This was me up to about age 24. I just read books instead
I wouldn't exactly call it a children's story
if it makes my dick hard it's a woman duh
It's also because the devs are communists. Let's not skip that part lol
These guys seem cool but they're not the archive.org from the op article
there's some good 2d stuff on that instance too
We should be going back on there and proselytizing (and on this end, welcoming new users with h links to documentation etc.) btw if you're new I recommend checking out the various mobile clients. I personally use lemmy sync because of muscle memory from years of using it on reddit, but there's a number of open source ones too.
Same! And there's not a good email alternative that's as popular
Which client do you use?
Yeah wholesome mom and pop businesses getting eaten by larger, more specialized and efficient corpos is not a flaw, it's an inherent feature of capitalism. A worker at a specialized firm can manage dozens of apartments for the same salary as your aunt managing just one or two- she stands no chance in the long run. Same for retail stores and most other kinds of businesses really.
The only solution is democracy- having the larger more efficient firm be democratically owned by its workers and accountable to them and through them the community, rather to a cigar chomping investor hundreds of miles away
No, any CEO that tried to do this would get eaten alive, if not immediately by their board/investors then a bit later by competition from more ruthless ceos. In a capitalist system they literally have no other choice.
I don't really see any way to fix it from the inside. Things are going to get a lot worse before they get better, and not by methods they're going to like. I'm with bill burr here
