If their winning position was truly "top dog" they wouldn't be shivering, shaking and pissing themselves begging for people to purchase their crap using insane lines like "The more you buy the more you save."

This is total and complete panic.

Nvidia has pissed off the pc gaming industry, which is why their focus has shifted to the server markets.

Now in the server markets they're not top dog, so they want to straddle the fence.

This divided focus will be their undoing.

Cows are angry little vengeance creatures.

They know, and they want retribution.

Make it deceptively easy to read.

It appears easy to read in a review of the code, but upon any further glance, to actually keep it up, the only one who can understand it is you.

A bad standard adds to the pile.

A good standard crushes the pile.

Example: Git and Linux.

Proof: what are the other source management softwares? (Don’t mention Mercurial, that’s cheating).

Also for Linux, it’s down to the license and history. Linux isn’t a bad investment because all commits directly to the kernel are given freely to all. And it’s not Unix. It doesn’t have the stain of AT&T and their sue happy ways. Also Linux dominates all computer markets except for user desktops. Servers, phones, application specific utilities, etc.

I do post, but the last time I posted a lot I was told I was spamming. I posted 10 different memes in one day.

When you shop at big box stores, the money leaves the community and goes to the wealthy 0.01%ers.

But the evil of their methods is that typically once they move in there's literally no other options left. Everything else either goes out of business or your wages drop so low you can't afford anything else.

These are a blight on American society.

These types of stores didn't used to be possible for various reasons. But removal of anti-trust regulations and a focus on car-centrism have enabled this hellish combo of monopolistic box stores that can pop up, kill the competition and leave a wasteland behind in which it is both financially and legally impossible for the local population to bring back local stores.

Local stores tend to be in the older town areas where dense-buildings were once legal, and are grandfathered in. These get bought up and flattened and replaced with a mcdonalds or a gas station while the walmartification is in full swing. Then once walmart implodes there because no one can afford it anymore, walmart closes and the other chains close as well. No one can afford to replace walmart or the gas stations at scale for the obnoxious amount of land they use, but they also can't replace them with more dense buildings because its literally illegal.

Granting fascists access to other fascists to become super fascist groups is the most dangerous part of social media.

Given that most of the main social media platforms now are owned by capitalist fascist dickheads, its only going to get worse.

If social networking like Lemmy or Mastodon were more mainstream, we could just name, shame and isolate these monsters. If they can't interact with people outside of their group without getting instanbanned or insta-defederated, then they'll either delve deeper and deeper into their nonsense, until their instances gets raided or they'll venture out of their alt-right safe-haven and get hit with reality and rejoin society.

See I was thinking the same thing. But if I may interject for just a moment, what you're referring to as Stamp Collecting, is in fact, GNU/Stamp Collecting, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Stamp Collecting.
