I ended up giving up and just putting a Linux PC attached to my TV as a media center. I host plex on it.

I actually think universal basic income is a very flawed idea from a leftist perspective.

It is effectively a capitalist compromise that still puts all of the asset holders in immense positions of power. The only difference now is they effectively are governmentally enforced as those positions of power. It will make the wealth disparity exponentially worse.

The answer to our wealth disparity is to put power in the hands of the average person.

Once capitalism is dead.

Technology is great, it's just naturally being used to exploit.

We've hit the wall of diminishing returns. How much power do you need to run lemmy?

Ive got a 4k oled 144hrtz panel in my phone... to read lemmy.

And my pixel 6 is considered aging.

Im actually quite upset that lawmakers havent used this to pass generalized privacy protection.

They have an opportunity to end mass survailance, but thats OK if its US survailance

They're just gonna have to leave whenever Cara makes some dumb decision. It's the capitalist app cycle.

The problem is where things are getting the most expensive, that being food and housing, the markets are captured. You can't just say no to having food and housing.

This is where regulation is supposed to step in.

The open sourcing of the quake engine is where a lot of modern engines got their roots.

Picture a bank hostage situation. Police officer comes in with a fully loaded gun. A bank teller is being held at gunpoint by the robber. Never once in the history of ever has the police officer shot the bank teller.

That's what Israel is doing.

I need to preface this by saying it's really stupid that anyone's sending threats, but I think the reason they're doing it is because Nintendo has made a very hard-line stance against small esport events. You arent allowed to host events without their permission

This isn't Red Dawn. People will quickly find out how inadequate they are against a military.

If literally any Adobe competitor released a product for Linux they'd dominate that niche.

After End Game was that shift. It felt like they told all there was to tell, and the stakes were gone. It peaked.
