My bathroom faces a very sunny window so heats up every day... I wash myself dry my clean self with the towel, then it dries with the sun.

The result is it doesn't get particularly dirty or left wet for particularly long.

I'm fine with downvotes, but often the problem with the left is not enough money... And it's understandable if they're always anti corporations and anticapitalist.

But... It would be good to have more rich leftists and punks. They could treat workers better with stock sharing (like that Chobani company did that one time), or by letting the workers have more time off, or just have the company (making it a worker owned coop)... Or in a much more centist way, like Mark Cuban (probably not a leftist) making generic medicines more accessible.

I'm just saying, a punk complaining about "corporate media" whilst valid, also feels cliche, and like a pathway to apathy, defeat, and being fairly voiceless in comparison to that corporate media (which is often loud, prevalent, and leans right).

What if instead - there was a Punk company, that WAS a media "corporation"? They could push punk messages all the time, whilst being a source of money, art, culture, and sustainable messaging and events.

I think that could be more punk, than the great traditions of amazing zines, in runs of 20 - 50 or less... and Yelling into a microphone and calling it music.

I guess all punks of action must become antiheros, and no corporation can be completely without heirachy....

....you know what, forget I said anything.

"some" "on board with" "potentially".

Don't forget the extra charges and price increases along the way which fund the tech billionaires who own these apps.

Previously we had Capitalism (and that already wasn't great). Where a buyer and a seller met and then freely determined the price transaction.

Now via many of these market place apps (ebay, Amazon, AliExpress) we have markets where a third party (the platforms owner) can algorithmically control who sees what prices, and when, acting as a means to promote whatever prices benefit the platforms profitability the most.

That's why the VC tech guru "disruptors" business model is often to run at a massive loss for years then basically owning a whole market.

This new system is called Techno-Feudalism.

Anthropic installed an AI-powered vending machine in the WSJ office.

Okay, so this feels like advertising... PlayStation is even getting in on the story.

Santa essentially has teleportation. Space is meaningless to the entity we know as Santa.

Does Friendica for instances, have something like Facebook Messenger going on? What would be the best for real time communication on both phone and desktop?
