  • Millennials are watching monthly student loan payments skyrocket from $500 to $5000 under Trump: This will ‘crash the economy’

    Jump

  • this is the 6th time in the past 2 days i see this argument. blaming the people for using the system that has been forced on us over the past 20 years to bolster GDP.

    i smell an attempted narrative change.

  • How is GOG Galaxy Still Not On Linux?

    Jump

  • I found Heroic today. Same games that won't run on Lutris won't run on Heroic either. The biggest disappointment was that it crashed a few times and I gave up entirely when it froze up. I'm not saying Lutris is flawless, it certainly isn't, but my experience overall has at least been acceptable.

  • Rare Earths Reality Check: Ukraine Doesn't Have Minable Deposits

    Jump

  • people have already forgotten that trump was already going to leave nato last time he was in power and would have if he'd won instead of biden. which essentially forced putin to invade at the worst possible time for them or risk waiting until 2026 for another opportunity assuming trump would even win again.

  • Trump revokes collective bargaining rights at TSA to crush union

  • seems luigi didn't make the message loud enough.

  • Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing

    Jump

  • it's called a forced ipo and if's a thing in the US specifically.

  • Denmark's postal service to stop delivering letters

    Jump

  • This is a direct consequence of the free market act from 2023 that no longer obligated PostNord to deliver post and stopped paying for the service.

    it should be highlighted that PostNord was no longer obligated to deliver post because they failed to do so in the first place.

    The one saving grace with all of this is the list of "horror examples" from why privatization doesn't work. PostNord isn't the only privatized entity and the others have also failed to live up to the socialist high quality standard that free market capitalism tried to replace - but it sure has the most really ass backwards shit examples of how fucking stupid privatization is.

    everyone who fucking voted for this should be ashamed.

  • at a certain size companies are required to go public. and indeed, as a public company your first and only responsibility is ensuring shareholders can grow capital based on nonsense quarterly projections.

  • Elon Musk suggests the U.S. should privatize the Postal Service and Amtrak

    Jump

  • this is almost what has been happening in my country.

  • Melbourne start-up launches 'biological computer' made of human brain cells

    Jump

  • i wrote a short story a decade ago where people temporarily rent out their brain to act as a global scale bio super computer. and how people were large scale cheated into needing to rent out their brains for the rich to exploit.

    i have to find where i put it!

  • After mass firings, the IRS is poised to close audits of wealthy taxpayers, agents say

    Jump

  • but the payback from auditing the rich and finding cheats is way more than the few cents per poor.

  • What is something you've done that you believe very few other people have done? Only one caveat: it can't be cool or jealousy-provoking.

  • I fell out of an aeroplane with no parachute and lived.

    Imagine if the airplane was actually in mid flight tho!

  • Wish I could retire now actually

    Jump

  • It's insane to me that people think they will somehow go braindead the minute they don't have a job. Is that how they act once they get home after a long and exhausting day of labouring? Just sit down in the couch and die, staring at the white wallpaper until they collapse? From my only related experience with actually existing in this life, I fucking hate how I don't have time for anything, ANYTHING, ever, because work work work, only to go home and work work work some more as an adult with actual responsibilities. Retirement ya, i might get a quarter of my shit in order, at best, but I'd probably just stock it with more responsibilities that I really don't have time for, but a window of more time means a window of thinking about more shit that has been neglected or needs doing because things always do.

    Windows doesn't "just work"

    Jump

  • i setup my old job with linux internally. never had issues. day i quit boss told me to install windows so he can find a replacement employee. sure.

    3 years later. boss wants me back. they've had nothing but problems. but i'm not allowed to install linux again.

    he says, "if windows didn't have so many problems you would be out of a job."

  • FBI Warns iPhone, Android Users—We Want ‘Lawful Access’ To All Your Encrypted Data

    Jump

  • fbi want direct access to encrypted data while simultaneously also all data to be encrypted in order to be protected from china?

    do explain how this is all going to work because it's extremely confusing.

  • Trump's treatment of Ukraine just cost the US a refueling point

    Jump

  • norway doesn't really count. they have too much independent wealth to need to play by rules set through bullying and abuse. and a natural solidarity because they don't need to concern themselves with economical risks or worries.

  • the problem with that is - if everyone switches to forks, development of firefox stops, killing it, and the forks are guaranteed to follow.

  • yeah i'm not going to put in the effort of creating a torrent for some local file i made on my system and then teach people how to use traditional method of download outside of an app store (this assuming they even have a PC since most people only have phones nowadays and then you can forget torrents), install and setup a bittorrent client (after explaining what a client is and does) only so i can drag and drop a torrent file into the chat for them to download LIKE WE USED TO BE ABLE TO DO WITH ALL FILES back in the day. the point is; software technology has literally and artificially been REGRESSED to 56k era limitations.
