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

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!

huh, thanks for sharing! i learned something!

i think demon every time i read demonym and i’ll never not see it

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.

yeah, that’s true, i guess what makes it a bit off is i’m accustomed to hearing awful things about the US.

yeah fair point, do you think it would make sense to say that some have knowledge of it besides academics & people in think tanks? like politicians i guess

Hm, I think the kinds or categories of differences might be significant. Enough for legislators and policy makers, and I think enough for residents of different countries to get some perspective. If there’s no context or the context is not well understood, how would one know if things can get better or worse in a meaningful way?

Ah ty, I’m learning spanish, is it supposed to be like the word “estadonidense”? i’m learning spanish from south america if that means anything in like word usage

That’s fair. Don’t you think the main point still stands? The US is abysmal for healthcare and is comparable to a much poorer nation which it embargoes?

Hey what is EEUU? I’m getting blanks on my search.

EDIT: It means amerika

Hi, could you touch on why F-Droid is less safe? Is it because they package (I think that’s the term?) stuff themselves?

I think they wanted to be, they were advertising themselves!

I have a newer Redmi Phone and I can install an app at least twice. There’s the ‘second space’ as well which is like having a cordoned off user. I use a different fingerprint or PIN and it takes me there.
