You're in luck! A couple years ago he released an "abridged version" of sorts. A Brief History of Inequality is the name. Much more accessible than the 700 pages of Capital in the 21st Century. https://en.m.wikiped

Grimmer than paying with your soul? With targeting kids with ads for gambling, ultra-rightwing podcssters, and fucked up sexual content? I find it hard to believe.

Yep! So they need to go to jail, or the "punishment" is moot. Obviously fining you 5$ for stealing 100 is not gonna work.

It's extremely fucked up that the EU has this kind of kleptocratic autocracy in its midst not only stealing billions but actively sabotaging its operations, when people have been warning about Hungary for 15 years (the Tavares report i

Whistleblower protections need to be steel-solid. Then maybe just 1 person with a spine might be enough to get the story to the press and/or prosecutors.

It's a bit disingenuous to argue "they shouldn't get life without the possibility of parole" when in fact most of this economic white-collar crime goes completely unpunished, or at best gets a fine targeted at the compan

I firmly believe algorithmic social media will go down in history as one of the most harmful inventions in the capitalist world, on par with the massification of cigarretes or leaded gasoline, or worse. I'm not being hyperbolic.

Yeah, all algorithmic social media does this to one extent or another. Suddenly it's okay if they're owned by Musk instead of the Chinese?

That's nonsense. If the problem truly was spam then the "algorithm" would be a simple and transparent penalty proportional to the frequency of posts. The goal is not that (it's """engagement""&qu

It is very funny! That's why I felt no shame in looking up hints/walkthrough: I'm there for the writing and the exploration, not the puzzle which requires you to pick up a random item 1h before it's apparent you need it.

I've definitely become a fuck-cars car enthusiast in my late 20s, if that makes sense lol In that I still love (classic) cars, I still love (sim) racing, at the same time that I absolutely despise car-centric infrastructure and urbanis

It's not just that it's word salad, it's also that it's exactly the same . There's a multi-trillion dollar attempt to replace your individuality with bland amorphous slop """content"""

The one (only?) platform I ever played Prince of Persia on is not listed: a monochrome Siemens phone from the early 2000s! I found someone briefly showing on yt :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQW4M5azj_0?t=60

How so? The Patriot Act was arguably the kick-off of the state of constant mass surveillance that is ubiquitous today.

Bike lanes reduce the number of cars on the road and therefore make it easier for vehicles that are actually necessary (delivery, work, emergency, etc) to travel and park, not harder. So do all viable alternatives to driving. That in 2025

The G14 definitely matches in build or exceeds in build quality, keyboard, trackpad, speakers, and display. Battery life is shorter though. But it has a better GPU and supports Linux, which is way more important to me than an hour or two ex

That's ridiculous. Thinkpads, Zephyrus G14, Framework, they all have performance, build quality, screens, battery, etc, comparable to a Mac.

Why is this in any way superior to microg, apart from compatibility? Microg simply spoofs/shims the API while not actually contacting Google servers at all.

Yeah, indeed. People on this website tend to look at the immediate effects only, but what about the second order, macro effects? It's even more glaring because we've seen this play out already with social media and other tech &q

Yes, severely capping funding, or even banning all private funding and giving all campaigns a fixed stipend off public money, is probably one of the most important things you can do for the health of a democracy. It has nothing to do with w
