Okay but does seeing the blender after the honeymoon period fill you with guilt about your lack of discipline to stick to something?

Which is a form of capital. Our politicians use that power for monetary profit. That shits just intrinsic to building an entire system with capitalism at it’s heart like we been doing since the late 60s
People miss that Adam Smith in his writing was arguing in favor of small enterprise and in favor of the government busting up monopolies
Power and benefit, also sometimes referred to with the term “capital”
SAFe SCRUM is a fucking scam. Anyone who proposes it as a solution to a problem is out of touch and doesn’t recognize a waterfall when they see one
And that problem is called “ADHD”
Cool. Back into COVID-19 hibernation for me
Also that wasn’t me trying to be a dick. I realized I might have come across as a dick there. I just meant to be supporting your idea
That falls under the subheading “however we can”
No, its the asshole CEOs very specifically who will survive the climate catastrophe and any other societal systemic failures. They’ve insulated themselves from consequences by hoarding material wealth, and when they can’t do that, fiat wealth to represent material wealth. In 2008, we even bailed them out “oh that last thing you tried didn’t work? Here. Here’s a bunch of money we took from society as a whole. Enjoy your golden parachutes. You’ll need them later”
As a populace we need to start showing up in the streets and obstructing these fuckers wealth streams however we can
That and Disney decided they wanted to break (sorry. Let me use the business terms. “Disrupt”) the market by having a vertical integration of streaming platform and production company. The thing is, it did great for the in the short term, but may have harmed them long term. Meanwhile everyone else is now chasing the model that may actually be losing Disney money because short term greed is the only driver in our economy
Yuuup. This blog post is the exact sentiment I see from people with postgraduate degrees in the field of machine learning. The current, public facing, machine learning AI implementations are various forms of theft, grift, and exploitation. They exist as the new testaments to violence of the neocolonial era
The first one I encounter.
Did I do it? Or did I fundamentally misunderstand the question
Okay but that’s ALSO what Peacock is. Look at peacock’s catalog and Netflix catalog and tell me its better rather than just different
Let me take this opportunity to get on my soapbox to sat this:
NBC / Universal were one of the first movers in streaming with Seeso. Did they learn lessons from Seeso about how to run a good streaming service? No they abandoned it almost immediately basically saying “this whole streaming thing is just a fad, anyway”
The results? Now its hard to watch those old (genuinely excellent) Seeso shows, and NBC / Universal has managed to make itself late to the streaming party when they were a first actor. And the service itself? Ass. Total cheeks. Major butt. Absolute balloon knot. It always has technical issues AND scanning within an episode is hard because it doesn’t do it in chunks, it acts like a slider in constant motion.
Conclusion: don’t look at Peacock as the idiot child of the streaming landscape. View it as the logical conclusion to media companies’ corporate greed. They want you to pay money for a service that sucks, that’s chock full of ads (oh! That’s another thing. Where do you get off showing me three minutes of ads, Peacock, who do you think you are?), and doesn’t even work decently right while a lot of these UX problems have been solved for over two decades (DVD scanning is easy and fine).

How do we rewild academia? Like I feel like this sounds like me being a JAQ off, but like, actually. I want academia to be rewilded. I don’t know how to do that. I want to talk to someone about how to do that
PornHub is a monopoly. They own xnxx, redtube, xhamster, and several production companies such as brazzers. Their categorization system has also had some ranging impacts on actresses’ ability to get work after they turn 22. I highly recommend listening to The Butterfly Effect by Jon Ronson.
ALSO so we’re clear, I’m not a fan of this legislation because its dumb as fuck and doesn’t help anyone, least of all sex workers. When people lose easy access to porn it usually results in WORSE conditions for sex workers because suddenly there’s more demand in places without safety infrastructure.
This particular platform (Lemmy) probably isn’t the place to get the movement going either. Some of the biggest instances are chock full of folks thinking this particular genocide isn’t real
Nothing wounds me more than people saying if I cared I’d remember
