Yep. First austerity, then a populist con man will show up promising to fix everything that was broken by 40 years of neoliberal pain, but will happily do even more.

“We” didn't learn. As evidenced by this all happening the instant the last people who experienced WWII directly started to fade from the discussion. They couldn't even wait for all if them to be dead before restarting.
50k application fee from the employer, and that goes straight to college and universities to eliminate the need over time.
Uuhh, beyond the fucked up publishing system, your advisor was a self destructive dick. It was his job to pay that. His lab and career benefit and hes the one that gets funding for research operations.
And a few years later rich folk start mass downloading the same databases to train LLM models using the exact same methods to sell access to those. No FBI.
If you are doing stuff in Linux that requires the terminal, you were probably making edits to the registry in Windows or pasting in wild powershell lines from online guides.
No need for 98% of the user base to ever touch the terminal. Open whatever software store comes with your distro, click install next to whatever you want.
The only exception to that is that sometimes, when a trusted person is supporting you through something, giving them a line to paste into a terminal might be quicker than walking them through all the clicks of a gui. Sometimes.
Pretty much what I said. Capitalism in practice.
Capitalism puts the power over production in the hands of capital (by definition). So over time, wealth and political clout grow, and they start using that to bend government to their will. It's not a bastardization, it's 100% of the historical examples. A free market would require highly distributed power, not concentrated.
Reddit doesn’t let me in with ny VPN on, though, so I just stopped using it.
This is exactly what this law and others like it will cause across the Internet. More and more sites will just block VPN users.
Wrong end for most of us. It's not that we live in a backward-state where VPNs are illegal, it's that companies that want to do business in the state will have to block ALL users coming in through a VPN, regardless of where you live. They know which users are using a VPN because the IP blocks are well known, and they will just have to block those users. That's why this one state is trying to f- over everyone.
The way I understand it, any company wanting to do business in the state would have to block access to their services from (anonymous?) VPN providers. That means IP blocks for PIA, mollivard, etc will be blacklisted by companies. There are already blocklists of IPs for VPN providers that many corporate web filters use (yes, they are terrible and inaccurate).
Yes, you would probably be able to fire up a VPS from a no-name provider and get through. However,
- a) that option isn't really available to 99% of the tech-illiterate public,
- b) a lot of sites already have issues with non-residential IP blocks, especially AWS, and
- c) that usually means there is a 1:1 mapping between your IP address and your identity (often a credit card). Which is what they want.
Someone always chimes into these discussions with the experience of being DDOSed and Cloudflare being the only option to prevent it.
Sounds a lot like a protection racket to me.
1-2% of the new housing investment can be a heck of a lot more than 1-2% of the bedrooms if you arent building the median oversized single detached.
