One of us. One of us. :-)

The trailer for Koe no katachi (A Silent Voice) is powerful and conveys its theme without spoiling anything (imho):

“The man’s an arse. He’s really boring. He won’t stop talking about Sartre.”

That’s why I prefer Ruby. And maybe get Precious involved for a coconut threeway. :-P

In the end, open communication platforms should be treated as what they truly are: infrastructure, that is too important to be managed by corporate hands.

It can be built by competing corps and maintained by competing corps. But management has to be kept in neutral hands (=financed by our taxes and overseen by some rotating government body - but otherwise kept away from corpo and gov influence). So pretty much what should be standard for housing, water, electricity, insurance, banks, health care, mail, landlines, cable and some important media.

Alas, instead all of the above is getting privatized to the max - so it’s looking pretty bleak for any major communication platforms.

But a man can dream…
