Their building a Prison System ™️ regardless, open source (e.g. Linux) just offers SOME protections.
We have to do more regardless, but it’s still all part of the good fight in my book


Honestly. I agree. A big issue the US has with “industrial policy” type of deals in general is this. Big businesses can afford to have specialists to get access to programs and programs can “accomplish” their budgets goals faster with these bigger deals. The COVID small business loans had the same issue.
Also supply side money funnels are popular with donors/lobbyists (for obvious reasons) but are almost always garbage. Demand side (upfront funding for some needed thing, and payments for fulfillment) are still possible for to fuck up but do WAY better.


I can accept that hospitals in US are motivated purely by the desire to separate cash from hands but to deny lawsuits is unAmerican.


Got my food allergies tested. Avoiding those have really helped my mystery “ughh why do I hurt” days


Quiting Facebook was a huge improvement in my life


More so both are factors towards onshoring happening. Same with PVs and batteries. Though Trump’s other policy undermind a lot of that progress as well.
The CHIPs act also favored union work and even funneled some money to worker owned shops. That so far seemed to be toothless in keeping this admin aligned there


That was the biggest failure so far. The other ones seem to be smaller

Its crazy that this is the only sane option mentioned in this thread. Like its not a reasonable justification because the insane low trust situatuin we are in and no attempts to mitigate risks being heavily advertised first.


I think Mozilla’s controversial “Deplatforming is not enough” lays out a better strategy for “the algorithm” problem to me.
Having big tech be able to work in secret to pick anf choose what content isnt allowed and then being super charged by the state to do it for them as well just doesnt sit well with me


That is the same thing from a different perspective is what i am saying


Im describing it purely from “as a story” concept.
The punishment is being a creature with free will on earth and the ability to comptemplatr shame for moral decisions (because we can fail).
At least at this point of the story


I find the story better with “all-knowing” meaning know what is and had been and the future being unknown. A fact created by have multiple beings of free will.
That said eating the apple is very low stakes way to let someone choose to disobey you and thus learn what that means. The “punishment” seems like the plan all along.
at least how i prefer the story


For the Maga faithful its because they put so much of their identity into Trump and ignoring the othersides list of monsterous things him and his admin are doing.
For the rest of us its a matter of being informed and actually doing something. I find its better to focus on what you really know and care about and are willing to be invloved with, then trying to consume content about EVERY issue in the world.


Largely universal experience. Lots of activities and clubs vs adult hood (sports, rallies, math club, robotics club, etc). High feeling of potential (every is wonder what they will become instead of the are).


Motivation is powetful influence on devolopment. The linux kernel is largley driven by UX and desire for technical excellence (there are ultier motive from some major factions but overall this is true and actions are judged publically as such).
Microsoft is, like most companies, driven by stockholder value creation.
One produces an enviroment in which cautious adoption of new tech is constant, a slow trickle for use where it seems most applicable.
The other demands that the perception of exclusive capital be created through vertical intergration with propritary IP and that the promise of cost reductions are underway. Aka Microslop trying to add a buzz word to every IP (percieved capital creation) and promising massive layoffs.
I’ve been told fork lift drivers fuck
Almost exclusively by fork lift drivers but they seem really convincing
