Wow. That is a collection of footguns seeking it’s contender.

Sorry that’s spelled jardoughneigh you uncultured swine. Give back that monocle at once!

States aren’t trying to turn a profit,

Yeah they do? Or rather they still have a budget to balance and not paying social helps the balancing

Oh my god people. This is just a tongue in cheek joke about the ridiculousness of the two comments above me. The first one is either completely made up or pretty much unverifiable if true. The second one is an unreasonable request if the first comment was true because it would obviously endanger the source. It was meant as a test for whether the first comment was telling the truth but it’s completely failing at doing that.

I didn’t post anything besides a snarky comment below yours

Yes. There are a lot of protests against him. It’s just not enough.

I need names and addresses! For… Reasons unrelated to any lethal plans

Because lemmings that try doing it would be pulled in front of a judge if they went public about it afterwards. It would a) just be a single person that would b) face consequences for that action.

Israel on the other hand is a state level actor killing civilians in another jurisdiction. I know it’s just another war crime between many others at this point, but it bears noticing just how little the consequences have become

Such legislation is normally only applied above a certain threshold of either size or profits generated. This encourages making creating small communities that can organically grow up to a point where serious overview needs to happen

Also, you need to be employed in the kind of work that trumpists already associate with being done by “not their people”

Sorry how would have a GPL`d aosp helped here? Google would and could still have not published their drivers for the pixel. You’d need pixel drivers licenced by someone different from google to make them publish their changes to the drivers

The idea is: dont snatch people from the streets in unmarked vehicels while heavily armed and masked

Trying to take anything positive from this:

Maybe someone with the skills of verifying a flagged code path now doesn’t have to roam the codebase for candidates? So while they still do the tedious work of verifying, the mundane task of finding candidates is now automatic?

Not sure if this is a real world usecase…

And the world just watches. Or, more accurately, stopped watching. The conflict apparently passed our collective attention span. It’s now just part of the dystopian background imagery of the world we are living in

Hehe, I get to make a Wooooosh

But it’s also a pretty niche reference

Oh, Really?!

Maybe they are playing for gazans to finally ask for Gaza to be absorbed by Israel so they can claim it wasn’t genocide?

I mean there is extensive research on the topic of incentives and how powerful they are. But sure you can go on and believe that humans aren’t subject to being manipulated that way. Have a nice day

People following incentives blah-bkah is people being morons. See also “I was following orders” fallacy applied to army

No? It’s being smart in the system around you. It might be unethical but following the incentives is the easy and profitable option. the incentives are set by the system in which you are living. Capitalism.

Capitalism strives for something? Niice. And I thought “economic system” does not have any strivings

I’m not sure where you got this. Economic, or broader, any social system strives for some kind of goal. Otherwise society wouldn’t have implemented them. In the case of capitalism that goal is return on investments.

Anything has to be enforced because we consistently fail to produce developed and balanced humans. Whatever -ism you try to build around what kind of people we have now, it will fail. So cut the crap about capitalism already

The idea that there could be “developed and balanced” humans that would just resist the drive for profit that dominates our whole economy is just so flawed. We shouldn’t try to make humans that fit the economic model. We should try to make an economic model that fits the humans we have. And the humans we have largely follow the incentives provided by the system, no matter how unethical the outcomes might be.

It’s not people being morons it’s people following the incentives of the system and fulfilling the responsibilities given to them by the companies they work for. Both of those are directly tied to capitalism. Because those “morons” are doing what capitalism strives for: maximizing the return on invested capital.

How exactly do you think that Wikipedia page disputes that companies are incentivised to maximize profit over everything else? It clearly says that

However, the doctrine of shareholder primacy has been criticized for being at odds with corporate social responsibility and other legal obligations.

The social responsibilities have to be enforced from the outside exactly because they are “at odds” with what companies would do without that enforcement.
