If your rhetoric just makes it sound like you only want to change who the protected oppressing class is, and who to victimize, then firstly you're pushing away everyone that isn't part of it, but secondly you demonstrate that you clearly missed the nature of the problem.

"Catchy slogans" are not a good excuse. (I hate slogans in general, they're rife with this kind of hypocritical nonsense.)

That's a nuance many fail to grasp and obviously adversaries exploit this.

@a1ba They of course failed to fix tab indentation with proportional fonts in all relevant editors, so the argument remained.

@icedquinn @munin Coordination cost/complexity and opportunity cost can easily serve as a delimitation, if one doesn't just consider consequentialist ethics before setting off on omnicide (they have a lot of issues, but even then they would serve to show it doesn't work; that regardless of the possibly unacceptable ethical cost of the action itself, the result is a failure anyway).

Everything is related, true. That means very little without any understanding of practical system interactions.

@icedquinn @munin

project it too far and you're benefitting from various crimes and evils right now.

I've certainly called for the cessation of a lot of that (entirely or in favor of ethical alternatives, depending on the specific ones). Unfortunately the only way to get anything remotely resembling a real vote for someone of my "status" is direct action and naturally things are designed to make that as impractical as possible.

there's a reason shiva destroying the universe in a fit of declaring ever more things corrupt is a story of warning.

An infinite negative doesn't make a positive. It's a silly comparison.

Made all the worse by such an entity most likely having the capacity to meaningfully act to fix things (or nurture an ecosystem that would lead to such results) instead.

@icedquinn @munin I mostly mean fuck the shareholders.

The primary stakeholders that matter are the employees and the public.

If the employees are widely abused and the public suffers, there is no reason not to kill the corp.

@dalias @beyondmachines1 Or really, why does the browser default to giving permissions for those APIs?

It's an online store, it doesn't need any audio permissions.

@dalias @georgebaily @VeroniqueB99 Stuff like moisture sensors and inverter microwaves (this allows it to actually reduce the power intensity, instead of just pausing every 10 seconds or something) tend to be on the fancier microwave ovens as quite useful features, but most such things have "smart" variants which are the ones that get put on the floors (one can still readily order the good one online or sometimes by phone, though).

The trashy timer-based 60s-ish ones have a much harder time doing some more finicky things like thawing bread without also cooking it.
