We were making a big fuss back then. We also made a big fuss about Gitmo.
Nobody cared.
They do feel their existence is threatened since NATO expended to the east in 1999.
You’ve got to be quite the masochist to still use google for search.
I don’t see a scenario where google or the likes would be allowed to fail. So moot point.
Hypothetically it would open a window for open source services to sneak in.
Middle term? The phasing out of personal computers, and moving toward a system of servers/terminals where noone owns software.
You’ll rent computing power or storage space, you’ll only pay for the interface.
10 years limit, absolutely non transferable, limited to human beings (not abstract legal entities) .
Eventually extendable to lifetime of the creator if the work is still being developed, to prevent being usurped by copycats.
I also believe that facilitating voluntary sponsorship (a la patreon, but without letting 10% get siphoned by leeches) is preferable to selling works. Especially since distribution is now pretty much free.
I can think of a way to help with the problem, but I don’t know how hard it would be to implement.
Create some sort of trust score, where instance owners rate other instances they federate with.
Then the score gets shared in the network. Like some sort of federated whitelisting.
You would have to be prudent a first, but not do the whole task yourself.
You could even add an “adventurousness” slider, to widen or restrict the network based on this score.
Hello. The post you mentioned was made as a warning, to prove a point. That the fediverse is currently extremely vulnerable to bots.
user ‘alert’, made the post then upvoted with his bots. To prove how easy it was to manipulate traffic, even without funding.
see:

It’s proof that anyone could easily manipulate content unless instance owners take the bot issue seriously.
I’m still angry about it.
dude, it’s important.
Red herring to distract from the less obvious bots maybe?
Or trying at different levels of effort simultaneously.

Hm. It’s a start I guess.
A few persons control a large amount of bots. They can manipulate upvotes, downvotes. Silence opinions they don’t like, boost the ones they support. They can flood everyone’s feed with whatever topic they like. They get to choose what is important, what people get to think about. They can harass any single user, by downvoting posts or being generally unpleasant all the time, and giving the impression that the community agrees. They can create a fake impression of consensus on any given topic.
Now that bots basically pass the Turing test, they can get you to almost never interact with a real person, but instead with machines who never actual learn, listen or change their mind. That sort of thing could erode anyone’s opinion of their fellow humans. That could make one think that there’s no possibility of common grounds with their adversaries.
Don’t underestimate the bots, they’re responsible for most of the political turmoil of the last decade.
I don’t know, Empress comes with her own theme songs, long winded bizarre philosophical rants, beautifully ornamented nfo, and pointless drama with repackers. If that’s a cover up persona, they did a hell of a thorough job.
I feel like knowing anything about that guy makes my life worse.
I think it’s a survival reflex. People pick up on popular trends, and follow them so they don’t get lynched. It’s hard to unlearn this kind of conditioning, even if you move to a relatively safe environment.
It was murder. He stood against the hoarders, and they got his head.
