I care. I live here.

Before now, these programs didn’t get cut because of the checks and balances of our government. They probably think this presidency will be like the 45th. Those protections are gone and a lot of people are going to suffer and die because of it.

I can’t wait until computers and compression algorithms advance to the point where YouTube competitors become commercially viable!

Just kidding, YT will probably just blackmail their content creators into only posting on their platform and nowhere else to maintain their monopoly.

Being an ignorant dipshit isn’t making a valid point.

That’s why companies shutting down online games need to be compelled to open-source or at least provide binaries for their servers.

I understand why most companies wouldn’t do that, but they should be forced to open-source online games that get shut down or otherwise made non-functional.

The only issue I have with that last suggestion is that contracts can blur the line between being employed at a company and not. For example, obviously a contract employee should be subject to the same level of minimum wage, but what about if a company hires another company? What stops some big tech company from just getting all of their janitors from a contract with a janitorial company that doesn’t have to pay their people nearly as much? I think that windfall taxes on the 0.1% and a big UBI are the way forward.

Even if a universal basic income makes things more expensive, it will make things more expensive by less than the amount that average people will benefit from it. It also reduces economic inequality.

That number specifically indicates that they’re probably using a positive integer amount of seconds since the epoch (jan 1st, 1970). Rookie mistake.

This relevant article suggests it’d be up to the party.

I really hope Orange Hitler doesn’t have a heart attack and die in the next 4 years because Vance is a competent evil, but OH is only concerned with his own enrichment and will hopefully only do the bare minimum to keep his party happy while spending all day golfing like he did last time.

Ha! #2 is wrong because you said extant instead of extent. I’ve got you now, sensible internet stranger! 🤓🤓🤓

All the people involved in MURDERING this poor girl (in order of degrees of separation):

• The Texan legislators that banned abortion
• The supreme court justices that overturned Roe v Wade
• Donald Trump, for packing the supreme court and enabling them to overturn Roe v Wade
• Every American voter who knew exactly what they were voting for

I think the implications behind there being infinite time in the past are fun if you assume that the universe works like a stochastic state machine. It means that either every finite event that has happened and will happen has already happened an infinite number of times or the universe is infinitely large.

Preinstalled stores are limited to manufacturers and distributors and they suck, so nobody uses them. It’s pretty easy for someone with a tiny bit of tech knowledge to do some research and find out how to enable the ability to download APKs from the internet, but sadly, that’s not most people. Google doesn’t have a monopoly because Play Store is good (it isn’t), they have a monopoly because they’re anticompetitive.

Google made the Play Store the primary (and only, for most people) way to install apps on Android.

That also happens to be exactly the kind of math error AI is notorious for making. I bet the article was written by AI and likely not even proofread by a human.

My experience has been that singleplayer and indie games work best, so that’s not surprising!

Maybe I’m just really unlucky when it comes to liking games that don’t work on Linux.
