NodeBB, alcune mie impressioni
E' da quasi due mesi che uso NodeBB, la piattaforma di forum federata, e le mie impressioni sono positive. Per apprezzare al meglio le caratteristiche e le potenzialità di NodeBB occorre loggarsi come utente amministratore e non come utente normale.
Quando mi collego a NodeBB come utente normale, ad esempio, è difficile seguire le vecchie discussioni, perché tanti post risultano eliminati, probabilmente dall'utente che li ha scritti o dalla piattaforma remota, come può essere Mastodon che tra le opzioni ha la possibilità di eliminare i post dopo tot giorni.
Questa caratteristica di eliminare i vecchi post post rende molto frustrante l'esperienza forum.
Se invece mi collego a NodeBB come utente amministratore riesco a seguire i thread delle vecchie discussioni molto meglio, perché i post "eliminati" me li ritrovo intatti al loro posto, probabilmente perché sono stati memorizzati da qualche parte da NodeBB che li riproduce solo agli utenti amministratori.
Comunque l'utente amministratore ha a disposizione una tale quantità di caratteristiche e opzioni di configurazione che non sono a disposizione dell'utente normale.
NodeBB poi, lo si apprezza decisamente meglio se lo si naviga dal browser del desktop sul monitor del PC, piuttosto che dallo smartphone. L'esperienza mobile di NodeBB, secondo me, è da migliorare, anche perché NodeBB ha caratteristiche evolute che per essere gestite e apprezzate necessitano di uno schermo ampio, poco gestibili invece dallo schermo di uno smartphone.
Tra le cose belle di NodeBB c'è quella di poter definire le categorie di argomenti e indirizzare i vari post degli utenti remoti seguiti nella giusta categoria, in base ai tag presenti nei post. Inoltre è possibile anche per le categorie seguire categorie remote, come se fossero degli utenti e ritrovarsi i post degli utenti delle categorie remote nelle categorie locali che le seguono. Così tante opzioni e caratteristiche che neppure io riesco ancora a capire il funzionamento di alcune, rendono inevitabile la presenza di bug da correggere.

The Discord Hack is Every User’s Worst Nightmare
The Discord Hack is Every User’s Worst Nightmare
A catastrophic breach has impacted Discord user data including selfies and identity documents uploaded as part of the app’s verification process, email addresses, phone numbers, approximately where the user lives, and much more.The hack, carried out by a group that is attempting to extort Discord, shows in stark terms the risk of tech companies collecting users’ identity documents, and specifically in the context of verifying their age. Discord started asking users in the UK, for example, to upload a selfie with their ID as part of the country’s age verification law recently.
💡
Do you know anything else about this breach? I would love to hear from you. Using a non-work device, you can message me securely on Signal at joseph.404 or send me an email at joseph@404media.co.“This is about to get really ugly,” the hackers wrote in a Telegram channel, which 404 Media joined, while posting user data on Wednesday. A source with knowledge of the breach confirmed to 404 Media that the data is legitimate. 404 Media granted the source anonymity to speak candidly about a sensitive incident.

Summary
A catastrophic data breach at Discord's third-party vendor Zendesk has exposed sensitive user information, including ID documents and selfies uploaded for age verification12. At least 70,000 people were impacted by the breach, with hackers leaking users' driver's licenses, approximate locations, real names, and emails2.
The hackers are attempting to extort Discord and have already shared leaked selfies of users posing with their IDs in a Telegram group, along with a spreadsheet containing detailed information on a thousand users2.
This breach validates critics' concerns about tech companies collecting sensitive identity documents, particularly in light of recent age verification requirements in countries like the UK2. As one security expert notes in Gadgeteer, "a password is easy to change, but an ID document is often a nightmare to change, and the ID number anyway stays the same"3.
Discord says it is working with affected users and authorities but won't give in to the hackers' demands2.

From Discord's age verification page, under "Privacy and Data Security":
Q: Is my data stored when I use Face Scan or Scan ID verification?A: Discord and k-ID do not permanently store personal identity documents or your video selfies. The image of your identity document and the ID face match selfie are deleted directly after your age group is confirmed, and the video selfie used for facial age estimation never leaves your device.

Am I manually going to have to record each file with audacity which will be a time consuming pita or is there a way to batch download a play list for free?

Yeah thats to be expected sorry. If you want to use a free option youll need to look into deezer or qobuz downloaders. Streamrip should work, but afaik tidal always requires a paid subscription to download from.
You might need a trial account to use qobuz but it should let you. You can also find 'paid' arls for deezer to allow downloading flac.
There are services that can migrate playlists across services for you also, but i dont know of any free ones.

Yeah I'm just manually downloading them with scdownloader and its quite a pain in the ass. Even if I pumped it full throttle for GPT to skeleton me a code that scrape the info and puts it into scdownloader, that'd still probably take longer than manually typing in the song title and copying a link and pasting it into a another tab and clicking download.
I'm not gonna pay for downloading these tracks. I was just hoping to not have tc spend so much time doing it. FLAC doesn't matter, it just needs to be better than the phone mic quality recording that the video has the audio files into.

Concerned message from CEO of Telegram about privacy and censorship
I'm turning 41, but I don't feel like celebrating.
Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for
us by our fathers.
What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is
being turned into the ultimate tool of control.
Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as
digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of
private messages (EU).
Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the
Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is
criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.
A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast - while we're asleep. Our
generation risks going down in history as the last one that had
freedoms -and allowed them to be taken away.
We've been fed a lie.
We've been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation
is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy,
sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.
By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we've set ourselves on a
path toward self-destruction - moral, intellectual, economic, and
ultimately biological.
So no, I'm not going to celebrate today. I'm running out of time. We
are running out of time.

Germany is what?
Also the EU voted against chat control.
I partly agree with your point, but please state the facts precisely.
The message (which appears as a banner in the Telegram app, too) is filled with overhyped “news” and generalization regarding freedom of speech. Since him being stopped and investigated in France, he’s gone pretty unhinged on freedom of speech, disregarding the complexity of governing bodies and the real effect of information without bounds.
He makes valid points and I’m not defending anyone, but he oversimplifies and misreads some topics.
Also the EU voted against chat control.
They did not. It was just removed from the agenda for now.
The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets.
What an absolute loads of bollocks.
There has recently been 1 woman jailed for her tweets where she admitted to inciting violence, not because of free speech issues.
These libertarian wankers love citing that sole case (and make out that it's "thousands, I tell ya!") but will overlook that several Just Stop Oil protesters were jailed for 4 years just for holding a zoom call and anti-genocide protesters are being arrested and charged with terrorism offences just for writing on a bit of cardboard.

You should ask that of yourself. Youre the one who brought up paedos. Maybe you get all too muddled in your head and cant make a salient point?
And if you paid any attention to those reports, you would know that the vast majority are where those people have been critical of the UK or other govts actions, especially surrounding Palestine and none have gone further with the exception of Asa Winstanley. The only reason the police have visited those people is because zionist like complaining about nothing until they get their own way.
The one that the commentor here was responding to was a clear case of inciting violence. The same with people like the constantly crashing out Graham Lineham, who was arrested by police because he was inciting violence against a protected class.
So while the UK govt is infringing on peoples free speech, its not the ones who are getting all the publicity. Theyre just a bunch of whining fuckwits who want to be able to threaten people without consequence.
Please do try to keep abreast of the situation rather than stomping in with big boots and looking like a fucking idiot.

If it’s a private group they don’t know what’s happening
This is not true, group chats with more than two members on Telegram are NEVER encrypted. Telegram admins have full access to see the contents of these private chats, and have the ability to respond to court orders, but they were ignoring those requests. This is why he was arrested. Google/YouTube respond to court orders and do take stuff down, and actual encrypted messengers like Signal have no way to see the contents of the messages, which is why the owners and operators of these services have never been arrested.

They aren't encrypted, hence why I never said they were. This is something your cooked mind imagined so you can argue with yourself.
Private Groups: Only members can see messages. Admins cannot view messages unless they are part of the conversation.
This means if "Crimegroup" has shady stuff in the group if no member snitched it wouldn't be known for them to even delete it. While telegram (the company or workers) could look right in they would need to know it's an illegal group first because luckily they aren't spying on everyone by default
They aren't encrypted, hence why I never said they were.

If it's a private group they don't know what's happening.
you know, trust and safety teams aren't looking at the content with the apps when they look for harmful content. they have access to better moderation tools with access to the database, where the messages are readable to them because of the lack of end to end encryption.

JP Morgan staff told they must share biometric data to access headquarters
JP Morgan Chase has told staff moving into its new headquarters in New York that they must share their biometric data to access the multibillion-dollar building.
The investment bank had previously planned for the registering of biometric data by employees at its new Manhattan skyscraper to be voluntary.
However, employees of the US’s biggest bank who have started work at the headquarters since August have received emails saying that biometric access was “required”, according to communications seen by the Financial Times.

I don't think so, these places are ones that have the "yes, actually mossad" threat vector to defend against.
Like the general public already wouldn't get in.
I feel like there’s some kind of middle ground between the notoriously insecure HID style building access card and providing biometrics.
I wonder if this has anything to do with a RTO push and people badging in for others. But then VPN usage would show that…
Maybe I should, to establish a pattern.
But then I’d have to go to the office. Ew. HR is there.
Some companies do "internet only" wifi where there is no routing to internal services for anyone, radius or not. A VPN is required, even when at work, to access anything internal wirelessly. Its a perfectly reasonable config that lowers the risk of breach of your internal network by exposing less of it over the air.
This is also the nominal config for most zero trust networks, but that's more a consequence of the "always on" nature of those VPN connections since you never have unencryted traffic anywhere, regardless of origin point.
Not quite like that. There is an internal wifi that I can't get onto, and a public "guest" wifi that half of the tech staff uses and VPNs from.
Basically the protected wifi only really works on locked-down windows machines, and those aren't usable for most developers. It's mostly mac and linux there, and while the protected wifi is supposed to work on those, the IT staff don't know how.
locked-down windows machines
I've worked in IT since we used Netware with Windows 3.1
While I totally get what's being said, it still makes me chuckle.
Our servers are in a data center and not in the office building. We work remote most of the time and are only in office for important meetings and other things where it's just easier to work together when sitting on the same table. If you don't work with confidential data like HR or top management where you have physical things nobody else should see, you don't have a personal desk because there are more people working than workplaces.
So the office is just "another place to work". Wifi and LAN are just for internet, you can't access internal services without VPN. Makes it way easier to manage instead of having to different routes to maintain.
2FA the access card? Swipe your badge, receive a prompt on your phone "Are you trying to badge in at $BUILDING?", hit allow, be granted access to building.
Another option would be badge + PIN code.
Staff: "But we don't have to if we work remotely, right."
JP Morgan Chase: "No remote work."
You think it’s easy to steal someone fingerprint or iris in a way that will work on scanners?
How?
Biometrics are not usernames. They are physical identifiers and unlike usernames you can’t change them.
I used to work in a datacenter that required you to go through a mantrap to access. It required three things:
- Something you have (a card key)
- Something you know (a PIN)
- Something you are (biometrics)
To get to the datacenter floor you use a card key to open the door to the mantrap. It’s a small vestibule about the size of a phone booth. Once inside the door closes. You then enter your PIN on a keypad and place your hand on a biometric scanner. Once your hand is recognized the inner door opens and lets you into the datacenter. I was told the mantrap also weighed you and compared that with previous trips through to make sure somebody else didn’t sneak through with you.
Biometric access requires staff to scan their fingerprints or eye to gain access through security gates in the lobby instead of swiping their ID badges.
You could not sign me up fast enough to be able to open my office’s door with my fingerprint or eye.
The systems that handle biometric logins for gigantic companies are usually pretty bulletproof and have been audited many times.
I’m guessing people on here will think this is the second coming of the devil though lol. I can only imagine the outrage if FaceID/TouchID didn’t already exist on phones and Apple/google/etc added it in 2025 🤣

It would reduce their short term revenue, but would improve their long-term revenue. Netflix used to have a great product, but they fiddled with it to make people watch only certain content that brings them more revenue. Same with Spotify. This then reduces the number of people willing to pay for the service and since there are few competitors that are better and/or have as much content they "piracy" is the only way to get the content you want for a reasonable price, with a good user experience.
So short term these things improve revenue, but not as much as the revenue lost in the long term as people start to dislike the the poor experience or are unable to afford the higher prices. And people don't want multiple services to have to check for new content all the time all with different poor Ux.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - blame Dodge (yes, that Dodge) for setting precedent that shareholder satisfaction legally comes before customer satisfaction.
It is a problem for the profit seek enterprise and the media is shilling their side.
I wish the media had as much concern about my income being suppressed the profit seek enterprise. But it never really happens besides odd lip service.

This is like putting a healthcare CEO's granddaughter up in the US as we've only begun to recover, 25 years after removing Trump from power, and a powerful enemy state; let's say Russia; sabotaging any recovery, pointing at the results of their sabotage as proof recovery has failed, and awarding Ms. Thompson numerous prizes and recognition for being hated by the public and rightfully prevented from holding power.

What is her fault? Why is she crying?She cries because there is no food… she cries out of fear for her father and brother who sleep outside the tent because it is too small, after we were displaced and forced to put the women inside the tents to cover them.
This is my little sister Montaha… Please, donate and extend your helping hand.
I am her brother, unable to provide for her needs. I deprive myself of food just to feed her… Please help us, people of kind hearts, true humanitarians… Make a difference in our lives.
I am dying of grief over my family and the children around me… and I am dying of hunger.
An extremely urgent plea for help

Tags vs flairs
The two serve similar, but different purposes. A quick guide:
Post Flair
Post flair are created per-community by the community moderators. Categorizing posts with flair makes it easy for users to just look at posts within that community with just that flair. To see what I mean, try checking out !fediverse@piefed.social and click a post flair in the sidebar there. It will filter all the posts in the community feed to just posts that have that flair. If you are familiar with post flair on reddit, this is intended to work pretty much the same way.
Tags / Hashtags
Within a community
Tags are a thing that can function in a similar way to post flair when we are talking about within a community, so I understand the confusion some people have. For example, if you click on a hashtag in the sidebar of !fediverse@piefed.social, it will similarly filter the community to just posts that have that hashtag. So...same thing, right?
Across communities
Well, hashtags can also serve another role. They can help group similar posts across multiple communities as well. For example, clicking the #Mastodon hashtag in the sidebar of !fediverse@piefed.social community takes you to this page, where all the posts within that community using that hashtag are listed. However, posts in other communities can also use the #Mastodon hashtag...so how do we see those?
The answer to that is that there is a way to search for posts by tag. Here is the page for piefed.social. You can search for a hashtag, and then when you select it, you can see all the posts (across all communities) that use that hashtag. Following up on the example we used earlier, if you want to look at all the posts using the #Mastodon hashtag, here you go.
Across the fediverse
The other thing that hashtags do that post flair doesn't is that microblogging services like mastodon understand them better. So, it helps users on other fediverse software platforms find your posts better. @rimu@piefed.social wrote a bit about that just the other day over here.

In hopes of helping out mobile linux, I decided to bolster its supply of mobile games. I don't know if mobile Linux needs mobile games, but I make games as a hobby and want to try to help out however I can. The code is open source and the game has been tested on my Librem 5. Code can be found on GitLab.

Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions
Firefox is adding profiles to separate your browsing sessions
Mozilla is introducing profiles to its Firefox web browser that make it easier to separate and organize your online activity.Jess Weatherbed (The Verge)

firefox -P profiles into this new kind of profiles, and have them all be synced by firefox with a single account instead of recreating them on all my devices. On the filesystem they seem to be the same, just not in the same place.
Been using it for years.
Been using multi account containers [1] for a couple weeks, complete with per-tab-SSL vpns.

Next they’re gonna tell me they haven’t heard of about:processes either
about:config has all the fame…
You can have a whole other instance of Firefox with different settings, extensions, themes, logins, bookmarks, history...
It's really handy imo to have a school/work profile with relevant bookmarks, history, extensions and then have a separate personal profile for all my personal shizz. Not to mention not having my personal stuff pop up in my school/work profile to avoid embarrassing moments and not having work shit annoy me on my personal profile.

Or just -P "profilename" to launch that profile directly from a shortcut.
You can have as many running simultaneously as you'd want.

Uhm ... is this perhaps for the android browser then?
The desktop browser has had this for a long long time, though in recent builds a bit hidden.
I still use various profiles, very handy.
I don't need a 3rd ui for switching profiles.

It works like profiles in chrome now.
Is it gonna pop up obnoxiously every time you start the program?
Is it gonna demand that I create a new profile every time I sign in to Google?

Your choice, there's a checkbox to ask every time or not

I don't recall anything like that, though I don't recall that in Chrome either.
I wish there was a feature like this on YouTube. I'd love a profile for watching educational videos, a profile for feeding me cool videos when I'm high, and a profile for when my kids want to watch stuff. I'm tired of vibing and listening to music videos only to get hit with a language learning podcast or Disney songs.
It's insane that they have an incognito mode that still serves up ads even though I have premium.
You can create different accounts under different email addresses.
Once you're logged in, you can switch between accounts from the dropdown menu.
I've done this in the past to separate French YouTube recs from English ones.

They do have categories and I've tried to put different channels in different categories, but the thing is just so hard to use I gave up.
It's quite surprising how bad Google can be at UX.
It really is wild how a company can be so massive yet unable to do basic UI. I got a notification that someone replied to a YouTube comment I made so I clicked the notification and it opened up YouTube's landing page. I tried to find notifications and couldn't so instead I tried to find a page that has my comment history.
I had to look it up and apparently you can't even find it on YouTube, you have to go to a separate website, my activity.google.com.
Youtube > Profile picture > Settings > Add or manage your channel(s) > create a channel
You basically get a new "profile" with your own subs, history, profile picture, and comments and premium/channel subscriptions apply to all of them
I agree, I would love seperate "recommendation profiles" so like if I am in the mood for music, swap to music, if I want education, I can swap to that, feeling lets play? swap to gaming, horror could be creepypasta or horror games.
All under the same parent account so the premium status could apply while google would still be able to leech data off the main profile, the only difference is the curated content given is based off the profile.
edit: HOLY CRAP APPARENTLY THIS EXISTS ALREADY; you just need to make a sub channel under your parent account and the benefits share. I didn't realize recommendations were isolated with that.
Right yes, for when buying a ring for my wife.
Yes they've had that for ages it's called incognito mode or whatever the equivalent name for it is on Firefox. But it definitely has that mode already.
No, this is completely different. Incognito mode deletes all browsing data (locally) once the window closes.
This allows you to say, be logged into Facebook on one profile, logged into Google on a different profile, and logged into your daily browsing in a third profile. Or you can have multiple logged in YouTube sessions in case you're a content creator, you can have a profile for each of your channels.
This way the cookies for each aren't intermixed, and it would make it (slightly) harder to correlate browsing habits from embedded cookies or logged in sessions, or just to keep tabs and browsing history separate.
Yay, a 25 year old feature with a new UI design.
I'm using FF as my daily driver, but I feel my hatred for Mozilla soon reaches the level of my hatred for Google.
I do wonder (just in my head, there's no hint to that in the public) if all that money Google pays to Mozilla somewhere has a no-competition clause which says FF must stay more shitty than Chrome.
I'm not consciously of one Innovation out of Mozilla that made FF a better browser, and a lot of interesting stuff has been canceled.
It's still an OK browser, but it is like it was 15 years ago. While I watch colleagues using chrome reskins which have great tab management (amazing when you use Jira). Only now that we have LLMs people turn browsers into agents - why the fuck is there no cross - request scripting (go to google, search for this, click on 2nd result...). Yeah we have developer tools like puppeteer for that, but having - say python or js to do so would make people use it more frequently.
Browser history. Ah damn, a day ago I saw a page that explained how to do xx with yy while considering zz. How great some decent browse history would be. (And yes, FF, keep it all, but only when I'm at weirdkinkyporn.com/, please just store it for a few hours). A single keyword for history search IS NOT ENOUGH. I need to isolate things by adding a number of things, because if I knew the word I'm searching for, I'd just google it anyways.
Yeah, so much more things you could do (and the above ideas are just half - baked thoughts).
But Mozilla needa tha sweeet CEO payments. There's no money for experimental stuff.
About a month ago, I ranted about that with a few friends, afterwards I rage-contributed to the Servo project.
I just wish Google would cut off that Mozilla money, I really believe that would improve competition.
That no-compete agreement is a product of my imagination, but things really feel like that.
Fuck Mozilla.

For highly technical users containers are going to do everything we need.
For non technical users who need separation, profiles are a standard known framework.
My non technical spouse prefers profile to separate work and personal. She uses different themes for each profile so it is very obvious which is which.
Also one of the extensions she likes interferes with a work site she is required to use. She has that extension installed in the personal profile but not work profile.
Zen has "workspaces", which I don't get at all. Profiles seems like too much, containers works fine for me.
Crazy all the useless nonsense Mozilla has room for, since they helped kill RSS by dropping browser UI support for it for "simplification". It was the same rationale for removing live bookmarks and Shift+Enter to add .net to an address and Ctrl+Shift+Enter for .org.
I can let my kids play on my computer without them screwing up my personal browser history or getting into any of my accounts without having to teach them how to use yet another extension.
Vivaldi has a great example of profile management where I can literally create a desktop shortcut for each person that uses my computer, complete with their name, and it's their own separate internet profile.
Yes, I'm aware I could solve this problem by using multiple user profiles on my computer, but the overhead and the amount of management would also be a massive headache. It is just far easier to do this.
Ironically, in the article it's pictured running on Windows, which now has a built-in mechanic for automatically screen shotting everything you do and keeping records.
Yay.
The screeshots shows functionality that the current profile/profile launch UI already has. Choose, create, ask on startup.
Right now it's hidden behind a startup parameter. But honestly, I would prefer a UI between the current one and the new one. That screenshot looks like it would reduce usability through big spacing and suboptimal alignment. At least judging by my preferences.

I guess adding a picture is nice. But does it have to be that huge and prominent?
Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles | Firefox Help
Firefox stores your personal information and settings in a profile folder. Learn to work with different profiles on Firefox.support.mozilla.org
This only works on Windows. For Macs and maybe Linux, you have to run this command to bring up a different profile:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -p
As best I can tell, there's no way to make this into a shortcut that you could just click on. This change will be good and allow me to launch them without invoking that command in terminal several times after rebooting my computer.
In Windows it's the same. Though the parameter is -P (uppercase) not -p. That's why the comment said "it’s hidden behind a startup parameter".
As best I can tell, there’s no way to make this into a shortcut that you could just click on.
I dont know about Mac, but in Linux you can just manually make a .desktop file to have as a shortcut to call firefox -P, or better a shortcut to a specific profile with firefox -P <profile>. Though what I often do is keep a bookmark to about:profiles and open a new window from there.
On Mac:
If you want an icon you can double click on your desktop, you can put you command in a file with the extension “.command” and mark it as executable. Double clicking it will run the content as a shell script in Terminal.
If you want something that can be put into the Dock, use the Script Editor application that comes with macOS to create a new AppleScript script. Type do shell script "<firefox command here>" then find Export in the menu. Instead of Script, choose export to Application and check Run Only. This will give you an application you can put in the Dock.
If you want to use Shortcuts, you can use the Run Shell Script action in Shortcuts too.
Finally, if you want something that opens multiple firefoxes at once, chain multiple firefox invocations together on one line separated by an ampersand. There is an option you have to use (--new-instance I think?) to make Firefox actually start a complete new instance.
It's the same as about:profiles
Just an easy way to separate people's browsing histories, cookes, bookmarks, etc I guess. And you can have them sync independently as well. For if other people want to use the same computer
It was part of Firefox before Chrome was even a thing.
Many people aren't aware of firefox -P and/or about:profiles.. but it's one of the oldest features in firefox.
It's annoying not just having a dedicated button like, for example, chrome has to manage profiles.
Is a hidden feature still a feature?
I've been using this daily for many years. It's behind a CLI flag, is that hidden ?
Feels super strange to read this. They had profiles for what, decades now? It just required a simple command line flag.
I mean, this is better, but... Yeah.
It is a great feature and is the main reason I like Floorp (Firefox fork). But the UX does not look good, I think the way Floorp does is better:

That would be somewhat OK if people could figure out to vote for taxing companies, high income and wealth.
And the redistribute so nobody goes hungry and all have health care.
But as it is, wealth is accumulating more for the top 10% than ever.
All the advantages are given to the rich, the idea of leveling the playing field is passé.
Top 10% are useful idiots who get to live the "middle" class life.
Real money is all centralized with the people who actually own these mega corporations.
Instead we are squabbling over whether the extremely poor should be allowed to have food stamps!?
It's insane!
This didn't happen over night. Boomers vote for this their entire lives.
Now they get to enjoy the welfare state whole the rest of us eat shit
People who destroyed social safety nets are the people who living off welfare.
I am highlighting how clown the system is and boomers benefited from screwing everyone over.
We have people working for money with no health insurance living worse off than people who don't work.
This is unsustainable

The powers that are driving this are actually planning 20, 30 years ahead. Market solutions is a cover for class war. Trump is cashing checks written by Bush, Obama, etc.,
The "line go up" meme is prevalent because the attitude is a flimsy cover for deeper relations and actual class conspiracy
So is offshoring and immigration, and these are way bigger than AI.
In fact most of the job losses since AI clown show started has been form off shoring professional jobs to idea.

Ex-Ilva di Cornigliano. Quale futuro?
Sulla newsletter L'Unica Genova (vedi link sottostante) un approfondimento sul future della acciaieria Ex-Ilva di Genova-Cornigliano.
Lo stabilimento dell’ex Ilva di Genova si estende su un milione di metri quadrati tra il mare e il quartiere di Cornigliano. È il secondo più importante in Italia dopo quello di Taranto, ed è il principale punto di collegamento con gli altri impianti dell’azienda in Piemonte, come quello di Novi Ligure. A Genova, al momento, viene prodotta la banda stagnata, ovvero la latta per usi alimentari. Non a sufficienza, però: Genova ne produce centomila tonnellate all’anno, ma il Paese ne consuma 800 mila. A Genova si producono anche la banda cromata e quella zincata. Il forno elettrico del futuro, in ogni caso, dovrebbe servire non solo per la lavorazione dell’acciaio – che oggi viene spedito dallo stabilimento di Taranto – ma anche per la sua produzione. Con l’obiettivo di tutelare l’occupazione: a Cornigliano i lavoratori sono 1.200 e il piano prevede altri 700 posti di lavoro.
