Exactly. Instead of complaining people can just grow them themselves. It’s not like commercial growers have a monopoly on growing food.

IBM did. This is one reason why we need separation of business and government.

They are currently trying to oust the some 5 people in Congress that actually spoke up. Thomas Massie has three separate billionaires funding campaigns against him in Kentucky. If they have their way it really will be 100% of congress that does what Israel wants lockstep, up to and including sanctioning genocide.
IDK, the whole situation reminds me of Fallout.

That worked. But using the freedomtobuy.games links kept giving me “something went wrong”. So ^ this link is the way to do it.
- Comment on GOG’s Freedom To Buy Campaign Gives Away Controversial Games For Free To Protest Censorship 3 months ago:
I’m for this because I want those games. But let’s talk strategy. Didn’t GoG just set the market value of those games to zero? Weren’t they already hurt by the censorship? Wouldn’t it be better to just give them a fair market to sell on?

- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 3 months ago:
Yes. But some countries includes the United States, and US states, and others. There is an established relation between the US government and payment processors to shut down activity the government doesn’t like but either can’t or hasn’t make illegal.

Cash. Buy things in person. Use bitcoin. Use AMEX. Save money.
So many options besides using Visa or Mastercard.

Remember when Paypal said they would straight up steal your money if they found social media posts they don’t like. Even if it’s on a platform they have nothing to do with?
This proof that the world needs more crypto.
- Comment on Phonecall campaign to tell MasterCard & Visa to stop censoring adult content 3 months ago:
I’ll tell you why. Government uses soft threats to encourage private business to censor things. I know some of you guys don’t like this side of this parallel story, but do you remember when the FBI was marking posts for twitter to take down as “misinformation” that then was shown to not be misinformation, but rather just inconvenient for the current presidency in charge.
The legal code in the US is so large and companies engage in so much activity that it is impossible to run a 100% legal business. Companies instead run by an “ask forgiveness later” model. It’s the only one that can actually work in the US. But to be able to run that model you need the good graces of the government. So when it says jump companies do it.
There was a time when you could be banned off of twitter for saying factual things the FBI didn’t like. And it’s not like the FBI didn’t know better. We didn’t need independent verification of the Hunter Biden emails because we had confirmed cryptographic signatures on all of the emails. Journalists get a pass because they are technologically illiterate, but the FBI and Twitter sure didn’t.
What’s crazy about this is that the supreme court ruled against this use of third parties. But the practice wasn’t new when it hit social media because it’s been a long practice with payment processors. So my question when that ruling came out was “what about the existing similar practice in payment processors.” Apparently the government and processors are still in cahoots in violation of that ruling. That relationship was actually started in an effort to crack down on bestiality porn, which is never the less legal in the US.
So the question is do you like to government directing third parties to censor?

- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 3 months ago:
They are so short sighted to. Ad blocker help advertizers. It allows sites to fill up sites with ads to the point of being unusable while not losing 100% of traffic. That keeps these site relevant enough that old people who don’t have ad blockers end up there too when they follow links or google ranks a site high because it has traffic.
If they got rid of all ad block somehow they would have to decrease the ads because I wouldn’t use the web. Or online communities would be way more conscious of the ad level of the things they link to.
