Elon Musk is just a hairs breath away from declaring the right to shoot somebody on fifth Avenue it’s a matter of free speech

This act seems particularly insane because North Korea is dependent on the rest of the world to actually feed itself unless somehow they’ve had a miracle and agricultural output,

I haven’t seen a GIS map in ages. Nice, and thank you!

I guess my question is if these outfits store some of the created works that reside on YT. I would argue that retaining everything on YT is a bit crazy. Organisms forget for a reason.

The only problem is the lack of public investment. I’d much prefer to see municipalities provide internet and web hosting services to its residents, then build out parallels to BigPlatform through a fedi model. A fedi ecommerce element doesn’t exist.

For profit platforms end up being little different than the East India company, which was owned by the world’s richest man of his time. We had a party in Boston over it.

Archive has immense storage capacity, but Google’s data centers are much larger.

The world would be better served with archives scattered across the globe which federate. I’ve been drawn to the idea that every municipality should have one more or more archives (tied to libraries), which then federate.

the fundamental protocols of the internet are distributed and decentralized; they were designed to survive nuclear war.

Note that Youtube enacted a policy of deleting very old footage.

The process is already underway.

The one thing I hard disagree with Keen on is the idea that colonizing Mars is a way of preserving human species (in all fairness, is reference to the deadliness of climate change)

Existing there are several orders magnitude of more challenging than + plus the expense and resources.

If we could survive/terraform Mars we could do the same on Earth without blowing trillions carting people and materials to Mars.

@[email protected] Ah the transnationalism of our plutocratic class.

Doncha get warm all over?

I look at any one top or bottom edge and see it’s level… but every thing less is slanted.
Arrrgh and they bobble…
