  • Kamala would have defended DMCA and Big Tech to the death. The only difference might have been a little less crypto grifting, but it’s nonsense to suggest there would have been a major difference on the issues this article is actually discussing.

  • A manifestation (or “manif” for short) is the word for a (political) protest in some languages

  • You literally just explained how it is a function of supply (through an artificial shortage), not income. It’s lack of competition between landlords (whether through corporate landlords buying up millions of units or lots of little landlords using RealPage to engage in collusion via algorithm), and not discretionary.

    On average, people don’t pay more than a third of their income for groceries because there’s still competition in the grocery space (which is also why it was so important that Lina Khan blocked the Kroger-Albertson’s merger).

    We can hate landlords and capitalism without saying nonsense about UBI.

  • My brother in christ, do you think landlords make rent proportional to people’s income right now?

  • Mandatory licensing of video content to anyone who can pay for it (similar to what the music industry does) is the only thing that the might disrupt the streaming industry, like a sort of Paramount Decrees for the streaming age, since monopolies on originals is what keeps people locked in

  • That’s why it’s good they’re owned by an independent foundation and not shareholders looking to win merger approval to expand a media empire

  • Adversarial interoperability FTW

  • But it’s not copyrighted if it’s AI-generated, right? Or are there human co-writers and/or performers?

  • Ignore OP’s weird question, the book looks really cool

  • “Just Us” by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross

  • His recent monologues are decent too, like the ones on why AI is bullshit and why there are no ethical billionaires
