People with that much money are surrounded by yes men and other people with that much money. None from outside their circles reaches them. As a result, they live in an echo chamber where all they do is for the best of anything they care about. It’s not, but no one will tell them otherwise. Even worse, even and if an outsider reaches them to denounce their wrongs, the echo chamber will find ways to blame the outsider and defend the rich and powerful.

TLDR: The segregation of population by earth, with people so rich that the money is incomprehensible is the problem. The current cast of rich people are just the latest group to do the same as the previous oligarchs.

As I get older, it gets harder to listen to it.

Section 240 protects you from users posts, but not necessarily from promoting them above others algorithmically. You could find them liable for their prioritization choices on the timeline over one that just displays things chronologically. It’s been down time and time again that the display is not a chronological one to increase engagement. That is an editorial decision that should be liable for.

I’m partial to “mal parido” meaning that someone was birthed wrong (hard to translate). You can always add a “de mierda” as a nice touch, or “ándate à la concha de tú madre” to close the insult’s loop.

Same. I still miss bacon reader.

Do you own a smartphone?

Is there an ideal version of communism you can point us to?

Because your laptop cannot have Netflix, or a DRM enabled browser?

Sokoban.

You mean like CNET?

Or it’s equipment obtained via a third party (the same way the scape sanctions)…

Indeed

Good question

Colombia is a country in South America. Columbia is not.

You are so clearly well read on the topic that you cannot spell the name of a country you are accusing of creating the term. It was Pero Rico scholars that counted the term, and this it is a creation of the USA.

It’s a VR headset. It’s not a social experience.

You are missing the point. Open source hardware is about the design and drivers for the hardware being open. This means that when you buy a component you get full specs and the source code to make it run. That way you are not ruining windows 3.1 in 2024 because the company that created your train software does not update it and you can’t legally replace it (this is true right now).

I know that meme!
