It needs to be easier for users to leave big tech platforms, or to use other tools to interact with their data without leaving entirely. https://act.eff.org/action/tell-your-representative-to-support-a-more-interoperable-future

Conservatism doesn't admit the edge cases of humanity. Which you can see in the UK with the hatred towards those that don't fit the considered Norm, especially those further down the economic tree.

Just went to a shop for the first time since the #pandemic #restrictions were lifted. I was glad to see that most people were still wearing masks and carrying on as before.

@Co Thanks for your post. Yes the open source point is so important, not least for transparency and independent auditing. Also you are absolutely correct. ML is in most contexts a much more suitable term than AI.

Well back in time Mahatma Gandhi the face of freedom in India and Rabindranath Tagore the most influential writer and educationist as well as the first Indian Nobel Prize winner were kind of in a friendly though strained relationship as Tagore while praising most of Gandhi's idea but one thing he didn't accepted was Gandhi's ideology of strong Swadeshi (self-made or domestic) as he saw that the the new India shall learn the good things from abroad(west) as well as see the negative side of it's culture and traditions. Basically Tagore was against strong nationalism.
But the difference in thinking didn't break apart Tagore and Gandhi as not liking a specific idea didn't made them to dislike the whole person.
I talk about this cause now I see that even a slightest change in views makes us here go apart to extreme
