the vast, vast majority

Not to disagree with your main point - everyone deserves to be paid - but porn scales so well that we might already have enough free amateur production for everyone. It just doesn't get to the top of SEO-optimized searches.

No such thing. Live out loud, grow a big beard if you want.

How come they don't count? They're figuring out how the machines should work, for money. That's engineering, right? (I'm an American mechanical engineer)

In which market is Steam a monopoly?

If the developers want to just directly sell me their games old school I'd be cool with that.

Half the white people: Yee haw, I'm gonna shoot some minorities! I'm in a militia!

Other half of white people: Don't worry, the police will protect you. No ~~militias~~ gangs allowed!

If it really ramps up, we could share block lists too, like with ad blockers. So if a friend (or nth-degree friend) blocks someone, then you would block them automatically.

Calling them weird isn't going to work at all, that's an absolutely terrible idea. Everyone wants weird. We need weird right now, just not their weird. We should be upping our weird game and present options that will work, that centrist libs will say are weirdly communist or anarchist sounding.

Things are about to change big time and it's too late to stop that. The best we can do is shape it into something good. But nobody is buying tickets on the normal train. If you're here on Lemmy, then you sure aren't.

I can believe it.

In economics, the Jevons paradox occurs when technological progress increases the efficiency with which a resource is used (reducing the amount necessary for any one use), but the falling cost of use induces increases in demand enough that resource use is increased, rather than reduced.

Normalize political energy. Howard Dean should have won.
