We need to push back against the ultra-wealthy or else we will be left with a mere pittance.
You mean we will be left in mass graves? They are absolutely not planning to give us any basic income.

Given the requirements to be featured on such a coin, I certainly hope so.
FTFY, see subject. EOM.
As it turns out, there's a reason why the publishing industry was more than happy to shitcan that company in favor of Adobe InDesign.
It's weird that the reason wasn't that Quark was shit. Quark's interface has always been pathetically inscrutable while Pagemaker's (and subsequently, InDesign's) were immediately approachable and logical. You didn't have to do hard work of memorizing counterintuitive locations to find functionality, because everything was (and is) laid out logically.
I go back to fairly olden times with Pagemaker (back to Aldus in fact) and continued to take a peek at Quark every once in a while, only to find out that it was always terribly fucking irritating. I have never understood how anyone preferred Quark. It had one feature which Pagemaker didn't, arbitary text rotation which you had to do with Illustrator. This seems like a big deal, but it wasn't, because practically all of those people had Illustrator anyway. Obviously Adobe implemented this eventually.
I'd set up a seedbox or a Tor relay on it just out of principle and just keep using your cable.
Nice, an AC comment worth reading for once. This is exactly the right answer. Fucking nail that connection, just keep it using the maximum transfer 24/7, however you do it. If they force you to have their service, then use it... use it hard.
DRM is killing our digital legacy. There will be no abandonware sites for today's games, as the publishers make sure you won't be able to run them.
For some of them that's true. For most titles, either there is no DRM, or the DRM has been or will be defeated.
It was always arbitrary to claim they couldn't do a more secure OS without those specific features, since most of their security features do not require the not-that-Pixel-specific features they claimed were necessary. Since their OS is not 100% secure since none are, they were always able to achieve their goal of increasing security without those features.
The US is now carbon negative. It reached a max of 6 billion metric tons of CO2 in the 2000s. In 2025, we are putting out about 5 billion metric tons.
AHahAHAHHAHaHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Thanks for proving you know how nothing works, as if we didn't already know that.
In a world without nations, and without hostile governments, your comment would make sense.
In the real world where we live, it's pathetic cuckery.
Yes, that is true, but the grandparent perhaps was referring to the fact that the user interface on phones is excruciatingly bad for anything other than entertainment and communication.
Yeah, sure, it only has ten times as many pixels as machines I was doing work on decades ago.
I'd argue for general use (e.g., writing, spreadsheets, light computations), screen size and keyboard will be the primary factors driving productivity.
A larger screen and keyboard can be attached to any non-crippled phone.
A lot of people are doing everything on phones and tablets now. And many of those phones have nearly tablet-sized displays.
What âoeworkflowsâ can you possibly have on a phone?
This makes you sound unaware that a phone is a general purpose computer with more power than any of us had just a couple of decades ago.

If you don't suck Trump's dick you get elected from the Republican party.
Get some perspective.
I had it on good authority that this wasn't possible because only pixel phones have certain security features. Snort
USB-C negotiates voltage and current, and current (and thus watts) are supplied on demand. So an oversize charger will always work fine on an undersize accessory. (there's NO risk of "blowing it up" if you try to charge a 60w macbook with a 140w charger)
There are also cases where a larger charger works better. We have some high end windows laptops here running CAD and they are entirely capable of DRAINING the battery WHILE PLUGGED IN because they shipped with lightweight chargers that supply fewer watts than the laptop can use when run hard. We ordered in some larger chargers (and yes, they're beastly bricks) that can keep up with and even charge the battery while CAD is running hard. So, bigger IS better.
I picked up a 140w Anker awhile ago, it's got three USB-C ports with quickcharge, and two USB-3 fast charge ports, with a nice built-in display. (it even came with a 140w USB-C cord) That's all I need to take with me, no matter which accessories I pack. It's so much better than ANY of the generic USB-C bricks they're including with laptops nowadays. I honestly don't WANT to pay more for an additional bundled brick I'm not going to take out of the box.
We don't like the conclusion, so change the metrics by which we came to the conclusion.
A bit like "Our students can't pass the standardized test, so instead of fixing our education system we're going to dumb down the tests."
Same principle. Don't like the results? Change the test!
