I can’t name a single other digital service anywhere near steam level of trust. things you bought don’t disappear. they are on the record saying there is a contingency in case of shutdown. they havnt a used their position. as far as market leaders go, you could do worse

er, by default any profit is taxable for them while as a lemming you get a tax free $600 profit before it impacts you

but fuck ticketmaster anyway

what is it with countries and bullshit maps lately

I must admit I abandoned it after a few hours (bought on launch). I do want to give it another crack soon

i struggle to understand that even from a sociopathic viewpoint here, productivity drop would far exceed any wage savings

i just worked out im saving 2160 litres of fuel a year by not driving every day

we did just waste a good few million years of evolution though (let’s say 65 million accounting for the rise of mammals). earth isn’t going to be habitable forever, from memory there’s less than a billion years left before the temp would increase with the expanding sun enough to make liquid water impossible. feels like we kind of shot earth in the foot a bit here

I think the reference to collars was more a hypothetical in the article as the author was challenging the bunker dudes how would they ensure the people keeping them safe remained loyal, and that none of them considered anything like “treat them like people before the cataclism”, it didn’t even occur to them at all, instead they proposed a bunch of more controlling measures, which included “disciplinary collars”

musk is just a cooker with money

radio does suck, but its also a vital information system during emergencies. what liabilities does a manufacturer open themselves up to by refusing access to a potentially lifesaving device?
