It’s following the Amazon monopolization model.

Then why doesn’t Nintendo do it themselves?

It’s 507 paragraphs long and written in a mix of German and Esperanto but yeah, it’s right there! Clear as day!

Quake does.

Signal is E2EE encrypted (similar to Telegram’s secret chats but probably better) so it’s less vulnerable. If people know about it they can ask Signal to ban you, but they can’t just passively spy on everything.

That said, XMPP is better still IMO.

(Edit: centralization isn’t as big a problem as you might think with Signal. The wealthy own the whole world now. You can’t set up somewhere outside their jurisdiction, you can only stay ahead of them as they force people to stop hosting you. Sending a takedown to Signal is the same as sending it to your hosting provider, do not fool yourself. )

I am not a lawyer but as far as I know: it super isn’t. It’s also illegal for compounding pharmacies to make, where I live.

Man, in lots of places the you can’t even get the name brand so at least there’s that.

I have heard, don’t know how true it is, that hospital pharmacies have first shot at the supplies so they’re less affected by stuff like this. For what that’s worth.

It’s funny because a lot of people really like Vyvanse (that is: lisdexamphetamine) better than the alternatives. It was only made because the DEA wanted fewer people to take regular amphetamines and then a bunch of people responded well to it and the DEA went “wait! Not like that!”

Anyway, it’s on generic now. The only reason there’s a shortage is the DEA.

(Before you say “I’m not in the US and we have a shortage, too!” the drug companies killed all their production lines because the DEA basically gave them an excuse to try to force people off Vyvanse and onto meds that were still under patent.)

Incredible video.

You can fly to a developed country and still get treatment cheaper.

Yeah, one of the meds they talk about making is Vyvanse. That’s having a serious national shortage right now due to a combination of the DEA and corporate greed. It’s illegal for compounding pharmacies to make it but there’s no technical reason they couldn’t. Same for lots of this stuff.

It’s not even funding the expensive treatments, it’s not charging a 1000x markup hurting their bottom line. It’d be one thing if it were genuinely expensive medicine (i would still propose a distribution method other than “capitalism”) but it’s not.

If these meds were available for a reasonable price i don’t think we’d be seeing groups like this.

Guillotine all the CEOs and venture capitals.

If i remember correctly the justification was pretty much “trust me, bro”.

This isn’t going to make the copyright holders hate them any less.

That shouldn’t be too bad if you understand systemd though, right? Or is there something weird i’m missing? Do you have an example guide that illustrates the problem?

That really is a good piece of documentation.

No chance they get a fine that big, tbh.

You’re right and you should say it. They exist not to help the workers but to spy on them and act as enforcers for upper management.

I wish this article would have delved into the details of the system because it’s even more incoherent and insane than you think.
