lol 90% of the people in my city hate ICE with a burning passion.

Stupid people will still be either censored or get their info leaked, and we have to live in a society with them.

Tell me without telling me that you’ve never needed the police to do anything useful.

I have children, so I supervise their internet and don’t let them send their pictures to strangers.

Unless they require a digital signature

To be fair, recall how microscopic TVs used to be not so long ago.

I’d assume it nags whenever it can’t connect to the home server, and just says “network”.

So when they go out of business any remaining units will nag forever.

To be fair Boomers didn’t create this economic policy. Their parents elected Nixon, who broke the Bretton Woods agreement “temporarily”, and then we adopted Keynesian macroeconomic policy afterwards to justify it.

Inb4 someone regurgitates a defense of this “boomer” policy and proves that it’s not just them and never was. It’s always been the rich and their loyal servants.

It won’t sustain our societies. It’ll sustain their society, and who counts as a valid part of that society will keep shrinking. One by one they won’t be white enough, or rich enough, or devout enough. Fascism is a game of musical chairs.

Even if one doesn’t care about genocide, they should still care if their own GPU is rigged to explode.

Weren’t they already picking out their wives from public nudes?

In English: “they’re talking about guillotines a lot”

Fair, but compare that to the fun of an actual in-person TTRPG. It’s the main way I make new friends as an adult man.

All prices have been fake since the bailouts started.

IMO it’s inevitable now that they’ve made it harder for users to customize their experience (API debacle). The site will have to change over time, and it will gradually piss people off. Eventually old.reddit will no longer be worth the cost to maintain.

IMHO this is no different than Neuralink. My computers do a great deal of my thinking for me. That’s why FOSS is so important.

They’re taking care of that for you. Without ads, they don’t have enough income to stay afloat. With ads, they can’t compete with open source models.

Look we’ve only got so many berating gangs to go around, they’re very busy.

Prediction markets have outperformed CEOs for decades and still haven’t replaced them, for the same reason WfH hasn’t replaced offices. Everything is a monopoly or oligopoly now, with no need to efficiently maximize profits. It’s entirely a matter of control.
