I mean in this situation they’re saying outright that they’re going to release buggy unoptimized incomplete and maybe garage. So that’s just kinda getting what it says on the tin tbh

Local vs amazon are not the only 2 options. And let me be very clear. I am not simply saying “Buy local”. Conflating that with ethical shopping is wrong.

People have no morals. Most people only care about the cheapest price, and after that getting the best item for the cheapest price

You are aware that percentages of demographics changing does not demonstrate a shrinking user base by itself, yes?

- Comment on Amazon develops methods for inserting ads onto any flat surface in an existing video 1 week ago:
Companies/creatives/collectives need a way to show what they have to offer so it gets out there. Ads are far and away out of control, but their abolishment has it’s own problems (and people will advertise anyways, just stealth like they already are)

The grift is professional development meetings and standardized testing. It’s a bit silly to suggest it’s all corrupt though.

The fact that you linked 3 links that don’t counter what I said is impressive.

You can’t form a corporation without their expressed permission, if not, you loose your status as a corporation.
This is just wrong. It’s not permission. You submit to their bureaucracy, yes, but that’s guaranteed if you submit your paperwork correctly, it’s not a permission.
Capitalism ≠ Laissez-faire free markets, but government owning the rights on who gets to issue bonds and debts.
This is not completely accurate. It implies it’s a prior approval situation instead of a post-revocable situation which while similar are notably different. The government cannot revoke those privileges arbitrarily. There is rules for them, but those rules do not restrict who does so, they restrict how it’s done.
Speaking broadly, a system where the king issues money, and controls said money, is not capitalism anymore than socialism is communism. When nobility exist and can arbitrarily set rules and taxes, that is not capitalism. That isn’t to say either are good, they’re both terrible systems. But the thing you described with a king is strictly not capitalism, it’s a different evil.

Yes,
Capitalism without copyright…
Capitalism is the issue. Not copyright. Why do you think copyright is causing the problems that capitalism is causing.
You merge or sue your competition to death for copyright violations first…
A nonsense statement when said in reply to what I said.
- Comment on Japanese devs face font licensing dilemma as leading provider increases annual plan price from $380 to $20,000+ 2 weeks ago:
That’s a different conversation. You’re redirecting. My statement was as to that copyright is not necessary for large corporations. I’m still anti corpo. Without copyright large businesses would be the primary beneficiaries. They’d be able to freely do as china’s factories do. They’d simply undercut the original inventers with their massive wealth, making the products cheaper(and often worse), selling more and amassing more money for themselves.
- Comment on Japanese devs face font licensing dilemma as leading provider increases annual plan price from $380 to $20,000+ 2 weeks ago:
Large corporations predate copyright, including the west india trading company. So yes, it is strictly untrue. Not all business relies on copyright and patents to run.
- Comment on Japanese devs face font licensing dilemma as leading provider increases annual plan price from $380 to $20,000+ 2 weeks ago:
That’s strictly untrue

Yes, I too love allowing large corporations to steal from independent artists and use their larger resources to take market share and all of the profit

That’s not how finding jobs work. You can’t just magically get a better one, much less in this economy. Instead, they should unionize collectively and fight Amazon for better pay

Do you seriously think you know what a word’s meaning is better than the hundreds of millions of people who use it in a way different from how you suggest it?

This implies that when you don’t have more than you need you should build a wall. Is that the point?
- Comment on Insulin 3 weeks ago:
Being poor is the only way a country is third world or not. Being politically related to America is not relevant to the present definition. So no, it is not “technically in every other way”. It just is not a third world country, period.
- Comment on Insulin 3 weeks ago:
It does. Strictly it does. Why do you think china is no longer considered third world?
- Comment on Insulin 3 weeks ago:
Espousing an old no longer relevant definition to sound smarter and be “right” is peak lemmy/reddit behavior. Third world does mean poor now.

Math isn’t flexible like that though. You’re asking for flexibility where there is none. Sure pemdas is technically arbitrary but having a set convention for that is strictly necessary and good teaching.
