Slavery never went away. It just became more profitable.
You can't have an economy if the "consumer class" stops consuming. If people have no confidence in the economy, they stop spending money. An economy only works if people SPEND money, not if a tiny number of people hoard it.
AI writes stories / storyboards. Hollywood continues to make trash. Nobody buys it. Hollywood: "Wow. Why didn't THAT work?"
It's like watching someone hit themselves in the nuts with a mallet.
Also, "2019 M"? Your close family friend is over 2000 years old? Is the close family friend Sauron?
Anyone who has made copies of videotapes knows what happens to the quality of each successive copy. You're not making a "treasure trove." You're making trash.
I'm showing it from a basic search. Are you using a fork of F-Droid?
The giant hands are also a dead giveaway that it's an AI picture. Trump has always been insecure about his teeny, tiny . . . hands.
If you're working 40 hours a week and you STILL can't afford basics like food, shelter and healthcare, then your economy (and your employer) sucks.
He looks like "Poochie" from The Simpsons.
I bet Elmo has all kinds of cool ideas for making the government "more efficient." Like not going after billionaires to pay their share of the tax burden.
If you work 40 hours a week and you STILL can't afford to pay basic living expenses, then your economy sucks.
I'm actually enjoying the Linux learning curve because I know it's not working against my interests.
On the other hand, every time I've had to go "under the hood" with Windows (Registry settings, config files) it's been to prevent Microsoft from doing something sh*tty to me.
Microsoft also wants to use 50 gigabytes of your hard drive space (for the Recall snapshots) and make you buy AI co-processors or their software won't work. They want to use your property to create their own Skynet.
A dog will try to save your life if you're drowning. A cat will sit on your head to keep from getting wet while you're drowning.
A lot of these streaming services are ultimately owned by the same company. Ever had a favorite show, where only seasons 1,3 and 5 are available on one "service" and only seasons 2 and 4 are available on the other? This lets the owner of the series double-dip customers on subscription fees.
"Privatize the profits and socialize the risks." (for billionaires)
"But we can't let poor people get handouts. That's socialism."
AI is a ponzi scheme to relieve stupid venture capitalists of their money.
I have never heard of ANY of these services and I download a lot of stuff.
