The answer is, and always has been, unions and strikes.

Do your part.

“And that’s when enshitification kicked in”

Partition the internet… Like during the Morris worm of '88, where they had to pull off regional networks to prevent the machines from being reinfected?

The good old days were, maybe, not that good. :)

Yep. When you have two aircraft carriers in their airspace, you make the laws.

Bro you’re being bitten by chupacabras or something, what the hell

I 100% agree with your point of view then, it seems very logical.

Let’s say I’m immune to mosquito bites. I wouldn’t even notice one or two buzzing about. But I’m very reactive to bites, and get itchiness that lasts for what feels like hours, so as soon as something buzzes nearby, I’m panicking.

Those CD loading screens made me long for my cartridges, to be fair…

I wonder why this isn’t a class action. Maybe they thought they could win more this way?

I wonder what’s gonna happen if other courts find different verdicts, or different compensation values…

Can you ask for the Police chief data?

This is astonishing.

He’s hoarding the profits of automation for himself, while socializing the lost wages and poverty that will come from this.

But the issue is that we know full well that they’ll escape paying out their massive profits as taxes, which is what MUST happen for the model to work. Shareholder payouts need to be taxed at like 50+% rate or even more.

Boots be made for walking. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a place that’s not struggling with fascism nowadays, or free from patriarchal tendencies, but I assume you’re in the US, in which case many countries are indeed better.

KOTOR is such an amazing game… I’ve replayed it recently hoping it would ruin my childhood recollection of it being god tier. It didn’t, it’s still an amazing game after all these years

Such a monstrous clusterfuck, and you’ll be hard pressed to find anyone having been sacked, let alone facing actual charges over the whole debacle.

If anything, I’d say that’s the single best case for buying IBM - if you’re incompetent and/or corrupt, just go with them and even if shit hits the fan, you’ll be OK.

All I’ve got is wood, and I still need to beat it to a pulp, which is why I was considering beaver butts.

That is the American approach to legislation: get in as many laws that favour you or your sponsors, and pray the courts let at least some of them through.

That’s not how this is meant to work. The courts shutting down a law is a last measure, when everything else has failed and hell’s about to break loose.

If that’s why you think they’re wankers, I have news for you.

But whose turn is it?

This strategy is absolutely unviable in the West.

Instead, the dumbest idiots with a useful narrative are given massive megaphones and drown out everyone else.

Say what you want, but looks like a pick your poison kind of situation to me…

The report only covers Europe, but its conclusions do not mirror yours:

Intersex people are the only LGBTIQ group that has not experienced a drop in discrimination since an earlier survey in 2019.

To be honest, I’m confused about this too.

How are 40% of respondents being harassed at work for being intersex? How do people even find out?

Only about 30% of the people surveyed identify as cis, and around 15% describe their orientation as heterosexual, so I’m sure that they definitely face many of the same struggles that the LGBTQIA+ community faces as a whole.

But why would discrimination at large be decreasing, except for intersex people? Maybe they’re feeling more empowered to come out, and people don’t know how to react?
I would even expect, if anything, that bigots would be more understanding of someone for whom Nature made life “visibly” harder, but maybe I’m just naive.

In any case, it doesn’t seem like the study sheds enough light on this, hopefully more studies will follow so that we can find a way to do better.
