> However companies can publish information about their products and services only through the database.
Since we're already dreaming, I'd modify this to say companies can publish information about their products and services only on their own website, and the database just links to it.
I wouldn't go that route just in case companies has incentive to obfuscate the information. Forcing them to publish through the database makes them confirm their information to one structure so consumers have easier time searching comparing and deciding. I'd also make publishing of some information mandatory before you can sell to customers.
A lot of the things you listed are already partially true of the EU. I wouldn't exactly call it fully decentralized, but I doubt many Europeans know by heart the name of the current EU president (I don't even know the proper title of the office) and they would fervently reject the notion of Europe as a single “nation”. Despite, I see more and more people (esp. in threads like this one) describing themselves as “European” rather than their nationalities and crediting EU laws and institutions ahead of their national governments.
I find this trend encouraging and I hope that one day we can see ourselves as humans ahead of any artificial groupings we sort ourselves into.
I agree. A better choice of word would have been diligere, meaning to value (verb). Value the user, the data, and the truth. Diligere usorem, data, (et) veritatem.
Further, I'm not sure if the infinitive was the best choice of verb form. It feels to me more applicable as an imperative (thou shalt...), so I think it should be dilige (present imperative) or diligito (future imperative). I don't know Latin well enough to judge which of those two it should be.
No, you are not free to do that. There are billions of humans on the planet. We all can't "live in the forest" without immediately destroying the forests.
I wish you'd try thinking for at least five seconds before commenting. If you are here, then you must be smart-- so, use your brain, man.
Who said we all? If you specifically don't want to live in a capitalist society, you don't have to, there are lots of homesteaders even in the US who live off the land, you can be like them. I'm not being sarcastic, it's an actual suggestion.
I see this meme often but it's true, there's lots of options, not just one society that you cannot leave. Lots of countries on earth that one can move to, as people immigrate already.
If you practiced some media literacy, you'd realize that (a) there is a point to that meme and (b) that there is a reason why you are on the receiving end of it.
Just saying it doesn't make it so. I can post similar memes and say "haha that's you" while pointing at you and citing your lack of media literacy when you disagree, that doesn't mean it's a cogent argument. Maybe there is an argument in that meme, but you're not specifying it and therefore I will not take it as a serious comment.
When the Mozilla foundation took over the Netscape codebase, it was initially called Mozilla, or Mozilla Browser. There was also a Mozilla email client that came from Netscape Communicator.
Then they made a trimmed-down version of the browser with only essential features. That was initially called Phoenix, then Firebird, then Firefox. They did the same with the email client and called it Thunderbird. These existed alongside Mozilla Browser for a while until it was discontinued.
For the record, Wikipedia has not (yet) blocked the UK. They are awaiting official classification by Ofcom of the Wikipedia website. However, the uncertainty is definitely vexing, and the direction this is going is truly worrying.
