It's a big impact on the economy though normally we'd be talking about workers in richer countries, not people just living off their wealthy new spouses. With workers it benefits both countries economically.

Maybe they accidentally went to the German beach instead of the British one.

Automation, once the population is too small to cover the jobs.

Proton's CEO is a fan of Trump and BlueSky is as American as apple pie. So is SubStack, it got series A funded by a16z, which nowadays is best known for its founder Marc Andreessen being an absolute shitbag.

Signal I'll give a pass. It's American, but a nonprofit. Mastodon is at least FOSS.

Maybe that IS the end goal. Get old people working so wages get fucked for everyone and the corporate overlords can increase their profit margins from a measly 99% to 99.9% or whatever

Steam, because they started with non-horrible DRM (compared to other options)

Au contraire, Steam was LOATHED back in the day, they were the first to force you to install a store just to play a single game.

For other games, you needed to enter a CD key on install (which keygens helped with) and then you needed the CD itself in the drive (which cracks helped with). Steam started the trend of online DRM in games, which was then adopted by others who made even more draconian offerings (I think for Spore you could only get 3 hardware IDs registered?)

Yes, because a third party vote is going to do so much in a FPTP system.

I believe you mean Johnson & Johnson, which is a different company.

No idea about the morals of SC Johnson, I hadn't heard of them till now, but have used a product or 2.

Do you make videos like "look I have a cool new stim" or record repeatedly hitting people only to claim it's a stim when they react?

If not, you're probably not the target of my statement re: stims

Most people are too lazy to switch to alternatives when docker works fine most of the time and has a huge community to get support from. What do you use?

Idk if it's still going on but at least at some point, in some corner of the Tok, mental disorders were like little honor badges you could collect. People always showing off their stimming and whatever.

The worst one was always multiple personality disorder though. People referring to themselves as systems, having 100s of alters and getting new ones every now and then.

It sucks because it diminishes the realness of different disorders in people's heads.

Linux for gaming and most other use cases, Windows for the one proprietary application I use. Although I suppose I might go IoT LTSC.

Rules set by god are just as flaky as any other. Moreso once you realize god doesn't exist.

Or just BigDecimal or an equivalent if rational types aren't easy to use in your language (e.g if you'd have to literally enter the denominator and numerator).

Money IS the ideology.

In this instance Cloudflare is being targeted by the anti piracy people so they're a temporary ally.

Unfortunately the solution is to use a binary package for your gender, which puts you in one of a few common configurations, rather than letting you customize.

Look, I have a suggestion that will change your life. You can never live another way again.

Go buy 10-20 pairs of socks, all same. When you get a hole in one sock, you only throw away the one sock. You never have to worry about mixing and matching. If you've got two socks, they count as a pair.

I'm not even matching my keycaps to socks, nor wearing anything special, I just found a specific pair of socks I liked and I've bought heaps over the years.

The U.S. won’t stop Musk from faking sales to make it look better than it is

Q3 2025: Americans buy over 900 million cybertrucks.
