Tax the income of corporations not the profit. The same way you get taxed your VAT. That means that corporations can't tax evade: if they make income in a country, they get taxed. They can't go an declare the profit in the Netherlands or Ireland and skip paying taxes.

Create and use parallel institutions to allow society to thrive without needing to play the billionares economy game. Example: communication tools outside of a market involvement such as Lemmy, Element (matrix). Economy tools. Association tools. See the application of Dual Power by socialists, which is what you are proposing here, a redistribution of power and wealth.

Vote for those pushing for these.

Tech is a tool. It can be benefitting the oligarchs and restrictive, or benefitting society and open source.

Copyright and license laws for you, not for me. This is the biggest theft ever.

Evidence? OF COURSE!

Have you even tried searching for it?

Google even says so for Chromium on its own official page!

https://security.stackexchange.com/...

You don't need to trust us. Trust Google, they are telling you legally if you want to listen.

Also, look up the handful of open bugs on the Debian but tracker, where known people, with name and faces (I've met some on conferences), showcase and share how Chromium calls home and sends encrypted data. They share their Wireshark logs.

https://bugs.debian.org/...

Look up how Debian removed Chromium for a time, until some of it got removed upstream.

And all of this doesn't mean that Google cannot re-introduce it or add different approaches in new updates.

Plus, Google actively creates and pushes for their "standards" via Chrome(ium), which allows them to push for even more surveillance.

In addition, Chromium is not a community project. It's developed behind closed doors, with a secret roadmap, and a code dump happens on release. That's no way to develop the 90% of web browser market that society needs in this day and age. But, don't think you will care about that, do you? you are happy with papa Google for the foreseeable.

She weighted 2 kilos more than allowed the day before, putting her over 50, even almost making it to 53 which would be 2 weight classes over.

They put her in dehydration, diet, "trash bag" running to get all sweat out, a Sauna in the morning of the weight-in (but she wasn't sweating anymore), they removed blood from her, and as a last measure, cut her hair.

She failed.

She needed IV injections right after the moment of the weight-in by the committee. She then was hospitalized and remains hospitalized. It seems that luckily she is fine.

Disqualification is there to prevent countries pushing their athletes through these ordeals, which have long-term consequences on their health.

They have been moving things to apps so they can substitute piecemeal the open source OS with their close sources: https://arstechnica.com/...

That article is 12 years old. It has only gotten worse.

The code needs to maintain the copyrights and authors. They are "mirroring" usernames into their own domain, with mails that dont correspond to the original authors, stealing their contributions.

That stealing copyrighted works would be as illegal for these companies as it is for normal people. Sick and tired of seeing them get away with it.

The idea is to extinguish the other variants, get into a monoculture, and in the future have them completely at Monsanto's will. This product is patented. There's no need for patented grains here. They can be helped through many other means and produces.

I would go with tasks where they get to "hack" or learn about each other. Give them usb sticks, make them put a silly trivia on an encrypted 7z with passwords that are somewhat crackable. Then, take their usbs from them, and distribute them randomly, and let them use jack the ripper or so. Twist, you would have added a virus or something into the USB stick, so they get infected with a "silly pop up" once they start jack the ripper. They get to play, and the exercise will stick with them.

Teach them about 10 minute mails pages, to open a silly account t somewhere.

Make them use a VPN like mullvad or some that you have set up to access a specific page or make web searches. They can notice the difference in content depending on the country they are exiting with. Twist: you control the VPN, provide them at the end with a list of accessed pages so they understand how the vpns do not ensure privacy. Explain simply what a VPN is (tunnel,etc).

We try. We also pivot to open source to try and regain control because it's the only way. We even share our passions with those who ask.

You folks just roll your eyes and put more money on their hands.

Bahasa is incredibly simple. It has no articles, genders, time conjugations or adverbs. You just say "I eat yesterday cake" for example

I tried the app but it doesn’t even have a way to register an account.

That sounds like you tried Element X app, which is beta (it says so everywhere). One should still be using the Element app for now.

they were looking for unmoderated corners, not for places not powered by money and profit. Which I find orthogonal to the comment from OP. That there's some overlap on the end result doesn't mean OP was biased at all.

but they did sound the alarm? Debian took Chromium out of their repos for a time because they found unreported telemetry sent encrypted back to Google. All the info is on the net. You just need to read it.
