I for one am a fan of everybody doing UI Fediverse improvements. It is very literally paving the future of the internet, because the future of the internet is not corporate bullshit. The Fediverse needs to be as slick as possible, and more people working on that is sorely, sorely needed!

Lead to other drugs, no.

Luigi did have that entire parallel adventure in paper mario: the thousand-year door.

Aren’t quarks made up of the nothingness, the vacuum of space, somehow vibrating? I feel like that’s what smart people have been trying to tell me.

If that’s correct, then the nothing is the source of the something.

The people who don’t want to acknowledge that the system causes suffering don’t want to do it precisely because they have suffered and continue to suffer, and seeing how big the fountain of suffering is would be too painful. It doesn’t make it past their brain’s guard dog.

The replier fails to see that suffering because they’re numbing their own suffering by hating people richer than them, and if they stopped, they’d have to deal with something they might not be ready for. It doesn’t make it past their brain’s guard dog.

This feels like it’s at least shaping up to be a worker-oligarch civil war instead of a left-right one.

Finally the conservative dream.

We all bought a free subscription to it for life with our data that they stole before we even had a sense of it being a problem.

We need to compile a list of shitty executives for boycotting purposes. No more “this company did a bad thing”. No. We need exactly this, with “this is David Davidson, who led the enshittification of ABC, Inc”

It needs to be a document, a wiki, of exactly the shitty things those people did so that businesses will have monetary reasons to want to avoid shitty executives.

Let’s help those poor, poor companies from being victimized by those awful greedy people. The poor things.

Yeah I think it’s Syncthing-Fork now?

The list of apps that want to invade your privacy populates itself?

They’re only doing the bidding of the Shadow Council who will conjure a new one should the need arise.

You got yourself a deal!

First past the post is what you’re tangling with.

It makes it so third parties only hurt their closest friend and lose to their least favorite party. Taking that energy into the democratic party itself is probably the best bet. Not good, but best.

In ranked choice, yes a new party would probably be best.

Make fines for companies breaking the law to make money a percentage of the profit generated from it, with a base percentage of 125%.

It’s fine to post a meme without following your orders. Jesus Christ.

I don’t actually know if this is true, so somebody jump in if I’m wrong, but the answer is, because it doesn’t actually help, and may even make the underlying problem worse.

Trends don’t always operate with the level of nuance needed to be an actual solution, but the problem still requires what it requires to be solved, whether or not somebody’s heart is in the right place.

The patterns of behavior between shareholders, boards of directors, and executives is what’s killing people. The same role can be re-cast with different actors.

It’s not that CEOs need to die, it’s that that larger pattern of behavior that gets rich by killing people needs to end. Maybe this spooks other people who are part of that larger pattern into stopping, maybe it makes them do it more, stealthier, and with bodyguards. It’s hard to say.

At the very least, we should all jump at every chance to help things without hurting anybody, wherever we do find it. “Necessary violence” comes with a big ol heap of plausible deniability, and it’s a pretty big ask for somebody to handle it responsibly.

The justification will be alluring even in circumstances where it is not legitimate.

Yeah, people who act like it could never be funny are insufferable and people who actually do it are psychos.
