Sorry but doing anything about it would be "barbaric" according to people like you.

I made a conscious decision to make my kids brown.

That's weird. Don't be racist.

Extremely performative and ultimately pointless. Why celebrate one group of colonizers, yet condemn another? Simply because the latest colonizer has written records of their "crimes" ?

Broadcom bought VMWare and tried the enshitification strategy that works so well with normal consumers; put the product on life support, increase licensing costs by hundreds of percent, Profit. But unlike Disney IPs and shit-eating consumers, the only thing keeping larger orgs on VMWare was no catalyst to switch. It was just the cost of doing business. But when you jack up prices so much and assume companies are just going to suck it up, all you end up doing is killing your golden goose. My company is changing to Openstack (a good decision even in a vacuum), all they needed was a little motivation to actually do it. I'm sure any company with a few competent engineers and a few managers that can look beyond the next quarter will do the same.

In summary: If you have any $AVGO sell it, or at least write calls.

I can't believe the NYC Mayor Elect hasn't single-handedly dueled all 40,000 NYPD officers in honorable mortal combat. Some leftist he is.

The idea of "student loan forgiveness for entrepreneurs" is something I noticed 10 years ago during Hillary Clinton's uninspired campaign for president, even before Trump entered the arena as a serious candidate.

Looking at a few search-engine hits filtered for only 2015, and I see the following article. There are a few other derivative articles with same idea.

https://www.nbcnews.com/better/careers/helping-millennial-entrepreneurs-conquer-student-loan-debt-n408636

But basically the idea of this group of young "entrepreneurs" who were saddled by student loans deserved special government attention. Especially from the Clinton campaign.

Kind of weird, but they had a campaign full of weird shit, like Russian Drone submarines, or a no-fly zone over Syria, or the declaration that universal health-care "will never ever happen."

But then 4 years later after Clinton was humiliated, we have her heir-apparent Kamala Harris talking about the same oddly specific policy: "According to her plan, Harris intends to give student loan debt forgiveness to Pell grant recipients who successfully open businesses in underserved communities and operate those businesses for three years."

https://psmag.com/news/kamala-harris-student-debt-forgiveness-plan-part-of-proposal-to-support-black-entrepreneurs/

And now it's 4 years later, and we have a very old representative of New York City, Nydia Velázquez introducing the same policy!

https://democrats-smallbusiness.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4769

Who the fuck is pushing this policy? Who is it for? Why are Democratic Politicians so fixated on this fucking worthless extremely narrowly targeted policy? It's been 10 years, and this policy keeps coming back almost as a slogan. Why?!

White capitalism

This is just called capitalism.

Sounds like the problem here is the "government scrutiny" not steam.

What a garbage article. Elon sucks, the cyber truck sucks, but an article about tweets is less than worthless. Perhaps the article instead of assuming elon just "didn't have time to run tesla properly", should dig a bit deeper and demonstrate that tesla was successful despite elon, not because of elon. Same with Space-X or Star-link.

Now as far as why the cyber truck is getting stuck in snow, tires is the low-effort answer, but maybe look at the weight of the truck versus the contact area. Maybe look at how the traction control system works? How about whether the car is front wheel bias vs rear-wheel biased. Does it make assumptions about which wheels have contact to the ground? Does it have a differential or are all 4 wheels independently controlled? (I don't know the answer to any of these by the way, but if I were concerned about a vehicle getting stuck in the snow, I'd certainly want an analysis that addresses all of the above.)

A pretty standard pro-environmental piece, however I do appreciate how it calls out the "German Green Party," which is obviously just an astro-turfed political party funded by the coal industry.

And of course the criticism of about the farce of Carbon Capture is spot-on.

A growing number of Senate Democrats appear open to making it harder for migrants to seek asylum in order to secure Republican support for aiding Ukraine and Israel.

This is what the democrats stand for. Unlimited funding for the MIC and border-control, but social issues are not a priority.

Stop voting for the parties of Capital.

This is a bad chart with lots of data issues. It apparently consists of two points, 1995 and 2017. The source is some data aggregator that isn't clear, and of course the differentiation between the categories is non-existent. what is the difference between "church," "friends," or "neighbors?" What is the difference between "school" and "college."

That said obviously there are more "online" couples between 1995 where the only options were AOL or IRC chatrooms and 2017 where actual dating apps existed that were easily accessible via your phone.

My Take: I agree the internet has changed society in the past 22 years. Thanks shitty chart from reddit. I now have a greater awareness of the significance of the internet.
