yeah thats the point , the cybertruck design is retrofuturism

I misread this as if it lacked the y and was slightly confused for a second

to be fair , neither the free software movement nor the open source movement (which are distinct ideologically) are explicitly socialist . in a way , especially the free software movement , they embody an extention of liberalism .

both of these movements focus on the individuals freedom and take issue not with developers/companies being systemically incentivized to develop closed source / nonfree software , but with individual developers/companies doing so . thus the solution taken is limited to the individual not to systemic change .

to be fair I can’t imagine Gabe being that fond of piracy … checks ah never mind mind

One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue. The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.

BTW the quote is under this amazing image , which I very much hope was not placed there recently :

I believe it was a app , yes

honestly what I hate the most about those quotes is that every one of those slogans actually have a quite clear meaning , especially within the context of the book .

the author is not Irish not sure if I can trust it.

I will just remind yall that an state in the EU has admitted to having access to the Pegasus spyware.

Pegasus is a program that is used by services combating crime and corruption in many countries…It would be bad if the Polish services did not have this type of tool

- Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the leader of the ruling Law and Justice party as quoted by the Verge (first article I found)

He is also quoted as saying that claims that Pegasus had been used against political opponents are “utter nonsense”.

The Polish controversy was started when the spyware was found on a opposition members phone.

The Law and Justice party, according to polls (and some Poles), is set to win the largest number of seats in tomorrows election, though they might struggle to form a government.

We are doomed aren’t we.

One could think you’re proposing this [leaving the EU] as an alternate solution. It’s not. And Brexit is the biggest proof.

This is not a random thing thrown around, though it should be noted that those more involved in this side of “EU bad” usually advocate for remaking the EU, due to the deep systemic issues rather than leaving it. I believe a more mainstream version of this idea is given a stage by Macron (AFAIK he mostly wants to remove the requirement for every country to agree to some things), but moreso from this angle some Pirate Parties (PPP for example) advocate for it.

Quote from PPP’s programee (translated by yours truly, though I focused on translating it as directly as possible so it might sound a bit weird):

More democracy for Europe

We, Pirates, call for a writing of a new EU treaty, which will replace all existing treaties, remove uncertainties and respond to the need of a democratic reform in the EU. This treaty must be accepted by the citizens of the EU via a referendum.

While this is quite different to “we should leave the EU” it reflects the concerns of those who say that due to policies like this. As far as I know, Brexit was caused more by Brits not liking economic policies of the European Union, though I am not that knowledgeable about UK politics.

TL;DR: you can say EU bad while still wanting an EU I guess.

my client wouldn’t render it regardless so I couldn’t test it :/
