But who else other than Israel has the motive to attack a humanitarian vessel? Not once but twice in two days and also has done the same to every single mission towards Gaza?

There’s only way to spin it. Did Israel even deny it?? They didn’t because they want people to know it was them. It’s a scare tactic and that doesn’t work if it’s some random guy with a drone

Meanwhile they’ll lose their shit if they see a small boat with refugees trying to enter their country

And why aren’t they getting political support from abroad?

Serbia is just showing us in really time that peaceful protests are only allowed because they are an inefficient tool to enact change (at best) and a harmful tool at worst.

These protests were massive, lasted for months on end, spanned the whole country, were asking for extremely reasonable and mild changes and still haven’t accomplished anything of note.

I know that the violent side didn’t come from the students but it will be interesting to see if this changes things

Or for me it would make CP2077 and hundreds of other games free to play on the Steam deck (since I already own them)

Fucking crazy stat

Let’s see

I’m sure he will have basically only far right policies but he will call himself and the party “centrist” so I wouldn’t be surprised if some low information Dems fell for it as well

Incredibly cheap I’d say

Iirc valve will even allow devs to generate as many steam keys as they want and sell them outside of steam for no cut whatsoever (and Steam will still provide support for the game on the launcher for those keys). And virtually no devs do it. They prefer to take the 30%. So that tells me that what they charge is more than fair to the devs

I mean this is obvious af

When Netflix had 90% of the shows that you wanted to watch and they weren’t annoying little fucks with account sharing and geo location, everyone was happy to support them

But once paying users feel like they are being taken advantage of, instead of catered to, they leave.

There’s so many cases where pirating is not only cheaper (duh) it’s actually a better product/experience. And when you charge to provide a worse product/experience than what people can get for free, then you can’t be surprised at the outcome

I think you mean -1180s

No shit

First I’m not from the US

Second, yes ofc it’s politics. Nobody is disagreeing on that.

Third even in Europe this is becoming a problem even if the inequality gap doesn’t grow as fast

Lots of left politicians from my country there as well (and it’s quite far from Hungary)

Yes new jobs will be created but more and more wealth is concentrated at the top

It’s not the apocalypse but it’s also not not bad in many ways.

Technological progress should only be a good thing but in a capitalist society like ours it has a lot of downsides too (for the majority of the population ofc)

I’m a member of a political party of the country I was born and can vote in, so I’m not like that

I agree with all of this but take into account that lots of people here don’t even live in the US (like me). And we get fucked by democrats being shit at winning elections too

Supposedly

But things need to become real bad

Nobody is arguing that technology won’t progress. Even Marx defends that as a precondition for socialism/communism.

The question is the following. Tomorrow a ground breaking technology is developed that makes literally everyone twice as productive. (Please let’s ignore the technical aspect of this. I’m simplifying for the sake of the argument, but this is happening at some paces everywhere).

Now you have 3 options:

1. Everyone can just work half the time for the same productivity. I.e. the economy can sustain itself with people just working less (which is a MAJOR quality of life increase).
2. Everyone works the same amount of time but their salaries double.
3. Everyone works the same amount of time. Their salaries increase a small %, perhaps keeping up with inflation, perhaps a tiny bit more than that, sometimes even not keeping up with inflation. The added productivity results in increased wealth aggregation at the top.

Number 1 is what people are talking about in this thread.

Number 2 won’t happen because salaries aren’t actually tied to productivity. Productivity just sets a higher limit on salary that in any case is never reached. The salaries are actually determined by competition between workers.

Number 3. Has been happening since the seventies and will continue to happen.

Try installing nvidia drivers on Linux and then report back in a few days

Windows is shit but it’s more convenient and reliable and works way more easily out of the box for 99% of people. This is not even debatable

And for the record I use all 3 major OSs. They all have their uses and Linux is great for a lot of shit but you 100% have to thinker with it way more than with other OSs.

WiFi performance is iffy, same with Bluetooth. We have a ton of data from the company I work it so it’s not even just 1 machine. It’s a few dozen.
