@freemo @RodneyPetersonTalent Amazing how choosing your own opinions gets you attacked from both sides, isn't it?

Defining yourself as "right wing" or "left wing" is defining yourself as non-thinking. Both of those positions are self-contradictory and would run off a cliff if given the chance.

Both have some valid points, and a lot of accumulated ideology they have not thought through.

@bobjonkman @waterlooregion "Cars are heavy, drivers are distracted, and you are squishy. Look before crossing." The honest sign that should be there.

@ned What I remember is all the utopian talk from the mp3.com era about how there was all this great music we never got to hear because of those evil record labels. Soon we'd be rid of the labels and artists would get paid what they were worth and we would have all this new music.

Now I keep reading about how artists wish for the old days of merely being ripped off by record labels.

And it is hilarious that the corpse of Napster is the best paying service.

@aral @opengeohub @mwfc Funny enough, the best behaved company on this front is... Facebook? They have released a few different AIs now, and defeated the threat of a
google/microsoft AI duopoly. If you want to build a people's AI, you will probably be starting with something from Facebook.

Oh, and try out OpenAI/Whisper just once, and then tell me there is not a searchable text index of all phone calls. That thing is amazing and you know the spooks had it a couple years early.

@aral If you really mean it, develop in Firefox, and test periodically in Chrome and Safari. I had to do that, and had to do two different implementations of saving files coming in via WebRTC.
