Why have both in cars? A car is expected to last 10, 15 years at least and C to C is already starting to become the new standard. I feel like if you buy a car, you can probably buy a phone cord for it...

Certainly could be, but probably an optimistic take. Most likely they're just trying to do what corporations have been doing for ages, which is to weaponize government policy to prevent competition. They don't want restrictions that will materially impact their product, they want restrictions that will materially impact startups to make it more difficult for them to intrude on the established space.

That's equally stupid though... why shouldn't I be able to tamper with my phone's operating system? And how is it any of a website's business if I do?

When making long noodles. Make a circle with your thumb and index. Bring your index all the way to the base of your thumb. Somewhere in there is the amount you will eat (of dry noodles that fit). Find it, and never make the wrong amount again.

Even if it was, it likely wouldn't be enforced, since it's overseen by lawmakers and judges who have only the barest sense of what a webpage even is.

They are legally required to have that banner. Sorry.

... yes, and I am obviously very against giving that same power to websites lol. An app is built from the ground up as a UX created by the company, and that is what you are signing up for when you use an app. A browser should be a contained way of rendering data from some webserver according to a user's preferences. Google is apparently trying to "app-ify" web protocols in order to give themselves more power over a user's experience to the detriment of the user.

But we can "prove" that isn't true because what if you aren't disassembled on the first side? Just copied over. Either you have a sense and control of both bodies at once, or in a real teleport where you are disassembled, you're gone the moment you teleport and the "you" that remains is another different person with exactly your thoughts, feelings, motivations, memories, etc.

Check your local library. Many of them have 3D printers and will let you use them for just the cost of the materials.

Just curious, why are you assuming they are American?

Capitalism is not an ideology though. It's just what naturally happens when humans interact with each other. Saying it's an ideology is like saying atheism is a religion. No, it's what happens when there is no religion.

Crime is also not endemic to capitalism. It happens in all societies, including communist ones.

I dont, and to my knowledge never said, that someone can only care about one. The problem is confusing cause and effect, and being unwitting pawns for the other side. Let me explain by using one of the examples in the OP, nazism:

  1. Assume that gig economy is caused by nazism
  2. Gig economy is a big problem, therefore nazism is a big problem
  3. By chasing nazism everywhere and aggressively trying to stamp it out wherever gig economy is seen, we will fix gig economy

And you can replace nazism with any of the other causes mentioned, white supremacy, fascism, whatever.
This reasoning pattern isnt productive though. Even if nazism is a big problem where you live, fixing it wont solve gig economy, and chasing ghosts wherever you see gig economy just leads to conflict between our side of the class war.
I mean just look at this thread. Look how many people are just calling me names! This is how entrenched the problem is.
If you want to fix fascism, fix fascism. If you want to fix gig economy, fix gig economy. But if you want to fix gig economy, don't try to fix fascism, white supremacy, and nazism wherever you see gig economy.

Reddit mods want to be activists and be a part of this, but they are too afraid of losing the tiny irrelevant piece of power they have to actually do anything.

Greater income disparity than pre-revolution France. Pushing of gig culture and baiting people into financial ruin with short term incentives. And all people want to do is call each other fascist and nazi and white supremacist and bicker. Can't you see it's a distraction that's keeping you there? Nah, probably not.

How yall are going to look at gig economy and somehow make it into identity politics? Good lord.

That is untrue. Reddit would do just fine without their mods. Mods dont moderate subreddits out of the goodness of their heart to volunteer their time. They do it because they like having power over their communities. Reddit is threatening to take away that power from them, which is why they all crumbled so fast. It is unbelievably easy to find new people to take power over an internet community.
