Cool.

Do it with Murdoch owned news outlets.

Pretty much.

The general philosophy: they can’t prosecute the entire populous.

If everyone is pirating, they focus on the ones who pirate the worst shit or the ones who pirate the most shit for profit.

In a sea of pirates, you don’t get tagged.

If people stop pirating, the bar for too extreme or too much lowers.

They do pirate the most extreme and the most prolific pirates, however.

A story as old as time.

Same problem that is crippling every human interaction on earth.

Money and greed.

It all goes to “we can do a good thing that will help people or that people will enjoy” or “we can make crap/do horrible things and get another 5 bucks off each of em”, and the latter is always chosen.

Because the world has long since surpassed far beyond 1984 levels of spying on unsuspecting innocent civilians.

As long as you ensure a US based entity is spying on you with it, and not a China based entity, then no.

So the NSA, FBI and CIA are thanking China for assisting in their efforts, right?

I’m on Kbin.

Lemmy (and a whole slew of other federverse instances) content comes across, but their upvotes and downvotes don’t.

If I logged into Fedia or Lemmy and found this thread, I would see different vote counts, but through Kbin, its all upvotes and 0 downvotes.

A man with stocks as savings he needs to liquidate to use is the same as a raccoon with a giant fluffy cloud of cotton candy who will try to wash it when he finally wants to eat it.

Not being downvoted on my end, so alls good.

Lemmings lean towards knuckle dragging, or so my Federverse experience has suggested.

Hey. You rite.

Mark Cuban is my current rich hero.

He is a douche in all of the correct ways.

I made a deeper dig at Trump and Musk who are flexing internet stock like there haven’t been 10 crashes to show us why Ian and Anthony aren’t running for billionaire office this second.

It’s all stock assets, so he IS a billionaire, he just cant access those billions unless he liquidates his stock assets.

Ask Elon.

But don’t bring up that Elon has the FCC on him for the billions of dollars he has gotten out of banks as loans on the collateral of his stock holdings, all the while everyone knowing that the second Elon starts selling his stock holdings, they plummet, and suddenly that collateral drops from billions of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars in value. Because that’s how stocks work. But the rich need to have a way to make their worthless existences spend poor people’s savings accounts.

I’m not an expert by any means, but aparently there is an extremely lucrative market for pre ww2 scrap steel.

Because that iron was made into steel before nuclear bombs and nuclear meltdowns started on earth, the steel emits lower baseline radiation.

That steel is vital for particularly sensitive electronics, mainly stuff like sensors for electron microscopes and medical devices.

Because we have so severely raised ambient radiation in the atmosphere by refining radioactive material and blowing it up, disbursing it into the atmosphere, we can’t make steel that is suitable for these applications anymore. We depend on repurposing pre nuclear age steel, which is running out. Fast.

The moon has a shit ton of iron that is exposed to solar radiation, but has not been exposed to refined terrestrial radiation.

If we bring refined radioactive material to the moon, we are likely to contaminate the iron there too.

Hope that helped.

The greatest value the moon potentially holds is raw iron that hasn’t been exposed to Earth’s terrestrial radiation since we started refining radioactive material.

Of course the first thing they want to do is send refined radioactive material to the moon.

To collaborate more effectively with the NSA and CIA.

I have been informed my SSN, DOB, and payment information have been “compromised” at least 50 times in my life.

The GOAT.

Hawaii did it first with the Toas-tite.

I’m sure there is lineage of this uncrustable type of sandwich that predates the Toas-tite.

Doesn’t mean I don’t want to eat it.
