Those 15000 years were violent; death, disease and persecution were constant and everywhere. Oh and that return would reduce the population by at least ~80%. Anyone suggesting it would be good necessarily implicitly supports a global genocide.
Who do you think would suffer as a result, besides minorities and disabled people?
Why are people supporting this insane view is so strange to me. The results of no industrial revolution would be a lack of medicine and widespread famine, on a scale no place on earth has ever seen.
If you care about the health of disabled people, if you care about minorities, if you care about workers, then this view is untenable. Its one step shy of full on fascism, "final solution" style. I have more sympathy for absolute misanthropy than this; at least it's honest.
I've read about that, afaik we don't know how much of a policy it is vs. some random employee going rogue. Hopefully it all comes to light with these lawsuits
The thing is that this is in Steam's TOS when it comes to steam keys. You can sell steam keys but not at a lower price than on Steam. Which is extremely fair -- selling a steam key still means you're using Steam's infrastructure, you don't have to manage the downloads & updates. It does not apply in a situation where you manage your own store with its own infrastructure
But why would they care about supply chain attacks if they already have hacked into the package you're requesting? In that case, executing python scripts would be less noticeable
On one hand yes, on the other I'm sure we'd all have dismissed people talking about a network of pedophilia linking every important statesperson and billionaires, before all the Epstein stuff came out
It's so arbitrary that Amethyst used to be one of the most expensive precious stones, before huge mines were discovered and it lost its status
The split of semiprecious vs precious is essentially 18th century marketing BS, it's not relevant nowadays, even to jewelers.
Some of the most expensive stones aren't even part of the "precious" stones because they were discovered recently, and since the term is obsolete even to jewelers there's no one to push the term on those new gems, like Alexandrite (which is more expensive than diamond)

It would be so fun if Apple and Google decided they'd rather not have business in England anymore
I do like going shopping but that's because then I get stuff, and having new stuff is cool. But you don't need a capitalist hierarchy to make any of this happen
I don't know how true it is for where you live OP, but from my POV in western Europe, capitalism propaganda is non-stop. "Competition is good" is science, not a piece of ideology. "Billionaires are innovators" goes mostly unchallenged. "China is evil" is a fact, and when they do something good it must be because of corrupt intentions behind it all.
I agree that this constant rejection of that propaganda would be weird if you don't live 24/7 with that glazing of capitalism to begin with (which may or may not exist depending on where you live in Africa)
This is squarely to blame on capitalism.
