- Comment on Bestbuy decided to use fucking **DOORDASH** to deliver my order, I couldn't cancel it. Today I was supposed to get it, and I saw the driver stealing the package after marking it as delivered. 4 days ago:
I’m deliberately vague about the form of this help because I think that trying to keep track of who owns what is actively harmful to human society and we should abolish private property entirely.
It won’t help the kleptos so much as it will limit the impact of their offenses to the personal scale rather than industrial or national scales.

And instead of getting them help with their kleptomania, we built an economy where the richest thieves control the world.

“In the USA” and “by large portions of the capitalist class” are the answers to your question, I think the previous commenter was just a bit too incredulous because this topic came up in the news lately and they’d expected it to be common knowledge even outside the U.S. since much of the “AI Industry” is involved with U.S. tech companies.

The electricity needed to store data in memory is relatively miniscule next to doing any sort of processing on it
- Comment on Anon wastes time 1 week ago:
Dudes who have more money than sense that risk their trading access and waste hundreds of thousands of dollars just to make paperwork for the world’s (formerly) most cost-effective and most highly armed accounts-receivable department?
Lol, yeah. I want to believe this too. Imagine having the (formerly) cushy government job where you get to process all of this and if you fuck it up then the guy has to prove you wrong to contest your assessment. Hell, I’d audit the guy just to be thorough, that many zero-profit transactions probably smell like money laundering. XD

All of them, lol~.
But for real, I’ve been working in web hosting and related fields for over 15 years and the enshittification is still accelerating. It’s long past time to stop relying on centrally hosted sites and start working on decentralized services.

They did that on purpose. “Cashless” just means giving a middleman the opportunity to take a cut.

You’re an indie, stop worrying about piracy costing you sales and start worrying about the people who’ve never heard of you but would buy your game if they did.
If anything, you should be encouraging piracy as a marketing strategy to help get your name out there. Anonymity is a bigger cause of lost sales than piracy ever could be.

The vindictive American in me always feigns interest to try and waste as much of their time as possible. When they inevitably hang up, I call them back and ask to be connected to Fatima (there is always a Fatima).

- Comment on Bluesky’s Quest to Build Nontoxic Social Media 2 months ago:
I did, I do, and I’m calling this article bullshit for not pointing out that while the protocol might be open-source, they have yet to share the server software that’s required to operate it.
BlueSky “lets” people host their own profile data because it reduces how much data they have to host. It does not allow them to login and browse the network without going through their centralized servers to do so.
So, it’s not really decentralized, not really open source, and remains under corporate control until such time as they decide to let anyone compete with them on their own network.

The poor guy’s brain must have the consistency of pudding by now.
- Comment on How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs? 2 months ago:
Tariffs are normal, they encourage a strong local economy that doesn’t get screwed over by a dominant economy that decides to use the trade relationship against the local economy
But America was that dominant economy, right up until the tarrifs were imposed. Now it’s more like we’re brexiting ourselves.
