I thought it was obvious you meant Collective Shout.

It doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be ran by the state.

There are standards already for the format of some of the messages. These options being subpar is how we got things like PayPal originally, so who knows.

I worked a little bit for a company that worked with payment processor networks. This is my understanding (and don't view this as a defense of them, I don't necessarily think they're good). There are a ton of banks. Every bank having their own POS machines would be difficult. Imagine going to one that doesn't support your bank. So payment processors sort of provide that bridge so devices only need to know how to talk to one (or a handful) of networks and the same for the banks.

Damn, I can't expect to enjoy my evening if I have to pay for media, therefore it should be free.

Payment processing should be treated like a utility.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills whenever I hear them say things like this! These things belong to me, I should be able to control them. My perception, my LITERAL GATEWAY FROM MY MIND TO REALITY is mine and I have a right to control what I see.

What's frustrating to me is the idea that law makers and advertisers believe I don't have a right to alter data that comes onto things I own. And nobody chime in with the brain dead "☝️🤓 actually you don't own it." Because even if you wanna waste time with that stupid distraction, I own my computer. I built it from parts.

Controlling my perception is my right. If I wanna use things that block ads that's my right. PERIOD. I NEED TO BLOCK ADS BECAUSE OF MY DISABILITY.

"Then how do you account for the lost time, Scully?" I say to my wife after binging hours of X-Files.

I don't know, I may have transcribed from the wiki wrong.

This is why we invented hash checking. Good thing they can't MITM where that's stored! /s

Parental controls exist. Use them instead. I fucking hate this.
