Socialists don’t hate markets, they hate workers not having any power or democratic choice in how they interact in the market.

Workers owning the means of production just means the workers are doing the same work but they are in ownership of the factory and the profits. They will still sell the products they produce in a marketplace.

Fully agree. Windows is trash spyware now that doesn’t respect user choice.

I was really commenting more on the meme itself.

I have drawn myself as a chad and you as an ugly wojack so my position is clearly the correct one.

Windows users hate this one neat trick.

Gonna be real difficult to recover from if you lose the device with your passkeys on it or that device is broken.

Couple that with eSIMs and you are looking at a lot of headaches for the non-tech savvy.

Supposedly you can use a security key but they are pushing biometrics, yikes!

Wait until passkeys and all their issues have been solved by the major players.

Don’t lock yourself out of your digital life chasing something flashy and new.

So you agree that both sides are doing terrible things and there are no good guys in this situation? Just innocents caught in the middle.

If you trust Telegram you’re naive. Here is a great breakdown earlier this year from Kaspersky.

Signal isn’t perfect either, but their mistakes are far less egregious. They also have removed some of the more egregious mistakes, like needing a phone number (edit: incorrect, see below) or google play services to function. It can be run on a device without Google Play Services because it only uses Google Play Services for push notifications.

…and you’re treated as culturally insensitive if you point out that it’s partially motivated because of two bullshit ass religions, and the reason they won’t stop is because they’ve each just got to prove their God has the bigger dick, even though they’re technically the same God.

Look man, if your options are literally only “do nothing and accept your fate” or “kill a bunch of innocent people who never did anything to you and actually may have supported you” then maybe you should just give up and accept your fate, because we’re literally seeing how many more innocents are dying because of this. They didn’t put a dent in Israel’s defenses. They gave Israel more excuses to the international community to murder even more innocents. Great plan, Hamas. I’m glad it worked out so swimmingly and actually changed things instead of just continuing the same bullshit cycle. /s

If you can point to me out how this is going to result in anything other than more death and destruction, feel free to clue me in. Because fuck nothing has changed. They didn’t take out the people responsible. They didn’t change the power balance, and now even more Palestinians are paying the price because Israel is a fucked up aggressor.

Acting like a bad plan that resulted in more innocents deaths is some great blow against the establishment is dumb as fuck.

Exactly what meals on wheels is for, but it needs more funding, to be sure.

One of my local food banks has a community dinner once a month. The food isn’t anything to write home about, but it’s free.

Agreed, of course. Was just pointing out that such a thing did exist. Charities are not the most effective way to handle such issues, absolutely.

Charities absolutely rely on things like public relations and advertising campaigns to raise awareness that they exist and/or need funding. It leaves everyone at the mercy of which charity is “most popular” and if yours isn’t very popular, you could see it disappear. It also means a significant portion of the budget is spent on things that don’t actually address the real problem, which is hunger.

I hate it. It’s why you have a lot of immigrant Indian men up-and-coming in the US Republican party and US conservatives in general.

Indian conservatism is just as bullshit if not moreso than US conservatism.

They’re uncomfortable laying down so I usually don’t wear them at home

Is the only thing you do at home is lay in bed? I do plenty of stuff at home that requires me to have my glasses on all day.

I put them on in the morning and take them off before bed.

From today, dialing 999 won’t get you the emergency services — and that’s not the only thing that’s changing. Nicer ambulances, faster response times and better-looking drivers mean they’re not just the emergency services — they’re your emergency services. So, remember the number 0118 999 881 999 119 725 … 3.

I think you’re missing their point.

Indy was always “it belongs in a museum” when its an intricate part of some foreign nations history. That museum always seemed to be British or US.

The point being they’re just stealing their history back. A reverse Indy.

“It belongs to the culture it came from. Allow them to choose what to do with it. Perhaps they even have their own museums.”

Or we could, you know, follow previously established methods of building vehicles that make pedestrian death and dismemberment less likely.

No, no, no. Americans need them this way apparently for some inexplicable fucking reason.

So instead of just designing them with pedestrian safety in mind to begin with, we are just gonna slap on more fucking band-aids (like cameras) that do fuck-all.

Unlike some, I never took off my pirate hat. That’s been me the whole time.

Except for the whole not being alone thing.

My old person trait is that none of the things mentioned in the linked image happened on accident.

They happened because capitalism doesn’t give a fuck about anything except bleeding as much money as conceivably possible out of each and every human.

  1. Apps allow companies to suck more data out of your device than a website, allowing them to sell more of your data and… make more money.
  2. Video games needing access to the internet is simply Digital Rights Management and a way to prevent piracy and… make more money. Remember, most companies view something pirated as a “lost sale,” not that you would have never purchased it to begin with. As Gabe Newell once said:

“We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem,” he said. “If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate’s service is more valuable."

  1. This one speaks for itself. Being able to be in control of the products you buy is freedom. Having products controlled remotely by a corporation is giving them carte blanche to make more money off of you.
  2. Removing accessible customer service means more people will just give up on trying to get their problem solved, effectively allowing the company to steal from people and… shocker… make more money.

I agree, in theory, in respect to ghosting, but we live in a society that teaches us to be isolated, and doesn’t teach interpersonal skills unless the interpersonal skill is “Fuck you, got mine.” (which is, not surprisingly, a thing about making more money.)

In other words, these aren’t old people opinions. These are “I’m not gonna let capitalism absolutely fuck me endlessly” opinions.
