American #Healthcare in a nutshell. Core services have broken, shit infrastructure, but at least there's an AI slopchat.

This is in the Atlantic, the editor-in-chief of which was an IDF prison guard. The Atlantic is also billionaire-owned by Laurene Powell Jobs and is a mouthpiece for billionaire-acceptible views. It was started as an abolitionist magazine, and now it is the opposite of that.

America is crazy. TMobile says that by opening a box of its products, you agree to its terms and conditions, which include signing away your legal rights. It would be so cool to live in a country with an honest and reasonable legal system.

"By accepting these T&Cs, you are agreeing to resolve any dispute with us through individual binding arbitration or small claims dispute procedures, and to waive your rights to a jury trial and to participate in any class action suit. See the “How can I dispute my charges?” section for details on the billing dispute process." "

This headline offers a well-deserved burn to NYT, but the piece is also great journalism, with interesting Cold War signals intelligence context in links/ embedded videos Really loving coverage by @dropsitenews.com www.dropsitenews.com/p/trump-nyt-...

Headline from Drop Site news reading:
Trump and NYT Say There’s a Russian Spy Base in Cuba. Turns Out, It’s a School.
Withth subhead:
Belly of the Beast found no evidence of an active Russian intelligence base, much less the sort of extensive equipment described by the NYT.

Because it's totally true, I like to say that the opposite of consent is tech company. With the persistence of a bratty child and the ethos of a rapist, Google is basically an addict, trying to prolong its high from the "AI" bubble that it created by endlessly forcing bullshit down our throats.

I started turning my computer on for work 50 minutes ago. And I only use Windows/ #Microsoft because I am forced to use programs not made for working well on Linux. This same computer dual boots into Debian in 3 mins. Microsoft should pay for productivity loss.

Google is so hellbent on stealing intellectual property so that websites don't get clicks that it actively increases #misinformation When I searched for "air india fuel shutoff automated" in order to see if there had been any developments on this, Google's scraped answer made it seem like...

A screenshot of a Google search for "air India fuel shutoff automated"

With scraped text from an Al Jazeera article that reads:
"Investigators later found that the aircraft's software had mistakenly interpreted the plane as being on the ground, triggering the thrust control malfunction accommodation system, which automatically moved the fuel switch from “run” to “cutoff” without any action from the pilots."

No additional context was provided, so anyone who just looked at the scraped text would get the wrong impression.

www.thenation.com/article/soci... (Continuing to not re-write posts for a smaller audience and less engagement based on the arbitrary constraints of a platform more centralized and tech bro controlled than the one people who want resilient, polycentric information systems choose)

I really appreciate The Nation as a publication. Their latest issue has analysis by a writer from 50 states, honing in on one issue in each state.

In this piece on Arizona, the writer looks at how our media environment creates a self -destructive performativity incompatible with a healthy democracy.

"In the run-up to the Civil War, congressmen of all persuasions paid close attention to how they were covered in the press."

One thing I legitimately appreciate about Knockoff Mussolini is that he really makes it explicit that the nation state system is total garbage-- just a thinly-veiled global caste structure of racial privilege, run arbitrarily by known abusers and enforced by sad, broken men exacting unchecked violence on their own neighbors.

Not rewriting this on a platform with less engagement, unnecessary length constraints, and more of the same bs centralization. money.cnn.com/2017/06/01/n...

The entire public seems to have a shit memory so here:

Mr. Manchild and Knockoff Mussolini had a falling out in 2017 because Manchild was making money from you know, selling carbon credits but not actually doing shit to reduce emissions.

And now, he's most likely mad because Knockoff Mussolini's death cult is trying to gut the new energy tax credits.

It's the same conflict, and neither of these large, toxic infants matured at all.

This is from 2017:

"From this podcast I found out that Vox's parent company is partnered with OpenAI, allowing it to cannibalize its journalists intellectual property. Yet vox wouldn't give an interview to the journalist they employ on this reporting on #AI about the topic itself.

So yeah, just let that sit with you. Let the sound of those decisions resonate, however they must."

"Trump issued an executive order calling for more information sharing between the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees the resettlement agency, and Homeland Security. Now, current and former employees of the resettlement agency say that some immigration enforcement officials have been given unfettered access to its databases, which contain sensitive and detailed case information."

Today's Democracy Now really illustrates how the US is a failing empire.

From DHS lying and saying that an 80 year old Congresswoman body slammed their armed goons to the failing airport in the same city, to the commitment to symbolic white supremecy in refugee resettlement, it's clear that the US is nearing its swan song.

When I flew back home, I had to fly over my hometown & catch a connecting flight back. Using a GPS-enabled #meshtastic node, I managed to send a message from myself in the air down to a node I own & control on the ground while flying over. These ad hoc comms networks are cool! #mesh #MeshNetwork

A screenshot of a message in the Meshtastic app that reads:

"Greetings from overhead (flight UA4866) anyone receiving? What city/ town?

Because I was raised in America, I understand that everyone who lived on the planet Alderaan was a terrorist who needed to be destroyed and anyone who has follow up questions or believes otherwise is also a terrorist.
