WOOOO

Change. Change is ruffling people’s feathers. They want what they are used to, and the new thing is unequivocally evil.

Of course not. The fingerless gloves are also niche, boutique, and premium.

Then you are extremely lucky, as am I. I have enough money saved up that I took a break.

However, something like 40% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and just don’t have that option. The threat of poverty is constantly chasing them. When you’re in that situation, you will take the best option available even if it’s garbage or next to garbage.

The main argument is that we are in a system of people who are way more powerful than us, and have largely taken away our options until we agree. We’re facing widespread protests and international strikes right now because we don’t like the options they’ve given us, and we’re trying to change the system.

Just because somebody takes away your options until you agree, doesn’t mean they aren’t forcing you. Just because you happen to be satisfied with what you have, doesn’t mean that something better is not being denied from you, even though it is possible for you to have it.

Categorically false.

Many people with down syndrome live fulfilling, independent lives, and even have children with other people who have down syndrome

So… Without a government, there just wouldn’t be armies? Rich and powerful private citizens wouldn’t form their own armed forces?

The amount that pops into my head is big enough that I’d say I don’t need it.

It may complicate your life though. You’d have no explanation of who you are or why you’re there.

Your position assumes also that no photos can be staged. That’s a whole category of “true” photos that tell a false narrative.

Vimeo is a private operation just like YouTube.

Peertube is a “federated” system where videos are hosted among the computers of the people who upload videos.

Dvorak is a cypher of Qwerty tho. Anything typed in Dvorak but transcribed as english can be reliably identified and decyphered

I think I might have achieved security through obscurity. My custom keyboard is a unique shape and almost all the keys are one unit. Not only is it different enough from a traditional keyboard that the neural network probably won’t understand it, the function layers I use obscure whether I’m typing a letter at all.

I haven’t a lot useful to say among the comments that are already here but I will say most broadly:

Democracy in the work place. Corporations and industries are too big and affect too many people to be governed by individuals that are just there to own it, and make a profit for themselves. Things need to be run for the common good by actually representing all stakeholders fairly.

Well… Mathematicians would agree with me

Nah, lying by omission can still tell a totally wrong narrative. Sometimes it has to be the whole truth to be the truth.

“that it’s a true representation of what someone saw.”

Someone please correct me if I’m wrong but photography has never ever ever been a “true” representation of what you took a picture of.

Photography is right up there with statistics in its potential for “true” information to be used to draw misleading or false conclusions. I predict that a picture with this technology may carry along with it the authority to impose a reality that’s actually not true by pointing to this built-in encryption to say “see? the picture is real” when the deception was actually carried out by the framing or timing of the picture, as has been done often throughout history.

If voting with your money is a valid way for people to collectively decide right and wrong, does that mean people with more money get more votes?

Does that mean the people with the most money get the most votes?

If that’s all true, does that mean if someone has way more money than everyone else, they get to decide what’s right and wrong?
