Fuck Visa but I’m 99% sure it’s a law (or a reinterpretation/expansion of an existing law) making them do this, it just doesn’t make sense otherwise.

This is what drove me to Debian. I like stability, I don’t need cutting edge, simple as.

“you’ll own nothing and be happy” is also a fair descriptor of software piracy come to think of it

the transparent/translucent electronics trend of the 90s and early 2000s

I’ve been feeling nostalgic for this look lately. I really like how it emphasizes the artificial nature of the device in question and invites you to think about how it works and how it was put together - while minimalist electronics do exactly the opposite, almost as if you’re embarrassed about owning it and want to pretend that it’s not there.

Should be noted that Europe had commons for hundreds and hundreds of years before they all got enclosured and they managed them just fine with local-level spontaneous democracy.

Also the “tragedy of the commons” as we know it today was invented by a malthusian in the 1960s and everybody who invokes it as an argument against socialism ignores the part of the essay where the author advocates for central planning

If there’s any discounts they probably take the form of a link on a website that gets you 10% off (clicking the link installs a cookie that increases your prices on that website by 10%)

Been doing rideshare late at night the last week, holy damn I didn’t realize how bad the public bathroom situation was in my town, and I’ve got a car to hunt for one.

We should genuinely have a public bathroom minimum. You want to run a store in town? You gotta make your bathroom open to the public. Don’t care if the people using it are customers or not.
