@anderspuck computers :-) good excuse to drop a short 😉

@AstaMcCarthy @Dylan there's a reason for the Double Speek strategy of claiming a "left bias" in public media, it distracts from the fact that news/politics are dominated by Ayn Rand stans, the directors are all lining their pockets and are all linked to right wing parties or are at the right of a centralist party.

@AstaMcCarthy @Dylan same problem in the UK with the BBC who've been lead by rightwingers since Thatcher's time, only it went off a cliff in 2010 when they put the right nutjobs in charge.

@AstaMcCarthy @Dylan it's caused by the fact that the NPO is lead by the right and the global right - are pushing hard for Twitter.

@cwebber people think it's decentralised and federated? O_O first time I've heard either of those things.

@Migueldeicaza @davew it's something a start-up needs to take on.. but monetization makes everything suck.
or something for a Signal Foundation style structure.. but then how do you get enough funding?

@Migueldeicaza @davew I've spent a bit of time looking at this in the decentralised semantics / trust-over-ip communities. there are some very interesting ideas but I miss the will (and ability) to get it done. one of the things I was working on (and still loosely follow) is a kind of privacy control plane over data (bases, S3, etc)..
