Making things scarce - even when there’s plenty of it ( such as land -> rent or knowledge -> patents) is the foundation of capitalism. And monopolies can only exist if there’s artificial scarcity.

Play store charged a one time fee for lifetime. I didn’t see it changing.


Well they do stack ranking. The promotions are not guaranteed, but the firings for people at the bottom of the leaderboard are.


Hold what? Who?
Maybe you’ll be a good fit for joining the league of nations. You see, they are the seed for the world government, and they’re going pretty well /s


I think it makes sense. The bill will be paid off from taxes, so it makes sense that the bailout comes with company stock transfer to workers.
It’s fair for many reasons. One of them is that billionaires and corporations don’t pay taxes.
What about, instead of 50%, make the bailed out company be 100% owned by the people - not the government, the people.


Iannis Varoufakis (there’s probably 2+ typos there) has coined something like digital feudalism.
I think it makes more sense when imperialism is between countries like in this case, but if you get rid of imperialism you still have feudalism between the tech companies and the users of their monopolistic products, on their terms.


"Im sorry that’s ghoulish as f**k,
Well let’s see what AI Ozzy has to say:
Checks out. Pretty sure real Ozzy would have said something similar. Turing test is approved.
I left for codeberg. I am using codeberg.
It doesn’t have free ci, so I’m still looking for more options.
Yep I applied with the form. Didn’t get it. But well their free stuff is limited, that’s all.
I already left for codeberg, but I want another one. What else is out there? And don’t say self host, life’s too short for that.


Too soon, this should happen after they win what they want.


Only as long as the state has monopoly on violence ( as in physical violence as well as in non physical threats: taxes, fines etc). When the workers take their share of the monopoly, the tables turn in their favour.


As long as the compensation is unfair no one bats an eye. Don’t you dare pay fair compensation, oh no that’s not what unions are for. /s


And that’s the whole point. Why should 10 private jets with total of 10 passengers get 10x more attention than a single airbus with 300 passengers?


That’s like a medium sized oil tanker.


Yeh I forked GitHub and later today I’ll be making a clone in codeberg and gitlab.


I read the headline and stopped by to say I forked the repo on the phone now even though I don’t own bambu stuff.


Haha I’m laughing to myself because I’m watching SG1 for the first time and yesterday it was the episode where O’Neil says his name is Kirk. Then he changes his mind and says Skywalker.


Yep the main driver is that people didn’t need to fly, it’s an option, so they had incentives to make it look safe (just being safe is very hard but not enough).
While most surgeries are not really optional and the only incentives are profit by hospitals. What are you going to do, not have surgery?


And even better for people that don’t live in us or Europe, right? Right?
