We need a federated equivalent. Anything centralized can be stopped.

the war they are fighting is against you .

no regrats. I said what I said.

I think you are misunderstanding the point. Swap out 9-11 moment with “watershed moment”.

A drone doesn’t need to be able to carry more than 500-1000g to be an incredibly effective tool of war, and it absolutely was, basically, consumer grade drones that Ukraine used.

And all in all, probably, the whole operation cost less than a single tomahawk cruise missile.

I made this point that the article is making here, a few months ago. The US military industrial complex has completely missed the mark on where modern warfare is going., and the US has spent trillions to build a system that can be challenged for billions.

I think these are going to be far bigger than planned. Trumps lil’ crackdown in LA put a spotlight on it. Trumps obviously in the wrong. I would expect these to be 10-15 x bigger than the hands off protests.

I think we had maybe 2k in Honolulu?

I expect SIGNIFICANTLY more

The wikipedia is already the processed food of more complex topics.

Here I’m DM"ing you something. Its very personal, but I want to share it with you and I made it using Deepsite (in part).

https://tmpweb.net/nmS9uRBAENhQ/

Above is what I can do with deepsite by pasting in the first page of your lemmy profile and the prompt:

“This is double_quack, a lemmy user on Lemmy, a new social media platform. Create a cool profile page in a style that they’ll like based on the front page of their lemmy account (pasted in a ctrl + a, ctrl + c, ctrl + v of your profile).”

It not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but like, its not a bad starting point.

Yeah idk. I did some work with deepseek early on. I wasn’t impressed.

HOWEVER…

Some other things they’ve developed like deepsite, holy shit impressive.

Copyright isn’t, and never has been, about “protecting the artist”.

It was, and is, and has always been, about controlling the means of distribution.

Interestingly, if you look into the lecturerer of that video, they are very active on mastadon.

yeah. it’s mind blowing to me how the Internet was convinced to give up its a culture of piracy and privateering and become sycophants for corporate protection of IP under they imaginary impression that they are “protecting artists”.

There were industry executives and think tanks litterally quoted (in the 2000s) for saying that their job was to effectively convince people that piracy “hurt the artist”, that this was the way to stop piracy: convince people they were hurting artists by piracy.

Turns out, almost no artists except the most extraordinarily successful make any money off copyright or IP. They mostly make their money the way they’ve always made their money: ticket sales, merch sales, performances, etc.
