  • You might feel happy about this in your far left wonderland. But in the real world, the consequence of stuff like this spreading will be that CEOs will acquire better security, nobody will ever be able to even glance at them without getting tasered and you the consumer are going to pay for all of it.

    Changing the social security system into a centralized one might work, but note that scandinavia (the place that has championed such systems) is having pretty big problems with their health care systems as well.

    Perhaps IT work has tarnished my political mind as well, but I tend to think more and more that it’s not about the ideology, but about the implementation that matters.

    That is the actual reason this happens. Another one is financial people trying to cut costs or something. Slack licensing is not a small cost if you have lots of people.

    However it should be said that IT and finance are supposed to support the company, not the other way around. If they’re choosing shit services they should be replaced with people who actually support the company.






  • Trump brilliantly figured out the best ways to get votes, and it worked. He has no reason to do anything he promised because either he just stops democracy (I don’t think so) or goes away in 4 years and is not allowed to run again – either way, he doesn’t need to care that much about popularity. The number one reason he wanted to become president was to get immunity from the numerous crimes he had done.

    That’s why I think the tariffs are not going to happen. It would directly hurt the richest corporations. Why would they do it? Because they promised to? Okay




  • No, actually…

    … but seriously, the Internet is so different from real life that no comparisons make sense. Opinions that would have been uttered by the craziest village idiots in a local gas station 30 years ago are now distributed and magnified by the social media machine. In the past, you could see with your eyes, hear with your ears and even smell with your nose which people you really really should not listen to, but in the internet, those people look exactly like you and me.

    And it’s all sapping your energy and time, the most precious resources you have.

    That’s why blocking is fine, even whole instances if they are shown to be crazy enough.

    Also, I would like to point out that the creators of the clients for the first community platforms (usenet) recognized early on the importance of shutting people up (killfiles).
