Emboldened oligarch in a plutocracy.
But also kleptocracy and really a kakistocracy disguised outwardly as an aristocracy or neo-monarchy as Raskin said.
Outside of just saying “America” or “Capitalism” How do we combine all of this into one satisfying, effective term?
And none of the forced tech support “AI” replacements work. And the companies don’t give a shit.
They have actually started serving ads with a skip button… That only skips to the next ad.
This is specifically about TV apps.
Steam didn’t start with physical hardware and then try to remove it. And stream doesn’t design, own and operate the hardware for the most part.
Was always inching closer, but looks like android has fully outstayed its welcome. The revolving door of executives hit its last person with any integrity on the ass on their way out the door.
Physical media or full rejection. Fuck you business school zombies squeezing blood from rocks
Its subtle, but the tone of that article’s coverage actually sucks… Is futurism a piece of shit?
What a waste of my tax dollars by the DOJ to try to recover spotify´s money for a broken system that they left open and are honestly probably exploiting themselves in parallel to inflate engagement numbers and take streams away from legit artists that they have to play. Remember, they want you in their app, they don’t give a shit about actual music. If you’ll just listen to random boops, they save cost in the middle. Not where I want the justice systems effort to go.
What’s the last “bombshell scandal that would ruin a company” that actually ruined a company?
You wouldn’t download a collection of all the art and knowledge ever documented in the entire history of the known universe…
So funny that all the musk brigaders on here, in full force, can only collectively muster 4 downvotes…
You are the wet farts of humanity.
1000%, we need to demand minimum functionality or stop perpetuating these fucking things by purchasing flawed products from flawed companies.
You just risk staying in limbo if not direct/literal effigy IMO… All young males in general have the earned reputation of typically being oblivious of expressed female romantic advances (just search Reddit, you’ll see 300 posts speaking to this per day). On top of that general difficulty, you have the compounding factor of their atypical mental processing.
So do what you think is right. Hope it works out for you both.
Yes to fuck musk, but also…
“Commanding lead” equals other manufacturers also didn’t have a functioning feature (and still don’t now).
Freedom rations are going up this week from 10 to 8!
The nuerodivergent part suggests you’re going to just need to be direct.
“I really enjoy our friendship, it’s important to me. I want to make sure we keep that friendship regardless, but I’ve also realized I might be developing more romantic feelings for you that I’d like to explore together - maybe you’ve had thoughts/feelings like that about me before? If not, that’s cool, I just feel better having said it to you so it’s out of my head :) but yeah, I like you and I’d like us to get dinner on an actual date date sometime and see how we both feel. What do you think?”
Or there’s always Margaret Cho’s technique…
No worries. Just phrase as “What are some android games that are good for kids, age X - X, with a traditionally feminine or “girly” aesthetic?”
That asks your same question, without implying (intentionally or not) that all girls are a “princess that likes pink”
Just whatever makes sense
You know what is a great android game for girls… Any good android game. And that’s because girls are people. They have a diverse set of interests and are not one single thing.
And if we entertained the idea that this was true and the core focus of this idea (it’s not) what do we think the chances are that the “appropriate person” will be one of two things:
Another cop
A subscription service digital surveillance company with that cop as a client that they report back to for “internal investigation”, as long as the bill is paid.
