There are several ways to destroy a billionaire. The easiest should be to just make them a millionaire.

Unfortunately, they’ve made that increasingly difficult, so that might not be the easiest way anymore.

But the minority is shrinking and it’s increasingly difficult to maintain a clear conscience while also benefiting from the bald exploitation of others.

Yes the company has been good about not just handing over customer data, but I was thinking more in terms of if the data was taken by force, like by a fascist government.

Honestly, and this isn’t meant to make them feel unwelcome, but anecdotally I find there are a lot more neurotypicals in dev than ever before.

What did it cost you

Ah very good guide, thank you. Did not see the forks at all.

I find I can make them go away if I focus on the center of the image and lightly unfocus my eyes. But you’re right - it’s not without effort.

Same with fedoras. Always loved that hat, but increasingly was communicating something other than what I wanted.

I really dislike interobangs. They just look like a printer error.

Apple does spy on you, but unlike Google and Microsoft, they don’t sell your data.

They are an American company though, so who knows how secure their data really is if a rich person decides they really want access.

Happy birthday!!

This is surfing in mass transit

It’s the same thing with trying to make the fediverse more popular. I’m glad people have found their way to communities they’re happy with, but things were just fine before.

Yes, a better car is a better car. That’s perfectly reasonable harm reduction logic.

I just would rather people not forget that that’s all it is, and know that there are much better communal solutions. Even if they seem utopian, they’re actually very sensible and pragmatic.

Materially speaking, we could start building a better world tomorrow morning. We don’t have to wait for tech to save us.

I see that and to a certain extend I agree, though I am much more on the “anti AI” side of the argument myself. I do think it is not as neutral as you make it sound, though. Like it is an especially pernicious tool under capitalism or feudalism, in that it allows a really aggressive extraction of value from the commons into the private sector. And even if it doesn’t necessarily replace that many jobs, the perception among management is that they can at least use AI as an excuse to make fewer people do the work of many. If enough employers hold that line then the balance of power will shift to management, no matter how talented the workers.

Disclaimer: I have read the article yet, so just reacting to your comment. Hopefully I’m not too far off base. :)

I want to ride it

Car culture evangelist in fuckcars community missing the point as always.

The point is that EVs are not a good solution to the problem with cars - they are just a better car. This individualizes what is a collective problem.

My city is adding six new lanes for cars in the coming years, meanwhile there are already intersections that a person has to jog to get across in time. Cars have their use, but it’s far far far less than people realise.

Valorizing EVs leads to perpetuating car centric designs, which is a negative across many dimensions - not only ecologically.
