... somewhat disappointed the guy is now associated with AWS. I guess I was hoping for a non-profit organization.

Unfortunately the network prison keeps people at the Nazi bar. Mandatory Interoperability is the only solution here, which depends on the government, which depends on Nov 11 folks.

what happened there ?

> the billionaires complaining about Prop 40’s one-time 5 percent tax have seen their wealth surge by an average of 65 percent during the past 20 months and have paid only 0.26 percent of their wealth in state income taxes over five recent years. But the opposition’s playbook has nothing to do with morality or the merits. It is about whether concentrated wealth can override the will of the majority and drown out our votes.

It's visible

Maybe we going to have to shut down the Internet soon. Maybe it won’t be such a bad thing to become more local and decentralized again.

There is a Swiss model by ETH university completely trained on fair and open data that everybody can use and is from top to bottom open source.

That's why a transparent attribution graph is paramount for trust-worthy AI. Otherwise paid disinformation campaigns, as already spewed out by for-hire private-spy agencies (NSO and similar) and 'LLM-SEO' in general, to poison LLMs will deteriorate LLM search to become as enshitiffied as the 'classic google/bing/etc ad-driven' search beforehand.

Absolutely agree, Bernie is seen as politically 'normal' by most (western) countries. Only Amercians having become gradually skewed by Reagonomics (or better his puppet masters) that are so (ab)used by predatory capitalism would think of him as outer left, whereas most of the world sees in him a centrist (as would 1950s golden-era American voters).

There were attempts to bring micro-transactions to the browser via W3C standards - but guess who obstructed it? Yes, the big G that's running the browser with most market-share (Chrome) and who's entire business-model it having your data so only they can be the middle man between you and ads. Imagine if people could just support what they like with one click, instead of getting dumped on with paid propaganda and disinformation so that the middle men fill their pocket.

Yes, that was the Clinton-controlled ('wealthy donors') DNC that excluded Bernie from a fair competition to become the Democrat's Candidate - which by all metrics and polling from the party's base and non-party members he would have won.

So, the Clinton-controlled DNC from 2016 put Trump in the White House.

The positive message is that since then the Democrats have been infused by Sanders-like independent Democrats that want to do the right thing, but we must keep on pushing to rid and guard the DNC and party administration off the corrupt billionaire influences.

The Democratic Party too had problematic 'wealthy supporters' that influenced them away from a people's real needs. However, Biden's initiatives were probably the most 'socialistic' since FDR. And if the DSA and Bernie Sanders' aligned forces are finally able to force the Democratic Party back to their roots of FDR, then there is good chance we might still make it.

Interesting, true citizen action only revealed the FBI was the author of the blackmailing of MLK.

> On March 8, 1971, an activist group called the Citizens' Commission to Investigate the FBI burglarized a local office of the FBI in Media, Pennsylvania, and stole classified documents. Parts of them exposed a secret FBI operation called COINTELPRO. Those documents were later sent to newspapers and members of the United States Congress.
