TikTok is the test case for Trump’s platform nationalism: only US firms may mine data, reap profits and rule the digital empire.”<br/><br/>“Mr Trump demands tribute … control over digital infrastructure, forced access for hi-tech rentiers and suppression of rival technologies. The realpolitik is that you can sell to American consumers – but only if you buy into American rules, platforms and financial dependencies.”<br/><br/>“Mr Trump made clear, the revenues are earmarked not for public investment or industrial policy, but for tax cuts that benefit the wealthy. In this regime, tariffs redistribute upward: the poor pay more, so billionaires pay less.”<br/><br/>“If allies want to trade, they must also license Google Cloud services, buy Boeing jets and resist Chinese influence. Trade, technology and security are bundled into a single, rent-seeking foreign policy.”<br/><br/>“[Other global economies must reduce dependence on the US]– by deepening regional integration … investing in technological autonomy … In the long run, strategic cooperation – not bilateral concession – is the only durable answer to tariff imperialism.”<br/><br/><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/04/the-guardian-view-on-donald-trumps-tariff-ultimatum-tribute-for-access-to-americas-empire">https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/04/the-guardian-view-on-donald-trumps-tariff-ultimatum-tribute-for-access-to-americas-empire</a> 2025-04-05T14:20:01Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsx28d8vpwdryuaws76x8k66t7ulaphqvqdycmlhk7utyl88all2lgzypkvgd7xsrypcgepm9qhlpxk2r9j4v4trxwdtpvtt5ymvnndmzm0za35vdw There will be a lot of necessary debate over Mozilla’s original mistake and this hopeful change.

My bridge is starting to be followed by spammy bots over there and because of Bluesky’s incomplete federation behaviors I have no control over that, no screening of follows, no blocks.<br/><br/>Brid.gy is a great service. It’s too bad that design excellence from the Fediverse can’t be matched with some basic moderation effort on Bluesky.<br/><br/>If the followers/following graphs of those bots are any indication of Bluesky’s “growth” they have a huge problem growing. 2024-12-01T00:21:16Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs8zfy8le9u0vyy56lex22tgq39pfzf738sztfga89nptwqes445kqzypkvgd7xsrypcgepm9qhlpxk2r9j4v4trxwdtpvtt5ymvnndmzm0z5466rc “Are you being scammed?” sign on the side of Bitcoin ATM is peak cognitive dissonance<br/> <img src="https://fediscience.org/system/media_attachments/files/113/573/904/795/669/402/original/e669613102a3b6b0.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://fediscience.org/system/media_attachments/files/113/573/915/995/175/705/original/4fdc34090044f235.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://fediscience.org/system/media_attachments/files/113/573/917/031/767/387/original/7b0de0b5d25c9dbd.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-11-30T21:08:27Z https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsyfmld6yjlp523cks2dv98kge3rrf8ypcqfmqvk2re3pyw0vqc49gzypkvgd7xsrypcgepm9qhlpxk2r9j4v4trxwdtpvtt5ymvnndmzm0zgcp2p2 I see a lot of university types here, professors, researchers, librarians, graduate students, various offices … <br/><br/>Where are the undergraduates? Are any here? <br/><br/>I’d enjoy hearing from undergrads why you choose the Fediverse. Thinking about how I promote this place to my students.
