lack of transparency kills everything. especially when the government already has hostile reputation towards its citizens. which is weird because it is way easier to get reelected when you actually do something that makes life of your people easier and more self-sustainable. but that’s probably a bit too much to ask.

therefore - fuck all’em

what baffles me is how blatant the big tech behaves. it is comically Bond villainesque. even big oil and pharma don’t act like that - at least they try to play-pretend they’re good guys (albeit everyone sees through their bullshit)

why go that far - how about the environmental impact of shelling the area with all sorts of munitions? Pretty much the entirety of russian-occupied territory since 2022 is rendered into a literal dead moonscape and even decades later (if this shit ever ends) a good chunk of that land will remain a red zone filled with all sorts of bad things.

In the end of the day the only thing that matters is how a bunch of old guys feel about the way that thing makes them look

that’s not how it works

If that’s ain’t gaming system then I don’t what is

An easy solution to make renewable energy more acceptable by political and economic elites is to physically demolished the other energy infrastructure so that they will be left with no choice but to pivot towards renewables instead of big clumsy easy to hit power stations. Works like a charm but there’s a catch.

If it is just ID but on the phone then it is a sensible idea with a couple of millions precautions to take care of. Case in point - Diia is fine if flawed realization of Digital ID and digital governance application. You just need to get through a dozen or so data leaks because we got our pentesting permanently outsourced to guys up east but aside from that - it is broadly fine.

education is critical in this whole thing and it is telling that it is consistently under attack. when people get smartened up about something - shit gets done.

What Musk did is something akin to patching the holes in the bomber plane that came back from the mission instead of strengthening the parts that didn’t got hit during said mission. Dude completely missed the point of his own agenda.

For whatever reason people vote for promises not track records. And even when the right people get in - the real problem has everything is that representation gets diluted with each successive government layer.

The higher it goes, the less it represents actual communities and regions. Even when the adequate people get all the way into parliament - you still have 80% of the cronies neutering their efforts and screwing everyone over. Not to mention those who just get corrupted by this kind of environment and opt into dirty dealings.

For example, you can elect fairly competent local representatives who would do their job like clockwork - but just one level above to the region level - and you get bunch of homies pushing their agendas instead of the region’s (which actively stifles local economy) and then the parliament is literally a menagerie of said characters at highest level mostly pushing their oligarch benefactor’s interest and cementing them in legislation (which actively stifles the economy state-wide). and then you get shit like labor codex being slanted towards employers to a ridiculous degree, you get tax legislation that doesn’t even make any sense, the whole business-related set of laws is downright hostile to new and small businesses in favor of big established companies and so on and so on.

facts

keep us updated

the last time i checked it wasn’t.

At this rate by 2030 hating Linux will classify as war crime

that’s why duckduck gang 4 life

there is also an issue with the scope of the whole system. it is way too big and too tangled to function smoothly.

because IP holders have enough pull to make their bitching and moaning heard instead of fixing inherent issues to force people into piracy.

nice
