We forgot we could regulate capitalism like we did 100 years go. Let’s make taxes great again. Then take that money and pour it into education. If the states really want to control that, fine, that’s a compromise that can probably still end up working out in the end.

It is called regulation in sane parts of the world.

Sadly, those areas seem to be diminishing rapidly until more people enter the Find Out phase.

Conservatives don’t care what’s true, they govern off vibes.

Well, here is a perfect vibe check: y’all feel like most people you know are financially all set? Not worried about work or a sudden medical expense? How’s it feeling out there?

Does it feel like Trump and his billionaire boys club are helping you?

Union up! LFG!

Your sense of history is brutally stunted.

By helping eject from those systems. There’s lots of cool open source projects based on all sorts of different hardware. And you can self-host some bits and pieces of your digital life if you really feel motivated to.

I don’t know if it’s much help but I never said it would solve all the things you seem to want it to. There are some alternatives out there for people feeling trapped by big tech, I’m just trying to share a small piece of that.

Maybe we disagree on the kinds of technological problems society needs to solve. 🤷‍♂️

Ok, but the solution is super easy, low cost, and right in front of you. Pick up a Raspberry Pi if you want to go even cheaper. If you are uncomfortable with electronics, you can still piece together a bunch of cool stuff just using USB as your interface of choice.

Also, 10" mini racks are cool.

Lots of cool stuff happening in tech if you look outside of the big corporations.

You can order a Linux handheld n100 touchscreen for under $300. Technology is absolutely fun today.

What are you a flip-flopper?

It is amazing how mad these two words in the right context can make me. Getting real, real fuckin tired of the assholes getting into power all the time.

What lesson didn’t you learn the first time that you feel like you need to learn again?

Nor will I and so I would argue this actually isn’t newsworthy here.

I don’t need to hear about anyone getting a bunch of money to cook up a shit stew in case anyone was wondering. You can miss me with that “news.”

You’re here now. There’s not an ad in sight. Actually people talking to you.

Why do you want to go check out some corpo bullshit?.I am serious. I don’t understand why people want our chat forums to be run by venture capital.

Where can an average american like myself best give money to send a big “fuck off” to my president for turning his back on an ally and a big Slava Ukraini to people fighting fascism in the trenches?

Who is scanning random qr codes into signal?

As someone similar to you, blocking and stuff seems the right approach vs. trying to find a specific instance.

Back all this bullshit up with cited sources or fuck off with this concept that doesn’t even pass the smell test.

What does this have to do with the downtown congestion pricing?
