exactly this. i say PIR - Private Information Retrieval

offline everything, no middlehands

condition “the industry” as these are called to change the RND departement - live without dependency on fuckers

yeah okay well your watchparties are increasingly going to get worse until you too hit your threshold: such is the business.

the rest of the world uses a VPN like MullvadVPN and qBittorrent to “digitally back up media we’ve already bought”. without ads, in better quality, without telemetry, without serfdom-subscriptions. you may like AI offloading your decisionmaking, but keep doing it and you will be codependent on authority for choosing anything in life. what do you want in a cozy moment away from work? it frustrates me to read people are too anxioys to begin to do otherwise and accept the way things are. that’s a rant in return

have a nice day, i won’t make this into a chain of replies.

lmao i added to the word of mouth here, that was the point.

ofcourse HP sells more. they’re a market monopoly that polemically and aggressively remove common knowledge of competitors when able to.

this reminds me of many instances of undesireable policymaking where algorithms just connected state personell with agendas of politicians through the black box of social media… like a judge who got the thoughts of a politician on certain rulings which is illegal in nordic countries. like the message of “hey what if climate activists are obstructing capital ventures in law? can a judge try that?” is illegal for a politician to ask of a judge here, yet through social media it happened. she didn’t see that politician’s exact words but was bombarded by posts and probably ads that shaped the way she thought about her job as a juridical arbiter of lives. left uncorrelated in mainstream

like modos, the open source e-ink kit with as fast refresh rates as LCD screens? on crowdsource right now

and as “open printer”? open source printer with refillable ink cartridges, no tracking shenanigans, a repairable design and possibility to just put a roll of paper (at most A3 in width) then letting it print bannerolls… crowdsource too iirc

so osmosis? kinda like the consensus people form from being on the internetverse - not knowing just where they picked a fact or perspective up from, but touting it as an obvious fact or perspective that everyone has

so just like crypto & AI: a ponzo scheme
