  • This quote is out of context. He explained that streaming itself isn't what is hard, it's having everything he says taken out of context, the endless death threats, and the constant character assassinations. Also, he was working 60-70 hour weeks.

  • Buying a new car has become unaffordable for a growing number of Americans. The auto industry is worried

  • There is a paradox with safety features that is really interesting: the safer you make roads, the more aggressive people drive. Better breaks led to people tailgating more aggressively. Better crumble zones has led to bigger and heavier cars. It's almost like there is a threshold of risk that people naturally gravitate to and that maybe the best way to improve traffic safety is through education

    A New Jersey power broker’s son was convicted in a fatal hit-and-run. Former Governor Murphy pardoned him on his last day.

  • Someone add this to the Black Book of Capitalism

  • Mamdani is proof that people want socialism, but we are very rarely given the chance to vote for a charismatic socialist.

  • I can see how car dependency feels like a lesser issue, but car dependency destroys communities and even our shared humanity to some extent which in turn gives way to much larger problems

    This is Jehan Pages, the top developer behind GIMP, a free open source photo editor. Adobe executives hate Jehan. Because of his hard work, Adobe lost millions of dollars

    Jump

  • This is super dumb, it's the same logic all those movie studios used to have the government crack down on piracy (destroying our rights in the process).

    Absolutely. Adobe made billions. Even if they think they're entitled to all our money, they aren't. Being worth $140B when you want to be worth $200B is in NO way a loss of any money

  • Agreed, but technically Adobe didn't lose any money. They've made billions. Could they have made more? Sure, that is always possible, but that isn't the same as losing money

  • Okay, that's fair. No one should be forced to vote for a genocide ever. And any system that tries to force people to vote for genocide to defeat fascism is not worth saving... But even on the issue of genocide, Democrats were the lesser evil. Democrats protested genocide while Republicans proudly cheer for it.

  • Tbf, our two party system is truly awful. We need to fight for a modern multiparty democracy with proportional representation

  • If we were more civically engaged as a population it would not have gotten this bad.

    Yes and no. Yes, if everyone fought tirelessly for years to force our politicians to actually represent us then our system could be much better. But, our system is so deeply and unfathomably undemocratic / corrupt that it is cruel and unfair to put all the blame on the people. Humans are finite creatures so pouring more of our life into politics takes it from other aspects of our life. If everyone is over worked and exhausted then they often don't have time for politics.

  • Youtube seems to be blocking access to a seriously large amount of publicly listed videos

  • Without disinformation, people will naturally work to improve democracy which will eventually expand it to the economy (socialism), so disinformation is arguably a necessary evil to protect the capital class from democracy

  • Guided By Voices

    Jump

  • Socialism is democracy expanded to the economy. And I hope we can all agree that democracy is better than feudalism / oligarchy. The unchecked power disparities that capitalism creates betray every ideal that democracy stands for

  • Only to a degree. A terrible system like chattel slavery or fascism is always going to be terrible. Likewise, the wealth inequalities that capitalism creates will likely regress a country into an Oligarchy if given enough time.

  • It sounds ridiculous, yes, but there are US software engineers who basically work for minimum wage full time doing freelance work because that is all they can find

  • Hey now, we also build bigger and bigger stroads and bigger cars every year which kill more and more children every year.

    I swear we won't stop with the urban sprawl until our entire country is covered in asphalt

  • Should i pirate EVERYTHING or only things that i bought, but do not own?

  • Ethics are very important to me so I say always support worker owned companies/ small indie teams, always support books, but never support evil mega corps like Amazon, Disney, EA, Activision, etc.

    Also, any company that has donated to the Republican neo-fascist party? Fuck them. If you wouldn't give money to Putin then you should never ever give money to anyone who will give that money to Putin's puppets (conservatives)

  • Why China has a tech manufacturing advantage over the U.S.

    Jump

  • I never understood why the US would educate people and then try to kick them out in a short time frame. You are basically making other countries better and gaining little from it.

    I agree, but at the same time... this is the same country that gave their own citizens (3 entire generations!) lead poisoning and used to lobotomize women. So, I am afraid that expecting intelligence, humanity, and logic from the US can only lead to heartbreak and disappointment.

  • Intel faces investor backlash for selling 10% stake to Trump admin at discount

    Jump

  • Public ownership of companies for the benefit of the public is a form of socialism, but Trump's fascist oligarchy serves only the wealthy elites. Oligarchs hijacking democracy for their own benefit isn't socialism.
