I’m confused, it’s the same article, and it’s not new. What am I missing?

It was filed two years ago and the article hasn’t been updated, what is noteworthy?

What do you mean I see constantly in the news that he’s getting SLAMMED and dems are going BALLISTIC

And stay away from tea too. And silenced handguns aimed at the back of the head. Just so many accidental ways people are dying nowadays

What do you mean I heard someone was SLAMMED for this

Effected

Props to using the actual verbiage of those who voted for this while wondering where their SNAP benefits went

conservative feminism

Ah yes the old

freedom for American internet choice act

Or whatever that actually means that the ISPs in power have the freedom to maintain control without competition and ensures Americans have no choice in internet provider

E.g. it’s literally the opposite of what it says on the tin

Certainly true to an extent, but I’d argue the biggest supporters of dark enlightenment only see technocracy as a stepping stone and are trying everything to get to the end goal. They don’t want people to be voted into power based on their tech background, they want power exclusively and without challenge.

Musk in the White House, big balls in our tax systems, etc, was all supposed to hop the accelerationism train towards technocracy until it was clear that years and years of paper and software systems spread across thousands of employees are wildly complex and you can’t just throw an alt-right Ivy League grad with unlimited copilot credits to solve the problem.

The US is the most obvious example though, as you mentioned, multiple countries are trying that slow creep into technocracy, but I still see that as blowing money into governments for the super rich in the tech sector getting the power they are craving.

Funny enough in a true technocracy you’d never have musk, bezos, cook, etc in power. They aren’t nearly as smart as the people they employ. But those people who would be in power generally don’t give a fuck about others. They’re the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wernher_von_Braun of today’s age. They’d pursue their goals regardless of outcome, because technological advancement is all that matters to them

I mean, the point now is just the end of your comment

pay a corporation

The super rich are trying to collapse governments and turn society into religio-corpo-city-states where they can be neofeudalist kings where their family line maintains through history no matter how technology changes. No different than kingdoms of the past where it’s mostly suffering combined with war, except they’ve convinced crypto bros and other idiots that they’d be knights in this system and are spending boatloads of money to achieve their goals.

Unfortunately what’s been shown in the past is the less resources the IRS has, the more likely they are to just go after the smallest issues, they can automate and garnish wages on people who don’t have the resources to fight it. Then they just avoid the rich because they don’t have the resources to go up against well paid tax attorneys

Except this isn’t stealing windows. It’s installing it on unsupported hardware and/or without needing user accounts to be tied to microsoft accounts. It has nothing to do with bypassing windows activation systems.

And more than half a billion dollars adjusting for inflation

I also sort of blame it on the social media culture of being “constantly connected.” In some workplace cultures, (especially outside the dev space), not being constantly visible and grinning is the same as not consistently posting happy updates on your feed and consuming them.

I remember in my last job we had an “open office” plan after buying and renovating a huge space, and I found a niche little area to set up my desk without people staring at me and when people came to ask me questions they would say shit like “oh so this is where you’re hiding!”

Yes, on company property in the main workroom seated at my company desk using my company computer.

Thankfully my new job is fully remote, so fuck all that weird social noise when at the end of the day I’m just whoring my brain and fingers out so I can pay my rent and buy groceries

Also now your boss can stare at you from his glass office door and see if you’re laughing too much and then Lumbergh you

Bet you they all have amazing parents too

What about the 4th option

What a difference he made

Though the vehicle is either an original or cloned MAZ missile vehicle from the 60s, so not really impressive

Well at least now we know the price of opening an airbase in the US for non-NATO countries

The biggest issue to me with snap (unless something has changed since the last time I looked it up) is that it’s all a walled garden by canonical and it’s not open source (in the sense of package submission, review, rating, source availability, etc).

With flatpak/flathub you can see the source and discussion behind each package

https://github.com/orgs/flathub/repositories

But that transparency doesn’t exist on snap so you are just hoping canonical did their homework on vetting apps
