Well, maybe we need to decide as a society what exactly enough means. I'd argue that anything above 100m is excessive, especially while other people are literally starving. But sur…

Talk about frustration reading these comments. People knee-deep in Kool-aid, thinking this is the only and god-given way things should be.

Making crazy changes like squeezing out every last dollar out of your existing, loyal customers (looking at any PE firm ever) certainly affects the wind I'd wager.

No? By that logic you sell a dollar for 103c and that's not enough to quench your greed. Obviously both statements are gross oversimplifications. But I could not help myself and le…

It's always been a catchy propaganda slogan. Nothing more.

they can hardly imagine a world outside SV, let alone the US. I'm not holding my breath

tbf the east-west split never really stopped haunting Germany. its not like it came suddenly. there are a lot of systemic errors that lead to this.

Yeah, I don't agree with a single point. I know we're all in our bubbles, but none of what OP listed seems left-wing to me. I know I've never thought these things to be true. If an…

I knew what he meant and still thought it spawned an interesting discussion. Mainly because I've never quite intuitively understood that saying. So, I did not take it as OP being t…

yup, I still wonder if BAT was onto something. loved the idea, never took off. oh well

What do you mean? What kind of limiting of your freedom are you afraid of regarding steps that should be taken to avoid this? I fear we need some government imposed limitations. Ho…

It's our version of Thanks Obama.

This comparison threw me for such a loop. What an odd way to present a point.

oh wow, there are like 10 opened every minute. seems spam-y

isn't Gen Z the first generation that's scoring worse on all kinds of tests than their parents did? seems like this time it may actually be different. and peer reviewed.

Yeah. "put some HTML on a server" may as well say "split a few atoms" for people who have never done so. No one is saying that it's impossible to learn all that stuff. But it takes…

tbh if I start worrying about poop particles in my day to day, I fear I'm one step closer to becoming a germaphobe. plus I feel if that's something that truly worries you, you'd st…

of course it is. this seems so obvious to me. I even wrote into chatGPTs "memory" to NOT ASK FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS, because it's crazy annoying imo. it respects it about 40% of the t…

Do you not have a self-hosted instance of every single service you use? :/
