  • We are staged to have some real improvement, but that because I think "age of easy money" was the largest source of economic degeneration we've seen in human history. A subtle economic dark age where investments had no real world meaning, and a huge portion of human effort was put into huge ineffective orginazations that became more and more divorced from reality.

    I think a lot of the "industrial policy" approach is well meaning too, but we have overcome the fact they are from the federal government (which is frankly bloated and poorly managed) and relearn some of our entrepreneurial skills.

    People want things to get better and some people still think they can.

  • Very different games to me tbh. Squad pve with gun focused combat, but thats where the similarities end. Borderland is crunchy with tons of guns stats and special movesin a RPG open world with a set narrative to go through.

    Helldivers has a way smaller arsenal and a tighter mission based combat loop. They have more of a meta narrative that you affect vs being the main protags. The tighter gameplay loop is probably the biggest reason I liked it but haven't play borderlands in forever. Like its very much built for dropping in blowing up your friend and maybe some enemies too, try to do objectives against mounting odds, pass or fail the mission, continue. The fact that weapon progress almost always makes friendly fire a even bigger threat makes it almost a trade off and not a clear path to success.

  • Companies like google pressuring governments in India and Mexico to crack down on unions and work protections there is what it looks like for them and limitations on immigration (and the freedoms of those do immigrate).

    Free market of labor is never the real source of downward market pressure, IMHO. Its the veryil intentional policies ment to keep labor desperate.

  • It definitely made way more sense at early on. I mean GNU made most of UX of using Linux at some point. Systemd, and the browser now make a much bigger portion than before, and the world is more than GNOME now too.

  • I'm not a fan of having root be able to actually login.

    Even more so in a true multiuser env where I would rather have privilege escalation be more granular (certain user/groups can esculate certain actions but not others, maybe even limit options of a cmd).

  • They have get a warrent to force getting data and I know of no legal obligation for platforms to change algorithms to promote or demote content. Even the twitter files showed that twitter employees voluntarily agreed to work with federal departments, but had no obligations to

  • YouTube was going down that route but whole terriost pipeline deal durning the hight of the war on terror put big breaks on it. TikTok doesn't. Its actually wild how vastly different friends of mines tiktoks could be. Just all the most extreme version of anything their into. Had them all asking completely nuts things thinking it was everywhere. Like no sis I don't about the witches that are supposed to be doing something tonight, that was just an old qanon thread with new dates, wth is boy love anime?

  • The fighting stops, but what about the occupations, the imprisonment of everyone in Gaza, the apartide laws in Israel, the geopolitical neuturing of the people of Palestine?

    When do those people get to be free? To trade freely again? To live in their homes with no fear they will be taken from them? To have their voices meaningfully heard in international courts?

    I have not seen or heard an Israeli peace plan, just cease fires in an ongoing siege.
