When someone will embrace anything to harm you, you have to be prepared to weaponize the same things.

Democracy is dying anyway. It's not sustainable anymore. Enjoy the ride and wait and see if there's any opportunity for you.

It's not possible for the simple minds of peon workers. For ubermensch executives it's well within their ability.

That was just a propaganda piece from big theft.

Have you tried asking the CIA?

> Since removing the office from my life, I think I spend more time at home and more time in social spaces.

Same here, I got out a lot more when I was WFH, even when I was hybrid, I would get out even on weekday afternoons/evenings and socialize a bit.

But we were just dragged in office full time again, and it's once again rare for my to step outside after work. Now I'm more likely to be mental exhausted and spend my time napping, and consuming low energy entertaining before the next day.

The data hoarders are just a greedy sometimes. I can across a story of some lost media the other day, that supposedly had at least one physical copy remain, but no copies would be made, so that the holder could jack the price up on ebay.

I just wish it was easier to browse. Maybe it's just me, but I find navigating to what I'm looking for on their site painful every time I try.

I saw an HN thread a while back where someone recommended a comprehensive book on some networking subject. I'm sure it was a good book, I was floored when I saw physical copies being sold fucking $700.

Unfortunately, a lot of the technical books I wish to read fall into this grift of academic texts.

Maybe try starting a cult instead of a company, you'll find more idiots willing to be true believers in whatever bullshit you've cooked up.
