@aral at this point basically all my projects are stalling due to lack of funding...
And since #NUCbook and other projects go against #SurveillanceCapitalism, #PlannedObsolescence and/or other #Rentseeking they won't get funded.

@manjusrii #BULLSHIT!
#LinkTax only serves as #RentSeeking by big media corporations and doesn't improve #journalism at all!
It's like with any commercially licensed content:
If I - like #ALDI - don't want to pay €€€€ in music #licensing fees, I can jist chpose not to play any music at all or evidently only play music not covered by collection agencies.
It's that simple!

Likewise #ESPN did block #ISPs in the U.S. that don't pay their #racketteering fees for accessing.

Instead of @letsencrypt, we should've pushed for #CAcert since the latter one actually does #DueDiligence and is harder to penetrate or even abuse than getting an EV-SSL - cert fraudulently via #SocialHacking...

Espechally since #Autodesk and #Adobe killed said licenses as pure retaliation against the courts ruling that they've to accept #UsedSales without any compensation (aka. #rentseeking) - just like with physical appliances!

Eg. the UK don't have state govts.
Could #localCouncils manage #townPlanning as a #federation.
StateGovt functions can likely be replaced by Committees of a greater number of national MPs.
State Govt have become corrupted, engaging in #rentSeeking and known to take #politicalDonations from #realEstate and #propertyDeveloper groups through #SuperPac's like the #PropertyCouncil.
What do you think? Are State Govts replaceable?
