I generally agree. It's often used as yet another form of oppression.

But right now, capitalism and its byproducts of colonialism and imperialism are a bigger problem for a bigger number of people than religion.

The root for Palestine Israel conflict isn't religious. Religions have cohabitatedthe region for centuries in relative peace.

If you just state it's religious, you open up space for "Muslim bad", or "Christian bad" arguments. Which lead to nonsense and prosecution to specific peoples

If you use imperialism concepts, everything fits well together, and it leads to structural criticism of capitalism, and prosecution (to use the same word) against oppressive ideas and power structures, not against specific peoples.

But I can agree that imperialistic forces oppress religions that are not the same as theirs, if that's what you meant.

It's not a religious conflict. It's an imperialistic conflict.

Revanced?

Thank you for keeping this place sane.

Have you seen people overrate "common sense"? That's it.

Don't think deeply, go for common sense, disregard the specialists, we can't understand their areas of study, therefore they are lying.

Also, avoid studying humanities: history, philosophy, sociology, politics. That will make you poor! Stay technical and mathy, don't worry about anything else other than making money! Have a life project! Get rich!

That's the anti intellectual speech.

Who benefits from the smart peoples of the world not questioning the status quo, and the building blocks of capitalism?

That's exactly the point.

How much of our lives can money buy?

What if I wanted to sell my whole remaining time for the benefit of the ones I love, in the form of organs?

Should we allow money to buy anything? Or should we actually make people less desperate so that they are not willing to sacrifice all they have for peanuts?

Who makes the laws?

Do the people making the laws respect the laws they create?

They create the laws for whom?

How do you guarantee pizza ads if the jesus ministries are pushing that sweet money around, too?

Hell, no! The world is happier without the ad industry. The Internet was run basically on pure voluntary effort, and it was great. The ads didn't make it viable, it always was.

The real question is: can consent be bought?

Or, you know. Just stop using reddit.

Yes! Would be interesting to see some international personalities too!

What do you mean "like these"?

Usually businesses changing privacy policies are the ones without a revenue model that need to figure it out somehow, and aim to IPO.

10$/month way more revenue than they could be able to get with ads, and sure, let's hope they don't want to IPO, because that's the root of all enshittification.

Common sense can be used to sustain any stupid argument, and it should be disregarded as a valid counterpoint to anything.

Why not contribute to the upstream?

lichess.org

It's chess, and it's great!

Yes, I understand! I'm talking from the perspective of someone that learned those skills.

That learned about tool chains, about the required infrastructure, the processes, IDE configuration, etc.

I'm not saying the change is painless. I'm saying for each of those, there's an equivalent in any other game making tool. The foundations help to learn the new ones faster. And the new ones takes you generalised knowledge further. Which only contributes to your professionals growth.

At the end of the day, every technology will be replaced. Being able to transfer skills between different scenarios is a valuable skill itself. :)

Don't forget those skills are transferable!

Streams of events, object manipulation and shit is used everywhere. Just a few minor concept changes, just like from one company to another.
