It allowed Gen z to connect and mobilize protests in a way that hadn’t ever been seen before. Sharing and continuing to share information that was relevant to movements after the media stopped paying attention. It had it’s problems, it had its uses.

It was good. Until they shut down. It came back wrong

SIGH

but…the ‘cheese’ isn’t free. my taxes…you know what…never mind.

I watched this and I’m just saddened by it. Especially the SOPA stuff. I can’t see modern social media reacting the same way they did to stop the legislation today. All of the major town squares have been consumed by capital. Reddit is public, Facebook is a mess, tiktok has bent the knee, Twitter is…X.

He was so right in his digital advocacy about spying and privacy.

We failed him. What would he say about the world now with AI and divided opinions.

I kept wondering how we got here. His destruction and death feels like the missing piece of the puzzle.

The unifying voice we needed

The documentary indicates it’s unclear why he did it. It could have been to share, it could have been for his own research. His outlook on data was that it should be freely available to all but in the case the prosecutors assumed his motives. We don’t actually know what he intended with the data. It’s important to remember that. Because that small detail is enough to elevate the injustice of his death. He was destroyed for downloading too much information that should have been freely available in the first place.

SkaveRat figured it out…SKAVERAT!? This is a real low point. This one really hurts.

Everyone wants to save my fucking cc info. It pisses me off so much and was part of what woke me up to opsec. The day chrome offered to put in a credit card that I didn’t tell it about was the day I stopped using google products. Cross platform for Financials is a bridge too far and every browser and os want to do it. Trying to capture financial information for ‘convenience.’ If nothing else, that set up ties to increased impulse buying because you just have to press a button.

The slight inconvenience of having to pull out your card or open your bitlocker is usually enough to stop you buying something.

Jokes on him. I’m registered republican.

This is also why we’re screaming about Windows and it’s integrated AI that can scan your drive. What Google is doing here Windows could do in the future with your local files. “That’s a nice collection of 2000s MP3s you have aaaand it’s gone.”

“That’s a nice program you have there but the creator has revoked the licensing. So we disabled it until you update your license”

I’ll put $100 down to say there are members of Collective Shout that read books like ACOTAR and Haunting Adeline. I’ll even adjust to the Austrialian dollar. $100 says they read CNC type scenes. Not all of them, obviously, but enough to label them as the hypocrites they are.

Pathfinder is clearly the answer

I’m just upset that tea users don’t allow men to access their data. I guess you’re out of luck if you’re bi
