people refuse to boycott anything, for any amount of time. thats what leads to getting to be so expensive.
in reality, it would be ideal if everyone was willling to boycott anything (maybe everything ) for any amount of time ( possibly up to a max of infinity )

private intelligence companies the new spymasters
In a world awash with digital data, private intelligence companies now compete with state agencies, turning everyone into potential spies and transforming the age-old craft of espionage into a high-stakes technological arms race.
"At the same time, daily life relies more than ever on digital technology: more things run on software (fridges, cars, phones), those things have a greater array of sensors (GPS receivers and radio transmitters) and they are increasingly connected, often over the internet, allowing data, often embodying our most personal secrets, to flow to and fro. The paradox of the modern world is that, while we have more means to keep our data secret, there is so much more data to contend with and so many more places from where it can seep out into the world, where a sprawling ecosystem of private intelligence can collect, analyse and use it."
what makes this so great? ( genuinely curious. slightly critical)
the topics seem good. but posting to two coms is kinda spammy. as opposed to asking in one, then collect answers before asking for further additional responses in another.
maybe its time people redirect their money to supporting peertube
i get the feeling that society really doesnt want to spend the money to give people healthcare.
criminals launder money via real estate
Revelations come amid federal government push for additional scrutiny of sector through counter-terror financing and money-laundering laws
AUS makes it easy for criminals to launder money through real estate
in some cases.. "concealing illicit money flows as rental income, and investing illicit cash into property improvement activities,"
the AUS government fails to prevent this. "The state’s real estate laws have not been updated in the almost decade since that ruling."
use of real estate for money laundering continues to be a problem all over the world. speculation over worth makes it attractive to criminals and hard to detect. governments should not allow housing to be a collectible asset traded by criminals.
better to keep track of a ton of torrents and seed the ones that go completely dead

but facebook dominates normie space, ..and all space ( except alt & tech space . often of an elite flavor)

article: The Significant Corporate Importance & Pressure Around Mesa Open-Source Linux 3D Drivers
"The most recent example is a now-merged merge request to revert an earlier change bumping the Zlib dependency for Mesa. The basis for that revert is that it breaks SPECViewPerf."
"Due to Mesa dynamically linking Zlib and how SPECViewPerf is handled, the update happens to break SPECViewPerf that is a popular benchmark for workstation graphics and one commonly used by hardware vendors and other stakeholders. Ultimately it's an issue with how SPECViewPerf is setup as an application bug but it could also be argued that Mesa could statically link it or better handle its dependencies. In any event, it's a regression for Mesa and breaks SPECViewPerf. And SPECViewPerf is important to vendors.
So the immediate solution that's now been merged is to revert that Zlib update commit..."
"They think it's a technical issue. It's not. It's a political and strategic issue for the Mesa community. If you prevent something from working that the industry finds important, you risk destroying real jobs in this community and shrinking it, regressing Mesa's reputation, making it more inferior in the industry, and thus less important. What this revert does is that it preserves existing jobs (i.e. existing stuff keeps working) and opens the door for creating new jobs and growing this community in a sustainable manner by showing others what it can do. You need capital and business interests to grow the community, and to get that, Mesa must be the best because it's always competing with alternatives.
If you thought this is only about dependencies, well, you're mistaken, and if you want to hurt the future of Mesa because your stupid zlib dependency is more important than anything else, including the livelihood of other people, you're just a foolish bikeshedder."
