Its ruined the long tail of indie rock and hip hop that thrived in the 80s and 90s. Now you make nothing, it used to be you could at least eek out a narrow living today its literally an all or nothing system that gives the major labels more

Many lost 100k or more of income but Larry is concerned about 1400 overheating the economy? How is extra help preventing people from getting jobs when 80% of jobs are eliminated? I think the way we collect these stats is incredibly broken t

Applets were a powerful tool in 1997, I was doing stuff you need to use webrtc for with just applets back then, even used applets for my MFA, unfortunately since I was doing this in art school employers refused to hire me to do java for pay

For me Lenovo have been in between the pure and wonderful but too expensive for me of System 76 and the Pinebook Pro which I own but is too slow and low end to use for my daily get stuff done machine, which instead is an ideapad 3 with ubu

The key is more people forced to live with parents this doesn't just effect young people 78% of GenX are still forced to live at home. We have a society that is profoundly broken in so many ways.

I see more amorality with supposedly highly religious people. I got screwed super hard by a group of bible thumping midwest business people. There's always excuses that can be made like Jesus hates Californians therefore trying to kill

This is what happens when it's easier to pick on people than to pay higher corporate tax such that there is a robust social safety net for all. It's much harder to bring real social justice than to make a show of picking on one gr

I could have been working in hip hop in the 90s however the label didn't just want production help they also wanted help selling heroin, the industry in the 90s was very unprofessional to say the least, coming from being a fan of Fugaz

Well you can give an array of stun/turn servers in the client without needing any special load balancer so its not really hard to do better than one point of failure.

Being in LA I've been forced to be a temp since 1998, no security and low pay and massive bullying here.

Really? I've found I do the best work I've done remote like 0 office politics the efficiency of have a 0 hour commute is absolutely huge in a city where the average commute time was 3-4 hours a day on top of a 12 hour day for 8 ho

Then add in a tax system which aggressively taxes labor while leaving capital and inheritance untaxed, if we stopped taxing labor that might be enough to pull a whole chunk of labor out of poverty, just having work is no escape from poverty

Yeah after a while instead of listing all that money a screwed it may be more useful to run down about how marxism is needed to fix these.

The only people in my family are trying to force everything together as if there's no pandemic trying to stop the rest of us from having a say. As boomers they're used to dominating everyone with their money.

It's hilarious some group is hell bent on forcing as many people as possible to get sick by placing immense financial pressure to defeat remote work. I have a feeling the oil industry is behind this they want you to be forced to drive

For groups like African Americans the numbers are far more harrowing. We ignore autonation as less people work the ones who remain have skyrocketing productivity however all the gains go to largely untaxed owners.
