This is also known as “Libertarian Socialism.” Interestingly enough, this idea predates the current definition of Libertarianism by decades.

A fuel cell car is an EV.

It’s also why there’s no way Google can sustain these numbers. They pay workers like a random startup, just without any possibility of striking it rich on stock options. They are likely to be hemorrhaging talent at all engineering positions.

Eventually, we will need a fediverse version of StackOverflow, Quora, etc.

It was explained in a deleted scene: https://www.cracked.com/article_18720_7-famous-movie-flaws-that-were-explained-in-deleted-scenes.html

I’m of the opinion that it will require human interaction to fix this. It can’t be purely solved via algorithms.

What people don’t realize is that the original Google search algorithm, PageRank, effectively looks at how real humans interacted with the websites they were indexing. Only websites referenced by other websites were being considered by Google’s search engine. And at the time, that meant real human beings were making those links. This gave them a real advantage over other, purely algorithmic search engines.

Something like this will have to be recreated. We will have to figure out a way of prioritizing search results that real human beings have found to be useful.

I’ve basically blocked all meme communities.

Google will have to resort to human curation of search results at some point.

Utopias are impossible. The name itself literally means “no place,” as in it couldn’t exist.

The company is pretty much a big scam. There’s a reason why Moskovitz calls it the next Enron. Musk would turn it into a crypto company if he thought it would pump up the stock more. As a result, the actual business side of Tesla doesn’t really need to work.

There are very few real communists left. On here, it’s going to be pretty much all tankies.

The author is wrong. It is only a matter of time before Germany goes back to nuclear. Physics won’t change regardless of short-term opinion.

Tesla is nothing more than an elaborate stock pumping exercise built on a business of selling crappy cars to techbros. It’s valuation is propped up by lies, hype and virtual signaling. It also can’t survive without copious amounts of government subsidies and low interest loans, since the car business is so capital intensive. At some point, all of these problems will come to a head. It’s a matter of when, not if, that Tesla collapses in some form. Though it may be bought out before formally filing for bankruptcy.

People need to stop using Twitter. It’s like trying to using AOL or whatever now. It’s basically a dead product.

Anti-abortion is sponsored by the Catholic Church. It both predates and exists outside of the US anti-abortion movement.

Tesla is a massive financial Ponzi scheme that uses the hype of BEVs to prop the up stock price. At some point, the hype and lies (plus the end of most subsidies) comes to an end. This will eventually bring down Tesla and reveal that BEVs are not some panacea technology.

That’s the problem with decades of “fuck the poor” policies. Eventually, people will suddenly realize that they aren’t in fact, “temporary embarrassed millionaires.” They will find out that the policies they’ve been conned into supporting are specifically targeted at hurting them, and will drive them to utter destitution if not to the grave. The only good news is that these far right policies will do so much damage and cause so much pain that it will inevitably create the circumstances for its collapse.

The whole site is run by a Venture Capital company, so it attracts that kind of clientel.

And that is causing real enshittification. It is increasingly just about promotion of certain products while rejecting criticisms. There is less and less honest discussion. I get the feeling that mods will soon no longer allow “anti-tech” viewpoints altogether.

It’s no longer a good place for news, discussion, or even real opinions. It’s just an echo chamber of hate and closed-mindedness, and increasingly just bots talking to each other.
