I think super-apps are the way to go, only way to prevent one company from monopolizing click-stream data for advertising.

some apps already do this and their users don't suffer from the same issue (granted, they have different issues)

huh, yeah that's fair i did not actually notice that :/

fr fr no cap 🧢

I see this online, how true is it though? like do I need a bag of sugar or just a few sprinkles.

It's unfortunate that the solution is as simple as it is and it's not being implemented.

Yeah I guess if I could add free time and money and make it so everyone is happy I would add it.

I guess, so the law at present seems mostly made up. Like, it can't deal with glaring issues without a precedent and what amounts to a long-winded ritual before significant issues are considered.

I guess I don't see why a corp can't be accountable like how some people who commit petty crimes are 'held accountable' (i.e. shot, killed, worked in labour camps).

i think one small addition

1. decrease influence of ~~bribing~~ lobbying

there was an indication 45 would be bad, during his presidency he did a bunch unexpectedly, that means my poor imagination has no clue how awful some of the stuff he implements will be

i'm trying to go to my desk to get started, it's just, there's all these unfinished and poor abandoned projects scattered everywhere...

i'll keep trying though!

yeah this was my kinda sense, why do fans tell me it's simple? i like brandon sandersons system, doubly so because he has like different implementations of the same magic system in different series in the same universe ('cosmere')

yeah i'm rethinking some stuff too, even in some utopia i think some information related to me might make life inconvenient, so the best way to protect that (e.g. not disclosing it digitally) maybe needs outta the box solutions.

related, does anyone even bother to look at physical mail for stuff? like if i put a cipher in a letter with no return address, using that pen ink that you can erase (which comes back if you put it in a freezer) and only i and my contact have the key to the cipher which we exchanged in-person; could anyone reasonably know it?

it seems digital stuff might be a carrot for surveillance people, maybe it can be made into a honeypot and physical or analog means can make a return.
