There’s no problem. Those books should all be in the public domain anyway.

I was friends with one of the main branch of the Myiang family, one of the first Burmese families to take a Western last name. I also know that Burmese pythons aren’t as scary as some people make them out to be. And that ‘Crab Rangoon’ has nothing to do with Yangon.

Oh, and that there’s been a violent coup d’etat since about 3 years ago, and an oppressive, bloody genocide of the Rohingya population in the Rakhine state, which has been ongoing and unchecked through 2017. Cities have been destroyed, families have been murdered, and the world looks on without giving half a damn.

Damn you, why did you have to make me think of DF again?

It’s not about “agency”, exactly. It’s the fact that once you offer labor for money, it’s only logical to offer labor in the way that brings in the most money. That allows bad actors to influence what labor is performed by way of payment. It could lead to dependence on those bad actors and projects getting torpedoed that could be beneficial to the masses.

Their leverage is their value to the company. If you’re not capable of providing more than minimum value for your employer, then why should you work for that company? Find a company you can do more for.

Who negotiated for Cathy? She didn’t need collective bargaining, she needed to learn to stand up for herself - as every worker should.

I don’t think it should be tacit. It should be explicit - no eggs, no meat, no fish, no natural resource produced within the USA should be imported or exported. And if the US government won’t do that, let the rest of the world manage it.

The moment that money can be used to cut the line, we’ll see the same effect as we do in every other part of society. Those with money to burn will spend and shape whatever projects interest them. Or, more importantly, startups with funding could use the bounty system to submit priority features and send competing open-source software down rabbit holes. It would be a very poor idea.

That would make Windows 11 only “bad”, rather than “totally unusable.”

Who’s also got two active channels on YT.

I’ll still buy US eggs, even if there’s imports. The market will balance itself out when we can raise chickens again.

If you want a different level of shitty platform, You could just move to a VTT like Roll20.
