@engelbart So positively I blame or attribute the "eventually" result as both about waiting for others to do the dirty on people and also people themselves not defending / doing something about it (not protecting / locking account / no panic)...

It's like Orwell might have wrote about it but people can take it both as a script (to use against others or accept as probable future) or TRY change things (do something at the least about it - for example:)

► talk about it
► ask admin like @freemo about adding manually a disclaimer to the Mastodon footer saying:
"User profiles and data is not for scraping without express permission in their specific user description and giving them notice of intent"
► asking Eugene / adding github or gitlab request etc

If it's not in your bio (like mine) to say NO CONSENT in multiple forms, then yes asking "when" is on you too (no attack on you).

Just remember they will never want to protect you, so it's also naive to ever take this position (not you but just saying in general).

I will check my own bio now as a mutual check as it was a good question to point out!

@masek Ok I like the answers on this thread - 🦄

And in addition I offer my answer that the unicorn eats the working IT security process. ❗ 🤯 ❗ 🦄

So as soon as you have a working IT security process the unicorn(s) start eating it... HINT: Unicorns multiply

Some Facts / Mentions from the Wachowski "Brothers" now Sisters !

Transgender themes in The Matrix films...

█ Years after the release of The Matrix, both of the Wachowskis came out as transgender women.

The red pill has been compared with red estrogen pills.

█ Morpheus's description of the Matrix creating a sense that something is fundamentally wrong, "like a splinter in your mind", has been compared to gender dysphoria.

█ In the original script, Switch was a woman in the Matrix and a man in the real world, but this idea was removed.

█ In a 2016 GLAAD Media Awards speech, Lilly Wachowski said:

"There's a critical eye being cast back on Lana and I's (sic) work through the lens of our transness. This is a cool thing because it's an excellent reminder that art is never static."

█ In 2020, Lilly said The Matrix was intended as an allegory for gender transition, but that "the corporate world wasn't ready".

She said it was "all about the desire for transformation but it was all coming from a closeted point of view", but that she did not know "how present my transness was in the background of my brain" when the Wachowskis were writing it.

█ In an interview with Variety, Reeves said he did not know the film was an allegory for transgender identity during production.

█ Visual effects (Bullet time scene etc). Manex Visual Effects used a cluster farm running the Unix-like operating system FreeBSD to render many of the film's visual effects.

Weird how it's "good" people need to pay for stuff sometimes because it's not great overall for people to just pay for all this kind of energy consumption / decay you could say / the rain forest in some ways etc with pointless task (even mixed with even the best reasons)...

just being honest but not saying I know you either and how you use tech specifically, just more that nowadays seems many more seem to be able and enabled to mis-spend as others enable us to do 'more' and achieve measurable less...

But would like to hear you out if this pulls any strings of feelings inside you or if you see it in others as they may be more dedicated at these kinds of "waste" / different aims...

#Servers / #DataCentres / #Electricity / #Data / #Chips / #Resources #Computing #Power # Copmputers #Waste #Time ?

Neo (the name) means itself as noun (or adjective) something similar to:

New, revised new version

I missed that all this time or at least not as consciously remember linking Neo name to actually knowing he is the 6th or 7th generation / iteration that is coming through The Matrix and also allowed by Matrix to keep Zion as supply of people going! (I think I got this part right am re-reading now!!!)

█ Clever the Wachowskis Brothers either way!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wachowskis

#Matrix #film got me again with it's cleverness.

█ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Matrix

Obviously I could be dumb but easy to miss the depth of Matrix not just by this example but others I mentioned before, usually from reading the Wiki and realising the real story!...

#Tech today seems more interested in enabling others to mis-spend and consume - regardless of meaning in the world... #BigTech at least.

More gigabytes, file sizes, TV screen size etc.

Just something they can sell with whatever displaced cost elsewhere (Energy, Land, Water, Chips, Data etc).

Others who enable us to waste money and resources, for their own benefit at the end while increasing our bad habits with more and more temptation and more misunderstanding that it 'might' be "good" for this and that... but for growing people together can be exactly the same near-0 progress.

Can be mixed but am I right by you here?... that we over-shot practical uses between us and really could stick to the basics like Mastodon and almost neo-2000 type stuff ?

If you're willing, you're also able...
I'm more than fucking willing.

@cyrilpedia Sharing space and cross-breeding creativity and mutuality is what I dream of...

Both doing our own thing and merging as we create... nice @madparreira.bsky.social / madalenaparreira.com

This is also a reason why online fans (true people) turn sour.

It's not just that the fan is crazy or idols are either....

When communication stops 'coincidently' when questioned about their usage of what they are opposite against... then trouble can start to build, as people build on problematic platforms and methods. Again opposite to what THEY talk opposite against.

Even down-to-earth people who have experience in schools and tech (MIGHT MENTION ACCOUNT HERE BUT FEEL IT WILL PUBLICISE THEM INSTEAD) who spending their whole account complaining, claiming to represent or search for better ways and want to practice other principle(s)... BUT SIMPLY DON'T !

THEY ALSO GIVE IN AND USE BAD THINGS! 🤦

Some fans forget these people or the wrong, but I think true fans to better ways (while not expecting perfection) can legitimately hold people accountable and yes try to do things themselves if not with hypocrites (people that talk only to use you).

If you complain about #AI or BIGTECH #Apple #Spotify BUT THEN USE THEM FOR YOUR PODCAST - YOUR CRITICISM AND FLACK IS MEASURABLY JUSTIFIED - MEASURABLY.

We need others to check our own principles and claims... Often it's not terribly hard and if you fall into the 'I don't have time' excuse (which is a mixture of other things which is why we need others to help us get into better multiplayer loops) then take the flack willingly... because we can see remotely you obviously have a lot of time, and do a lot of the same mono-stuff

(if we are to solve anything / do better practices, otherwise carry on you hypocrite).

Not just using people and throwing them after measurable critique and mutual principles are presented well enough (not hate).
