- GudNo thanks and another reason why Apple needs to be forced to allow third party package managers(“app stores”).
- Perhaps your sex life is somewhat vanilla.
Imagine you are turned on by eating shit or being peed on - would you still feel so comfortable sharing g details about your sex life?
And of course, the wide spectrum in between
- What do you think is the purpose of news.YCOMBINATOR.com, if it’s not to promote(and make $$$$$) ycombinator?
I am not asking how you use it. I am asking what you believe is the reason the site operator is running it.
- I travel 300 days/year
- I’m a frequent flyer with Lufthansa(literally have the card) and I think it’s a pretty decent airline.
I’ve flown more than 50 flights this year with them.
- I could not agree more.
Another fundamental problem is that the means of production are concentrated into the hands of a few.
- Then again, why bother?
- "universal healthcare" is funded by insurance.
No, they purchase their equipment funded by taxes.
- In Switzerland volunteer firefighting is common.
- Not really. It’s a beautiful place.
- By our generations “best and brightest”, supposedly.
At least, most well compensated.
Shame on you, if you work for these organisations.
- Why not?
- Why should the Germans be more worried about AfD than the people who have been running the show for the last decades?
After all, they’re not the ones who have implemented disastrous policy one after another.
- The television set was never in every kids pocket, though. And obviously "lol don't buy your kid a smartphone then lol". sure, easy to say, but the world is getting more and more connected.
- This is completely wrong. Even “the poor” in most parts of the world has a pretty good life weight where they are.

- Very common.
I work for a factory that produces a type of heavy machinery that is in extreme demand. Any person with any semblance of foresight, would understand that in the near to medium term, this will be the case.
During COVID, there was a large dip(~30%) of orders. In the infinite wisdom of our business leaders, it was decided to shut us down. Coincidentally, our equipment was (supposed to be) transferred to our step-sibling factory, where most of the upper management is from… I say step sibling, although we make similar products, we come together due to a merger.
6 months after our supposed shutdown, after a lot of equipment has been transferred and a lot of good people have gone, suddenly demand was back to normal, and our customer are no longer asking how much our product costs, but if they can have one… and it turns out, our step-sibling can’t make our product very well.
It’s all politics, short-sightedness and personal greed, in upper management, UNLESS MAYBE, they founded the company(and still a big IF).
- Europe is not a homogenous thing. There are wast cultural differences (although the Americanisation has been in full swing for a long time).
- Yes. Like I said, this works well in Switzerland, where stupid decisions are at least made jointly, not by some career politicians. Makes it easier to slowly make changes. The key point is to keep things local - what works in Zürich doesn’t necessarily work in Appenzeller.
- Your obvious solution is wrong, though. The right wing is just as eager to implement a police state.
The correct answer is decentralisation of power, and put the government back in the hands of the people. That means frequent voting(multiple times a year), by an educated population.
Works well in Switzerland.
- When did the UK use to be free?
Seems to me this is a cultural issue that runs deep. You are his majesty’s loyal subject, like it or not, and more importantly, you are a subject of his bureaucracy. The US works in a similar fashion, except the deep state has slightly different excuses to exist.
I work extensively in the UK(past 5 years, I’ve worked there maybe two years in total). Nothing gets done without endless approval from people with cushy office jobs in the bureaucracy.
It’s in the bureaucracy’s interest to extend its power, and who is going to stop them?
CSAM is an excellent excuse to control the digital world. I wonder what took them this long.
