Create a new account each time with a new email address (outlook works fine). Profit of unlimited “new customer offer”. You can even do it for each article you purchase.

With this, I bought a lot of 1 cent crap when it was a thing.

Yeah but no. It’s not an RSS feed per se. It’s researchers sharing what they publish and what other publish with ints or resumes sometimes. Then people would comment and researchers reply.

Some use/used it as an RSS feed for researchers sharing papers.

No need of this. Make a mandatory physical check of the ID that can’t be subcontracted. People want an account? They need to go to an office and open it there like it was the case in the past for a bank account.

Oh, come on, he has a solution, and it’s “making money”.

Lots of humans even with good academia are followers. They follow the mass. It’s not idiotic. If the group does this, it should not be bad or present a risk. It’s quite rational. If people eat apples, it’s safe and I can eat them too.

They use a similar reflexion with our socio-economical system. They follow.

It depends on whom we follow. Here, sociopathy plays a role. They are often more prompt to embrace power and favor selfishness.

AI is the new scam after crypto, nft, etc. The technology isn’t to blame itself. It can have some useful case for sure.

The real issue is the Market™, the belief in infinite growth. We arrived at the point of no return, where infinite growth is impossible. Humans like to challenge impossible. They will try to find whatever is possible to tackle the impossible. In our case, humans try to create growth artificially with crypto, nft, ai, and all the others. Because, it’s the only way to have a minimalist growth for the shareholders and investors. Billions if not trillions were invested in Google and the others AI companies to milk the last drop for some dividend. Short term dividends should have wrote.

These bad search results are not to serve the general interest. It’s here to serve these investments and return the last profit possible of the dogma of infinity in a finite world. It does indicate how bad the situation became for the economy. They are the cracks leaking the end of an era. They are symptomatic.

You can’t fly over a Streisand effect.

The EU said the Apple’s implementation isn’t complying. The rules are clear. Sideloading means sideloading.

France is here a better example. The Gendarmerie has its own distribution based on Ubuntu called GendBuntu. The state developed Tchap, a messaging system based on matrix. And many are looking to Linux to simply cut the cost like the french army.

Side note: The app Fedilab has its package name based on the french government open source projects (fr.gouv.etalab.mastodon).

The point isn’t what they did or do. It’s what they claim. They claim to care about you and your privacy but comply with governments.

If they really care about privacy, they would allow sideloading of apps to circumvent bans. But, in fact, they created a walled garden where the walls follows the governments requirements to maximize the profits at the cost of the privacy.

Dreams are free and can’t be tracked.

It’s not about EU citizenship but if you are actually living in the EU.

You should ask your carrier why. Why they don’t offer it. EU and US are two different market where people don’t buy phones in the same way.

They cut the cost by not selling it to the carriers which will sell it to the customer.

In my European country, the market is dynamic. The fairphone 5 is available in multiple store. People have cheap mobile plan without contract. Another type of market.

This the type of business the EU has to develop. An entire ecosystem from phones, earbuds to computers and software. It’s how you create a conscious and a model.

The difference is you’re not relying on one corp with IRC.

I never ever understood and still doesn’t understand why people like Discord. It’s not indexed, it’s a constant background noise. It’s absolutely not user-friendly. You can do better with IRC.

This will probably what will happen.

The free market can regulate and drugs are a good example of that.

One cartel became bigger than another one.
