In today's world I don't know if an tag will have me talking to hostile Intel agencies or white supremacists but I'm hoping the real @anonyops that I knew a decade ago hears this.

Please give the game away. Get all the kompromat our North Asian dictator has on everybody and release it all at once. The deluge will counter effect most of it's power. I think the results will be wonderful.

Ummmmm…

Wait for the happy ending.

.@Blender's videos on #YouTube have now come back, but they are also being told by Google/YT that they HAVE to monetise them. #Blender are considering refusing, which presumably would mean the videos being taken down again:

Whatever they once stood for, #Google's aim now is exploiting their users' content for maximum profit.

If you don't want your videos to be exploited, it is important to switch to an independent alternative:

dev of called it being just irrelevant spamming to their clean and shiny world

In some places mentioning Sam Harris requires a CW, I hope that's not the case here. His latest interviewed Andrew Yang and discussed Universal Basic Income or and I think it's well worth everyone's time to hear it.

**Protect Immigrant Rights; End the Crises That Drive Migration**

"The ugliness of US immigration policy is once again evident. There is national outrage that separating children, often infants, from their parents is wrong. There is also national consensus (nine out of ten people in the US) that people brought here by their parents, the Dreamers, should not be…"

An example of misguided advocacy. The problem here isn't that there aren't enough "can we share?" tick boxes. The problem with big data disrimination is the "big" part. Data ownership has become far too centralized within silo systems in which a few people make all the decisions. Can these people be made accountable? Not really. To start with corporations are not run democratically, but even if they were the ratio between "data subjects" and "data controllers" is such that governance won't be possible and you'd just have the "westminster village" effect.

#YouTube makes money from videos promoting extremism. Its algorithm radicalises viewers, because it wants people to be angrily clicking on more videos.

YouTube is tearing society apart by encouraging us to hate each other:

The most promising ethical alternative to YouTube is #PeerTube, which is decentralised and in beta testing.

You can support development of PeerTube to a release version at its crowdfunding page:

This is to me! The site:
haveibeenpwned.com/
lets you type in an email address and it tells you the places that your data has been breached on. I don't recall Disqus ever telling me that I got hacked.

I just discovered it because a NextCloud forum post I didn't read till today was talking about how it will auto test to see if your ID got hacked for preemptive warnings.

Although, it gives me pause to give a password to a site that may record the hash.
