No, you're not reading:

> Then the negative externalities should be properly priced in.

is what I was replying to, saying the market isn't going to naturally do this because capital doesn't actually care about negative externalities until forced to.

That's literally all I said.

so it's not the market naturally pricing it in then is it?

and who exactly is doing the pricing here then?

we all know that rarely if ever happens. market don't care.

> whereas before you could run away to somewhere new, a new town, a new country, a new frontier now you can't escape it.

I genuinely think about this a whole lot. It's wild to think about this being an actual thing...

> What can we do to fight it?

Organizing and labor unions. The latter isn't the most popular thing around here but it's really the last thing we have. We broke out the guild system and forced fundamental changes in the past and it can be done again, but do we have the will to do so?

> It's a strange combination between modesty and strategically bending rules. I kind of adore that.

It's very earnestly human. Being rigid is fine and all but it also kind of sucks a hell of a lot. So it turns into a "how can I make this suck a little less without breaking what I believe in too much?" which is something I think we all struggle with but it's really laid bare here with the contrast between their lifestyle and ours.

Honestly it could also be it's just hard to fathom the breadth and scale. Easier to imagine someone opening your mail or tapping your phone or otherwise physically interacting with things you own over the government intercepting a request to post a picture to facebook, for instance.

I think a fair number of people intuitively understand just how massive the internet is and it's hard to conceptualize someone or something sifting through the sand to find your few little grains.

Hey look, they rediscovered that color exists! I dig it.

ha i meant to reply to the person asking for a citation but also another one you can add into your post.

hell hath no fury like a displeased business tyrant

imagine getting that mad as like the richest person in the goddamned world.

It's also literally in the Intercept article with a link to the story lol:

> According to Recode, the suspicious tweets in fact came at the behest of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, who had recently conveyed disappointment to Amazon officials that the company was not pushing back against criticisms that he considered misleading.

Cellular Automata are so cool. I did a project for a distributed computing course on them and it was real fun throwing different rules in and seeing what emerged.

I would very much like the ability to transfer between services but also completely delete once I've backed up locally.

oh you're one of those climate deniers. nothing you say is valid or worth listening to.

> Climate models show that we only have about 10-15 more years before complete climate collapse.

and here i am, waking up every day putting on my stupid pants and my stupid hoodie and meandering to my stupid laptop to make stupid little websites.

like normally i'm just going with the flow with this knowledge that the future is gonna suck but somedays like today it hits harder than it usually does when i see it written out this way
