I think what you are seeing here so far is the organic result of those dumb enough to pay this kind of money for youtube being personally offended and defending their bad decisions.
We will get there but I'm not sure that this platform is large enough to be a major target for corpo bots just yet. Just dummies.
I use starlink - I paid for the hardware on the ground, the rest of it is in space. There is no other internet out here.
We have no public services, I have to drive to them or provide them myself. No water, no sewage.
The power is generated 36km from my house and the cost of gold plating the grid to get that power is disproportionately reflected in MY power bill so that those in the city 200km away can have electricity.
Can I ask what demographic you fit into that you seem to sincerely believe the world would keep functioning if everyone lived in cities, and that with your obviously limited exposure to how the world works, you believe you have it all figured out?
These people live in a tiny little bubble, but the glass is dirty and they can't see outside. They probably have zero idea where their food comes from and how far it had to travel to make it to their wholefoods, or how different the lives of the people that grow it are to their own.
This isn't social media. I don't know you and I can't pretend to know you. This is a discussion board/ bulletin board/ forum dressed in new clothes, and I'm cool with that.
There are so many other birds out there that we've stopped eating. I am doing my part to bring back the eating of swans, geese, pheasants, ducks of all kinds, ostriches, emus, quail, pigeons and rare parrot. It seems unfair that chickens get all the love.
It just seems retarded not to do global releases at this point. Like we're all connected as hell. How do you expect to make one country wait 6 extra months? Just dumb. Lost revenue for no reason.
It's not communism but it's antithetical to the American spirit of free market capitalism. They prefer their growth unchecked and their corporations unregulated, just as the founding fathers intended.
Same. I just don't have a reason to use kbin. The interface is not my cup of tea and I don't like the way they've handled communities or 'mAgAzInEs'.
