I’m in California, where it is legally required for them to provide an online cancellation if that’s how you signed up.
They have a cancellation link, but if you click it, it takes you to a fake error page.

Oh, did GM just step in it this time. Being stupid and removing important features is one thing, but straight-up defamation like this is another.
Google and Apple’s lawyers must be salivating a river right now.
Taco Bell is about as Mexican as Mac & Cheese. When I talk about Mexican food, I am talking about Mexican food.
Maybe it’s that I don’t watch much comedy, but I’ve literally never seen anything dump on Indian. There is nothing more delicious than Indian. Nothing. Not even Mexican food. I do not say that lightly.
The Avocado Tartine (+ Poached Egg) from Tartine Bakery here in California.
I’m a carnivore, through-and-through… but that $20 piece of avocado toast is orgasmic.
Second place: Tacos de Pastor de Trompo from this little stand in Ensenada (Baja, Mexico). I’m not sure if it’s even still there, but those tacos were ecstasy.
Commerce and wealth-based taxes (income, sales, capital gains, etc) are sufficient to cover any and all social needs. Taxing people on their own possessions - especially those critical to living - is beyond unethical, it is evil.
A property tax on a primary dwelling residence is unethical because it is not attached to any act of commerce. It is your home. It is your family’s life and legacy. Property taxes do not care whether the owners are billionaires or do not have a penny to their name, so they harm the middle class and the poor while it’s little more than an afterthought for the wealthy. Case in point: Hawaiians who are forced to sell their ancestral homes because they cannot afford property tax… because the “value” of their ancestral land is constantly and steadily increased by wealthy interlopers. This is just plain, old-fashioned banditry and theft - nothing more and nothing less… and if you advocate for it or justify it, you advocate for evil.
Property taxes of most primary dwellings should not be a thing.
No, it’s Californian food… which is vaguely inspired by Mexican food.
A classic first-person dungeon crawler, but co-op and with a classless skill-based system.
Games like Ultima Underworld, Arena, Daggerfall, Descent to Undermountain, Battlespire, Arx Fatalis… those games are my jam, and they have basically died off. My favorite RPG systems also tend to be skill-based rather than class-based, and Asheron’s Call (the original) had one of my favorite systems. I’m also all about co-op these days… so I want a co-op dungeon crawler with a skill-based system that looks and feels modern, like a natural evolution of those classics. And it has to be more than a hack-and-slash… it needs to have the depth and immersion of tabletop dungeon crawlers.
I’ve actually been working on it for a while now in UE. It’s purely a hobby/passion project, so who knows if I’ll ever have something to distribute… but since nobody else has been bothered to make it*, I will.
First off, wealth and power are the same thing and must be dealt with at the same time. So for a start…
Aggressive progressive taxation, up to 100% (billionaires - even 9-figure multimillionaires- must never be allowed to exist).
Abolish stock markets.
All companies must be employee-owned. Employees share equitable ownership of the companies they work within. Profits are shared only among employees.
Criminalize political spending, lobbying (aka bribery), etc. Candidates all draw from a public fund and platforms and that is all they may use.
Aggressive market regulation to protect competition and prevent consolidation. Our failure to protect the market from excess consolidation and integration is the primary reason we’ve reached the late-stage capitalism hellscape we currently exist within.
Again, this is a start… the tip of the iceberg.
There is a massive amount of leftist documentation on economics. We’re not all communists, but we recognize that any system devoid of regulation/oversight/accountability will always quickly travel rightward and become authoritarian. So the question is what systems and policies can be put in place to ensure not only equity for all, but equity that remains stable indefinitely (or as close as is possible).
I really like Orion, which is based on WebKit… but it’s Mac only. 😢
Remember, Firefox is great and has no dependency on upstream Google code.
Use Firefox.
There are a lot of game development communities there. It’s basically a cheap, more public alternative to Slack.
Ever since Reddit killed itself, the only places I really lurk are Kbin (and therefore Lemmy by proxy) and Discord. That’s pretty much it.
If only I could get wifi to work on a linux partition, it would be the perfect linux machine.
DRM ONLY ever affects paying customers, ergo DRM is always unethical malware.
Also, let’s never forget how Ghostwire Tokyo had Denuvo patched IN over a year after release.
That doesn’t work with AI for a variety of technical and practical reasons.
Two people could, completely coincidentally, generate something that is so similar that it looks the same at a glance… even with dramatically different prompts on dramatically different models.
No, the output of an AI is fundamentally “coincidental” and should not be subject to copyright. Human intent and authorship MUST be a significant factor. An artist can still use AI in their workflow, but their direct involvement and manipulation must be meaningfully “transformative” for copyright to apply in a fair and equitable way.
Agreed. I believe in a strong public domain and militantly protected fair use; AFAIC, all unaltered AI output should be considered public domain. Direct human authorship (or “substantially transformative” modification) is the benchmark for where copyright should apply.
I haven’t been back. I also blocked it on PiHole and Kagi, so they don’t even show up in my search results. Reddit is dead to me.
They absolutely should. Closed ecosystems should be illegal. They are literally an intentional form of unethical, predatory trust.
