Erm AKSHUALLY, I was making a reference to the fact that different operating systems run on hardware.

No. Linux is an operating system. So is Windows. Hardware is hardware. They are not people.
Yes
Methinks some folks need to go out and touch grass for a while.
Out of curiosity, can you specify the topics or give specific examples of this shitty behavior you speak of? Without examples it is impossible to determine if you are discussing behavior that is straight-up pathological (e.g. name-calling) or people having a different opinion.
Lol okay. I am apparently a bad actor for simply adding information to the discussion that always rapidly devolves into simple “eat the rich” rhetoric. Sure, go on with your sanctimonious lecturing, I’m here all day.
Jfc, you are angry.
I point it out because most people here don’t seem to understand how it works when announcements like this are made.
Important to point out that their wealth is largely unrealized gains, that is, only exists in theory. If the stock market / bond market / whatever market crashed, this wealth would largely vaporize. Stock prices are essentially a mass agreed-upon hallucination, as they can be extremely divorced from real assets like industrial machines. It does mean that by controlling these stock etc assets, other people have a harder time getting into this slice of pie and they can do dumb shit like buying Twitter and summarily running it into the ground.
The risk of being a landlord is exactly why I don’t do it, and invest elsewhere.
Thank you.
Oh ffs, being a private landlord owning a few houses for rent is not a risk-free endeavor and not purely parasitic. You typically have to fix up the properties first (an investment), do work to vet renters, manage the property (maintenance effort/time/cost), and absorb the risk of bad renters destroying the interior. The landlord has to invest their own time and money to provide a livable shelter to others, who exchange money for not having to deal with all the above listed. That livable shelter is a big freaking deal, or why else would someone choose to spend money on it?
Companies developing monopolies on rental markets is a very different scenario, and I don’t think it should be legal. Small private landlords? Yes.
All these commenters completely unwilling to consider the details of what you said. Got a slice of REIT in my retirement fund for exactly what you said.
They are being directed to attack ships indiscriminately by Iran. If they wanted to fight genocide for real, a naval blockade without weapons would do the trick. This is just terrorism.
The Houthis do this because Iran tells them to. WTF. Can’t believe you’re white-knighting this.
Edit: frfr
You realize it’s just an excuse for them to attack, right?
People have died in pirate attacks before.
Recently, ships have been hit with missiles.
A lot more people could die if the attacks are not stopped or avoided.
"An Indian venture capitalist is mounting an international legal campaign to pressure major media outlets to remove his name from articles or take down the stories altogether, Confider has learned.
In a move that has press freedom campaigners troubled, Rajat Khare, co-founder of Appin, an India-based tech company, has used a variety of law firms in a number of different jurisdictions to threaten these U.S., British, Swiss, Indian, and French-language media organizations."
His name is Rajat Khare. Streisand effect activate !
Dumb plan, Hamas. Israel will just bomb you to shits in record time…
Edit: y’all don’t get it. This gives Israel an excuse for total war. You ain’t seen nothing yet.
You mean every laptop or desktop machine pre-System76?
