You're missing one very important detail: the are stupid enough to not understand how this works. And Pooteen nowadays only listens to those who tell him pleasant things and report about successes, among those who do that, there are none of those who understand how economy works even remotely — otherwise he wouldn't have even started the whole endeavor.

Taking protection money and not offering any protection — only in Russia™
Or wait, they do offer protection — from people these companies employ, by preventing all unionization except from state-approved — and those unions do the same: collect membership fees and do nothing… They have indeed recreated the type of capitalism they saw growing up on Soviet-era caricatures.

@rvps2001
If companies can't rely on the state even for anti-air defence why do they need the state again? To collect taxes and sail off with it into the sunset? 😏

Oh, BTW, when did they remove the option to have a separate field for search?
On the left is FF 118, on the right — 124.
Not that I use it — I have searches from address/location bar disabled, when I really want that I have to prepend a prefix for the search engine I wish to use explicitly — so there's no default one, but still…

The fuckers! :marseyraging:

🇦🇹 #Austria faces its biggest espionage scandal in decades as the arrest of a former intelligence officer brings to light evidence of extensive Russian infiltration, lax official oversight and behavior worthy of a spy novel.

Did you read the Marsalek investigation?

Austrian domestic security service is likely thoroughly penetrated by Russia — it would require a serious purge to be made functional again.

I think we should set a limit for horseshit residue in titles of articles intended for human consumption 😏

It's much worse when Washington Post published articles like this one: washingtonpost.com/world/2024/
Drenched in despair. It's probably done with good intent — to send the message the more support is required right now, but seekers of "diplomatic solution" will perceive it differently: it's all in vain, time to surrender 😩

@johannesbeers
At least it doesn't come as a surprise from him, when Stoltenberg voices similar opinions it's much worse: mastodon.social/@rvps2001/1122
It's troubling that after two years of war there those who still believe in some "diplomatic solution".

“AI” as currently hyped is giant billion dollar companies blatantly stealing content, disregarding licenses, deceiving about capabilities, and burning the planet in the process.

It is the largest theft of intellectual property in the history of humankind, and these companies are knowingly and willing ignoring the licenses, terms of service, and laws that us lowly individuals are beholden to.

Hey, what makes you say that? I'm pretty sure a lot of Pleroma users are old enough to have seen Sun — I bet few even still own a functional SPARCstation 🤓
