The city that works!

I think I've got right around there where I'm living now; that's part of what makes it hard to contemplate leaving the country, even though this place (US) is turning pretty terrifying: I know if I leave it'll take years to build up friendships like that again, if it ever even happens.

Nah, go there and then start organizing with the warehouse workers to get them paid as much as you're being paid to do their job.

Seriously. It's beyond painful when some open source project only uses Discord for communication. You have to hope that you post your question at a time when the right people are online, and that there's not a more interesting conversation going on, otherwise it just gets lost. Index that whole dataset.

Making a profit from healthcare and health insurance.

Or even just make private health insurance illegal.

Hahaha:

if you continue to try { thisBullshit(); } you are going to catch (theseHands)

Hardware controls are meaningless if an attacker gets you to click on a dodgy link in a phishing email or you fall for a social engineering scam when "Microsoft" calls you because your computer has a virus.

You seem to be taking about something other than enshittification, which has a specific meaning and isn't just places not respecting privacy or whatever. Per Cory Doctorow (who invented the term) via Wikipedia:

Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification, and it is a seemingly inevitable consequence arising from the combination of the ease of changing how a platform allocates value, combined with the nature of a "two sided market", where a platform sits between buyers and sellers, hold each hostage to the other, raking off an ever-larger share of the value that passes between them.

If enshittification is what you're assist interested in reducing, check out Cory's book, The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation.

I think you mean "than other thieves stole." Don't want to accidentally imply they aren't thieves.

People don't seriously try to use Kali as a daily driver, do they? That's just a meme, right? Right?

Seems like a weird and random assortment of items. Why was Google Hangouts mentioned, but not Gmail? What about Discord, Slack, etc? Or smart TVs? Almost felt more like guerrilla advertising for a few niche products.

I remember thinking that women gave birth to girls and men gave birth to boys, and being really worried because I (as a guy) didn't want to give birth.
