You can create your own server and disable signups whenever you want.

I’m still trying to wrap my head around it.

I just realized there’s no legal way to earn money without getting fucked or fucking others over.

It would be nice if they did that, or something similar involving Linux on phones.

I don’t think they have anywhere near the resources, unfortunately.

I’ve been using an addon for that for awhile: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-youtube-shorts/

Fair enough. If you want to replace everything I said about the left with centrists, then go ahead.

If the left genuinely wanted to combat fascism, then they would work to reduce the disparity in wealth.

The solutions are right in front of our faces, but we refuse to enact them because that would mean taking power away from our rulers and putting it back in the hands of workers.

The left is doing their part to make sure fascism succeeds, and we should hold them accountable for it if we want fascism to fail.

Right. It can and has been done before while still turning a profit. People can, did, and still do use self-hosting as a way to play things for free. It has never been the reason for why a game failed financially, though. Most people just don’t have the knowledge or the interest to go through the extra steps required to play for free. A lot of them buy things because they genuinely wanted to support the developers.

The abuse is the point. The people in charge spend every day figuring out more ways to take power away from people and give it to the corporation. It’s an art and a science at this point.

Money and control. There is no technical reason, and in fact it would be easier to just let people host their own servers.

Allowing self-hosting used to be the norm for online games. Businesses realized a long time ago that gamers stopped having standards and would accept any abuse to not be left out of the hype.

Anyone who dissects superheroes like that seems like an insufferable loser. I would just ignore them and move on.

My concern would be federation. I don’t think the fediverse is set up so you can run the same service on the clearnet and dark net.

It’s not propaganda and nor is it limited to Israel’s removed. Around the world, young people have much more respect for China than the USI.

You should leave your bubble every once and awhile so you’re not as ignorant about everything outside of it.

The left isn’t doing enough to address the cost of living crisis so people vote for the opposition even if it’s worse.

I blame the left, always, because they should and do know better. They choose to be greedy, entitled pieces of shit that focus on anything but reducing the disparity in wealth.

They would rather have fascism than communism, so that’s what they get every time.

I read this as the USI would have to pay Iran.

People are complicated.

Every once in awhile, someone on the far right will do what people on the left should’ve done a long time ago. A major reason for this is because right-wingers tend to have bigger balls than those on the left. Stop being pussies, y’all.

This could result in more employees for businesses that don’t do Israel’s bidding.

Anything, anything but pass the cost onto the people who can actually afford it: the ruling class.

I don’t ever have breakage due to systemd.

Gotta keep prices artificially high so the little people never see how much they’re getting fucked.

Hopefully this will start normalizing wearing masks in public.

Really goes to show how much our rulers recognize the importance of energy. It’s not so that we can drive our cars or power our computers; it’s so their civilization can progress faster than other civilizations.
