Hey, what gives, no more trampoline.

Let’s jump on the car instead!

I would argue that fascism is the capitalism’s second final form.

Final form is feudalism, as always

Sounds like a publicity stunt.

I’ll see myself out

You didn’t overcome it, you spend some energy that the earth will eventually get back.

Unless you leave earth, gravity will eventually win.

So I actually read the article, even though there are huge outstanding questions on the nature of ownership, that’s actually not what the court argument is about:

Replying to Ubisoft’s argument that the statute of limitations is up, the plaintiffs responded with their own photos of The Crew’s packaging, which states that the activation code for the game doesn’t expire until 2099; that’s an example of how Ubisoft “implied that [The Crew] would remain playable during this time and long thereafter,”

Well yeah… software as a service is a thing but Ubisoft is straight up lying…

My two cents: no one is expecting online services to be up forever, so imo the correct solution is open source the game after the company meets their 10 (or 20) year obligation which should be clearly pointed out during the initial rental agreement (shouldn’t call it purchase)

Which goes to show you the economic divide.

PCs are a fraction of the cost, little wear and tear, no maintenance cost, no insurance nor storage costs, and no need to be licensed.

I honestly think it’s just that we are more poor than the boomers.

Gen Z are into social media most, it’s cause it’s cheaper than buying electronics and building PCs, all you need is 1 smart phone.

I bet gen alpha would be into minimalism given the trend.

The episode that has one of my favourite quotes:

They’re like sex except I’m having them

Which is a great analogy cause Hari fully lived and died in the collapsing empire. His life never improved due to faster collapse.

It’s not all or nothing, another way to think of it is:

How bad do things have to get for there to be an actual shift to making things better?

I would love to make things better one step at a time, I think our system is a great starting point.

But I ask myself the above question everytime things seem to be headed downward.

Events like Luigi is what I mean by things getting bad enough for something to push back.

While I agree in theory, it assumes the existing system has rational or somewhat rational actors.

If your system is full of counter productive individuals, it might be easier to start fresh.

This works better with groups and companies, entire countries, not so much.

Nah, it won’t be the same.

100 years ago we didn’t have ecological collapse.
