I read a similar article a few weeks ago, and I think your concise summary is better than the article linked in this post.

I think Yanis goes a bit overboard with stating that capitalism kinda no longer exists, since it really is about a new group of rich people simply inserting their companies as evil middlemen who leach money off the whole system.

I’m not sure the solution has to be revolutionary or super complex. I’d think that large countries and groups of countries (e.g. USA, the EU) could implement their own mega marketplaces, leaching off much less money and avoiding the sort of corrupt BS that Amazon etc do to keep prices artificially high, and these governments could also stop allowing the mega platforms to do business in their region. Big countries want to facilitate an economy, and if private industry is proving to be too broken with their current approach, governments could step in to create more functional marketplaces that still work nicely in the internet age and don’t have horrible middlemen crap dragging everything down.

Great song. Powerful strategic use of dropping the f-bomb, and just an emotionally powerful song overall. It didn’t dramatically change the world, but it got plenty of airplay and it made it’s point.

It’s mostly a solo game. You explore, build bases, buy and upgrade ships and tools/weapons, and other assorted stuff. More than anything else, it’s a cool random planet generator, so you travel around checking out planets until eventually that gets boring, which might happen soon, of after a couple hundred hours.

This seems like a really good idea, and I love that the article actually acknowledges that there are other countries in world which sometimes have good examples of how to do various things. Virtually every neighborhood should have reasonably quick/nearby access to a decent grocery store.

neither. They probably just haven’t implemented default facial expressions yet (but probably have support for them).

You have nothing to be sorry about. You politely inquired about posting memes, you didn’t simply start posting large numbers of them.

I’d prefer that memes mostly exist in communities clearly labeled to be meme filled, so that I can ignore them most of the time. I keep blocking more and more communities because I see a few memes from them…

Good for them! I wish them luck, now that they managed to escape their evil empire and set out on a more positive path.

It’s not my favorite, but if it’s well done, grilled chicken Caesar salad is super yummy and also healthy. But the dressing and parm chz has to be quite good, and the chicken almost as good.

The real chaos would happen if all the recent UFO stuff turns out to be true. Aliens existing RIGHT HERE ON EARTH could quite possibly cause changes in one or more major religions, but maybe not immediately.

Didn’t we just watch this episode? Let me guess, either Palpatine and/or the ‘supreme court’ is going to cancel this.

This is what happens when the writers go on strike…

Honestly, I’m fine with the normies staying on Reddit and Twitter, while all of us ‘new cool’ folks explore our rebel alliance.

I replaced my old, fairly high end pc with a fairly high end Beelink a few months ago, and it’s working out fine. The beelink mini is cheaper, better and faster in every way, and will end up as about 5% of the trash my old PC exists as. I’m not sure I’m going back to full-sized desktop pcs, despite being a game artist/game developer who needs somewhat high specs to do my work.

Bot account. sigh.

Thanks for the heads up!

I deleted the comment I made. I’m not interested in this sort of bot in the fediverse.

Edit: tried to delete comment when I found out this was posted by a bot. I can’t seem to find a way to delete a comment. wtf?
