Your reasoning touches on a deep philosophical concept: what is "ownership"?
I'd say owning something is easy enough when you can't duplicate it (I can't just copy your car or house to save money). Duplication, however, means the ownership is technically the abstraction of "intellectual property", which worked fine when duplicating cost money and people paid money for it.
However, the very essence of using a computer on a network is simply using copies. You're not reading this as I write it, but a copy your computer downloaded.
How can we keep the fediverse federated?
I only partly live under a rock, so I've now heard that the Facebooks is making Threads, and it'll talk to Mastodon.
Any idea how to keep them from taking over? Apparently, you're a weirdo these days if you use Firefox, Brave/Qwant, and trust FLOSS > proprietary.
Right wing? Money is a pretty nonpartisan matter.
Most of the right-wingers have already fled off to Gab, MeWe, or Mastodon.
What's your favorite weird corner of the internet?
I love the weird one-off internet: those tiny little fan projects made by someone with a true passion and something in their mind that's probably hard to pronounce.
Any fun corners of the internet out there still beyond social media? Or do you build anything yourself?
That really depends on which philosophy you subscribe to.
The TL;DR is that existential and post-modern philosophy say it's varying degrees of relative, while everything anyone said before ~1800 was saying that facts were immutable.
One fact I can glean is that the data itself may be real (e.g., the wavelengths of light that hit your eyeballs) but the perception is a composite illusion of our mind (e.g., the fact that you just saw a kitty).
You're forgetting the future stages:
- holy crap! im autistic
- hey everyone, im autistic
- okay, i guess it just explains everything
- nobody seems to care that much
- alright, i'll go find a good-paying tech/accounting/science job now
- proud to be ASD, if anyone cares
