Gaming is just going to become a hobby for the rich at this rate.

Well in global terms, PC gaming pretty much has been that since forever.

There is no way we can keep up with this.

Reject the AAA slop and you’ll be good. It’s not like anything good comes from them anyway and all their “innovation” is just fancier graphics and physics without any real gameplay, content or story, mainly to justify the overpriced next gen Nvidia card.

Deserve has nothing to do with it. Only idiots approach this question on fantasizing about vengeance, morality, or “people who I consider not worthy of life getting their due”.

It’s not like these people’s persons are a threat to anybody, especially when all their MoP has been taken and it’s not like you gain that by killing them. They are just actors in a system and that system is the real enemy. Even if these people benefit from it greatly, they are still replaceable within the system. Calculated or not so calculated revolutionary terror is an other matter. Then interning and/or killing a few seething old men and their families who all represent the old order might become necessary to drive forward the revolution and/or cement the new order.

Good if it cools down EU warmongering.

A kernel level anticheat is basically spyware in all but name and stated benign purpose. This if true is getting on the malware territory. Like who is responsible on the case of false positives.

Not such a bad idea actually. It’s not like Tinder or any other such platform want anybody to find a partner, because that would make them lose a customer/product. They just want maximum engagement on their own app, so everybody else but them loses. While it’s silly of course, but this is one of those things where public option would be good.

Didn’t pypi have the worm too recently?

Also I have no idea why npm is worse offender than most? Is it that the install scripts can you execute any code they want?

It’s daily 3-5h outage at this point on all youtube channel feeds. About 3:00-7:00 AM Greenwich time.

New missile gap?

Also it’s more that US munition stockpiles are running dry, drainage rate is increasing and their restoration will take years even if they would stop all their wars now. It’s not DPRK arming massively, if they are closing the gap with strike ability.

I seriously hate the term “hybrid war”, both Russian and western uses of the word, which are the same btw. It has serious blame other for what you constantly do to them vibes in it.

I still have only vague ideas what they even are and do and why they are special. Yeah, marketing, data brokering, spying, PR, social engineering, propaganda, but then how does that differ from Meta and Google.

The federal government is no longer the largest spender in R&D: It funded about 40% of basic research in 2022, while the business sector performed roughly 78% of U.S. R&D. While not a problem in itself, industry has simultaneously withdrawn from open scientific publication over the past four decades, shifting from research toward development. The result is a shrinking pool of openly shared scientific knowledge precisely as public investment in it also contracts.

In US research spending has pretty much served to manufacture monopolies and patents for wallstreet and if they land onto something major, they can then proceed to collect royalties from the world for next X decades. You generally can’t patent a new law of nature or something, so of course they shift away from basic research. Too bad the engineering and other sciences need that groundwork too.

Historically “retirement” was not a thing, you just moved to lighter tasks. People only really stopped working when they no longer physically and mentally could.

The thing you say about rich old fossils and cold war relics running the west, is a problem though. Their age isn’t per se the issue, them being out of touch pillars of the status quo and being generally oppressive is.

Americans are so liberal that they have like ten words for it and every mainstream political opinion is just a type of liberalism.

And no EU official will even protest US actions, because they fear Trump will leave Nato.

This is at the not-the-onion territory

It’s really the audacity that gets you. Also he talked shit about Francis too. He converted in 2019 and has second guessed 100% of the popes after his supposed conversion. Also with issue that are not even controversial. ‘War bad’ isn’t some radical catholic or even christian position.

yikes. Said by a converted catholic.

Talking about banning porn is just outrage porn for those for and against it. The point is to drive home surveillance state and most importantly drive discussion away from things that actually matter and the people in power desperately want people not to talk about or take notice. Modern liberal politics is very much an art of pretending to do something when actually doing nothing and just acting as the guarddog of even decaying society that has been politically hermetically sealed for the benefit of the top 1% funder class.

I don’t know what’s your point? By that metric human population got too high and over natural carrying capacity, when humans moved from hunter gathering to primitive agriculture.

Humans are not reliant on nature’s given carrying capacity since humanity has always created it’s own environment and has adapted, engineered and invented itself out of multiple unsustainable ecological collapses through the advancements in the quality of means of production.

And btw while I think it’s shitty project to plan to increase teen pregnancies… Still, fuck anti-natalism and degrowth if that’s your point.
