A friendly reminder that socialism is not communism. The latter is closer to capitalism as it’s just state-owned instead of privately owned. However, socialism and capitalism can coexist, which cannot be said the same about communism.

Same, except I have nothing to spend. Lol
You can’t pay with it at the till, though.
I have the same reaction. Weed makes me sleepy, and the only good thing about it is some of the wildest vivid dreams I had happened right after smoking it.
A steam deck might be a cheaper alternative.
I would see this comment as silly, if not for the fact they changed the domain from .org to .com
It’s all about business now.
Every service that disabled or limited the API has seen an increase in running costs, because people turn to scraping, which costs them more resources overall, and cannot be controlled by the site owners as easily.
Let’s be honest, though, hosting text files with a search bar isn’t that much expensive to justify a response like this.
It’s fine if they want to earn money, but then they should be upfront about it, and not making up stories about fluke running costs. I’d rather see a donation button.
Opensubtitles does not create the subtitles, that’s done by the community, which is being monetised and sub authors get nothing out of it.
What are the implications in regards to the lifespan of the disk used as cache? Any potential downsides?
It is entirely plug and play.
Disk RAM
No, thanks, I’m good. I like to keep my news diet diverse, not relying on just one source of information.
Can you find me anything that’s not Iran? or a clearly propaganda piece by a known Israeli stooge?
Are you saying all three of these sources are biased and bought by the Israeli? I would believe you if you accused one source, but all three? Have you considered that perhaps it’s you who is biased?
no one in the US was cheering hamas
The articles and online footage shows otherwise.
Sure. Here are three articles covering this, from three random cities across the world.

You can find more examples on your own, or join one of the rallies and find out yourself what they’re chanting.
I don’t see anyone holding up signs celebrating those hostages.
Just before Israel’s response, people were cheering for Hamas and the killing of hostages they took during the raids. That’s not an opinion, by the way, it’s a sad fact. Situation in Gaza is complicated.
I think it’s about leaving their resources behind, like weapons, plans, and bombs. The tunnels are already collapsed due to the deep bombing, so if hamas wants to move anything, it will have to be done so in plain sight.
In Q3 of 2022 alone, Alphabet, the parent company of Google, recorded a profit (not revenue!) of 13.9 billion USD. Their financial position is more than secure.

Ads have nothing to do with democracy; they are forced upon us and serve no other purpose than to manipulate you into buying a product. That’s text-book capitalism for you.
Personally, as an open-source developer, I use crowd-funding to cover the expenses for the websites and software I provide. You will find no ads or tracking on my pages, and the same can be said for the majority of open-source projects.
The problem is rarely tied to cost; usually, it’s about greed and the never-ending chase for higher profit margins.
Mind you, I’m just a single individual with a single experience, but if I can find a way to get paid for my work without forcing people to watch the visual diarrhea, so can the giants like Google.
Ads are crappy by design. I think the spirit of the community is upheld with this post.
I did not say it was?
