You both live in the same place…

In my heart. 🫶

I’m explaining to you why this comparison is a poor argument, not volunteering to dance around various different arguments all day.

I thought the Jester’s job was to say stuff that DID matter, but he presented it in a way where the king could save face.

What do you chuds not understand about “two countries are committing war crimes”? You asked about China and got an answer about China. You’re trying to convince us who’s the second worst empire.

Cool, I’d like a pony too.

It would make more sense to use alternatives to those social networks. Yes, it is still bad when Americans do it.

You and I have practically zero control over privacy laws. We’re living in an oligarchy, not a democracy.

Post your home address

I don’t understand why the people here who like TikTok aren’t on a Reddit instead. They don’t mind closed-source software on a corporate server manipulating us. There’s people who want just TikTok gone, and people who want all centralized social media gone.

Except they’re not just both authoritarian; they’re both capitalist. So TikTok (or whatever) will just sell your data to brokers and it’ll eventually end up in the hands of Americans who would visit your home.

Go take a long walk off a short pier. I promise your day will change!

car which is bought once and is mostly outside of vendor control once you have it

Well, cars in the 1940s at least. Don’t buy a Tesla.

Yes? But only if it’s the guy in charge of a network service I’m buying.

Crypto has been leaning right for years and it’s a damn shame IMO. The initial motivation was to create a money supply without automatic annual pay cuts, without corporate bailouts, where we aren’t forced to either invest in a business or work until we die. All humans should share a FOSS money supply. A large percentage of us were leftists or (actual) anarchists.

Then it appreciated really fast and attracted a bunch of get-rich-quick crypto bros who understand nothing and want you to buy their latest shitcoin. And it’s hurt adoption in the long term as a consequence.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they started distancing themselves from the darknet drug markets that got us here.

Making it transparent might encourage pesky users to consider replacing a part.

They’ll do that at the drop of a hat these days. It’s been a slippery slope since WikiLeaks.

Thats the nifty part, for centralized fact-checkers we just use LLMs!

I wouldn’t. If they’re only consuming labor and no natural resources, then just a union is sufficient.

Land value taxes are immune to tax evasion. It’s assessed by the state instead of declared by the taxpayer.
