Capitalism has carcinisation for rent. If something stay solvent long enough, it will turn into a rent seeking subscription.

He’s a grifter, of course he will vote for someone that will make grifting easier.

Having the capabilities to take on debt helps to garner investments.

You can do a joint venture, take on a bit of debt but get more money of it.

And we’ve seen many mega corpos finance their venture throught debt (see Uber business model).

So I’d say that it was true in the past, but corpos are getting bolder.

The point is that major shareholder will try to hide insider knowledge to sell their stock before a big crash.

They pump the stock value as much as possible and sell it before it crashes. They make a shit ton of money and some suckers are left holding the bag.

Because higher stock value means more collateral for debt.

You’d be surprised on how much debt is used in even small companies.

There was a meme going around a month or so ago of 5 AI companies jerking off, representing the circular financing that this article talks about.

From the moment these “investments” were announced, people were already raising flags about circular investments.

If the apartment/house layout is good for the roomba, it is a great tool. It doesn’t replace vacuuming and floor washing, but it does reduce the dirtness on the floor.

Lemmy is a social media after all, and we have to assume that what we write is public.

Lemmy is great because many instances allow people to create accounts without an email, so you can create burner accounts if you want.

This isn’t an oversight. If you aren’t comfortable with the coversations you are participating in or the upvote/downvote you make, you either don’t participate or you create a burner account for that.

I know that already, I’m fine with what I said.

My comment was misguided because it didn’t take the US social context into account.

You can’t say it, but I can though.

Categorising Palestine Action as a terrorist group is ultra dumb.

Same, and I use portainer to manage my docker compose stacks.

I can bring down a container without bringing down the whole stack of services.

No we shouldn’t. Anyone can create an instance and scrape whatever data.

Assume that all the posts and comment you make are public and linked to your real identity and don’t say things you wouldn’t say in person.

It’s a pretty simple concept.

It is how its done today.

Every semi-big or big corpos gamble their money trying to be the one coming on top and capture the market.

So it is not surprising to see that.

I had a rough morning and your comment made it worst.

In GrapheneOS, Settings -> Battery -> Charging Optimization.

It reeks of shitty boss. I’ve heard the same bullshit from old folks 20 years ago that couldn’t use their computers to save their live.

When everyone’s an asshole, the common factor is you.

I bet my hand to the fire that Bill Gates didn’t eat avocado toast and made coffee at home and that’s why he is a billionaire today.

And it is still true today. Windows has the lion share of the market because we were raised with Windows and the vast majority of people don’t want to learn a new OS.

The IT paradox :

-“Why am I paying for IT? everything runs fine”

-“Why am I paying for IT? nothing works”

They were probably brought there through human trade of some sorts. I doubt they covered that range without causing massive issues and destruction on its path in such a short time.
