Suggest reading about the circumstances running up to the storming of the Bastille.

Adam Tooze just gave an address in Zurich and talks about this very question… apparently China is very well aware of this issue and is currently “working on it”

Despair is useless

Not really, unless you directly purchase the shares, you get no proxy voting rights on corporate governance.

When you have an investment account, do you know who does take your money and hold the corporate governance rights? The fund managers.

OWui has a search module which can be enabled. For me, running it entirely offline is more or less the draw. I think it also supports RAG search, although I don’t know how “good” it is… mostly I was just after a little magic box to play with.

Now, if only enterprise glass GPU’s weren’t so power hungry and expensive…

Maybe real estate?

I tried to get this up and running back on my K6-2, unfortunately I couldn’t work out how to get the X server running with my 3Dlabs FireGL Pro card at the time.

Do you want yellow jacket protests? Because that’s how you get yellow jacket protests.

Seriously though… it might not have been so extreme had macron not had his neoliberal head up his own ass and actually made the transition possible for rural drivers.

Yeah, kinda funny how it’s OK when there’s a bunch of neoliberal gangsters like larry summers behind it, right?

“Today nothing happened, and everything is fine. (Fear it, fear it)”

Billionaires should pay 100% tax over $999,999.99 of personal wealth.

Some people still get to be wealthy. Problem solved.

Someone tell that to NY state’s gov.

The sun will start increasing in luminosity within a billion years, at which point it will be intense enough to cause rocks to begin soaking up CO2 to a point where photosynthesis will become difficult, and the planetary food chain will collapse.

The hour is much later than we think. Maybe another supercontinent cycle or so?

The hour’s growing late there. We needed to solve that problem before this technology became available. Just need useful life-extension technology and then it’ll just be a bunch of rich psychopaths running around the planet, and everyone else will be disposed of.

I recently had to hold my nose to see a band I’ve been following for a very long time.

The venue utterly sucked, treated like cattle, tighter security than getting on a plane flight. Pathetic.

Ticketmaster/livenation can go die in a fire.

…yet another reason to not use that pestilence.
