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

For us! No need to tell her

Can you post your analysis for the rest of us.

Say who?

If actions depend on our thoughts

They don’t

Where did I “begin” … where will I “end”

“Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here’s Tom with the weather.” - Bill Hicks

I you word

Your actions are real.
Your thoughts are all in your head.

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?

Then you have a central org you need to trust with the money. It’s not really distributed or federated system anymore.

Whatever the term, if the coins can be exchanged back into a real currency or goods, they have real value, and as such they’re as good cash.

Wikipedia:

Pachinko balls won from games cannot be exchanged directly for money in the parlor, nor can they be removed from the premises or exchanged with other parlors. However, they can be legally traded to the parlor for so-called “special prize” tokens (tokushu keihin (特殊景品) [ja]), which can in turn be “sold” for cash to a separate vendor off-premises.

That’s still not going to work without either a blockchain or central trusted management org of some kind.

So if they have real cash value, how do you secure a distributed currency system without a blockchain? How do you stop the creation of fraudulent tokins?

I’m not sure what problem this is trying to solve exactly.
Why not just a simple subscription to your home instance/server?
What would people get from trading these tokins, can they cash them out?
If not blockchain how do you guarantee or secure these tokins being traded across instance/servers?

It depends on what you change more often.

If you change your provider more often, than eSIMs are fine. You don’t have to wait for anything in the mail, or go to a store.

If you (me) keep your provider for a couple decades, a physical SIM card can be moved to any new phone at any time, without even needing to talk to your provider. Never mind asking them to approve your new niche little phone they’ve never heard of, and don’t know will work (it will)

They do tend to be more expensive. But not extremely so. Maybe 20-40% more than a consumer equivalent.

I’ve decided my next TV will be a Digital Sinage Display.

Not the kind if thing you can do with an extension.
Every broker has their own process. Some even require actual physical letters be sent to remove your data.

There are hundreds of those data brokers. And new ones opening as others close every week. Doing it yourself, and keeping up with it on a regular basis? That’s nearly a full time job. Nobody does that.

There are several companies that do this.
Even Mozilla did until this month.

DeleteMe seems not to be the best. They might sell data to places while getting it removed from other places.

I just signed up with Incogni which is one of the biggest.

They have to get to streaming services.
Once there, streaming quality rips are easy to find.
You’re getting it for free, be patient.

Just link directly to the audio file?
This seems like too obvious an answer though. Maybe I’m not sure what you’re asking.
