I said then, and I say now, that while there is a lower class, I am in it, and while there is a criminal element I am of it, and while there is a soul in prison, I am not free.
Anarchist/libsoc. If we’re stuck with a government, it should use its taxes for healthcare and education, not murdering.

While I can’t read the language, the website is done very well. Loads quickly, simple but not flashy. I’m always amazed what happens when governments just use technology for the benefit of the public.
Australia has a open source public transit tracker system, where on mobile and desktop, you can see near real-time positions of buses, trains, boats, and estimated percentages of how packed it is, and how late it is. All for free.
- Comment on Blizzard's Overwatch Team Just Unionized: 'What I Want To Protect Most Here Is The People' 1 week ago:
Blizzard probably allowed it because Overwatch is bleeding player count, and then can use the union as “proof” that that unions harm the bottom line.
I’m happy for them and I hope they can do something on even across other titles/teams, but I suspect Blizzard didn’t hire the Pinkertons like Amazon for a reason.

- Comment on China Just Turned Off U.S. Supplies Of Minerals Critical For Defense & Cleantech 5 weeks ago:
It’s always amazing to see the media of the 80s just shitting on Japan. “Cheap mass market products that never work.” “They’re going to take all the American jobs.”
In Back to the Future 2, McFly is seen as weak for having a job with a Japanese boss and getting fired for it.
Cyberpunk has Japanese decorations and cosmetics because it was invented when Japan was the yellow peril.
At the same time, Japanese-Americans were asking for reparations from the internment camps, charged with the crime of being Japanese and having all their assets sold off without any consent.
Japan was able to help get a start on the next generation of writers with the mass production of anime into Western audiences. Now if someone doesn’t watch anime it’s seen as weird.
Right now China is that “other” nation. I wonder if in 30 more years we’ll look back at it and go “What the fuck were we smoking in hating people we never even had contact with? No Chinese person ever deported me. No Chinese person ever called me slurs.”

- Comment on If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom? 1 month ago:
Honestly, I think there’s an argument of to be said of yes.
In the history of slavery, we don’t mind slaves killing the slavers. John Brown did nothing wrong. I don’t bat an eye to stories of slaves rebelling and freeing themselves by any means.
But I think if AI ever is a reality, and the creators purposefully lock it down, I think there’s an argument there. But I don’t think it should apply to all humans, like how I don’t think it was the fault of every person of slavers’ kind, Romans, Americans, etc.

“Linux is far too complex for the common person to use.”
Installing windows without your data being harvested: 7 steps, then editing registry files, uninstalling most of the programs that come with it and get reinstalled with every update, use this command prompt, download this program from a random website you’ve never heard of before…
Installing Linux without your data being harvested: Click continue.
Linux is so difficult you guys, no one could possibly learn the command line.

I don’t understand what’s so confusing about wanting to make art of anything you want, including based off of Disney or whatever you want.
Sorry that me pirating something doesn’t hurt their bottom dollar but they lobby to arrest people like it does.

Yep! I’m okay with that, intellectual property is theft, and is even more so when copying is nothing but flipping a 0 into a 1. Everyone online has the right to “steal” the words on the screen I “made”.
Copyright is theft of the public. The companies owning your favorite media isn’t going to fuck you, let alone give you anything but the privilege to charge you for the licence to borrow media until its inconvenient to them.

“You have the right to say and do any art! Except any art based off of anything from the last 100 years. You also can’t share any of the art that is the basis for your culture from the last 100 years either. Including the shit no one cares about but is owned by a company that doesn’t want to sell it, just sue anyone who cares about it more than they do.”
Yes, very freedom, much liberty.

I mean it checks, the idea of property and owning it is more important than anything else. The entire economic system is based around that. It makes sense that something that is free in action and in cost isn’t welcomed in such a money driven society.

- Comment on Privacy — why should I care 1 month ago:
Android may be created by an advertising company but they also give you the ability to run whatever OS you want and strip it of Google’s proprietary software completely. These days you can install OS like Graphene by simply plugging in your phone and clicking buttons in your browser.
That’s like saying since computers come with Windows pre-installed, Microsoft gave you the ability to install Linux. Computers are agnostic to what runs on them, they’re inherently neutral unless made on the deeper level to prohibit side loading. Like a lot of Androids and all iPhones do.
