Why Not Zoidberg? 🦑@nixCraft Weird; everything is anti-capitalist and anti-enshittification, and then suddenly there's a bullshit thing about "taxes and socialism bad" (or something?) at the end? Not making sense.
Shrig 🐌@WhyNotZoidberg @nixCraft and conflating having a wife with having an object to use freely
@Shrigglepuss @nixCraft Ah yes. Incel logic 101.
Tommi Komulainen@nixCraft seems to me 3 of 4 can be easily resolved by with that shotgun everyone should already have near the printer

Recaptchas just to look at a web site and it turns out to be AI LLM slop.

"One of these days," Joe said wrathfully, "people like me will rise up and overthrow you, and the end of tyranny by the homeostatic machine will have arrived. The day of human values and compassion and simple warmth will return, and when happens someone like myself who has gone through an ordeal and who genuinely needs hot coffee to pick him up and keep him functioning when he has to function will get the hot coffee whether he happens to have a poscred readily available or not." He lifted the miniature pitcher of cream, then set it down. "And furthermore, your cream or milk or whatever it is, is sour."
The speaker remained silent.
"Aren't you going to do anything?" Joe said. "You had plenty to say when you wanted a poscred."

glutto@nixCraft I keep joking that someday they'll find a way to charge us for air.
It's... not 100% a joke...
Janne@nazokiyoubinbou @nixCraft this is one of the problems with the Musk mars colony project. Authoritarian dictator can finally deny people the free air.

John E Bartley III (D) K7AAY📎@nixCraft Heinlein wrote about Air Tax in the Sixties: "“Was Earthside once and heard expression ‘Free as air.’ This air isn’t free, you pay for every breath.”
“Really? No one has asked me to pay to breathe.” He smiled. “Perhaps I should stop.”
“Can happen, you almost breathed vacuum tonight. But nobody asks
you because you’ve paid. For you, is part of round-trip ticket; for me it’s
a quarterly charge.” "

skaphle@nixCraft Have you read (this excerpt of) Unauthorized Bread? https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/01/unauthorized-bread-a-near-future-tale-of-refugees-and-sinister-iot-appliances/
This story by Cory Doctorow explores this issue, workarounds, oppression and solidarity a lot.
Juho MäntysaloStuff like this makes me think that bolsheviks knew what was what.
This even though I'm not into violent coups, vanguardianism, destruction of tacit knowledge, OR the absolute kafkasque bureaucracy their polity evolved into.
EDIT: Also makes me think of visiting the Latvian Museum of Occupation, where there was some generic statue (mayhaps a happy kid), with a plate saying that the occupiers liked to seed public places with mass-produced art. Didn't fit the narrative (for me).
Jean-noël Lafargue@nixCraft This is excessive and absurd, most of this won't occur before 2032.
