    This is Jehan Pages, the top developer behind GIMP, a free open source photo editor. Adobe executives hate Jehan. Because of his hard work, Adobe lost millions of dollars

    Jump

  • Agreed, but technically Adobe didn't lose any money. They've made billions. Could they have made more? Sure, that is always possible, but that isn't the same as losing money

  • Pretty much every day someone parks their car on the tram tracks and blocks our city's tram network from operating

    Jump

  • I like it, the best of both ideas

  • Or any car abandoned on the tracks becomes public property and is auctioned off to improve the trams

  • Okay, that's fair. No one should be forced to vote for a genocide ever. And any system that tries to force people to vote for genocide to defeat fascism is not worth saving... But even on the issue of genocide, Democrats were the lesser evil. Democrats protested genocide while Republicans proudly cheer for it.

  • Tbf, our two party system is truly awful. We need to fight for a modern multiparty democracy with proportional representation

  • If we were more civically engaged as a population it would not have gotten this bad.

    Yes and no. Yes, if everyone fought tirelessly for years to force our politicians to actually represent us then our system could be much better. But, our system is so deeply and unfathomably undemocratic / corrupt that it is cruel and unfair to put all the blame on the people. Humans are finite creatures so pouring more of our life into politics takes it from other aspects of our life. If everyone is over worked and exhausted then they often don't have time for politics.

  • Youtube seems to be blocking access to a seriously large amount of publicly listed videos

  • Without disinformation, people will naturally work to improve democracy which will eventually expand it to the economy (socialism), so disinformation is arguably a necessary evil to protect the capital class from democracy

  • Guided By Voices

    Jump

  • Socialism is democracy expanded to the economy. And I hope we can all agree that democracy is better than feudalism / oligarchy. The unchecked power disparities that capitalism creates betray every ideal that democracy stands for

  • Only to a degree. A terrible system like chattel slavery or fascism is always going to be terrible. Likewise, the wealth inequalities that capitalism creates will likely regress a country into an Oligarchy if given enough time.

  • When in Rome...

    Jump

  • It sounds ridiculous, yes, but there are US software engineers who basically work for minimum wage full time doing freelance work because that is all they can find

  • Province may ban photo radar after Brampton spent millions on cameras, ticket-processing centre.

    Jump

  • I respect your experiences, but we have a lot of data that shows these cameras actually do save lives.

  • Boy, 11, shot dead after playing doorbell-ringing prank in Houston, police say

    Jump

  • I don't care if the kid threw a brick through my window, murdering a child is completely unforgivable and there is zero justification for it.

    Imo, the only time shooting someone is even remotely justified is in the defense of someone's life or as a very last resort when there are no other options.

  • Classic cars will still need a smog test in California after lawmakers reject Jay Leno bill

    Jump

  • There will always be these stupid loopholes

    Initially, yes, but overtime we should be able to refine our laws to close up the vast majority of harmful loopholes

  • Storing cars is also devastating for the environment and society. We have as much land and resources devoted to housing cars as we do to housing people. I've seen so many houses that have garages as big as their house + a paved driveway + each city needs 3 publicly funded parking spots per car.

    We need less cars. There simply isn't a future were we beat climate change without getting the majority of people to take trains, buses, and bikes

  • Inspiring. Innovating.

    Jump

  • Hey now, we also build bigger and bigger stroads and bigger cars every year which kill more and more children every year.

    I swear we won't stop with the urban sprawl until our entire country is covered in asphalt

  • Should i pirate EVERYTHING or only things that i bought, but do not own?

    Jump

  • Ethics are very important to me so I say always support worker owned companies/ small indie teams, always support books, but never support evil mega corps like Amazon, Disney, EA, Activision, etc.

    Also, any company that has donated to the Republican neo-fascist party? Fuck them. If you wouldn't give money to Putin then you should never ever give money to anyone who will give that money to Putin's puppets (conservatives)

  • Why China has a tech manufacturing advantage over the U.S.

    Jump

  • I never understood why the US would educate people and then try to kick them out in a short time frame. You are basically making other countries better and gaining little from it.

    I agree, but at the same time... this is the same country that gave their own citizens (3 entire generations!) lead poisoning and used to lobotomize women. So, I am afraid that expecting intelligence, humanity, and logic from the US can only lead to heartbreak and disappointment.

  • After a Tesla driver plowed into a young Florida couple in 2019, Tesla executives said they had no data about the crash. Then a hacker found it.

    Jump

  • Not surprising since they're part of the capital class. Our laws exist to bind the poor (workers) and to protect the rich
