If I may, might privacy be both a personal, individual endeavor and a collective endeavor?
On the personal level, can’t we foil the corporate intrusion by choosing apps in the Fediverse?
And on the collective level, can’t promotion of the Fediverse help?
I’m aware that city and county records often contain my street address and that doesn’t bother me. I’ve got to pay taxes and vote.
But I look at it this way: that’s my front facing public identity. Basically the one I use at work that gets a paycheck. Not private. And yes, that’s a pity and that war is lost, but I lose nothing because of that.
But then there’s my identity that shares the goals of global groups that chafe against injustice and oppression. All that work separated from my public identity by multiple barriers. Personably not perfect privacy — watch The Conversation by Francis Ford Coppola for a discussion of perfect privacy.
Is this kind of approach practical and one that means we haven’t lost?
There are literally twice as many Palestinians living abroad in Europe and the rest of the world than live in isreal. It’s a tightly knit community even so. People that stay there are making this choice for other reasons than that they can’t travel.
I’m not sure it helps to say this.
But something motivated the two million Palestinians who have left to leave.
This has been going on for decades. There are thriving palistinian communities in California, New York, several other US states and in various countries. It just seems that there are a lot of folks living good lives abroad. My question is, considering that this kind of horrific behavior by Israel was inevitable based on their hideous previous behavior, why haven’t they all left before now?
It can be an acquired taste but I think it’s worth it in the long run. If you haven’t seen Trouble with Tribbles or the one in which Spock confounds AI and makes it destroy itself, you haven’t lived.
These always make me happy. I’m so glad I’ve joined Trek people. You put it all back on my radar and are preparing me for a rewatch. Should I start with TOS or jump right to TNG?
I was late to the SUITS party and thought this – but in a moment of WCGW, someone who didn’t know I’m only in season 4 dropped a big spoiler. Don’t read all the comments but do watch Suits – it’s fun.
Thank you… and please pardon my newness… but you are suggesting two actions here? Can you please kindly break these down? (Sorry this is so cringy but I just need guidance.)
