If this is true, they're really screwed. No one is gonna use the new versions.

Case in point... Doom is not invented, it's discovered!

"Uncorrupt government"

This is as delusional as anyone can get.

A wise man said it all once: "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

And people wonder how I know that Lemmy is all teenagers.

Don't worry about the algorithm questions... companies asking that are just google-wannabe companies that don't deserve you. I have always told recruiters "if there's a time-limited interview test, I'm out", and I'm doing very well for myself now.

If you're desperate, unfortunately, you have to pick up a book on algorithms... one of those 600 pages book, and start reading...

Why the FUCK do you think you're entitled to get the free labor of bakeries working hard to make bread, farmers farming to create food, and people building technology to make your life easier?

No, you don't have to work. Go live in the forest and farm your own food. Maybe then when a lion attacks you you'll realize the value of modern civilization.

Right... you do understand that most politicians in western countries are career politicians that have been there for decades, right?

A good example is Biden himself. He's been there in politics for like 50 years. It's a geriatric club at this point it's become a common joke.

Same delusion as the poster of the meme. People believe in the same ideals that created the problem without looking at what it has become. Not everything that sounds good is good. Life is more complex than the simple model that simple people keep believing in. People will always find a way to abuse a system for their own benefit. That's the result of "power corrupts".

I keep my bitcoin in my hardware wallets. Given that I'm anonymous here, no one knows it exists, and no one can take it away from me, and no one can confiscate it because they don't know it exists, and if someone knows it exists, I can always have plausible deniability with fake amnesia, leave that country, and enjoy my wealth elsewhere.

But bitcoin is obviously a scam. You, smart guys, keep your money in the bank until a bail-in happens and the rich are bailed out with your hard earned money. Be the good boys. I'm the bad, stupid, evil, blablabla guy here, enjoying my financial freedom.

I use it for my servers and for remotely programming for over a decade. Using it on a desktop setup for work or games? Fuck no!

It's my criticism of the Linux community: They don't understand what "being productive" really means. I need to do work during the day, and produce results. I don't have time to deal with my docking station not working, monitors settings breaking, and tinker with them every day... not because I can't, but because I SHOULDN'T NEED TO.

It was cool when I was a teenager... now I need to make money.

As frustrating as it sounds. On windows and mac, literally plug and play. Every time I get the exact same setup. On Linux... dear Lord... every day a different problem and a different tinker until I swore that I'm done, and went back to remote use of Linux. Linux terminal is perfect, and that's probably all I'll need. Linux desktop through VNC, if ever.

Lemme is mostly spoiled teenagers raised by single moms that never had to work.

"Taxes" are not taken from the richest rich as proposed by this dumb OP's post. That's why you're wrong. What a stupid comment you made!

So are you gonna shut up now? Go read a book.

Edit: Because I know you'll start barking anyway, I decided to fit the data of the top 100 billionaires to an inverse function. Now go read a book and learn how nature works.

I know plumbers who make $250k/year. They didn't go to college.

when basic critical thinking doesn’t exist

When basic life experience doesn't exist except for what you hear on facebook.

How? By coercing them to give up their success? Hell no. I'm not gonna be part of this! If someone gives up something voluntarily, that's cool. Otherwise I'm against it.

Make a better calculation then come back, and stop criticizing examples. If you understand statistics, you'll see why whether 25 or 50 billionaires doesn't make much of a difference. They all mostly follow inverse function distribution in wealth. There's a law for it, forgot the name. So, no matter what amount you scrape from the top, it won't make a difference.

Again, ignorance in real world phenomenon and attempts to talk policy. Please stop! Read a book!
