really famous in Germany... 😂

@matthew @OpenComputeDesign I have a 110V kettle that works well. The people upstairs might be upset if I started a fire. 👀

@stux yeah. The WordPress connect took some getting used to. It presents a new potential problem in November, when I may be moving my sites from WordPress.com.

@stux I'm looking into a potential change of cms too, though it seems less likely. WordPress does one thing well.In playing with #drupal 10 on a local... Well, I have a tendency to make my life complicated without good reason sometimes. 😂

@stux yeah, some hosts, like hostinger, offer to handle migrations.The key here is I want control of my stuff. Automattic blindsided a lot of WordPress.com and Tumbler users by selling information to OpenAI and midjourney.https://knowprose.com/2024/03/10/wordpress-com-tumblr-to-sell-information-for-ai-training-what-you-can-do/

@ajroach42 Remember browsing? You could walk into a bookstore and just browse? People don't do that enough. Algorithms feed them based on what they liked in the past, not what they like in the future. That's the key issue with algorithms. Ever get weird recommendations on Amazon? There ya go. But walk into a bookstore, or a hardware (for me), and... there it is. We look for answers all the time, and miss all sorts of fun questions we should answer when we don't browse.

@aral I don't know that he's a Zionist, but here's what I do know. (1) Palestinians don't have a fiscal lobby of note, whereas Israelis do. (2) Campaign donations are considered 'free speech'. 👀 (3) No one seems have demanded that Democrats 'divest'. In fact, quite the opposite, they'll crawl out of the woodwork and tell you, "If Trump wins..."If the campaign is about fear, we're seeing Hillary all over again. Fleetingly.

"This planet has – or had – a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper which were unhappy." - - #DouglasAdams#quote #consumerism #humor

@aral Seems like we need to write a playbook for that.

@aral it looks like it is time to dump Firefox. It has been in my periphery for some time.
