You know what else is out of touch? A lack of nuance. For instance the boom in tech is only one small part of the actual story. It gives several other examples such as price fixing in Ag, the rental economy, even tipping. To your point, at

I've been using it for 3 years comrade and I still prefer Russian snooping to Alphabet snooping or Microsoft security lapses. I'd rather get Collabra going via Nextcloud but my laziness stops me.

The thing is, if the government ended all subsidies it would be a much more level playing field for electric competitors to petroleum and Tesla wouldn't have to go hunting for its own subsidies. That said the article is interesting bec

This is interesting! When I saw the Epic news the first worry I had was regarding Bandcamp. Even after I quit trying to get a job there I'd look at their jobs page all the time to get a sense of their health. It's been empty for a

Most US farmers rely on tillage, which arguably[1] damages earthworm populations. I'm curious though because people noted in other threads that earthworms are basically an invasive species. If so, did Native Americans practice no-till,
