[Edited Message Follows] As old age and forced retirement grease my slide away from actual "technical" competence, always doubtful in the case of a technical writer, I lose touch more and more with the breathless pace of IP innovation.
The right are responding with a Big John giant groan to the challenge of liberal censorship, and the hot and horny "libertarian" entrepreneurs of blockchain are beaver-busy developing alternatives to the censorable Internet. No word on the environmental toll--maybe without the "mining" the actual cost of all that electricity won't drive us to our knees? Hush that stuff. Like, "Baby, there is no such thing as society." https://www.coindesk.com/handshake-goes-live-with-an-uncensorable-internet-browser Coindesk, the breathless website hosting the referenced puff piece contains such gems as this, in a piece on Gamestop and the wondrousness of Elon Musk and his kind: The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is raising the crypto rallying flag and ex-Facebook billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya is trading along with Reddit for quick profits, decentralized hedge fund and all ( https://www.coindesk.com/gamestop-real-market-manipulators ). This isn’t about how much money you have. This is about a mindset and a framing of the world. It’s about who you are and who you are not. And it’s about what you did and did not do. Barf-bag, anyone? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
