The leader of the KKK said he would vote for a black man over a white woman. Sexism has always trumped racism.

Sure, you don’t actually own it. The words you strung together are not actually yours nor is the grammar you strung it together with. The knowledge you used to create it is also not yours.

The only way to ensure no one reads, borrows, or “steals” your work is to never share it with anyone and certainly never put it on the Internet.

The only way to ensure it is truly yours is to never have participated in society, invent your own language, and of course hide it from ever being discovered.

This is the only real way. You need to create in a vacuum and lock it up so no one will ever find it. Then and only then can it truly be yours.

This is the way. This technology is too critical to our future to leave in the hands of the private sector at this point.

Yeah, like I was saying. You have to do it the way they want rather than just click on it like every other GUI.

One thing I really did like was the use of the drop down menu. I really appreciate all programs using the same basic interface.

I absolutely hated all the Microsoft Ribbon bar nonsense. They have reinvented it so many times you never know where to find anything.

Well that was not the case with the last time I used OSX. You click on finder and it would not open a second window. This is not how Windows or Gnome/Kwin work.

I hear you. I have always been a power user so I was pretty shocked when you could not open two file managers at once in OSX.

The thing about Apple devices is they work great, as long as you do it they way they want.

That did not address or refute any of my points. Have a good day sir.

For real, all those guys were always cutthroats. How do you think they dominated the markets? It was not because they shared and encouraged competition. No, they stole, lied, and cheated their way to the top.

Man you have a hard on for corporations. It’s like you believe life can only exist if it sucks corporate cock. At the beginning of last century 90% of Americans were self-employed. What you say about everyone working together to produce lumber is not even far fetched. It actually happened.

Technology has been heading towards micronization for awhile now. 3d printing of not only houses but also drugs. We have the technology already to move away from the too big to fail strategy life has become. Small design labs producing the products people need without the enormous waste and pollution.

Your large scale production mindset is not sustainable nor is it the future.

What in the hell are people with brain implants going to do when they stop supporting their hardware or keep additional features behind a paywall. People would be forced to pay whatever the company wanted.

This is ripe for human rights abuse on a level we have never seen before. Imagine being locked out of your own body. Without important safety guards and laws to protect people it would surely cause untold suffering.

I live in Alaska and have a friend with a mill that’s just a few circular saws and a chainsaw. He makes great rough cut lumber.

You really need to start thinking for yourself and stop believing all the garbage you have been fed.

You probably should never use a Mac then.

I setup a Plex server to stream media to my mobile phone anywhere in the world. It took me ten minutes of mostly pointing and clicking to setup. Please tell me how hard Internets are…

There is so much wrong with how you think. First of all why does Grandma want 11 million views!? I mean really do you even listen to yourself.

The answer to your question would be a protocol like BitTorrent. The more people who watch a clip the more distributed bandwidth would be available.

We have already passed the tipping point where creators are now paying more for their media to be consumed than they are getting paid. Where do you think this is heading? Do you want a future of YouTube enshitification!?

Your inability to see the Internet as a distributed resource is astounding considering it’s purpose. I will repeat what I said before there is no reason social media can’t be done without the corporations controlling everything.

You can easily host your own videos, if everyone did and we used advanced sharing protocols the load can be distributed. The more people watching the more bandwidth.

You have become brainwashed into believing only YouTube can exist. You have bought into it so bad you think someone who wants your rights and privacy protected is a free loader.

We can do at all without them. There is something wrong and perverse about a single entity controlling that much of our culture. Too big to fail you say, I say too big to care about what really matters.

I deny your economic reality. There is no reason social media needs to charge. It can be run purely on volunteers and donations. It may not be able to be as big as FB but that is okay. We don’t need giant multimedia companies running social media anyways.

We need strong privacy protections for everyone, not just paying customers. It is time to put an end to targeted advertising.

A privacy law that only works for paying customers? I think we can do far better than that.

There are plenty of judges without this conflict of interest available. They recuse themselves because ethically it is what is right. There is no shame, it is normal procedure.

A judge who has a large investment should not rule on a case that they have a financial interest in. Even if you believe they could remain impartial it breeds distrust in the process.

So you are arguing they should prove 100% that their claim is true but that is not how it works. Corruption is a real issue and your hand waving isn’t making it go away.

Let me get this straight, just because they could stand to gain financially does not mean they should recuse themselves. Furthermore we have to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt decision X results is Y extra money to satisfy you.

If you move the goalpost past Jupiter I guess there is no corruption at all. Keep moving along nothing to see here…

Keep saying that when a big corporation takes your work for theirs and then sues you.

We have already past the tipping point where content creators are now paying more for their work to be heard then getting paid for their work.

Corporations are controlling our very culture with the framework that makes you feel like you have rights. There is a major disconnect here.
