  Duopolies are very prevalent in tech, think AMD/Intel, AMD/nvidia, Windows/MacOS, iOS/Android, etc.

  As to why? idk. Big companies buy up small ones until one left so they don’t get sued for being a monopoly? Maybe, but I don’t think that applies to all those cases.

  The ‘Stay Put’ thing

  wait, you have a problem with that point?? as you yourself already pointed out, the “fireproof box” thought was only true with the original design, after the renovation that’s simply not the case, saying fire would be contained is just plain wrong. what’s even the point of bringing that up. but let’s even just ignore that, there is a fire in the building, even if you think the fireproof should hold the fire, i don’t get why wouldn’t you evacuate the building just in case? can you take risk of being wrong when the consequence is so many people’s lives?? and even if you thought initially that staying put was the correct thing for the residents to do, once you realize you don’t the fire under control, wouldn’t you start the evacuation as soon as possible? why was that policy in place for so long??

  i mean i am absolutely not saying the firefighter should take majority of the blame, there’s just so much wrong with everything, the housing system, fire regulation, there are too many things I can’t list most of them. but like, can’t you at least admit they were wrong on this one?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨anons brother has some strong opinions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You are seeing on a glimpse of a huge, interconnected social issue that I don’t have the ability to competently articulate. Council housing obviously have a bad self-reinforcing image problem: no one wants to live in them, so only desperate people live there; because only desperate people live there, no one wants to live there. But that’s because the government fucked it up, it’s not an inherent attribute of social housing. UK had pretty good social housing post-war until Thatcher gutted it with things like Right to Buy.

  If there is a solution to the worsening housing crisis, then social housing must be an integral part of that solution. So we must get building and normalize the image of social housing. I get quite mad looking at the current Labour government just sits doing nothing about it.

  Grenfell Tower is its special kind of hell too. Sure the building itself wasn’t kept up to standard, but also the abhorrent response to the fire. The residents were told to STAY PUT IN THE BUILDING ffs.

  So yeah, makes me feel bad that brutalist architecture gets bad reputation in the UK despite they themselves doing nothing wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨anons brother has some strong opinions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think people often describe brutalism as cold, souless, dehumanizing, etc. But the principle behind is actually very humanitarian. They forgo grandiose decorations, embellishments, and instead choose to rather gain their form from function, and to maximize their functions so they can serve their inhabitants better. Many, many brutalist buildings were built as affordable, social housing during the post war era, when wealth inequality was perhaps the lowest in Europe.

  And additionally, to me, because of how laid bare they are, they become an embodiment of transparency, and honesty that I wish our society can have more of.

  (Don’t listen to me, there are many good articles/videos explaining brutalism way better than I could. Maybe this video on Habitat 67?)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨anons brother has some strong opinions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay I am a big fan of brutalist architecture. Guess I am in the minority… I feel the philosophy behind it is just being wildly misunderstood.

  Yes, Green is a good choice too. They also have policies I disagree with, but there’s never going to be a perfect party. I’d like if they get more attention too but that’s just how the media works. People like seeing a shiny new party coming in to disrupt the system, so that’s what the media will report on.

  Also I heavily disagree with your classification of Corbyn as a lizard. Come on now, you can disagree with his stances but he’s not a lizard. Just listen to what his constituents say about him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half-a-million members sign up to new left-wing party founded in Britain⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First of all I disagree with Corbyn’s position on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

  Corbyn is ideologically anti-war, and has a long history of that. He is wrong on this war but his position is at least respectable.

  On the other hand, people are voting Farage in who is actively colluding with Russia. So 🤷
