Easier said than done. I havent seen a system that doesn't eventually attract and promote power hungry people. People that like having power over others, that abuse that power, and create systems to protect themselves.

Pedophilia is a real thing, but I highly doubt all these elites suffer from it. They are simply looking for a new taste, a new experience, a way of showing off their wealth and power. I honestly don't know how you solve a problem like this without a huge purge that holds these offenders accountable. But they are in control and we are bickering over if global warming really actually seriously exists for real this time, and throwing anyone who could be The Other under the bus.

The last 10 years have really shaken my belief in the common man, and I'm seriously doubting if we have the faculties to hold a democracy together.

I don't want account sharing either, except theres things like Google homes where you can't sign in with more than one account. People sharing the same account in a TV aren't trying to, it's just the natural way they use it.

Exactly. I see that it can happen, I am seeing it happen first hand. I still don't understand why it's happening.

Yeah. I use Nebula and go out of my way to watch there whenever possible. The app isn't great, but I still recommend it.

How much do we need to pay though? Most content creators I see have their patreon around $7 CDN/mo. Add even a couple and you're now at the cost of a streaming subscription with much more content. I would have no problem paying content creators if the fees were more reasonable, but right now I only subscribe to a couple.

Should a creator's patreon drop in price to $1 or $2 a month, or should the viewer pay a small fee per view? What new monetization system would make sense where the consumer doesn't have an unaffordable pile of subscriptions, but the creators still get paid a fair rate for their effort?

A quick way to test would be installing the Flatpak version of FF. As far as I know it should contain everything you need in one go, plus super easy to uninstall.

The data would have to be scaled back, no doubt about that. Right now they collect everything under the sun because they can. Remember, this would be data they otherwise wouldn't get at all.

If I were to predict how it would work I would say they would continue to send back full fidelity data over Wi-Fi the same as today, but mesh would be used as a fallback if nothing is available. That data could be bundled to once a day, or week or whatever they decide makes sense and would only include summary information like, how much time spent on each channel per day, SSIDs scanned in the area, etc.

Are you using Linux? Do you have the right codecs installed? Firefox shouldn't be jerky.

It may not be that way for much longer. Take a look at Amazon Sidewalk. They're using low power, long range mesh technology so Ring Doorbells and Echos can communicate without access to the internet. That may not sound like a big deal, but the potential is huge.

If companies like Amazon/Google are able to create a "side network" they could use it to provide low bandwidth backhaul for other companies that want to get telemetry from their airgapped devices.

So, for example, you get a new Roku smart TV and don't connect it to your Wi-Fi, but your neighbour has a Ring doorbell so it just uses that.

Mesh tech is awesome, and so is tech in general, but we are so slow at regulating it. This stuff needs to be opt in at the absolute minimum.

Don't worry, the anti-vaxxers are going to give it a comeback.

Are you sure the front sensor doesn't work at all, or is it just finicky? Have you tried pitting a small furniture pad on each side of the front pad to focus your food pressure?

I'm not a big social media user myself. Lemmy is pretty much it, unless I count watching videos on YouTube social media. I still feel a lot of the points he makes in the video.

Richard Stallman is a household name to tech enthusiasts, but there's a whole young generation that's being brought up in a world where this stuff was already there. I'm lucky I remember not having the internet as a child and I worry about how this is effecting the people who are oblivious to it.
