It's not just about taxes. It's about maintaining his status as an oligarch.

I'm not a huge fan of liberals either but anyone with a brain can see that modern conservatives are anti-intellectual hate cult retards who think that truth is dictated by consensus and proclamation, and they deserve to be as unpopular and ridiculed as they are because they had decades to prove that their punitive ideological approach works and they failed horribly.

Pidgin was dope

If we can't win being civil, we'll win using the uncivil ways instead.

Consolidated = decreased.

The amount of websites isn't what eventually consolidated. Internet traffic did, and the value of domains went way down. That's why it's described as a bubble.

Anywhere and everywhere that isn't a scam site. Etsy, ebay, local and small business websites directly, b&h, sweetwater, newegg.

I just stopped shopping at amazon altogether. My online shopping experience has improved a lot since then.

The vast majority of businesses don't own domains and host their own websites which is what the .com bubble was. They host pages on Etsy, Facebook, squarespace, WordPress etc etc.

LLMs are not AI. They're content stealing blenders wearing a name tag that says AI on it.

The modern tech industry is all about building products that generate hype to impress the shareholders. Building good functional products to impress the consumer isn't necessary if you can simply put on a flashy show for the geriatric billionaires.

They'll do that anyway. They engage only in ideological proclamation, not critical analysis. They think truth is dictated by consensus.

You deal with these people by disenfranchising them and removing their opportunities to gain power, not by engaging them directly in debate. Never engage with an echo chamber if you don't want the ideology of that echo chamber to infect others like a virus.

lmao so angy

They were always this way. It's sociopathy, not age that causes this.

It is supported in the nightly build and full support is in the works currently.

It used to be worse. Pop up ads are mostly a thing of the past. The web used to be an advertisement shit hole and there were no ad blockers back then.

Regardless, you're right. I don't understand why or how people could be ignorant of the existence of adblock in 2024 unless they're boomers.

100%

because windows is doing everything in their power to ruin their OS with privacy violations and ads. I would switch to Linux yesterday if my favorite games worked on it.

The whole problem with companies like Amazon is that hardly anyone in charge of them seems to care about long term sustainability. They all just invest enough effort to squeeze out some short term profits, earn their bonuses and then leave for another company to do it all again. Nobody is interested in sustainability because there is no incentive to. They're playing hot potato with the collapse of the company.

Now they can replace them without paying unemployment and pay the new workers a lower wage. This is what they wanted to happen. Mega corporations are a problem we need to solve as a society.
