Imo, computing, like all other things, requires a little trust and risk. The problem is most people are Wayyy to trusting in general.

Its less crazy when you remember the system is near 8 years old and the sequel system is coming out

Straight up I leave Wolf Spiders alive for this goal.

People on this website are understandably losing their minds because we've let this type of politics fester so much that the stakes are genuinely high this election cycle. But the stakes are only so high because we keep attempting the same thing over and over again. At this point, I'm not even advocating for a third party. I just want Democrats to do better instead of being less crappy than the other guys.

Honestly, I think we need to stop worrying about console power. It's not contributing to games getting any better.

If anything, the absolutely insane graphical targets of modern games are causing fewer games being made.

We just need a little more inflation and a few more Netflix price hikes before we lose our bread and circuses.

Unfortunately, I think it's exactly the opposite. They don't have to do anything that people want to vote for them anyway.

I never said we dont need reforms. In fact the issue I have is Capitalism as a whole.

All UBI would do is give those who own the means of automation 100% power. What leverage would we have if not our labor?

Thats not at all to say what we have going on right now is not evil.

Heck, I often find Lemmy too conservative but its nothing as bad as reddit.

I actually think universal basic income is a very flawed idea from a leftist perspective.

It is effectively a capitalist compromise that still puts all of the asset holders in immense positions of power. The only difference now is they effectively are governmentally enforced as those positions of power. It will make the wealth disparity exponentially worse.

The answer to our wealth disparity is to put power in the hands of the average person.

It's also worth noting that too many people put out way too much imagery of themselves online. People have got to start expecting that anything you put out in the public domain becomes public domain.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the majority of us are here to avoid another corporate takeover of our preferred platforms. It would seem to me to be a tad irresponsible to allow Facebook into our space with open arms, allowing them to hoover up our data. I would love to keep using Lemmy.world, but will happily change instances if need be, and I feel many share that sentiment.
