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.

That’s true, I didn’t use the word wrong, I only implied it.
Sorry for the confusion.

Yes that’s all true. But it’s a seperate problem that’s happening anyway, 230 or otherwise.

Yes that’s why repealing is the wrong thing to do.
As I said amend it.

The Fediverse doesn’t have any black box algorithms that recommend content. With the flat repeal of 230 it would be in danger. With my amendment it wouldn’t.

I don’t know it for a fact, I just know it’s true, that Google collects and logs every byte of data that goes through its servers.

I never mentioned repeal and replace.
As I said, don’t repeal it, amend it.

Those who are harmed decide. 230 is about protecting companies from law suits filed by users.

The whole “end of free speech” issue comes not so much from the government sensor really (that’s still firmly restricted by the first amendment) but from companies themselves banning any content or accounts that might get them sued.

But if that risk is limited only to what they recommend outside a user’s direct boolean search and filters, they can still host content without concern. But they need to be sure they know and approve exactly what their algorithms are pushing onto people.

What crisis did capitalism have in the 60s & 70s?
I’ve never heard of that before.

As far as I know that was the best years this country has known. Top tax rates were ~90%. The middle class was larger and more prosperous than anytime before or since. We were making huge strides in science and tech, as well as social progress.

But the greedy NeoLiberals fealt that while things were good and getting better for almost everyone, they were being held back by all the taxes and regulations that helped the unworthy “poors” at their expense.

Section 230 doesn’t need to be repealed, it only needs to be amended.

It basically says that online platforms can’t be held liable for the content their users post.

However that was put in place before black box algorithms were put in charge of peoples feeds, and literally hacking our brains to keep us outraged, afraid, and engaged.

It needs to be amended to hold companies liable for content their algorithms recommend to people. It’s one thing to allow people to post whatever they want. That needs to preserved. But if a site "recommends " something that’s harmful, they should be held responsible for that recommendation.

I recently discovered ReviOS. I just did a clean re-install of Windows with it. And its been great for the last few days. No dumb bloatware or spyware. Though not so privacy crazy as to break things. Supposedly it’s changes can’t be rolled back with updates due to the techniques they use. We’ll see

That can work then. I might try it.

Yah. This doesn’t work if you are scrolling through several dozen apps in the app drawer. They all look too much alike.

But your saying Peertube should have all the forum functionality of Lemmy, and the endless short video scroll of Loops.

rgluilis suggested a generic server idea, where the media and experience differentiating is done at the client app level. That could work well. But that’s an entirely different concept and structure.
