But remember: the design and initial implementation of the internet was paid for by the populace. It is supposed to be filled with cool and useful, free stuff.

Corporate interests and "web 2.0" have turned it into a weird hellscape of misinformation and targeted advertising. It was not designed for it.

It's the walled garden thing that gets me. At some point, people got complacent. I'm 100% confident that there is an entire swath of the population which has never considered that Discord is a corporate entity with corporate interests. We made open standards for a reason.

It's always projection.

Start asking MAGA who paid them to be MAGA.

As others have said, this seems like an ill-formed question. Do you have reason to believe that politicians "cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached"?

On whatever platform(s) you sell your games. The key is not expecting someone to sign up for a different service for your updates.

Hopefully they just post updates on the platforms they sell their games on. I shouldn't need to sign up for anything else.

I'd love to hear what "anti-woke" actually means. It's a dog whistle but has no real substance. Definitions will not match from group to group.

How quickly we moved beyond the point where a president being better connected to corporations than the constituents he is meant to represent actually matters. Now we just want some insight into the backroom deals.

Literally how grifts work.

There is one thing that could potentially make average Americans join forces: most every single politician, regardless of affiliation, is dangerously out of touch.

Once Discord enshittifies, lazy devs won't be able to say "follow our Discord for updates!" anymore.

More ineffective Band-Aids.

The core issues never get addressed. Prices keep going up.

And those issues will get worse under a corpo like Trump.

Stepping back from government, but still goosestepping

Clueless execs are always the problem, ultimately. They have their real estate obligations and simply cannot fathom that social norms around working have changed.

Companies which are heavy RTO will fail. Some of the hybrids will survive. Fully remote companies are thriving.

...but not at the federal level, right? Because no Dept. of Education.

He seems pretty short for a messiah

Yes, exactly this ^

While I can appreciate the ADS-B bit, it seems clear that the change to public registration would still negatively affect tracking.

This madness should be taken as antithetical to every "free market" conservative out there. And yet: crickets.

The US got complacent with outsourcing any kind of manufacturing. It drove up profits for corporations while cutting out jobs for Americans. This all happened on the back of the dream of "trickle down economics". Of course, nothing trickled down. Everything trickled up. Thank the GOP for all of that, as a start.

Now that it has made the US completely reliant on outside manufacturing, in particular from China, there's an obvious need to bring back manufacturing: but there is no real way to do it without investment and subsidization of such efforts. It is a process that, even with the proper support, would take years if not decades.

The populist part is there ("bring back our jobs!"). But the realistic part is that, ultimately, you cannot fix this by simply locking out the external supply. The economy will fail long before manufacturing could possibly return in any real way, at scale. It could be mitigated with FDR-scale programs, but any of that would be viewed and demonized as "socialism" by the Trumpers.

That's where we're at.

The FAA is changing the rule which makes this information public. The FAA is fully controlled by the rich.

One more reason why Texas is a shithole.
