You were talking about data ownership, not intellectual property.
Oof. Was not aware of that one.
According to legend, Alexander the Great came to visit the philosopher Diogenes of Sinope. Alexander wanted to fulfill a wish for Diogenes and asked him what he desired. As told by Diogenes Laërtius, Diogenes replied, “Stand out of my light.”
One day while he was eating a frugal dish of lentils, he was challenged by the philosopher Aristippus, who, for his part, led a golden life as he was one of the king’s courtiers. Aristippus scornfully told him: “See, if you learned to crawl before the king, you wouldn’t have to settle for rubbish like this vulgar dish of lentils!” Diogenes replied: “If you’d learned to make do with lentils, you wouldn’t have to crawl before the king!”
Big dick energy. Love this guy.
Your heart rate. Your step count. Your location. Your searches. Your browser history. Your call history. Your contacts. Your transactions. Your credit history. Your medical history. This is data that you didn’t choose to create or share, but that you exhaust in the day-to-day things you do.
Surveillance capitalism has grown too unfathomably huge and ingrained to choose not to share this data; that would be akin to checking out of modern life wholesale in a lot of ways. Guarding this data takes not only the realisation that it needs guarding, but changing law and culture such that the parties that have to have all that data to provide you with services cannot take it from you to sell.
In Yanis Varoufakis’s words: Techno feudalism.
Great, thanks for driving up the price and thus making the market more attractive. This is a never ending waste of time, money, energy and life.
But muh edge cases!
You can store most bicycles on trains, where I’m from people have fold-up bicycles that will fit under a seat even just for last-mile transport. Cargo bikes won’t fit on a train though, they’ll block aisles and standing room. I doubt hauling a whole-ass train car just for bicycles is cost effective.
…what? A meme is an interpretation of a template by definition.
People actually use those? I mean, is the cap really so heavy that the little rubber cable won’t hold it? I say dangle free, my man!
That’s just AL, and he’s sick and tired of being confused with AI due to the lower case L.
Remember kids, the market does not aim to produce food but profit. If it can get you to pay for eating sawdust or forever chemicals it will and it has.
Funny, I’ve always thought of them as terms of honour. At least that’s why I called my father old man. He called his captain that back when he was a sailor. (second edit: fun fact, his last captain was my grandpa on mom’s side. Guess he liked the captain’s daughter.)
edit: I guess it’s a way to acknowledge seniority.
Ah yes, the market. Known for it’s agile flexibilty so that it can adjust to demand at will and efficiently. I’m sure this will turn out well for everyone. By which I mean the peasants will be forced to commute to keep the status quo or they’ll lose their house while governments bail out the class that took on the risk for this real estate.
Don’t let the intrusive thoughts win
No issues here, I use it for banking almost daily.
You could clean one very specific part of you for a few minutes with some nature documentaries playing in the background is what they’re saying.
I recently ordered a display and a battery for my Fairphone 4. Replacement took me about 10 minutes. She’s still humming on /e/OS!
Who says what is official?
