Because the incentives are not aligned. In a capitalist society societal consciousness is necessarily imprinted with capitalist (value extracting) logic.

If most of the people around you believe that making money is the logical way to survive then making money will become the goal of many to most human interactions. People will choose big publishers because big publishers guarantee them some amount of money (and services around publishing) in exchange for the ownership and monetisation rights (and then the right to sue somebody into oblivion when they break copyright law).

So the rich and vibrant ecosystem can be reality, just not within current society.

The comparison doesn't really make sense. Stockholm Syndrome is a pop-culture term that has no medical recognition and is psychologically contested

Corporate having interests that are not aligned with the interests of the majority and using their funds and power to influence the outcome to their liking is not a new concept

If you ignore the uncountable amount of incidents where LEOs abuse their power then you could think that, yes.

Otherwise you just know that LEOs are your enemy in more cases than not.

this page is extremely stuttery on my developer machine in chrome. why does every web page now have to have an amount of "fanciness" that apparently not even decently specced machines can take?

The true value of AI lies in hyper-specialized models that you can run locally / are embedded in programs to make tedious tasks easier.

As true open-source models mature more and more they will make the big AI labs completely obsolete.

Also, German law recognises legal expropriation

to be fair, Meta is a conspiracy company, probably just not in this particular case

If you pair meds with therapy and adjusting your life according to the things you learn about yourself through the lens of the diagnosis your quality of life can increase dramatically (at least it did for me).

what the person is criticizing is that fraud gets way less recognition as being disgusting than one-on-one violent crime. not trying to excuse the violence

There is already a named concept for it, you were probably looking for "social murder"

nobody becomes CEO because of being a cog, you have to intentionally seek it out and be actively willing to participate in the wage theft machine

The person in question obviously did not handle the hallucinations, though, did they?

It's vibes all the way down.

It's... really just vibes?

Always has been.

Where is the spec?

Regime is what western countries generally, usually call countries they don't like

Counterpoint: I give a shit about this because I love typefaces / fonts, how they are made and what the history behind them is.

I've found that using LLMs for significant amounts of code generation completely drain the result from any dopamine I would get doing it myself.

Have others noticed this as well? This is going so far as to me losing interest in side projects because I have "lost touch" with the code base.

Well, why use Elixir if I can use Clojure/Python/Ruby/Go?

Workplaces that are dictated by a boss or C-suite are anti-human as well, as they are dictatorial, not democratic.

Your work colleagues are not your family. Your superiors are not your friends. Treat every company as if they were going to look for a reason to fire you right now unless you can reasonably argue that they don't

They held an internal discussion amongst members and decided democratically which stance to take.

as someone who uses tailscale: exactly this.

i have my homelab only reachable via tailscale and can access everything i would ever want on the go that way. it was a matter of 15 min to get it all working.

some non-violent offenders definitely need to be put into the same prison as violent ones

i don't like normalizing people hoarding things they don't need in order to sell them for way higher prices to other people that do, do you?

the most fair distribution for limited sought-after resources that are inconsequential (like domain names) are raffles. let people apply in a 4-week window and then randomly assign it to one of the applicants.

then don't allow reselling, just allow giving it back and do a raffle again

MacBooks have the best value/money ratio at the moment. The combination of battery life, processing power and touch pad UX are unmatched

The human shields narrative has long been debunked.

Many many countries got sanctioned into oblivion or color-revolutionized into US-loyalty for far far less (often just for not being aligned with the US).

It is even more sickening and outrageous if you view it through that lens.
