More like because capitalism is an inherently wasteful method of distributing essential goods. If you really think, in 2020, we can't figure out how to preserve food for people in warmer climates, I don't know what to…
So the more empty promises a CEO makes, the more valuable a company? And they say capitalism isn't broken. Have fun holding those bags I guess. I swear this is the logic of a small child. Dangle some candy in front of…
What makes you think that Tesla would be able to do that, given their reputation of not being able to manufacture cars that don't fall apart immediately upon rolling off the factory line? They kinda have to be able to…
So you still think it's a good thing that a private company should be handling important infrastructure and be able to say, on a whim, "Nop, we're not going to handle this because reasons. Sorry not sorry." How can you…
So, anyone here still think it's a good idea to privatize postal delivery?
Damn, my point went impressively far over your head huh.
Ah right, because using other tried and tested methods like providing everyone better mental healthcare options are boring. Just make an app! Apps solve everything! Apps! Apps! Apps! Oh right but providing better mental…
Yeah just keep throwing apps at every problem, that'll fix things eventually. lmao
You make it sound like the companies who run this shit are penniless, they're not, they're making millions of dollars of actual cash. There's no charity going on here.
> I feel like either I have gone crazy, or the world has. Occam's Razor time: capitalism doesn't work!
Who cares. That's where capitalism is now because letting it run rampant created and caused this. The bed was made, and now we all get to sleep in it.
So it's not real capitalism even though this industry is, quite literally, called "Venture Capitalism" okay.
Exactly this. You can't take "well this is happening but it's not real capitalism" even though everyone's calling it capitalism. It's capitalism. Capitalism is busted and rewards greed and concentration of wealth. It…
This is just capitalism working as expected and - wow news flash - it is a broken system.
"If you’ve ever ... peaked at the dash of your obnoxious neighbor’s new Tesla…you’ve used OSM." 1. peeked, not peaked 2. Teslas do not use OSM for the on-screen maps. They use Google maps. Tesla only uses OSM for the…
Sorry but "rich people are miserable because they have too much money" is not a real problem and I feel exactly zero sympathy for anyone in that position.
Is this a joke? Please tell me you're joking.
The only reason you'd think that's what communism is is if all your ideas about what "communism" is come from capitalist propaganda.
> Vimeo can be a good idea if you don't care about discoverability and just want to put your video on the internet without self hosting. That's a fair point yeah.
Some weird ones I'm seeing: Airtable doesn't seem to be an alternative to Google Sheets, it seems like a much different application than a generalized spreadsheet that can do math operations. Vimeo isn't really a…
Oh right yeah pressure from China, like what got youtube-dl entirely removed... Oh wait no that was the US government.
I'd love to know how you expect a computer to navigate a blizzard on an unpainted country road when even adaptive cruise control systems can't handle a bit of snow on the sensors. Sure this stuff works fine in Arizona…
