@puniko None of these companies give a shit about carbon emissions anyways, if it wasnt because of environmental laws there would be 0 renewable energy. The only reason they do this is marketing, to pretend they care.
- Project starts under a GPL license - Project becomes successful - As it becomes successful, more people contributes to it - After a couple years, the lead of the project changes the license - Now it's proprietary - People gets mad and sues the lead for violating the GPL - People starts forking the project, but who is going to maintain and update it?
Every fucking time. Good speed Duckstation. You weren't good. You were the best...
Stricter border controls won't solve terrorism though. The far right argues that every immigrant is a terrorist and blames terror attacks on all immigrants. This is a generalization bias and it's a fallacy. There is only one every tens of thousands that is radicalized in a way they want to commit a terror attack.
The problem is that even if you were to send back all immigrants, statistically there would still be terror attacks. Because there is still people who is actually being radicalized inside of their territories. Even locals can fall for it.
Unfortunately, there is no way to reduce the amount of felonies to 0. You can become the most tyrant dictator ever and there would be still people committing crimes. It happen everywhere. Even in Spain with Franco. ETA was already bombing cars when Franco was ruling, refuting the conservative argument that with Franco everything was safer or better.
The decision of stricter border control shows how weak the German government is, as they are now yielding to the far-right conservative rhetoric of "immigrants bad", and receding years in humans right, just because they are now in fear of the far-right winning.
To this I say that this is their fault for not teaching people to think, and use scholar institutions to create mindless workers that now fall prey to the far-right rhetoric.
The real problem is not a border problem by itself either. The real problem is when tens or even hundreds of thousands of immigrants flock to the same place, all at once. And unfortunately, stricter borders regulations won't solve that.
But if making the life of the European citizens who want to move for legitimate causes is what you truly want, then yes. Make stricter borders a thing. It's not going to solve the immigration problem (the real one), it's not going to solve terrorism, it's not going to calm the far-right either (they don't care about border control, they just want all immigrants out of their country), and it's going to suppose a problem for the European citizens in general.
Americans don't realize that reward programs are a scam.
They tell you that you earn points for your purchase, and at some point you might "earn" a "free" product or a discount or something like that.
The truth is, they rise the prices for a specific margin to compensate for that. You are essentially paying for that "free" product or discount, you just don't know it.
That's also a part of why prices are so bloated nowadays, among many other things.
And if you are paying more for a product to allocate a margin for that free product, then you might as well buy more and get the free one to recover part of your investment, right?
That's what a "fidelity" program is. It's not a reward, it's a money cult. You either pay extra for nothing or buy a lot and get a little bit in return.
