Why spend the money up front? That’s just bad business. They’ll only do it if there’s real traction in the rest of the verse blocking their shit.

I’m worried that what they’ll do is just set up hundreds of instances on various domains (not even necessarily *.facebook.com, or similar) in order to connect and scrape. Banning them would require resources and time people just can’t dedicate in the way a megacorp can.

“The founding maintainers were perfect in every way and their vision doesn’t need adjustment!”

“Their vision included the need for adjustment? Nah, that’s just propaganda from trolls.”

I appreciate the well formatted commit message. A shame that some of the maintainers aren’t interested in accepting fixes.

Adding to this with a post I found on wallstreetbets.

https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/15uo06v/inflation_data_has_always_been_a_lie/

Not exactly a reputable source, but the OP does go through several key indicators and shows their math (with screenshots of a calculator, lol)

Maybe I’m becoming too cynical, but the raises these unions have been settling on don’t really cover inflation over the periods where they received no increase.
These articles just feel like the media wings of these megacorps are trying to stroke our egos. “Yes, so much bargaining power!”

I can’t find the article I’m thinking of where someone used a bunch of privately sourced data to peg the average annual inflation at 7%, but this article shows how economists don’t even agree on what metrics to measure for calculating inflation.

It’s like everyone forgot he was busy causing constitutional chaos to avoid justice.

Copyright won’t help here. Extending it to allow the protection of concepts as well as literal implementation is what Oracle tried to do, and would’ve resulted in a few megacorps demanding licensing for core concepts that no one can really make quality, functional software without.

Of course, software patents are also stupid, even if the general intent of patents seems reasonable.

What, you don’t like smoothbrained out-of-touch takes about an entire generation based on the transparent dictate of global property holdings companies?

Old Souls in Young Bodies™ my ass. People are going low-tech to escape pervasive panopticon and the endless stream of fake fucking people and conspiracy peddlers.

Any time I read these broad-brush generation articles, I have to hold my eyes still to avoid setting my skull on fire with frictive heating.

They’ll be moved by force if it gets large enough. Homeless people reaching critical mass is something cities actively “tackle” by loading them onto buses and sending them elsewhere.

Suppressing the timely resolution of this strike allows new media companies that don’t follow the same rules to fill the demand. I’m sure TikTok benefits from that to some small degree, but they probably suppress protest footage and related as a default to preserve “social harmony”.

I have no idea why you’re being downvoted; this is literally what those walls full of game boxes were meant for (even back when they actually had shit in 'em).

Reddit has been undeleting posts and comments, so that’s probably not going to work.
