I’m sorry, first of all, for the egregious typos in my last remark. I won’t be fixing them or future typos, lol.

Second, vaccines work by every person in a network being a less-weak node with less attack surface than if the whole network is without. Every person that armors up is protecting the whole system, just a little bit, until the network is complete with less attack surface.

Privacy restrictions, antivirus, healthy infosec, follow similar principals as masks and shots in arms, and you have to start studying how the threats respond to shifting attack surface.

At the point the effort to execute on the securing behavior is lowered, adoption improves, but at the point it conflicts with competing values you have to start marketing to people to do the right thing. Selling them on collective interest and on self interest. It’s ironic.

How you do ANY of this, well, I can only speculate. I come from a backwards country where 1/3 of our population successfully installed a national health director that admits to not believing in germ theory, and I half expect civilian encryption to be outlawed in the next 18 months.

You’d better believe marketing execs and specialists in branding will divide and conquer market segments of apathetic typical people.

Addicts in recover programs can call the general population of non-addicts ‘normies’; people that have been marginalized for neurodivergent thinking often call the mainstream population of neurotypicals ‘normies’ etc.

Gatekeeping by commonly accepted language across diverse circles only serves for your own purity testing instead of focusing on the core issue of how to sell people on exercising their own basic self-interest.

Sounds like something normies would say. 🤣

Hard disagree.

You’re basically studying viral pathology and immunology at that point. Remember how restaurant little can be for making and for vaccinations in American culture?

On top of it taking the slightest effort … We basically have to settle the solutions and then invite or incentivize them into it, which is hard when you’re against disinformation networks with better fundling.

Not to say it’s hopeless. Just that the incentives in a highly individualized society captured under surveillance capitalism are misaligned.

They got you searching for the thin line between entertainment and war.

Succinct, says the quiet part out loud, and it has me exploring my own assumptions.

Thanks for being a part of this community.

You are describing in-game settings.

Folks are recommending you check up make sure the deck isn’t making ALL games more jagged with higher level settings, as described.

Philosophically agree with you, and would love to see it okay out exactly as you say.

The problem with incorporating a business is that all humans therein pretty much escape liability.

The only value is the assets and intellectual property that can be sold off to another organization. Releasing all the proprietary data brings that value down to zero.

As usual, our addiction to market capitalism means the world is pay-to-play, and the risks will always remain higher than you or I would like or need.

Maybe because it’s got a CPU and memory, and because ewaste harms us all?

I’m all in favor of upcycling.

This is just the beginning, and the tariffs are going to hurt more than most realize. I’m shocked they were able to eat the other 5-15% in their increased cost.

That sounds really rough, buddy, I know how you feel, and that project you’re working is really complicated.

Would you like to order a delicious, refreshing Coke Zero™️?

I’m not actually blaming the platform. It’s up to the participants, us, to make it substantial, true, and valuable.

Thx for clarifying, I was actually alarmed.

Lemmy is going to just reddit itself every once in a while, it seems.
