I believe they’re referring to the harvesting and sale of user data.

I would say none.
Maybe to be a member of a species requires at least a history of a single breeding pair?

Speciesist

First: your comment appears to be a reply to them not me. I think that’s where the confusion came from.

Second: You seem to be conflating listening to ideas with supporting them.

Third: Blocking places with bad ideas doesn’t silence the people there or eliminate their ideas. It contributes to their isolation and echo chamber. Often more then yours. You in fact end up helping make them worse. Which of course is worse for everyone.

The former often feels like the later.
Even more so when you’re not used to it.

Building an echo chamber isn’t something done intentionally. Well… Sometimes it is.
It’s most often created by avoiding people you find annoying, toxic, etc. As long as you keep up that reasoning you eventually only interact with people who mostly agree with you. You’re blinding yourself to counter opinions. The definition of an echo chamber.

What chemistry batteries does it use?

Barter, gift economy, whatever you call the direct trade of goods, is the alternative to money. And it only works in small local groups, where everyone knows who to trust and who not to.

Money looong predated capitalism. Every society that grew beyond a few hundred people eventually starts using some form of money. Acient Mesopotamia had actual accountants who tracked money and goods more than 5000 years ago.

If things go back to a barter system, it’s already over.
Society has collapsed. Billions have died.

The law, known as S.B. 13, was overly broad and related to activities protected by free speech rights, he wrote in a 12-page decision signed on Tuesday. He said the measure allowed the state to penalize companies “for all manner of protected expression concerning fossil fuels.”

That makes sense.

Not a professional anything climate. Just grew up along the Hudson.

It isn’t like most rivers you might think of. It’s very deep and slow moving. The salty ocean water goes quite a ways inland. Even as far north as Poughkeepsie where I lived, I don’t ever remember it freezing across.

It comes down to two fundamental conceptions of what the Fediverse should be.

One is a single account, all access, everything does anything any other thing does, kind of vision.

The other is a, we do our thing, you do yours, we can do together where appropriate, kind of vision.

I fall into the later. I have no problem with multiple accounts for different kinds of content and entertainment. You may fall closer to the former.

Oooh…
That was unclear. It sounded like you were talking about posting.

Why put the summary in the comments instead of the post text?

Pinterest is their own publicly traded company.
They aren’t owned by Meta.

I found Pinry and Pinetta. Though they seem to be kinda defunct without much recent activity.

Pixelfed allows you to make collections of posts, kinda like Pinterest.

That’s all I found with a simple search.

Is Discord social media? Social sure, but not media really.
It always seemed to be more a live communication/chat app to me.

He’s a special case. He’s been a Trekie since he was young. He’s wanted to be a Klingon forever. He might be doing this for scale rate. And I’d be surprised if he’s on more than a season. If he is, it’ll only be a few episodes each.

Sure she’s an Oscar winner. But that was a long time ago. And Oscars are never a guarantee of future work or pay rate.

For nearly a decade now she’s only done a few guest spots on series, some supporting roles in small movies, a few voice roles. This show is the biggest thing she done in quite a while.

While Paramount+ may be a 3rd tier streaming service, this is Start Trek, and it’s got a real budget behind it.

A new Star Trek (2027) that just continues from SNW would be great!

Reboot’s are overly maligned. And continuity is a nievely harmful fantasy. You realise TOS got up to warp 14 or something right? It could do with a new version.

P. S. I’m being serous. I’m not playing your childish reverse psychology nonsense game.

Couldn’t each one decide how much to charge and pay for their tokens? Like a swarm of countless centralized currencies, rather than a single decentralized one?
