Eh you’re right of course. Like I said below. Search engines have become useless anyway…

Very true. I don’t disagree at all. I think once google finally becomes totally useless. It won’t matter.

I mean Google is already just Yellow Pages AdWords edition with AI content

Yeah the article stub doesn’t link to the article. It links to a login flow with the article id. If you go directly to the article you get redirected if you don’t have a session.

It’s incredibly easy to make an impossible to get around paywall. Porn has done it since the Internet existed.

In this very particular situation I’m glad most companies are lazy and stupid.

I don’t particularly care if a company does pay only content. I think its legitimately ok. I hate companies that don’t make you pay enough for the service to cover their costs thus leading to complete enshitifaction.

That’s pretty telling all by itself. Don’t you think?

Nah, just AI trained in their art style

Gambling with OTHER PEOPLE’S money.

You win, you take a cut. You lose. Someone else suffers.

These people destroy everything for greed.

We are also born unable to care for ourselves. Or speak. Or…

Pretty sure the first order of business is going to be to remove those laws.

Emergency charter are not the same as a “personal jet used by CEO”, but I get what you’re saying.

The core issue is really that the wasteful uses of this amazing technology (flight) far far far outnumber the useful ones.

Its REDUCE, Reuse, and recycle.

We need to reduce and eliminate wasteful consumption. Not throw useful tools out with the bath water (to butcher an analogy)

Nope: Lift foot out. Flip back. Foot in, adjust strap.

Samesies! The Garmin battery is starting to deteriorate after about 3 years use though. That said I don’t regret buying it, it’s been great.

Literally heard this song for the first time in YEARS about an hour ago… wild.

Literally about to do same.

Jensen also is obsessed with how much stuff weighs. So maybe he’d sell shovels by the ton.

Shit, we have examples or socialized markets that run whole economies. We don’t need to go far… Shit enforcing the current rules equally would change the world…

Thanks for your informative and less snarky answer. I learned something new today!

Wuuuuuuuut! That’s crazy. I’ve been using it wrong my whole life.

Everything is a lie!

Pedantry: it putter not potter.

Completely agree. I think it’s a consequence of the late stage capitalist world. We’re way too burned out to have the energy to go on adventures or the money to make it easy to do.

Even if that were true (it’s mostly just anti union propaganda… and I’m not even sure this isn’t propaganda bot I’m replying to. )

Until you unionize. It the equivalent of saying “I don’t care enough about anyone else but me to bother. Even if it does hurt me in the long run.”

Unions aren’t a service you pay for like insurance. It’s a thing you do with other people. Together. To protect one another because we’re strong together.

Anti union propaganda focuses on the things it can attack, and distracts you from all the benefits.

The only responsible thing for the working class to do is to form and maintain stronger unions and unite with all workers.

I’d prefer teaching this kind of thing.

Sounds like a real honest to goodness hacker in the original (digital) sense. A+
