It's all coming down to the build out of "smart" cities. Look into the players building Brazil's. Them choosing not to allow Xsquawk in their country won't mean they won't allow home grown TruthBrazil (made it up) to prosper without major competition.
Now that the price for compute has come down drastically as well as solar for power, the only thing people can do to battle the machines (blocs) controlling the machines, is if everyone turns off all their networked crap as a "whole," as if that would ever happen voluntarily, or the device that would give them simple transmit/receive be manufactured at hyperscale so anyone wanting to connect to the public at large can do so without a fascist filter. It can be built. Plenty on this planet live that way already. It's a matter of getting that ability into the hands of everyone, and fast. This is strictly for bouncing around in ActivityPub land, mind you, not everywhere in the digiverse! We still need to leave that playground for the hackers. #gibberish but not really.
@crazyeddie@gimulnautti@zleap@davetroy not confident ActivityPub is the magic bullet either, but with 4 days to launch, that seems to be the only one loaded in the chamber with people already interested and on the move.
@sinewave@quixoticgeek well, to be fair, IT classes don't host lectures on the philosophic argument of morality. That's a separate field of study. One creates the tools, the other debates their use.

@br00t4c yeah, that was what I've been trying to sort out.

Everyone's snapping into something. What their version of Voltron will be called, I'm not sure. They all seem to be doing a lot of heavy petting with each other. Is that the benchmark of competition or a sign of the nationwide bloc to come down with the curtain?
That's why I say, Vivaldi folks. They're trying to assemble the head on top of the EU processing station for the planet.
All anyone using Mastodon has to do is help them do it.
If they get a nugget at the end of the rainbow, so what? Shouldn't one be able to strengthen and lift up one's own community?
Bravo Ozempic! I apologize for everyone over here stabbing themselves with a shot of 'O' as a pre workout jolt to balance their smoothie.
They just can't stop feeding their jive to a hive that couldn't care less about its bees.
I think they're calling them Murder Hornets or something.
Saving people is hard if they don't care enough to save themselves.
