Maybe they’re talking about the fediverse or something? Idk.

And how about if I decide to go out with my cousin this fall to hunt a few animals in the most painful and excruciating way possible, prolonging their death for the thrill of the hunt?

Have you tried Owncast for self-hosted FOSS fediverse streaming? You literally can’t get banned on it because you host your own stream, same with self-hosting a lemmy instance. Like, other streaming instances can defederate from you, but you can never be banned off your own stream.

Because of you I just had two slices of bacon and two eggs for breakfast, how does that make you feel? I’ve also got at least 15 chicken wings and drumsticks in my fridge and a couple racks of beef ribs, along with several wedges of hard and soft cow cheeses. How does that make you feel?

One sentence: The presentation explores the enshittification of tech companies, outlines a three-step plan involving breaking up big tech, promoting interoperability, and restoring hacking rights, with the goal of creating a user-empowered, open internet.

Longer summary:

The user laments the current state of the internet, particularly focusing on Facebook as a case study. They discuss the stages of “enshittification,” where platforms start by benefiting users, then shift focus to business customers, and finally extract value for themselves, leading to platform decay. The user also explores the role of antitrust issues, lack of competition, and how big tech companies exploit low switching costs and impede adversarial interoperability. The talk emphasizes the need for policy changes to build a new, better internet.

The speaker elaborates on the concept of “enshittification,” where tech companies consolidate power, manipulate platforms, and resist competition. They propose a three-step plan to counter this: break up big tech companies, promote interoperability through laws like the Digital Markets Act, and restore the right to modify and hack services. The goal is to create a new, open internet that empowers users and prevents unchecked corporate influence. The speaker emphasizes the need for public support and involvement to shape a better future for technology.

I learned last week that you can set up Thunderbird with Gmail and run it almost exactly like outlook, with rules and folders and all. Cut down about 3000+ emails I’d been too lazy to delete or sort on my own to zero with a few rules and folders. 10/10, highly recommend.

Arrest every member of the ISPs, nationalize the ISP, seize all the assets of its investors and board members, and then force the members of the ISPs to install the promised broadband systems as community service as part of their debt. Make them pay for everything, and don’t allow them to file bankruptcy - all debts will pass to their children, their children’s children, and all their descendents in perpetuity until the debt is paid in full. They made their bed off the backs of the American people. Now let them pay it all back in full.

Congrats!
