@stux Zuck must have thought leaning in would help somehow? but it's like Nestle renaming themselves to "Child Slavery Co." it's not going to make me like it

can EV motors eventually be repurposed for small wind turbines and their batteries just used for energy storage? #solarpunk

Has anyone taken a job from a LinkedIn recruiter and actually enjoyed it? I feel very skeptical of nearly all of them.

In the replies, what is your favorite written perspective and why is it third person past tense? @bookstodon

@elliswyatt @rozeboosje sure but practically there is no free market when multinationals own all of the buildings they rent out to other corps. How do you compete globally when you can't even serve your own community? We keep getting tech companies like Uber, AirBnB, WeWork, etc that try and get around it with scale and they just continually get worse and collapse once the investors' money runs out.

@elliswyatt @rozeboosje Well, multinationals exist and if you sell in the same market you are inherently in competition with them, that's why.The government should do its job and prevent large companies like Facebook from buying their competition (Instagram, whatsapp, oculus)––but any time the government tries to do this, it's called socialism. Use the boogeyman of socialism enough and people will adopt it as a moniker for any form of regulation (which is where we're at now!)

@elliswyatt @rozeboosje also that's literally OPs point––you agree. They have amassed obscene wealth so that then the Gov "favours" them over you.

@elliswyatt @rozeboosje this is dwindling toward unproductive so I may just leave but I'm curious what you think fascism is?

@elliswyatt @rozeboosje unfortunately you're just factually wrong. When Facebook bought its competition, that was the unregulated* free market—that's what this post is about. Unregulated anticompetitive behavior that clobbers everyone into a market failure. It seems completely delusional to me to think that without the government companies would somehow act outside of their own interests. It would be nice if they would for the health of the climate and plenty other things though.

After no caffeine for two weeks I've had like no sleep and 3 cups of coffee. My boss seemed stressed at the end of the day and my brain's now convinced that it was my fault somehow and I'm going to get fired. I hate it here. send memes. I'm so irrationally anxious right now.

Apple's announcing a bunch of new tech today, but I can't stop wishing they'd finally announce an #Apple E-Bike--not because I could ever afford one, but because it would get a bunch of rich people cycling so cities might actually start building bike lanes. #cycling #urbanism https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-11/what-if-apple-made-an-e-bike?leadSource=uverify%20wall

@RadicalAnthro @stux they're being let in from the porch in this video, it doesn't look like they're in captivity. I agree though that keeping animals like this would probably not be a good thing to do.
