What’s Meta need a bunch of fascist Christian nationalists for? It’s not like they have an overlapping demograph-oh yeah, ofc.
Mark Zuckerbot sure is a shrew bastard. Elon Musk wishes he had his computational brain.
The problem with automating everything is that suddenly consumers have no money to spend on products and services… you know what that means.
That, or an oligarchy class keeps a distance between themselves and 99% of the people via privatised security, or even national security.
So socialism, or a return to the aristocracy. Take your pick.
This, and Bangladesh. All places that rely on wage slavery, child labour and unethical working conditions, because that which is unethical is also very cheap.
You can’t really compete with slavery, because again: it’s very cheap, and the way the Chinese state leads Chinese farmers and villagers into social lock-ins, whereby they legally become stuck in an area where there’s only grueling, deadly, soul crushing and back breaking labour that leads to a life of poverty becomes a problem for the rest of the world if it’s used to manipulate the markets.
I do of course realise this article is about “too big to fail” companies that corner every market, but I also think that the west and the east needs to think about what it means to partake in a race to the bottom where wage slavery is part and parcel of the market. It creates conditions whereby competition involves who can make the most horrible living conditions in the world, and do you really want that?
There are Chinese labourer families who have been trying to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” for generations now, and it’s all thanks to other nations enabling the Chinese regime - especially the west.
Friends don’t let friends take drugs from new age psychos.
Oooo, someone wants to be in the history books as “the guy who wanted to end the conflict.”
No deal, Lukashenko. You’ll always be a Boris Yeltsin knockoff, and a bootlicker, and a spineless shill, so sayeth history.
This is why Godot is so important and that source available can be something the EU has to consider for all newly designed games. Sorry, small, mid and big time game studios, and screw you publishers, what we need is to make sure that the barrier to entry for game developers is significantly lowered. What, you think I’m taking about video game conservation? Leave that to AccursedFarms.
What I’m saying is that you can more easily pitch games to publishers, using assets and engines that are already “standardised”, like Bethesda’s several Rube Goldberg machines, if they are available. I’m looking at Fallout London as saying to myself: why isn’t this on Steam, Switch, and every other platform Fallout 4 can run on, being sold by Bethesda?
Even split prices, one for people who already owned Fallout 4, one for who recently purchased Fallout 4 if they don’t have Fallout 4 - if you wanna be pedantic. But the point remains the same: these lovely modder devs, though they shouldn’t be forced, could have pitched this game to Bethesda, even as an “off-universe” game. Whatever.
But then we remember the Fallout 76 Store. Oh my god, no. And DMCA takedowns, claims of copyright infringement - even though “modified works” doesn’t exclude software - and what about actual live services and competitive games? Like could the community make the server instead? Can it be something even the Olympic Committee has a hand in, so the game can be vetted for the Olympics?
Like update your EULA. “May be used, modified and deployed for free if it’s used for education and development purposes”. I’m not a lawyer, so take them scribblings with a grain of salt, but something like that would really just add an extra level in participation in schools, clubs, organisations, etc, even as an easy way to recruit and receive games and new worlds, for free.
Free the engine! Free all of the engines! NOW!!! “The secret sauce” fallacy has been stupid, is stupid right now, and will continue to be stupid into the future - unless we do something about it.
Spot on. Racists will scapegoat people groups for the corruption within their own system, in effect blaming someone completely innocent of any wrongdoing against the economy, because that will always be and the politicians fault.
But of course, historically speaking, you screw up the economy and you you go “oh no, it’s the Jews” or “the Darkies” or whatever people group you can find, because at that point you’d be stupid to not play that card.
I mean, what are you gonna do? Fess up and make amends? No. That’s dumb, optically. Better hope it blows over and we can just forget the whole thing… or, you know what we can do…
“You’re not fooling anyone, r/TigTooty - banned.”
r/BigBooty is going to be bone dry…
Unless Reddit actually monetizes the process for content creators, in which case, we need them to open up their books - because then they’ll be running a marketplace.
…is he closeted gay? Gays who know about closeted gays, please enlighten me.
That man is a goddamn national treasure. What has he been doing for the past half century? Oh yeah, facing the housing crisis head on by just building more housing, personally, with his own two hands.
Soyjak Neo-libs hate this one simple trick. “Noooo! Let the markets adjust themselves!” Haha power tool go brrrr.
Also known as Jimbo’s gambit.
Repeat after me: they’re coming right for us~! And then you murder all the civilians.
Goddamn, the republicans really just love utelizing organisations like battalions on warmaps. It’s all about defying democracy and centralising power in favour of the Republicans.
You gotta project, because then it seems like you’re the one calling out your opponent, also known as the pre-emptive dog and pony attack.
This is why Russophobia is dumb. They can hardly organise in diaspora because people become sceptical and paranoid, in effect helping Putin to cut off the oxygen of any dissent movement.
You should help Russians in your town or city. You should help them organise, get funding and to basically form a clear Russian identity outside the Russian nationalist propaganda engine.
This is not only important, but crucial to save Ukraine, because pressure must be applied - on both sides of the border.
Strawman? Where TF do you see a strawman? Is it somewhere behind your whataboutism?
“There is corruption in other countries too you know”… yeah, thanks. We talk about them separately because it’s necessary to analyse each one individually.
But, as a matter of indulgence we can say that US regulations are much more lax than in the EU proper, which is tbf also culpable in petroleum, gas and yee olde capitalist exploitation, but it is still a far cry away from China, India and Russia, because those are highly authoritarian countries that are ruled by oligarchies that do not GIVE A FUUUCK about their citizens, even much more so than even the US.
In any case, wtf does all that have to do with the history of the EPA being made a limp dick by way of lobbying and intentionally ineffective policies? The point remains the same, the EPA has been weakened and it’s apparent all across the US - word to Flint, Michigan.
Time for a damn reform I say.
Well of course it is… you gotta render the service paid for lol let the Russian oligarchs get their money’s worth.
