Would this also be the keystone to preventing AI from “owning everything”?

Shit tons of original work self-hosted and self-copyrighted would disallow AI (pending current and future rulings) from having ownership of the original works these websites provide.

Ive heard rumblings of an “Angelfire Reboot” or “GeoCities 2.0” emerging in recent years, and I assume that’s akin to what is being discussed, yeah?

Its both, actually. Ublock is client side and only available on Firefox, PiHole is network wide and available for anyone who can setup a simple DNS server.

I was pretty specific as to what advantages PiHole has over Ublock alone.

Please re-read the above comment and lmk if I can clarify anything.

Please see my comment parallel to yours.

Please ignore the other two commenters…

Adblockers block ads at the user level, meaning you have to manage the adblocker for each device in your ecosystem.

PiHole and similar DNS based ad blocking technologies OTOH block ads at the network level and only needs one install location to manage content for all devices you have on your network.

This means with PiHole you can have one set of custom rules that block all ads at the network level by using a set of pre-loaded and customizeable DNS blocklists. OR! you can install Ublock on 2 devices in your house and let the other 7 devices that have no access to adblockers (like IoT devices) be subject to the atrocity that is modern advertising.

Additionally, adblockers in browsers can eventually be shut off. See: Google Chrome and Ublock Origin.

Story of my life…

PiHole exists!

So i cant sell it, therefore not functional

Administration has little to do with democracy and everything to do with capitalism.

They have been carving out education dollars to add more administrators over the last 30 years,leading to budgets strained for actual teaching while increasing the amount of bureaucracy.

All this just to ensure the populace doesn’t get too smart and start thinking of implementing new systems like sortition and ranked choice.

Im not sure i agree here. Liquid democracy seems the worst option as people would sell their votes to proxy brokers.

Sortition is more subject to bribery after being in office.

How do you figure? The current system is THE bribe system, there’s zero chance sorittion is worse.

Which systems are you referring to?

Saturnalia Gang rise up! Our time is now!

The laws are currently written by lawyers for bankers

Changing to a system where laws are written by actual humans instead of demonoid homunculi will alleviate a lot of the pain revolving around the apathy and complexity pain points.

Sortition is also an option, imo

Can you transfer your game to someone else? If not, then its not functionally yes either.
