  • But can these people stop doing it to privately owned vehicles? And also, stop harassing the telsers on the road. I’ve seen a few videos now of drivers being harassed.

    No. We need to make fascists afraid again. If you don't want to be bothered for owning a Klankar, then stop owning a Klankar.

  • Up until... Id say 2005 or so... using the internet, or even a computer, wasn't a requirement for a large number of jobs.

    Up until around then, you could still live a very full, and productive life, without ever touching a computer (embedded doesn't count here).

    That point was about just under half my life...

    The summers of the 90s? I barely touched a computer, and almost never on weekends.

    There has been a massive, and rapid shift in paradigm for people who lived through that gap.

    That said, yes, people can keep up, but it wasn't required until it caught loads of people by surprise.

  • It's a very working class ideology.

    Last August, I was at a bar, and got into a convo about general politics. I avoided using leftist words, but just started talking about their paychecks, and how their boss always tries to screw them, which led to their boss having undue influence and money in politics...

    Withing an hour and a half or so, everyone one in the bar was talking about the same thing: the ruling class screwing the workers.

    Only two people were quite unhappy... one I know was a Reich Winger, because I helped compile a dossier on him for local activists.

  • Here's a kicker: You're a millenial, and yeah, us millenias had it all to ourselves, by and large, for about 10-15 years.

    Remember when you can to configure Trumpet with the proper IP settings, and that was AFTER you configured your modem's DMAs and IRQ's (Unless it was an external serial modem...)

  • No, it was really a technical issue. Analog signals are very prone to noise, and noise is cumulative. Even the best recording heads are going to pick up stray magnetic fields, and of course you get the typical cosmic ray noise hitting the recording tape and head, and then there's noise in power lines that also contribute to the noise.

    Basically, what you don't get to hear anymore causes it: Tune an older radio to somewhere between stations. The static exists all the time. If it didn't, it would just be no noise at all, rather than static. Same with older, analog TVs: You see snow and hear static. That's all environmental noise, which will impact analog recording medium. Even the source side of the house gets that noise introduced. That's what Signal-to-noise ratio means: How much signal, vs how much noise exists.

    So, dupe of a dupe of a dupe... All recording noise.

  • It's not "brain melting". Even watching the internet go from "this is super neat, and way cool" (For nerds) to "Well, it's ALL going through enshittification now" wasn't "brain melting", it's just what happens under capitalism.

  • I'm betting Mark Cuban. They (I believe, based on the sudden interest in him as a "Progressive billionaire" on various social media platforms, and in person talks) that the solution to a Reich Wing Oligarch is a different Reich Wing Oligarch, but Blue this time.
