I think you’re underestimating how many people want to work for the government for the perceived benefits. I’m saying they have the stuff already set up, in fantasyland it would be a fairly smooth transition.

If we’re talking total fantasyland, I suppose put those employees to work building a government backed alternative or an open platform to allow smaller companies?

Suppose you had a centralized federated system where states or municipalities or even companies could have their own drivers but it’s a common app?

Edit to add you could also have both driver and passenger rate each other and allow both to filter by rating, lower ratings would naturally pay more or less to compensate for the service. I bet in cities you’d have luxury versions of the same services all from the same app, but also cheap shitty services too.

Looks like a dope little device but at that price I think I might be more interested in a Steam Deck.

This would be a welcome development, I feel like social media is something you use tech to do, but it’s very rarely an interesting conversation about the tech itself.

Like how a grocery store has food but you wouldn’t call it a restaurant.

I don’t even like dogs… But that’s a GOOD boy.

I also work front end, I’ve had sooo many people give me this shit.

#1 Not advertising. Advertising is what you see before you enter the building. Some stores don’t even have shelf labels.

#2 Do you think someone can walk up to your garage sale and slap their own sticker that says $1 and demand you sell them a TV for $1? No, you can refuse to sell your own shit whenever you want. It’s YOUR shit. You can burn it in front of them if you felt like it.

As much fun as setting up a torrent box is, being an argumentative asshole is even better.

Depending on exactly how graphic the content shown is… I still kinda see both points. They made it, they made something they later claimed to feel remorseful over, but they’re still keeping the money so they clearly don’t feel that bad now do they?

Now that being said, it is a sign of maturing to be able to admit and even attempt to reconcile those mistakes, but at the end of the day it’s either exploitative or it isn’t. I kind of just think it’s a case of ESH.

China would eat Russia for lunch and then gloat about it.

Was gonna say this, I’d take an impression on paper then scan it and then just scale it to size.
