Musk’s plan to axe X's block button is a real win for stalkers and abusers.
  • I’ve kept my account because it’s a sought after username. Deleting it would allow some grifter to take it over. It also predates both Elmo’s and the original Twitter accounts.

    I’ve not posted anything under it since the third party apps were blocked.

  • If a corporation were subject to normal human health risks, we would have a clean environment and trillions invested in fighting climate change.
  • Corporations are the only ‘persons’ it should be acceptable to subject to capital punishment.

    If one is found to have behaved in a destructive or sociopathic way, its capital should be seized, socialised or auctioned off, and the proceeds primarily put toward remediation.

    Corporations are more amoral than immoral, their undesirable behaviours are typically the result of the incentives they’re rewarded for exhibiting. It would also help if their involvement in the creation and policing the rules they’re expected to follow were severely diminished.

  • What do you think the voting age should be?
  • From an Australian perspective, my proposal is:

    • Eligible to vote at 16.
    • Compulsory voting at 18.
    • A citizen’s vote has a weight of 100% until 20, then drops 5% at each birthday that ends with a 0.

    The reason for the diminishing weight of a vote is to correlate with the diminished exposure political decisions will have on the citizen.

  • Why is the internet overflowing with rubbish ads – and what can we do about it?
  • Advertising needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.

    It indiscriminately pollutes the environments it’s projected in to, and causes secondary harms to non-participants by incentivising the mass hoarding of personal information which is uneconomical to appropriately secure.

  • FTC urged to make smart devices say how long they will be supported
  • I see it just gets incorporated into their business model.

    I’d argue it would meaningfully suppress the incentive for planned obsolescence for good faith manufacturers, and it opens up repurposing of equipment from less reputable entities.

  • FTC urged to make smart devices say how long they will be supported
  • I’d like to see a requirement that products and devices which have been deemed by their manufacturer to be end of sale/support/repair/life are required to be unlocked, with technical schematics and repair documentation made freely available, upon request of the owner.

  • Friendly reminder to get help if you're feeling suicidal
  • This perspective betrays a complete lack of understanding and experience of being chronically suicidal. Inflicting the responsibility of how others conduct themselves on someone, particularly one in a vulnerable state, is beyond repugnant.

    The only effective mechanism for prevention of chronic suicidality is to create an environment in which one can actively, freely, and legitimately choose to participate when they’re at their most vulnerable.

  • Difference between downloading on public wifi and mobile hotspot?
  • Client separation on WiFi is supposed to force clients to only talk to the AP and prevent them from talking directly to each other. The motivation is to allow the AP to enforce appropriate policies.

    The feature may well be as antiquated as WEP now, it’s been years since I looked into how it actually functions.
