We have an 8 hour workday, and women's suffrage, thanks to "terrorism", as you call it.

Of course they did. The president wants them to, he complains about mail-in voting (despite doing it himself yearly...), and thinks it helps his opponents. He also picked the postmaster general. None of this is news, and none of it is a con

Privacy absolutely should be a human right. But currently it isn't, and part of why is there is lots of money to be made with surveillance on ordinary people. And things will not change unless the people who exploit the privacy of othe

I don't. But I do think the CEO of a company who sells spying as a service to cops should have a taste of his own medicine.

Absolutely nothing about how the Supreme Court works nowadays has respect for standard process or decorum. It's merely a shield to hide behind when it's convenient, to be ignored when it's useful.

He doesn't have a view on trade deficits. To imply he does is giving him far too much credit. The "most powerful person on earth" in charge of the United States fundamentally doesn't understand trade deficits or tari

This site is intended to be a discussion between people . If we wanted to consult some other resource, we would go do that. Injecting unverified information is not a contribution to a discussion between people , especially if it isn'

Sort of. They were not campaign slogans though. They were battle cries, by militant labor, insisting on what they deserved.

This smells of a system working as designed. Cops exist to protect property, capital, and the status quo. The people whom they actually exist to serve have no issue using tax dollars for this purpose.

You don't have to go as far back as the French Revolution. Labor unions in the late 19th and early 20th century fought pitched battles against the exploitative billionaire equivalents of their day, and it was much easier for the rich t

The 4th Amendment exists to make the cops' job harder. Full stop. I do not care how much easier it is for them to do their jobs because of invasive surveillance, both because it's a violation of rights, and because they cannot be

Kenneth Branagh + Shackleton is an instant watch for me, what a great combination.

It is a fundamental feature of capitalism. There is an inherent tension between employers and workers, in that workers represent a cost center that can never be totally eliminated, and has a lot of undesirable features, such as: being alive

In today's age of exclusive capitalism? There is no worker ownership of the means of production. If you can't use a mine to get some coal, or use some tools to make widget, or use a GPU to do inference I guess, then you don't

Shares are not the means of production. They are a mutually agreed upon fiction and sit firmly within the realm of capitalism.

For the billionth time already, socialism is not "when the government does it." Using the government to increase your capital and become even richer is standard capitalism. Altman is not now and will not ever relinquish any means

I wonder at what level you could enforce/how far you could take the idea of "don't allow invalid states to be represented" to a programming language, to prevent this kind of language debauchery. C does seem to sit at the

I take my choice of VPN very seriously, and have used Mullvad for a long time. But now I cannot help but wonder whether the principles the two of you founded Mullvad on, to quote you from above: "because of our political convictions ab

I think they left it to the lower court to decide if the search was legitimate in particular. They ruled in general that geo-fence warrants are not OK. Not a lawyer though!

Nazis don't get good faith or the benefit of the doubt. I'm not censoring anyone, I am pointing out that you and other commenters here decided, apropos of nothing, to advocate for including racist and genocidal propaganda. >Ar

You're advocating for including white supremacist and Nazi books. And you're not the only one in this thread doing it. There is one reason someone would do that. You're a white supremacist and a Nazi. There's no in-betwe

This is fantastic. Works perfectly right off the bat. I have so much trouble just getting capslock to be control consistently in Linux, and this made it easy.

Well if your product wasn't already basically spyware, it wouldn't be so much work to abide by privacy regulation frameworks, now would it? I have no sympathy for how hard it is for surveillance companies to adapt their exploitati
