The #Trump admin planned to issue #fines RETROACTIVELY for up to 5 years, Reuters reported. Under that framework, the maximum would be $1.8 million. The govt would then consider #seizing the #property of #immigrants who could not pay.

The fines reviewed by Reuters were issued by #ICE, but a separate agency - #CBP - has been asked to process them & handle potential forfeitures, Reuters reported in April.

Françoise #Dastur: "We must ask ourselves what constitutes the essence of theoretical science itself. #Heidegger shows in his lecture [of 1919] that the experience of the "thing", of what we call "reality", presupposes the objectification of life and a devitalisation of the living experience, in the sense of an eradication of the interpretation immediately given to the environment. The result of this process of devitalisation and disinterpretation is nothing other than the real in the form of the #data (Gegebenheit) which is in fact a false immediacy, a theoretical construct."

#Seizing the #means of computation implies decentralizing the means of production somehow.
🏴‍☠️

And that's a tough nut to crack.
🌰

In discussing the battle against state control of computation, it's convenient but fatal to ignore the fact that chips etc. don't just grow on trees.
📱 != 🌴

Failing to remedy that means that the endgame in the war of general purpose #computation will be greatly hastened by the still-centralized means of production.

#FightForTheFuture

I'm dismayed at some of the people on the #left throwing shade at #decentralization as "some #libertarian noise." Like, this is literally people #seizing the #means of mass communication, and these people are opting to side with the #profiteers because apparently it turns out the #proles are actually scary.
The ideal socialist condition would be independent communities self-governing and engaging in mutual aid. How the hell does #Twitter fit that model even *remotely* better than #Mastodon?
