The threat of destitution is strong, and that’s why corpos get away with this shit.

The player count is pretty high (95k as of this writing)

Now is a good time to bring back a moba because the market isn’t as saturated when MNC was released.

And for what it is worth, MNC was a great game.

It’s a great launching pad to learn how a language works, but beyond simple things, it get bad very fast.

I also use AI to look for terms in specific domains, which is really helpful as well.

The tenants literally pay the taxes, insurance and maintenance in their rent payment. When any of these inflates, so does the rent unless there are protections in place.

So being a landlord means someone else pays the mortgage for your unit.

The only thing that could be seen as a service are short term rental, and even then, it was abused to death by the AirBnB/VRBO and any other short term rental service.

Rent seeking is the most capitalistic thing someone can do : you use your money to get someone else to pay your rent. You do the minimal maintenance that you can get away with, and when you actually do real maintenance, your tenants get a rent hike.

If there weren’t any landlord, there would still be housing. But a lot more people would own the place they live in, at a reasonable price, instead of housing being used as an investment vehicule.

I see the nuance you are making now and I agree.

SaaS does feel like technofeudalism where you pay but don’t own shit, a bit like fiefs working in the field and giving wheat in exchange for a land that they don’t own.

I mean, rent seeking is the best case scenario for a capitalist. You just insert yourself in the supply chain without much investment and get money for simply being in the chain.

My point is that postal service shouldn’t be run as a private company that absolutely needs to turn a profit, just like healthcare for example.

Conservatives love to treat Canada Post as a private company because they can then tell everyone how unprofitable it is and must be dismantled and sold off to private interests. And then, it will cost even more for less services

Or, hear me out, some services don’t have to be profitable, like sending put parcels and letters within a country, healthcare or public transportation. Essential services you know.

Instead of giving money to mega corpos for them to pocket it, we could pay for services that benefit the citizens, just like China is doing for postal services.

What’s even worse is that the train wasn’t in bumfuck nowhere, so there is no excuse for not providing a transportation out of the train to the destination.

Or at the very least, have someone bring food and water.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

I 3d printed a dart blaster and I am currently putting it together. It took a good number of hours to print. I am currently wiring the thing. It doesn’t have a build guide per say, and I wanted it to be repairable without having to desolder/resolder, so it took me a while to find the right connectors that do fit the build.

I don’t play any nerf games and my kids are too young to play with it, but it felt like I was a kid again. I chose Wario’s color for it.

Otherwise, my D4 HC barbarian died again today and i’m done for the season.

I mean, where are these civilizations today? Damning evidence if you ask me.

I tried to keep it on the low volume side, but it means I need to hold back a bit of my sneeze.

When I do hold back a little bit, it feels like my chest is hit by a train and it hurts like hell.

So I just live with the sound it makes, try to make it funnier for my kids, and put my mouth/nose into my elbow.

Makes sense. Posix was created a long time ago and there are most probably some features that could be changed

I knew the asteroid one, but it still baffles my mind to this day.

Do you eat the same thing for breakfast every day? I do. But for whatever reason, lunch and dinner is different. Can’t eat the same thing twice.

Dumb brain

It feels like were halfway there

What part of posix is redox trying to get away from?

I’d watch that if it was a mix between MMA and wrestling.

I want the corridor drama, the power moves and the fisticuffs.

Depends what you want in an OS. The increasingly invasive ads and loss of control in Windows is overwhelmingly a good enough reason for me. But it is not the case for everyone.

Linux has its quirks, and it’s a different approach to an OS in general, so it can be intimidating if you only want an office machine.
