well i mean, even that is just a bifurcation of a bifurcation of a bifurcation lol. that's part of it too. almost like a wave of sh*t roaming across the land. i agree with you too. like the past few years i started going through histor

nah, i'm upset about republicans singing to YMCA or dancing half wasted to rage against the machine with stop the steal signs in the middle of a national pandemic that has killed 500,000 americans. i'm upset about nobody reading t

note that i'm specific about hipsters because it seems to happen in a few waves. the first wave are the originals that start something, usually through serious means (ie, through literature, serious study, or whatever - think jimi hend

there's a huge difference between serious art and serious cultural activity. like experiencing national parks for instance, pack in pack out just like i had to do in boy scouts (and hated i'm not the outdoors type). hipsters are o

nah it's too much of a problem in other areas, see the comment i made above. we need to seriously raise the bar, socially. back in the dialup days we actually read the political stuff, actually contributed to interesting things, kind o

hipsters ruin everything literally my mantra whether it's last years riots from people wearing 20 dollar red fist shirts from amazon, or jan 6th insurrection by the dude wearing some funky horn helmet thing, or ariel pink, or the guy f

I'm saying that the big giant corporations and the giant governments we used to fight against died or became completely ineffective to do their jobs and the only thing that happened was giant corporations took their place that are far

I see heavy security with zero recourse by anyone to break it and anonymity is the top single problem with the Internet, not the lack of it. We should all have to log on with our identification through a blanket "know your customer&quo

Government exists solely for the purpose of negating security and life of bad actors who want to take away your rights. That is it's function, via the social contract. That can only be broken in one of two ways. Either people don'

I prefer the idea of internet governance via third party instead of the state. Flip it on it's head, where instead of government spying on everyone, we're in control of the surveillance democratically through consensus. But there

This implies that said governments are bad. Or have the perception of it. You know who benefits from VPNs, privacy, and security? The proud boys. Russia. China. Steve Bannon. And their bots, that's who. They are a threat to civil socie

Encryption might be unstoppable but they can always just assign you an IPV6 address and encryption fingerprint that becomes your new online social security number that is required from the compiler on up. Notarize your apps buddy and sign i

If you're so scared about your government that your activity might get you thrown away for life and it doesn't involve murdering someone, then you need better government, not better security because those kinds of governments will

Except state actors are currently also using the blanket privacy and security to influence elections. This is a couple of levels above talking crap about your government or buying some drugs. And if that is to the point that it scares you t

I think a lot of people confuse the appearance of a lack of strong beliefs with simple social filtering. There is no social filtering on the web because you don't have to worry about your reputation. The thing that people try the harde

It depends on whether you're for or an enemy of the EFF's type of libertarian politics which he definitely is and so am I. I'd even put Jaron Lanier in that camp too. His solution is just make everyone pay. But I guess in suc

Well that's what I'm arguing. I think algorithms have less power than people think they do, even the computer scientists. Social sciences/economic theories that study how crowds work all say that it's driven by informati

It will have the same effect the DMCA did on piracy after Napster. That's what will happen. Even if the big companies come clean and start policing, that will just move the extremists who have already built their army into decentralize

This type of thing reads like "please compost, recycle, and take public transportation" stuff. That's what I thought of the movie too. Andrew Keen has the right answer ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRbI-Ui9
