Yeah, you don’t get ‘hard-coded credentials’ from some bug. This had to be intentional.

Honestly, fuck profit-seeking behavior in general and especially with insurance.
Finding perverse intensives in a profit-driven enterprise is a function of how hard you look and what industry. Some industries it’s plainly obvious (insurance) and with all industries a sufficiently good look will find something.
There’s a lot of things that in a non-dystopia would be good and correct that they are available… however that is precisely what we have, happy to twist and distort absolutely everything until regardless of the intention it is some form of cruelty. Then atop it all we’ve the final insult to our intelligence that somehow we’re the “unreasonable” ones or that we’re meant to find the inane position of meeting the advocates for dystopia halfway reasonable.
Only unrealistic part is Human sniper and the warning.
It’ll be a drone the moment a drone could make the shot with 50.1% odds. can make the shot in sufficiently few shots that cost of ammo & electricity beats wages for a sniper.
Honestly, at this point the only China/USSR bad talking pointthat comes to mind that I haven’t also found in the USA is bread lines… in no small part because the government here doesn’t care if you starve. If you want help jump through the hoops and be used as part of scarry statistics to demonize the poor.
That’s because the whole of the country is one big, bad, joke punching down on all life on this planet.
Personal Property* Common mistake but the belongings of an individual aren’t private property unless they’re involved with the creation of profit for them. This distinction is important because the American Dystopia cares about Private Property, but only feigns concern over personal property.
Thanks. That’s unfortunate. Not sure which to go with, I’m kind-of set up. Got communities for most of what I used Reddit for and the remainder I’m not sure if an appropriate Lemmy community has been made yet.
Alright. Thanks for letting me know 'bout Photon as well.
The EXCLUSIVE matter of concern for all private enterprises is profit. Whatever it is that they do is at-best secondary to that goal and more likely tertiary behind not being successfully sued for their practices or even quaternary behind that and excluding meaningful competition/having control over the industry.
This is still late-stage capitalism. Capitalism has persisted in opposition to effectively all Human well-being for centuries, since at-least the 1700s. So, it was still very much Late-Stage Capitalism in the 1940s. That we have yet to put this vile system out of all our misery yet doesn’t modify which stage it’s been stuck in for X period of time.
Further it’s been Imperialism in the Colonial or Neo-Colonial style for how long now? Four centuries? Five?
Wonder if the buffoon is doing it because somebody made the “King of Twits” or similar comment to Elon directly and loudly enough he couldn’t ignore it.
I am American. If you’re in the age range and male you’ll get phone calls harassing you to join periodically. The adds are also everywhere… however in the modern age of targeted advertising that might just be because of being the target demographic for military recruiting.
Is anyone even remotely surprised? I’m just waiting for pace-makers to be a subscription service.
Is any better to be expected from the king of twits?
If it weren’t for the blackout I:
1: Never would’ve heard of Lemmy
2: Likely not have tried it
3: Wouldn’t have had the inclination to stick around and learn
4: Started to like how Lemmy is laid out.
This is one of the extremely few cases where I’m not sure if it’s Capitalism made it worse or there was just always some proportion of parents who were thing abhorrent.
