BadEmpanada has been a fool for a long time so this is fun to see

I call that the MapQuest way

Yes, this is definitely a thing, just because the algorithm can't know why a place has low traffic just that it does. So Google Naps routes people up and down Baxter Street in Los Angeles which is one of the steepest streets on Earth, for example. Or even in my little bumfuck town it would tell me to turn left across three lanes of traffic or something before telling me to take the route that avoids such a turn. Google drives like an asshole because Google doesn't actually drive.

I wasn't comparing. I don't think any Nazis are excusable Nazis.

I guess my attempt at sarcasm fell flat. I agree, Russia is capitalist and homophobic and I'm a communist queer so I hope y'all let me post on your forum.

We could seize the means of production

Microsoft loves this. They bought GitHub for a reason

Isn't that why FOSS survives as a model and is encouraged so much, though, so there is something to enclose and charge bullshit fees for once you fork it?

Tear Gas Ted knew that people were already aware of how shitty UA was from what they did in LA & SF, he was never going to allow democracy to get in the way of the grift.

This company is the worst kind of shady rent a cop type that flourished under the Trump administration and continues under Joe "Nothing will fundamentally change" Biden. They are grifters and bullies and take in millions to prey on homeless people to make rich people feel safe or whatever. They work as private security, skirting regulations about that by calling their staff "ambassadors" and just generally operate like a street gang. Urban Alchemy is a curse on the West Coast and they want to take their business model of public private partnerships between them and corrupt local government officials like Ted Wheeler in Portland or Mitch O'Farrell in LA.

I bet it smell crazy in there
