The Internet was designed for decentralized services.

Personal computers were designed for running things locally and get away from mainframes their terminals.

Laws were designed to prevent monopolies.

Fast forward 30–40 years and we now have like two mainframe rental providers used by essentially everyone: individuals, companies of all sizes, the military, governments.

And of course instead of breaking this shit up we’re stuffing this dependency into every last device remotely possible.

So like all problems this is a social problem, and social problems are political problems: if we don’t forcibly break the fucking giant corporations up this will only get worse.

Outdoors rain gauge says we are approaching 0.6 inches since this storm started. Outperforming everyone else, it seems. #rain #CAwx #VenturaCounty #ConejoValley

Most crypto and AI ads avoided mentioning their industries at all, instead telling voters what they thought they’d want to hear. One “AI safety” PAC network ran “remove the illegals, seal the border” ads for a Republican and “overhaul ICE” ads for a Democrat a few hours away.

Le PCF s'est saisi des moyens de productions (une machine hébergée chez Octopuce). Idem pour LO (machine hébergée chez OVH). Sans IPv6 dans les 2 cas. Bouuuuuh. Ah pour bouffer des saucisses et parader au château y a du monde. Pour être à l'avant-garde, y a moins de monde 😬

Les 2 NPA sont chez Gandi (les scissions des trotskistes ne sont pas totalement complètes, ils ont des bases pour discuter). Comme LFI.

Le RN est chez OVH 😬😬

LR sont chez une boîte à la con (Hornet Security, un machin de Proofpoint. C'est peut-être du O365 derrière)

@dangillmor can we call it highly sophisticated Nation State incompetence?

Crypto and AI super PACs spent $250 million on the midterms. In the races where their money could actually make a difference, nearly two-thirds of it backed candidates who lost.

You wouldn’t know it from what the industries are saying. New issue: https://www.citationneeded.news/crypto-ai-lost-the-midterms/
