I was a socdem once. My elders told me I would move right when I paid taxes. Now, I'm "friends" with a kangaroo until the revolution or something. From what I understand, the kangaroo believes in a classful, stateful communism.

I write software collectively. Sometimes code needs to be fixed. Let's say Fred wrote some code that needs to be fixed. I fix it and create a merge request. My reviewer, Mark, looks over my merge request and allows it into the collective repository. Fred, being too attached to her code, comes over yelling. Fred has not learned that software is a collective experience.
We collectively own the technology and creative works. Under capitalism, we must individually own that work to make money.
I suppose the issue is the private ownership of the algorithm. Lemmy is a way to distribute ownership even though I think each instance is privately owned. It might be worthwhile to create a platform abstracting the data from the algorithm allowing the end user a choice of recommendation algorithm.
There is no money in it. Enclosure of the recommendation algorithm is profitable.
If there are recommendation systems, maybe an open API for requests is required. Thereby a user can choose an algorithm. I would go as far as open sourcing it all.
I agree that the current form puts too much power in the hands of a few.
We should only consume domestic media. Good thing the Bible is domestic media. \s
How is there less risk to Americans on a platform like X(itter) instead of TikTok?
Nice to see nerdcore on Lemmy. There's so much out there, but here's some variety from the subgenre hackercore.

I've been thinking about the self-immolation of Aaron Bushnell. The extreme form of protest rattled people that oppose the genocide. Genocide supporters used the act as a way to point at service members that don't support genocide. The people that needed the message of his protest do not care. I contend Aaron Bushnell could have done more by continuing life.
I am not you. I do not know your story. I do know you brighten up my Lemmy feed with your posts. Your message reaches me.
I have a gallows sense of humor about the current systemic issues. I have been watching a police officer patrol the neighborhood in a SUV with a massive rack of lights on top. Welcome to the future, I suppose.
Politically, "power to" is important to me. I feel empowered knowing that I have the "power to" end my life, but have chosen not to, because we are stronger together in the fight against over-policing and the heirarchical power structures that use forms of violence to restrict our "power to" do things.
I medicate with music. Since you are already in a dark place, here is music I medicate with to feel empowered when I am reaching the end of my rope. It is not what you would get from a crisis line.
This life is fucked, this life is shit We never even asked for it So with that I'll do what I please Spray my brains all over the trees Only thing waiting on the other side Is six feet of dirt, there's no surprise to hide

And if I die as a partisan, oh bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao, ciao, ciao and if I die as a partisan then you must bury me.

From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs
- Critique of the Gotha Programme (1875) by Karl Marx
I do have disdain for the phases laid out by Marx, but this slogan is wisdom.
You are right. The video shows a dermal electroencephalogram (EEG). The article talks about the "60 Minutes" video using an array being an inspiration. Both an array or EEG are tech from the 2010's. I am enthralled by the tech/research and wish it paid better.
Further, assuming intelligence is measurable by an IQ test.
I have never heard this version. Still addresses elimination of heirarchy. Happy New Year and thank you.

We keep us safe. Defense against bad actors is everyone's resposibility. The kid who runs off with the ball doesn't get invited to play anymore. I don't know where the idea anarchists are pascifist comes from, but the answer is shoot back. No Gods, no masters.
