I was expecting mad max world to break out when gas shortages hit

Well i’m from utica and i’ve never heard anyone use “it” for a corporation

Billionaires are not the 1%… they’re the 0.1% of the 1%…

I hate that occupy wall street picked such a stupid number to pick fights with. 1% is like a high earning doctor. Well off, but not like wealthy enough to buy votes and sway elections…

FUCK THERE IS A WHOLE LOT OF STUPID USING LINUX

we wanted the year of the linux desktop… well the first raft of windows refugees seem to be a bunch of these overzealous privacy types who think they’re now a bunch of 1337 h4x0rs because they figured out how to get an nvidia driver working on mint… they have more paranoia than actual tech knowledge, and their only contribution to the community is sowing dissent, and shouting about something as trivial as an optional data field.

The debian subreddit is downvoting an actual DEBIAN DEVELOPER when they tried to explain the situation

If i put on my tin foil hat, i’d say these people are being deliberately influenced to sow chaos in foss communities

that’s because they still aren’t bearing the TRUE costs of suburban sprawl. it’s still “cheaper” to live in suburban hell than in the city.

if the math started to make more sense, many more would choose walkability

For a while back in the early reddit days, i was subscribed to the incel subreddit and i thought this was all just satire. I found it all kind of funny…

Honestly, i think their (openAI) rationale is that they paid these developers 500k$/yr or whatever… so in their minds, they set these devs up for lifetime success… therefore they have no obligation to keep them employed for long term

I think the devs who are smart, understood the unspoken terms of their agreement

Lol. The system is set up so that (few) workers will have the leverage to charge double…

Whoops… medical issue… please, sam altman, hire me back at the same salary as before! Or half, i dont care!

If people want chip sovereignty they need to byild fabsm anyone can design chips. The bottle neck is and always has been getting them manufactured and thats almost entirely in taiwan and china

That wouldnt make sense

Its not like we just bury the saved money in the ground…

The money i save by not having a car, i spend… which collects sales taxes and supports the local economy

So in theory it should lead to more or same revenues as taxes generated from cars

Aspirational brands

Thats probably where the LLMs picked up the idea. All the online jokes about nuking everyone

What is the solution? Am i stupid?

Can confirm ctrl-shift-c opens dev console

I keep mixing up the shortcuts because ctrl-shift-c is copy in the KDE terminal

The reason i adblock the shit out of everything is not because i think i’m smarter than everyone, it’s because i KNOW i’m susceptible to these things.

What you’re describing is not immunity, but an avoidance strategy. Almost nobody is truly immune to ads, thats why we avoid exposure

Nobody is immune to HIV, so we avoid exposure

Being influenced by ads is not some moral failing.

I really doubt people who think they have some special willpower to resist advertising. Advertising isnt simply “go buy this particular thing”. Brand recognition alone is very powerful.

The person you replied to thinks their shopping list is somehow immune to advertising, i highly doubt it. The lack of self awareness makes me think they are MORE susceptible to ads than the average person.

The car brained vendors making more money still don’t like it, but whatever.

business owners are stupid as fuck… how did they get enough capital to own a business

Either this or a fairphone would be an instant buy from me if they were smaller. Modern phones dont fit into my pockets comfortably anymore

The irony is that mississauga itself is the sprawl from toronto.

Finland already has very good datacenter companies, as one would expect…

I moved my VPS to a finnish company almost 10 years ago before data sovereignty was cool
