Internet Archive should provide us a record of actual peoples' work and thoughts, not some contrived facsimile of that work that also must meet the approval of those who openly admit they want to rewrite history.

That AC just dumps unsolicited takes from fark

"While third world peoples are being exploited in some intangible sense"

It's not intangible, it is the establishment of a standard that the poorest people people can have their biometrics harvested for cheap to feed Altman'a digital identity bouncehouse. Dystopian nightmare tech is almost always tested on people who have few alternatives, and whose countries won't care enough about human rights to resist it

"I know you are angry"

Why do you feel the need to interject my personal circumstances into it? They are unrelated to my taking an issue with this individual who has never worked at a McDonalds rationalizing wage theft with "well I could have just worked at McDonalds if I didn't like it, so so can you if you don't like it".

Factual information like "Finding a new job should take 4 to 8 weeks?" Have you actually worked at mcdonalds? If not then stfu with this bullshit, defending the predatory practices of banks with bootstraps fever-dream horseshit.

"you either overbought (living beyond your means) or lost your job"

What an oversimplification and omission of a massive, coordinated financial fraud against the entire population on the part of lenders. Aside the illegality of how people were given predatory loans that the lender knew they could not afford, nearly all major banks banks paid settlements for the illegal auto-forclosure robo-signing that they participated. In your rush to blame the individual, somehow all of this was memory holed. Or maybe you were only listening to the opinion of Peter Schiff or somesuch at the time.

"The unavailability of affordable housing is indeed much the fault of hgtv watching assholes"

Are corporate landlords watching HGTV? Do you think the higher ups at Blackstone are watching shows about flippers? You've been convinced that individual families and maybe some incidental landlords are to blame, when in reality the rug was pulled on everyday people in 2008, tearing from them the primary store of value that most people are given a chance at investing in in this country.

I didn't search, just went to page 1 and the bad takes i listed were at the top. You can read my history, I don't care. If people don't like it, then they should post as AC

"Only in America do people think their houses are to make a profit off of and not actually live in them."

"Think"? That is a weird way to take the fact that a house is the only meaningful investment that most Americans could aspire to having, and turm it around so that the unavailability of affordable housing is purely homeowners' faults. Get real.

I'm really not surprised at all at the volume of bootlicking in your other comments. Some recent ones:
"Healthcare is expensive because too much demand!"
"Homeless people walking around everywhere produce nothing, don't try to tell me anyone starved in America!"
"You only think this is evil because it's about Palintir (sic)!"

Now we can add on "This is only a story because of the word "billionaire!" It'd be hilarious if it wasn't sad.

There aren't any news outlets other than Fox news, Newsmax amd OAN that this administration would not want to see fail.

It's not as if the FBI cares for the financial well-being of any news outlet. All of the age restrictions forced the last several months (which are obviously meant to restrict adults that don't comply with age verification or digital ID) share a similar purpose. News itself is the enemy!

Heroic Laincher works great on linux. Haven't encountered a GOG game yet that doesn't work. Steam is fucking bloated, its goal is selling you things so it prioritizes fetching that info when it starts. Other launchers are much more lightweight

The guardian has been running defense for Israel just like other MSM, they just aren't as slavish as the American outlets. But any critique of Israel is racism to you. Must be lonely

It's a free service, not about profitability.. after all some of these tech companies are providing services to Israel that are similar to the human barcoding IBM provided for concentration camps during WWII
