In what universe was my comment promoting any for-profit? Are you mentally deficient?

It's gonna be awesome in 20 years to hear of Reagans impeachment while the crops and natural world are collapsing. Progress!

The public to private theft is infinite

I have zero doubt the lawyers (probably contractors) involved with writing up the contracts aren't also in the pockets of the "competing" corporations.

Even if it wasn't defined in the contract, the competitors knew of each others involvement and made no effort to address a very obvious engineering necessity (probably brpught up by engineers at both companies) — management (at the very least) let this happen on purpose, as a strategic decision.

It's all part of the hyper efficiency of privatizing profits and regulatory capture.

They don't contribute engineers out of the kindness of their hearts. They do it for entirely selfish reasons — to have a large influence in industry standards, and the competitive advantages that enables.

Do you also believe Google created Chrome for "freedom", instead of to gain a competitive advantage in web and ad tech standards?

*The problem with conservatives is they are fundamentally selfish.

FTFY 👍

While I would generally agree, this sounds like failing Telcos seeking to use the government to steal cash from Big Tech companies, and attacking net neutrality to achieve it.

I haven't heard of Telco's anywhere failing so hard they go this route. It's either corruption &/or sheer incompetence. Either way, most Telcos are just as scummy as any big tech company.

There is 1 way to stop login attempts. Use an alias provider (e.g. simplelogin.io), and change the account emails to a randomly generated alias.

Even if you used the same password everywhere, as long as the email/username for the account is randomly generated the password is essentially useless.

Probably also a massive brain drain to boot.

There isn't even a fucking "cloud"! Why do they lie to us so brazenly?
