Bingo. There aren’t simply a handful of uniquely shitty people who just happen to be uber rich and when they’re gone all will be fixed. When our economic and political systems enable and encourage the existence of such people, another one will always fill the void until we reform or replace the root cause.

Is wealth a euphemism for piss?

That was my first thought too. db0 has way less reddit-like mods than .world.

Do you feel safe biking on a road with a painted line “protecting” you from drivers?

How has your experience been so far?

Certainly! And that’s the problem. We’ve been spending billions to expand highways and add new highways through cities, while chronically under-funding public transit and designing roads that are unsafe to cyclists and pedestrians. As cities continue to grow, adding highway lanes counterintuitively increases traffic due to induced and latent demand, when the most people will be moved by public transit, walking and bicycling. The only cure to traffic is viable alternatives to driving.

We’ve induced a demand for cars by spending most of our transport budgets on widening highways and designing our cities for cars. As they say, build it and people will use it. Most people don’t care how they get around as long as it’s convenient and we’ve made the least efficient means of transporting people the default.

The article really shows a fundamental lack of knowledge and misunderstanding by Doug, however he still states “They say that the safe injection sites help and everything; well, the numbers don’t show that,” he said. "

When the evidence shows the exact opposite.

“i think Mr. Ford actually needs to be briefed by the Ministry of Health about the positive impacts of supervised consumption sites — we do know that where they are located, we’ve seen a reduction in overdose deaths and they are effective at reducing the transmission of HIV and Hepatitis C,” said Zoë Dodd, co-organizer of the Toronto Overdose Prevention Society.

Doug was being a compulsive liar, as per usual.

Minimum 10 vacation days though.:(

I find Facebook to as well.

Yep! Only about twice in several years though. Sometimes it’s the same company that started up or bough another company and gave your email without telling you.

No, it’s because you mentioned ancap. Capitalism is inherently hierarchical and unmitigated capitalism does not result in freedom.

A good solution is to take screenshots so it only counts as one visit instead of everybody viewing the post driving traffic to Twitter.

Or better yet, Mastodon / federated microblogging platforms.

The Linux memes today are 🔥

(But not as much as Windoze machines with CrowdStrike are today)

The new head of search Prabhakar Raghavan used to work at Yahoo search which he drove into the ground.

We need some catchy name for a “buy from local businesses” day that we can propose on prime day.

I can’t wait until more YouTube creators move to Peertube + donation platforms like Liberapay!

I’ve actually noticed more GPL-licensed projects give attribution to not only the original author but all contributors.

Whereas I can’t tell you how many times I’ve worked on proprietary software where the company didn’t give attribution for MIT-licensed code. Unlike GPL’d code, the author has no way of knowing that they weren’t attributed since the code is proprietary.

I believe GPL does have an attribution requirement btw:

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:

a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or

b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it;

Thank you for clarifying, I edited my comment. I was referring to coreboot but did not know that it was not yet widely supported in Framework laptops.
