You've cured my insomnia. Thanks for the snooze.

(I'm just horsing around, please don't hate me, I love you)

I feel this with all my being and I hate it.

I'm a turd in the morning. Nothing good is done.

I wanna go to bed at 1am and wake up at 9, but now I can't.

I don't know what to say. I've just glanced at the shopping tab right now, and saw plenty of non-curved 48 inches monitor from LG, Samsung and even Dell.

I didn't check if they were all dumb though, but mine is (Aorus fo48u)

It's exactly that. Detect where there are ads in a scene ( a panel for example) and replace the space with their own ads.

Plenty of 48inches though, so compromise

Aorus fo48u here. Dumb as fuck, sometimes too dumb (no remote input processing without hdmi signal), but I'd rather have that than a smart monitor with all the bullshit

Data mining. They know what you watch, when you don't and any other habits you have.

If you have a microphone on your remote or tv, then they also send that data over.

You should change, not the dumbfucks without a regard for other people

My guy, he provided numbers and sources while you've been arguing from an emotional standpoint only.

Take a deep breath.

Over a 100 years old, you can do whatever the fuck you want. You're gonna throw him in jail? He doesn't even know if he'll live for another hour.

The indoctrination part is that housing is an investment that will/should always go up. So yeah, you pay 700k now, but when you sell, it will be worth more.

And the big difference is that you could go on with your life never owning an old game and it wouldn't matter. Housing is a basic human right. We are in a supposedly modern society, but increasingly more people are getting homeless because they simply cannot afford a basic human right. That's fucked up.

Not OP, but you keep hinging on the supply reduction that OP supposedly said (which he did not). He just explained the context of today vs the period of urban sprawl where land was cheap.

He is right that reducing urban sprawl and setting limits on what can be build where put upwards pressure on the existing land price, and that only corpos can afford to buy land to build multi-units.

The policies that densify urban region are good and necessary, but we have to make sure that the pressure it creates on land price is somewhat controlled.

Corpos are spending countless resources to infiltrate anything with as much as a iota of traction so that they can bleed the cow cash dry and sell its carcass for money.

Even if you distrust the corpos and want them to die, the majority of the population has so much trouble just surviving that its hard to raise up against that bullshit

In an ideal world yes, but we've learned nothing from the Dotcom bubble, or the 2008 housing bubble.

If there is money to be made, history will repeat itself.

Discord, at one point, was better than a lot of other app on the market, and they were one of the first where you could just create an account and join any group, for free.

It became the standard, and now we're stuck with that shit

I have to look for datasheets quite ofen and every damn company requires you to log into their shitty login system to get them.

It's exhausting

VC funding is basically gambling, trying to find the next billion dollar company. So they throw money at anything that has any semblance of traction to get in early and cash out when the time comes.

This is my grandpa time, but I love Cinnamon for the less modern UI.

The new UI won't bother me a cent, but I really disliked KDE for no apparent reason, and Cinnamon hit right what I like about a UI.

I understand that a lot of things can be customized, but I am talking about OoB experience.

People spend thousands of dollar for their furniture, but dont want to pay the extra 75$ it takes to have strong people come and bring their furniture home.

Yes, but it is not acceptable in today's capitalism. Only the growth of growth matters.

If the line does not go up enough, the company is failing.
