With the news of the secret $100 million investment in Bluesky by Bain, I keep thinking about protocols.
Maybe the perceived "drawbacks" of #ActivityPub are ultimately strengths?
#ATproto handles identity in a way that allows a single sign-in across apps. But wouldn't this make it easier to profile you? Is this why crypto VCs are so attracted to it?
And ATproto has funding in the 100s of millions by VCs but at some point they'll want to turn a profit. There is ZERO pressure here to ensh*tt*fy
Bernie Sanders just created a video to make a point about issues of privacy in AI (a real problem). His supporters on Muskrat's platform came for me when I quote tweeted his post saying, "at this point, Bernie’s job seems to be lobbying for Anthropic."
So I'm going to elaborate on the corporate psyop that has been happening since the beginning of time and how no one seems to learn their lesson.
@Em0nM4stodon In the US, we need to fight against KOSA, which is advancing in our legislature.
The Kids Online Safety Act Will Make the Internet Worse for Everyone
This bill won’t bother big tech. Large companies will be able to manage this regulation, which is why Apple and X have agreed to support it. In fact, X helped negotiate the text of the last version of this bill we saw. Meanwhile, those companies’ smaller competitors will be left scrambling to comply. Under KOSA, a small platform hosting mental health discussion boards will be just as vulnerable as Meta or TikTok—but much less able to defend itself.

Lawmakers who support KOSA today are choosing to trust the current administration, and future administrations, to define what youth—and to some degree, all of us—should be allowed to read online. KOSA will not make kids safer. It will make the internet more dangerous for anyone who relies on it to learn, connect, or speak freely. Lawmakers should reject it, and fast.
Like there's an argument for being comfortable in your body, but what kind of headspace gives rise to the want to discover/invent and hone a body swap ability? I can only guess that it would be intense dislike for their own skin or the limitations thereof.
Maybe the Ginyu we see *is* his most ideal self by the time we meet him in the show, in which case I apologize, I was not familiar with your game.
