Because you are making the tired old authoritarian argument that democracy is slow, and therefore it’s better to create hierarchical organisations with some benevolent dictators. And I believe that power always corrupts so it’s not a good solution. You believe some different so we will never agree.

You don’t have to have everybody worry about owner duty. Cooperatives doesn’t have to be tiny organisations. You can have full time employees and so on: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danish_cooperative_movement

You’ll never be able to compete with mega corps that can scale and sell your data, in order to provide a service for free. Price will never be the selling point of a more democratic web.

Why would it have to be cheaper? I’m not going to make a list. It’s a normal form of organisation in my country. For example my whole apartment complex is owned by the people who live there. We vote on what we want to pay in rent and how we want to spent the money.

And the same can be done with data coops. Here is one: https://data.coop/

There are others, with other values.

In my country a coop is a legal entity and it does give you actual ownership. And we do have data coops where people pay, and vote on how services should be developed.

Non profit coops. It need to be people owned.

Yes, those too

Lemmy lacks a bit of polish

What if you ask if you can borrow their phone and password for an hour? They have nothing to hide?

The Pokemon Company doesn’t make games. Gamefreak does and they have been awful for a long long time.

I’ll support Nintendo games. Nintendo is one of the big studios that actually publish finished games, and doesn’t fill them with micro transactions.

I wish their lawyers where less aggressive, but the games are solid.

Blå = blue Haj = shark

Blue shark. Also known as the great blue shark in English.

I feel like a lot of similar games has been released recently.

We also have to stop thinking that everything has to grow fast, and lose hope just because it’s not. Change take a really long time. Sometimes decades. Silicon Valley are obsessed with fast growth because it’s all driven by the promise of easy money. No need to adopt their mindset. Look how fast their products turn to shit.

And then you had to quickly figure where that little laser dot was placed and get rid of that ghost.

I really enjoy Mastodon, but it seems to be too confusing with all the servers. I don’t know why, but maybe because people have been conditioned by big tech to use centralised services. Especially Gen Z that grew up with this very big tech controlled internet.

Americans love to pretend they are cowboys. In reality they love centralised power and bureaucracy. They are deeply afraid of each other so they flock to platforms that pretend to be for freedom, but is actually highly regulated by centralised power. That’s why they love tech-oligarchs that pretend to be self made geniuses. It allows them to fantasise about freedom to succeed and submit to power at the same time.

You really don’t have to. It’s for collectors who have cartridges and want to experience them on a HDTV.

Good for you

I used it for the first time this morning. The motion sensor was surprisingly good at getting me out of bed. It even detected if I tried to get back in.
