The only thing that surprises me is that anyone is surprised by this. If you buy a physical book from anywhere, you own it. If you “buy” the rigth to play a movie (or read a book) from amazon, you own nothing. Usually they don’t show that so clearly but that’s the reality.
I’m sad to admit it but those are not mutaly exclusive.
You can have a bad government with any kind of economic system. As evidenced by the USA. They tend to commit most of their atrocities outside their own country but that doesn’t make them any better than china or russia.
No amount of ethics teaching will change the behaviour of a narcisistic psychopath like musk.
I think part of this problem is that the USA has split more or less into two different cultures that have developed different languages to the point that they don’t even understand each other and what seems a rational argument in one language is perceived as hate speech in the other.
Europe is going into the same direction but it’s not as extreme yet.
I don’t exactly understand what is remarkable here. But maybe that is because I’m not from the USA.
Also the half life of windows knowledge is a lot lower than linux knowledge. Under windows: when you have this problem, click here, click there, find this button, select this option and then it might help, until the next version changes everything. Under linux you find this config file, change this line to that and the fix will likely survive multiple system upgrades and could even work on different distributions.
I recently found out that it’s not common to always buy the same brand of generic food types like apple juice, fish fingers, cereal,…
I have never owned or operated a car and this doesn’t really make me want to.
It’s pretty rude to come into a new community and the first thing you do is complain. Not everyone is as obsessed with avoiding communist thoughts as much as US-Americans. Deal with it. As for NSFW: just switch it off.
Funny how culture shapes perception. As a German that sentence didn’t even strike me as overly long.
