Use a form attached to a spreadsheet FTLoG! What a finicky way to dunce your job!

I paid for Lynda.com, and it could have easily taken in more business if YouTube wasn’t working so hard for Google ads. There are a lot of paid (and free) services that suffer because of YouTubes ad-money business model.

Netflix could use the extra business. There are plenty of services failing to thrive while YouTube exists. Peertube would be wide open if YouTube went the way of most of Google’s stable of apps. PeerTube is wide open even if YouTube doesn’t go away anyway.

People genuinely hate ads. It’s a high degree of enshitification. YouTube could divide into paid content and free content in a simple Freemium model.

Or, add third tier with ads, which any user can opt out of in the same way contributers can. I’d be happy to click subscribe on an ad free experience with less content available to me.

Or, add an option for a couple of free tier items per month, week, or day. Like Medium’s business model.

It’s not hard to stop sucking!

Putting people on autopilot. The MS way!

A lot of blind courage is also missing. People used to answer to a lot of blind requests in a way that demanded a leap of faith and an effort to establish their own character. It also had a healthy dose of just wait and see. These days people can weasel out of uninformed situations quite a lot. So, we lean to shallow decision models with fewer good intentions accordingly.

You’re expending resources for greater intelligence with diminishing returns. At some point you’re killing yourself, so hopefully you’ll acquire enough intelligence to end the button cycle.

Imagine life without concern and high expectations your dreams will be profitable. No wonder money makes money.

The more of us that take the hit the fewer people just going along.

I caught a trespasser the other day that said it wasn’t him. Totally believed him too /s

It does make sense in terms of working in a box for military awareness of enemy combatants. No expert, but that is something we’ve seen before.

Last I checked, a military coup is being invaded by your own military, and it’s not even over yet. Rebels are cast as horrible bush people that keep trying to gain a foothold.

But, that nation was a member of ASEAN. If ASEAN had put together a security force to restore the people to sovereignty I’m pretty sure the only country that would cry foul would be China.

The biggest problem being that no amount of diplomacy will ever matter. ASEAN believing diplomacy will work is either being an accomplice or a joke.

There’s nothing said here means anything but business as usual for an ongoing military onslaught in Myanmar.

ASEAN stands in the way of any regional condemnation that means anything actionable to the people of Myanmar. Diplomacy, fuck! What a joke! ASEAN is just a hegemony manager.

Did nothing at the ASEAN level though. The whole world waited for ASEAN to undo the coup, but apparently that’s not their mission. 50 million people suddenly oppressed by their own military, and ASEAN does nothing?

If ASEAN does nothing it’s unlikely the UN or anyone else will step in.

They didn’t seem to care much when they were the same ASEAN that did nothing to help the people of Myanmar! (Sorry, still butthurt about that).

Ah, good point. The universe hadn’t expanded yet.

Yeah, I’m slipping after 3 days. It’s like putting on beer goggles.

Spam is primarily contained as an illicit act. Normal corporations can’t engage in spam activities without some regulation. Around the world there are limitations on spam. As we know it, unstoppable spam is nothing in comparison to unstoppable heavy hitter DDOS type attacks.

If legal you would have to pay email providers to get out from under it. Think ads!

All the neutrality of a traveling rocket scientist working for the highest bidder.

TIL, unlawful perfidy.

Which is why they’re calling on the International Criminal Court to investigate, no?
