Listener comments!
Greetings, Mark and the Techyon Drives! I just finished the first Techgin of the evening, but there's definitely still room for Techtonic!
Pssst, I’m thinking of Suzy Hotrod too!
I miss pinball. I also miss when I was actually OK at pinball.
Hey, David! Hey, ultradamno! And Webhamster H, DjLOrraine, Carmichael, PR1920, James, WR, herb.nyc, Rich, Bas, all!
The two questions :
How are Giant Monopolies over Tech bad for us ?
How is Tech in itself bad for us ?
Decentralization certainly a specific interest of mine.
Bill of Digital Rights
for We the Citizens of Cyberspace !
Have you _seen_ this 'outside'!? Come on, there are _people_ there.
More seriously: there sought to be room for people like me who _don't_ like all that stuff.
...we are not talking about Corporate commercial decentralization...
hi, Mark and everyone.
Is the green light on?
My little brain is kinda lost, but it sure is sexy talk between mark and guest.
...we *are* talking about Corporate commercial decentralization...
en.wikipedia.org...
"No reason we can't do it": is a relief to hear.

Lovin' it
I have a question. What kind of software would run in the distributed hardware? Linux or something new?
Neil Postman wrote about comparing human anatomy to computer technology…… In “Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology”
...not to mention buttplugs
I do wonder if the hardware evolution is even necessary - I mean we can already request small slices of CPU and RAM in these containerized platforms. Again, maybe I missed some important context.
Also, to answer how do we prevent big-tech from co-opting. Remove the capitalism baby! The k8s I mention above is me trying to build a platform to support the establishment of, management of and communication between worker cooperatives. I'm betting I'm not the only leftist geek on here - we should start talking...
10. Dashboard hibachis
9. Seat belts made of piano wire
8. Windshield replaced with ant farm for kids
7. Strobe headlights make oncoming traffic look like old time movie
6. 50-foot antennas allow you to broadcast while driving
5. Optional front-seat hammocks
4. Wiper fluid reservoir routinely filled with thousand island dressing
3. New York City taxis would be exactly the same
2. The paper Buick
1. Speedometer replaced with electronic voice chanting "Punch it! Punch it!"
Thanks Mark. Night all.
TY Mr. Ackley
Neil Postman gives the example of “virus” to illustrate his point.
Thank you Mark & Dave!!! Peace&LoVe ya’ll!!!
