There’s a reason everyone and their brother want you to install an app these days.
Have you read Ishmael?
The greed isn’t inherent in the system, in the humans. We have to fix our self-serving nature first.
This is an interesting thought angle, thanks for sharing! Given the conditions you’ve stated, why haven’t books inflated in price given the abundance of libraries in developed worlds?
That’s all of us here 😂

Are there any examples of ‘for the kids’ legislation that isn’t just something like backdoor encryption masquerading as protecting the young?
Meanwhile, YT Shorts sees me watch one video then gives me nothing but that.
This is just as lopsided and reactionist of a response as government regulated screen time. We already regulate lots of things for children/minors that could be called unnecessary under the umbrella of ‘parent better.’ Labor, tobacco/alcohol, gambling, etc.
The answer and discussion are nuanced and lumping them into a black and white choose a side debate isn’t reality.
Let’s charge 8$/month for verification maybe add a checkmark so people know!
Loads of videos don’t have those either. I watched three to four car repair videos yesterday and none had sponsored segments.
Some of my followed creators have them, but they are the minority. I’d love to see some overall stats, as my experience may not be the norm.
Agreed the credit agency breaches are especially fucked since you don’t even have a say or not in participating.
Then they make you PAY to freeze your account. It’s fucking racket.
I disagree that they went downhill post-purchase. They were shit from the very start when pendragon decided to burn one community to promote his own in the name of capitalism.
Science IS political, at all levels. You can’t compete without funding and your institutions will pressure you to perform a certain way.
This is patently false. Officers across all branches skew more liberal while Marines skew heavily conservative.
Do you have any data from a period where you paid cash for most things you could? Gas, groceries, etc.
Would be interesting to see the comparison.
You’re ignoring the psychological effect of seeing the wealth transfer with something like cash as opposed to plastic (or digital).
You aren’t immune to those reactions, just like people can still be impacted by a placebo even if they know it’s one.
Now if you’re rich enough to not care, thats awesome, but he effect still remains.
Agreed. Saying PP four times in two sentences triggers my ad sense. Capitalism never capitulates.
Are you assuming this simply because apple doesn’t state the reason they end a relationship? Access journalism isn’t new or unique to apple.
