Thats a lot of text to say „I‘m not interested in debate.“

I think its the wrong platform if you just want to push your ideas and takes and cant accept different opinions. A blog would be more fitting in that case.

And again, have a good one.

I think peertube needs shortd and mobile apps desperately to fill this void.

I completely agree that everyone should use free software. Not for free of course but by donating or straight up paying for it.

That aside, I think your stance is the „vindictive vegan“ approach. While I‘m a newly found fan of veganism, I strongly dislike the „you’re either with us or against us“ approach.

I personally run a matrix server (which is foss, even if it sounds like its second class foss to you) and have it bridged to discord, whatsapp and signal. Why? Because that helps me convert people.

Their reasons for joining matrix:

• You can use one app (fluffychat in my case) instead of four apps
• People on the other platforms miss out if the bridge goes down which shows them its matrix first. With mautrix bridges, the bridge very rarely goes down btw
• their chats will be accessible for them forever if they wish, with backups they can take whenever they like
• no chance the EU breaks their encryption
• no chance for discord, meta or anyone else to sell their data (of course not in the bridged room)

I think there are better albeit more manipulative ways to get people to convert instead of punching them on the nose. Certain matrix only rooms do help, provided they have no equivalent on the other side.

Anyway, have a good one.

Its actually the same with real money. Since we gave up the gold standard, money has become a digital currency as well. Both are used to manipulate us.

What a pile of shit company. Essentially they’re weaseling out of providing warranty for their nice looking but flawed controller AFTER losing a class action law suit. I hope they get broken up.

Dont forget they ruin everyone who even touches their stuff. Dogs.

I know but thanks. the data on this is rather old so I thought if I can get the prices from the game directly I could write something that changes with the game if an update messes up the prices.

Cursed, very reductive destiny’s child?

Exactly. They can get fucked

I havent played tekken since PS3 days so I was totally oblivious. Thanks for mentioning this.

Fuck. I really wanted to buy that game. But I’m not puttin up with this shit. Good bye tekken. I hope a lot of people join me - and vocally so.

Absolutely.

Thats actually what I hope will happen at some point.

It is. She is the movie version of rage bait. The amount of cruelty, incompetence, malice and sheer bigotry is shocking.

I really cant listen to companies shitting on customers anymore. Be a shame if people started being less reasonable.

You obviously know how the basics of software engineering work. Investors dont need to know that. They only need to have money. Here‘s an article about layoffs that shows how basic that though is: https://money.com/tech-layoffs-affect-stock-prices/ (layoffs = good decision, stock price go up). Its obviously a little more complicated than that but imo it hints at why layoffs below a certain percentage might encourage investors.

You know that and maybe they know it as well. But the investor overlords want to see big number go up.

I think the idea that everyone can invest in companies and demand their undying loyalty is pretty stupid.

Someone hinted at the fact that ceos used to be bound to stakeholders (customers, employees, community) instead of shareholders. Some court decision is said to have broken this. I searched for it a couple of times but cant find it. Anyone have the source of this?

This just figures after their tvos app gets worse and worse.

Thats a great idea. I watched a documentary about alcohol, alcoholism and the alcohol industry and every 2 minutes I went like „its all just capitalism, isn’t it?“

Like the stuff we see in these games is all about the fun side, getting stuff done in the most efficient way, automating etc.

But in the real world, its more about keeping new companies from entering the market, closing off as much of your market share to others as possible and exploiting vulnerabilities in every system you can find. Influencing customers and politicians by any means necessary and weaseling your way around getting regulated, as if the stuff you sell wasnt just making you rich.

The most impressive feat was bringing binge drinking to africa and making a country (nigeria) that has abstinence of 50% drink more than the other countries by employing hookers to fuck alcohol into peoples heads. They even had a former boardmember of heineken (I think) to corroborate the story.

Its so disturbingly absurd that I haven’t really grasped all of it yet. But managing simulations are not the „capitalism“ that we live in cuttently.

They had to name it capitalism and economy fest?
