@wizvii jag tror att för att förstå det här behöver man ta in att det som är relevant för den nuvarande regeringen, det som verkligen styr vad regeringen gör och säger, är inte vad de flesta väljare vill. Det som spelar roll är istället vad SD vill. Det är SD som bestämmer. Regeringen lyder SD.

@samuel bra jobbat!

@jajo har du den på dig varje dag, eller bara vid speciella tillfällen?

meh, det går ju inte. Barnen har inte somnat ännu, tiden när jag kan fokusera på nåt eget har inte ens börjat 🙂

Ok so what should we do then, in practice? One obvious thing I guess is to make sure kids don't have smartphones or similar in school. What else?

@amin that's great, thanks!

Nice! However that does not seem to show which ones have their own index, that's a very important piece of information in my opinion. For example #Mojeek has its own independent index, while DuckDuckGo does not (it uses Bing), but that difference is not seen in the list.

Yes!

More things that could go in the top-left quadrant in your diagram, "legal" and "immoral":

The Holocaust
Slavery
Gulag

All immoral, yet all legal at the time and place in question.

Those who are in favor of mass-surveillance now are perhaps also people who would have upheld those atrocities; they think the most important thing is to be obedient to the state rather than to do what's right. Cowards.

@Kellyshenanigans I'd recommend to yell out in public, write an "open letter", that kind of thing.

If you use any communication channel Microsoft themselves may have, what will happen is most likely that your message will be routed into some "AI" system which will "listen to your concerns" and then provide a fake (as in machine-generated) response to you, perhaps they will also read it to you as audio using the stolen voice of someone who declined to have their voce used for that.

Wait, no, I'm saying that. I'm saying exactly that!

Give up using Google. Right now.

@DavBot looks like it tries to be two things at once 🙂

If you want to hear me talking about my recent paper "Ticket-based multi-strand method for increased efficiency in proof-of-work based blockchains" on the MoneroTalk/MoneroTopia podcast a few days ago, here is a link to that - it's at 3:16:35 into the podcast, those things are long 🙂

Good, fun discussion. The paper is here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.09531 - please let me know if you have any thoughts about the idea.
