Further segue of federal (people’s taxes) funds to private equity (prison industrial complex). Your bath should feel like a jacuzzi by now.

@SuperDicq @sun
>Like I don't know what the fuck lawmakers are smoking honestly. If you take a copyrighted work and digest it through a neural network that (makes it) a derivative work.
Are lawmakers actually considering allowing theft(*)? The micros(ha)ft-sponsored Open Source Initiative (#OSI) are #openwashing the theft, so its not as crazy a question as it sounds. thankfully there are people documenting the crime^ albeit with soft language.
People who resist have also liked Digital Feudalism Counter Action firewall for linux (#iptables).
* theft perpetrated by their state-sponsored corporate sponsors (EDIT: yes there is a circular element to the money laundering :epstein:). Aside from the theft of intellectual property from the internet, all "ai" systems are served by the corporate state right now. That's goog, micros(ha)ft, scamazon, clodflare, falsebook, I've not seen a SINGLE one that isn't designed to invade a person's privacy on behalf of the digital slavers. Every time u use an "ai" system u are giving the #corporateState irrevocable power and control over u, your thought processes, and all the people u love and who love u.... well done
^ Why ‘open’ AI systems are actually closed, and why this matters (D.Widder et al, 5 December 2024)
@Nudhul @sun yeah #ChrisHedges does some pretty good work, he's actually a minister, went to a divinity school iirc. is a shame he left RT in feb2024 but is sorta understandable, but he moved to some nasty places designed to mass surveil everyone and i had to stop following.
also its a shame that mike papantino(?), a lawyer, left RT too. he would do a lot of reporting on bigpharma, wall street, policy amkers and bigtech (basically the corporate state as chris hedges calls them). He'd report on how they were being criminal and criminally negligent etc. i think they stopped airing during covid, which is a bit suss when i think about it.
theres good ppl in all these professions but theyre choked out, i'd argue by people who are really just very good at corrupting others, call it the #corporateState , the money ststem etc
MINI RANT TIME.... #openSource is the hashtag to use when bending over and want to serve the #corporateState.... it could probably be labelled, #openWide or #openSeason, take ur pick.
#FOSS is the hashtag to use when you care about #freedom. Some other good ones are #Libre and #copyleft
#github is the microshaft platform to use when u want OpenSeason on ur software. If yuo do FOSS on #griftHub ur work will be stolen by #microshaft and handed over to the corporates, using the excuse, "the 'AI' stole it".
If u are using GriftHub, u are part of the problem, either due to ur #ignorance, or malevolence. This includes the #bitcoin ppl.
Gitlab is also quite nasty as it requires javascript to browse a repository, and its official service (gitlab.com) is via cloudflare, Avoid using for anything other than backup/#collateralFreedom.
Please look in #forgejo and #forgeFed and other types of forges /END RANT
Crowdstrike.... the attack is sorta in the name.
No, switching to linux does not make a person immune from the stupid idea of giving a too-big-to-exist corporation full access to your system.
here is #crowdStrike 's top shareholders:
1. #vanguard (6.9%) $5.1billion
2. #blackrock (4.7%) $3.4billion
3. jennison associates LLC (2.2%) $1.6billion
4. state street global advisors (2.0%) $1.5billion
5. invesco (1.9%) $1.7billion
6. geode (1.6%) $1.2billion
7. t-row price (1.5%) $1.1billion
8. fidelity (1.3%) $970M
9. #jpmorgan (1.3%) $950M
100. jane street capital LLC (1.2%) $870M
....its almost a $100billion dollar company. this is the moment when a real investigative journalist would ask questions.

The real kicker for every person in #Australia who values their basic #privacy (ie. hiding their #IPAddress with #TorBrowser) is #MyGov is decrypted by #Akamai.
Yes, a US multinational (spin-off of #Microsoft during the 1990s) is a Man-in-the-middle-attack-(#MITM)-as-a-Service, between you and intimate #health and #employment services.
Oh and prior to the #covidCrisis the #landRegistries in most states were #privatised.
Welcome to dystopia.

We're being forced offline on 8 Oct, some things have not sat right for us and must be aired.
We believe the way #climateJusticeSocial goes on about #climate while near totally neglecting all other #environmentalism makes it an #astroturf instance. We could be wrong but we actually believe the owner is false, possibly with ties to #corporateState for surveillance rather than resistance.
They began treating us with clear neglect. No reason. We concluded #controlledOpposition shortly after.
Bot farms are so effective at crushing small instances and at the same time elevating #corporateState narratives.
Taking this moment to thank #Mastodon Devs.
The #ExploreTimeline really helps #bots shine.
The one type of website missing on the #I2P network is a #weather website.
In #Australia, the #BOM is served by a #techGiant that is in the business of collecting people's data. They aggressively block people who use #TorBrowser.
Can I2P come to the rescue?

Good suggestion, there.
We say I2P support is most essential. No matter where you sit on the political isle. If your ideas are great, the #corporateState will seek to shut you down, even so they can claim ideas as their own.
@strypey @nonlinear
Facebook suppress antiwar folk, shadowban mercilessly anyone that speaks effectively against #corporateState. They allows the indoctrination of 10s of thousands into nazism. They engineer consent, extremism, and sell falsehoods.
There's nothing good about them, #xurdsite included. That is what they are *designed* for. We must replace them, and surveillance systems that claim to solve DDOS by extorting people aka #protectionRacket.
@nick
Yes, 'nurturing' such sustainably-minded folk as opposed to active and constant repression, would be a step in the right direction.
Not sure the #corporateState would allow genuine culture to grow. Much better to feed people false culture on television, fakebook platforms etc.
@steven
Apologies for not being online.
Money is a value system, is always relevant, though not a panacea and each town is different.
In terms of allocating #resources value, govt have served #propertyDevelopers interests and drained resources from local and #regenerativeAg, which helps solve other problems.
We're happy you mention "where people want to live/work". The #corporateState directs a narrative and value system here, its upsidedown and serves an '#extractive' class.

@Yostme
The best technologies encode the laws into them such that a person need not lobby the unaccountable #corporateState.
The best examples of this come from the #cypherpunks with their motto, "cypherpunks write code". Meaning that they don't lobb, they #code.
As a result we have incredible technologies that are designed in spite of corporate state overreach, like #bitcoin, monero and #I2P.

It is not controversial to say that we cannot afford 80M #unwantedBirths. We should be wanted. Likewise, we should not be making bombs with the cynical intent of using them, incl. to reduce #population and create #refugees.
No matter *how* much the #corporateState of any country demand "more people".

In economics, #productivity is end products achieved per time worked. So it is argued that one can enjoy more time *away* from work by being more "#productive". For example, by having nice FOS applications that help to get things done in less time.
In reality since the onset on #corporateState neoliberalism circa 1970. All gains in productivity have not translated to less time worked, and instead have gone to more waste.
So we are right to be wary of calls to boost "productivity".
@sl007
Wikipedia is become a weapon against the people.
They remove artwork based on #politics of artist. We later were tipped of that the person involved in that is racist and homophobic. We have seen #Wikipedia mischaracterise pivotal moments we lived through in #Australia.
Wikipedia is a #colonialist and #imperialist project, of the #corporateState.
We say don't bother giving it your precious time, Sebastian.
