I agree it’s not that simple, but it’s just a proposed possible beginning to a solution. We could refine it further and then give the vet refined idea as a charter for a lawyer to them draft up as a proper proposal that could then be present to a relative governmental body to consider.
But few people like to put in that work. Even politicians don’t - that’s why corporations get so much of what they want - they do that and pay people to do that for them.
That said, view count isn’t the same as membership. This solution wouldn’t be perfect.
But it would be better than nothing at all, especially now with the advent of AI turning the firehouse of lies into the tsunami of lies. Currently one side only grows stronger in their opportunity for causing havoc and mischief while the other, quite literally, does nothing and sometimes advocates for doing nothing. You could say it’s a reflection of the tolerance paradox that we’re seeing today.

Rick Rolling the meaning is pranking someone.
Badger Badger Badger it’s the humor of the song and animation, and the unexpectedness of the mushroom, plus some absurdism of course.
Nyan Cat is the closest, in that it’s just absurdist, but also it had a catchy song and was art.
6-7 is pure absurdism. There isn’t a meaning to it, and it’s lack of meaning is the joke. It’s meaningless is so absolute that the brain defaults to base pattern recognition to give it any semblance of meaning.
And I’m not saying that’s bad. I’m just stating that it’s literally a meaningless joke. Some may ascribe it’s rise to prevalence as part of modernized brain rot culture, itself an extremist version of absurdist humor that began to rise in the 80s with Gen X and exploded with millennial, but evolved through very compressed short form content.
To me, I think it’s maybe a prelude to an increase in dark humor again (and indeed we saw a rise for a moment in which 6-7 was given a dark twist with the mixing of SCP fiction with it’s focus on voidness, emphasizing the insanity of the meaninglessness of the meme, but also the emptiness of everything) similar to millennials, since I think Gen Alpha already sees how bad the situation is for their generation even at a young age and will eventually perhaps evolve to a mixture of dark nihilistic violent humor; the meaningless of 6-7 it’s expression of nihilism in a humorous way.
But that’s just a theory. A meme theory.

They weren’t.
6-7 is literally not meant to have meaning. It’s meaning is that it doesn’t have meaning. That’s the joke.

Proton isn’t social media.
If you can’t understand why big = bad in terms of the dissemination of misinformation, then clearly we’re already at an impass on further discussion of possible numbers and usage of statistics and other variables in determining potential regulations.
- Comment on Trains cancelled over fake bridge collapse image 5 days ago:
Just make the law so it only affects things with x-amount of millions of users or x-percent of the population number minimum. You could even have regulation tiers toed to amount of active users, so those over the billion mark are regulated the strictest, like Facebook.
That’ll leave smaller networks, forums, and businesses alone while finally giving some actually needed regulations to the large corporations messing with things.

They do even better - they sell the idea of privacy. Then they’re free to double dip.
Or triple dip if selling in a place like China.

The problem he had is the same problem some scientists face today - forgetting to / being unable to also invent a way to mass produce it.
Pressure doors for example used way more resources and labor than today’s automatic doors.
Vending machines were limited on what they could vend and again, weren’t ready to build.
Not to mention all this type of information back then had to be hand copied, as blueprints &tc didn’t exist either, so any scribe errors would hinder spread further.

I think it depends on whether you work on actual defense systems rather than assault systems.
Anti missile systems for example.

If you have issues with mint, try something based on Debian or Fedora rather than Ubuntu like Mint is.
For Fedora I recommend Bazzite if you do gaming and nothing too technical. Flatpaks make it easy to find and install software without messing things up. Otherwise Fedora Kiinoite.
For Debian I recommend Debian itself really. Also runs very well on much older machinery.
