The push to raise the minimum wage is relentless. For a while, it was "Fight for $15," but with rampant price inflation, a $15 an hour minimum wage isn't sufficient. Now it's "Fight for $20."

Is there a single person (contemporary or historical) that this guy DOESN'T think is/was a fraud.

Mises explains how price controls lead to socialism.

"It is, of course, true that this type of socialism preserves some of the labels and the outward appearance of capitalism ... however, nothing counts but the government’s unrestricted autocracy."

@Spingebill Apparently, it's caused by weak links in the visual part of the brain making it difficult to process symbols, but that doesn't make sense to me because wouldn't that cause your entire vision to be distorted?

is Dyslexia an actual thing or is it another one of those psyop disabilities that people thought they had because of Disney Channel and Percy Jackson

@feld @mint @vhns I don't think Nintendo has ever released any source code for anything outside of some experimental operating system they made back in the mid 2000s.

@beardalaxy Given how dreams often have distorted and inconsistent visuals. I think AI pictures and videos will always look dream-like at best.

@PurpCat @WandererUber @neo Are there examples of other companies doing this besides IBM because there is literally no point in going after employees doing personal projects unless the project in question is in competition with your product (e.g working on ReactOS while working for Microsoft).

@feld @mint @vhns I know Sony gave back some code after using BSD for their PlayStation operating systems.

@Giganova8 @PurpCat They've been around longer than you think. Old PC games had mods sold in retail in the form of "unofficial expansion packs".

@Giganova8 given what momo did with BOIII it's safe to say that cod modders are really fucking retarded.

(Context: he patreon paywalled his mod, then when his other project got a C&D he did a "if I can't have it nobody can" and took it down, with a nasty license that's proprietary as all fuck and anyone forking his code being met with him chimping out and threatening legal action).

In other words many of them (not all) deserve to end up like SNES emulator developers.
