  2. Tired of censorship on Is the Next Big Thing In Tech -- Disconnecting From It? (cnbc.com) · · Score: -1

    The internet was fun when it was about US freedom and supported the US right to free speech.
    People are tired of shadow bans, CoC, domestic politics, police reports.
    Microphones in smart devices that are always on.
    German, French, Spanish, UK gov controls over speech, links and comments.

    The internet twill respond with methods to get around gov, NGO, think tank and mil demands for censorship.
    Less use of ads, CC, 3rd party subscription services, merchant services that have to respond to a CC political views.
    Web sites, mailing lists, forums, P2P.
    More use of open source projects for live streaming to get around the political control of social media and video-sharing websites.

    The disconnect will be from ads, CC control, the political control of govs, NGO, think tanks and a return to what made the internet great.
    Payments, bandwidth, content, the fun of memes returning to users away from big brand social media and their political controls over publishing.

    Forums and sites will become clubs with membership. Supportive and fun avoiding the controls of big brands.
    Bandwidth will be donated back by users as they enjoy streaming content.
    That will allow more creative and fun users globally to escape from local, gov, NGO and big brand censorship.
    the search engine is really the last place that can still hide a site, not display results.
    The world needs a better search engine that is free of censorship, de ranking, de listing and party politics.

    Pay for an email service.
    Talk to people on the phone. Stay away for free internet "services". Your content is the product sold.
    Don't use social media.

    Enjoy the internet but don't keep adding anything about yourself to free sites and free services.
    Want to look up something that's related to health, education, health topics that have technical terminology?
    Use a different computer system not part of your CC, bank, accounts.

    Its all in the metadata and content thats sold. Their encryption keeps it safe until the content is all plain text and sold on.

    Its not much use to try and make someone that fit and smart over a year in the mil.
    Decades of trying to teach IQ and fitness did not work.
    Thats needs years of fitness and endurance to be ready for the advanced mil projects.

    The US needs to make mil service fun again.
    Sport and education need to be ready for years before entering the US mil.

  8. Re:Not gratification in handouts on Finland Basic Income Trial Left People 'Happier But Jobless' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Its the kind of job people do for hours to get into other work.
    To move on in the fast food company if they want.
    To earn money at that stage of their working life.
    People learn the needed skills and how to keep time.
    Thats what makes work good. Study, advancement, putting the money to something.
    A resume that stands out later when needed. That a person can work. Turn up on time. Learn. Be able to take on new skills.
    Part time work gives people a way to move up into better work. Pay for some education.
    People get to take home the productive results of their days work.
    They can save, learn, try a hobby, buy something, enjoy what they want.
    Its not all lost to a huge new tax to pay for a UBI.
    With the UBI given back lost to the costs of products, more tax and services.
    Working gives freedom as the wage is the persons to invest, spend, use.

    A UBI might not be cash from a gov. A UBI could end up on a controlled gov card.
    Show ID, prove citizenship, have every amount of spending set each month.
    With a gov offering a list of products and services that can never be paid for with gov UBI money.
    Products and services that are counted every month,, rationed depending on the new gov that election.
    Things a gov felt should be done get support and more funding?
    A wage after working suddenly looks great and has some real freedom in cash.
    When a gov gives out a UBI as a digital spending card, it can block, lock, regulate and tax.
    A set amount of a UBI has to go on a set about of approved food every month? From a list of approved shops?

    The reality of a controlled UBI from a gov will not always be free cash from a bank account.
    Like the internet? The UBI will only pay for a set speed of ISP service.
    Like books? The UBI will only approve set topics.
    Like a car? The UBI will only cover a very short list of electric cars to travel in.
    Not drive. No spending on any non electric car parts.
    Need to travel? The UBI will not allow that free holiday unless for approved gov reasons. Medical, academic.
    Want a passport? The UBI will not allow that as that would be a free holiday paid for by a UBI.
    Accepting the digital UBI comes with a lot of gov limits. But everyone can get a UBI at anytime and use they UBI on things that are needed.

    Do what they are told.
    Respond to unexpected conditions and changes.
    Can interact with other people at work.
    Can work with and around money.
    Able to talk to and be nice to paying customers.

  11. Re:Cut them off on Australia Parliamentary Network Hacked In Possible Foreign Government Attack · · Score: 0

    How can NATO and 5 eye nations spy on a Russia and China if the network is not working.
    A US embassy worker talks with a Russian gov/mil worker and hands them an email address and network information.
    Lots of US cash for top secrets emailed out of Russian mil/gov.
    Nobody from an embassy, US backed NGO wants to get seen collecting the material sold in person.
    So the internet to Russia and China stays on.

    Want a color revolution in Russia? To have Communist China become like free Taiwan?
    That needs western social media to spread the slogan, show the interviews, the "freedom" messages and plan protests.
    The English speaking charismatic Russian protest leaders giving interviews on time for the US news cycle.
    Everyone spying on Russia needs the internet in Russia to be working, fast and ubiquitous.
    Spying and Western funded protests in Russia by Western NGO's depend on good internet in Russia.
    Russia has to believe it really needs the internet for networked science, education, games and fun.
    Russia without the internet would result in a lot of CIA and MI6 work getting discovered due to the number of people having to collect information in person again.
    With the make up, wigs, SUV, walking, getting found with Russian secret documents.
    With internet working, spying is a network connection to the West with all the risk is back on the person who wants to "spy" for US cash.
    To walk out with a data set, send it out of Russia via the internet. Just another encrypted file moving along the vastness of the internet.

    Dont become part of EU laws.
    EU nations laws are about tax, censorship and who is allowed to publish.
    Did a France, Germany, Spain give that ability to control the publication of links and news about history, art, faith. politics? No.
    The EU laws, taxes on publication and gov control stayed and are now enforced for the world to enjoy.
    Want the freedom of speech and the freedom to publish? Publish in the USA.
    Want the freedom to comment on and link to a publication? Use a US network that respects freedom of speech.
    All the EU nations can offer is laws about what can be published, taxes and extra gov censorship.
