Emboldened oligarch in a plutocracy.
But also kleptocracy and really a kakistocracy disguised outwardly as an aristocracy or neo-monarchy as Raskin said.
Outside of just saying “America” or “Capitalism” How do we combine all of this into one satisfying, effective term?
I’m sure they made $600 million through this breech somehow?
And none of the forced tech support “AI” replacements work. And the companies don’t give a shit.
Where is the damage on his ear?
They have actually started serving ads with a skip button… That only skips to the next ad.
This is specifically about TV apps.
That thing you do and Empire records
Steam didn’t start with physical hardware and then try to remove it. And stream doesn’t design, own and operate the hardware for the most part.
This is a huge reach and false equivalency. There is a difference between being a pop culture focus of a moment where you’re mom was compelled to volunteer at his local election office and wear a button versus the maga bullshit that OP describes.
No. It’s never been to this level, or close for that matter. Not because a candidate didn’t want it, but because society maintained a basic level of decency and civil education that made today’s depths impossible at scale really. Of course a huge focus of the last 50 years for Republicans has been denying access to and attacking public education to help form the undereducated and easily frightened mass that they now use to support trump. And then social media feeds and predatory news algorithms were probably the nail in the coffin to break that once held floor of civility.
Not on the same scale as trump, but there was an American Nazi party and there’s the kkk. Those are probably your closest analogies in this country.
The supermarket commercials on Mr show or anything on Mr show
“trash says I smell nice!”
Was always inching closer, but looks like android has fully outstayed its welcome. The revolving door of executives hit its last person with any integrity on the ass on their way out the door.
Physical media or full rejection. Fuck you business school zombies squeezing blood from rocks
🎶 “I’m a connnnnn mann, or maybe I’m a god? Zoomin‘ round the planet, in my hyper loopin‘ pod…” 🎶
Its subtle, but the tone of that article’s coverage actually sucks… Is futurism a piece of shit?
What a waste of my tax dollars by the DOJ to try to recover spotify´s money for a broken system that they left open and are honestly probably exploiting themselves in parallel to inflate engagement numbers and take streams away from legit artists that they have to play. Remember, they want you in their app, they don’t give a shit about actual music. If you’ll just listen to random boops, they save cost in the middle. Not where I want the justice systems effort to go.
What’s the last “bombshell scandal that would ruin a company” that actually ruined a company?
You wouldn’t download a collection of all the art and knowledge ever documented in the entire history of the known universe…
Two chicks at the same time, man…
So funny that all the musk brigaders on here, in full force, can only collectively muster 4 downvotes…
You are the wet farts of humanity.
And if we entertained the idea that this was true and the core focus of this idea (it’s not) what do we think the chances are that the “appropriate person” will be one of two things:
Another cop
A subscription service digital surveillance company with that cop as a client that they report back to for “internal investigation”, as long as the bill is paid.
