No we don't, we have 400+ years of capitalist history to tell us what comes next; Oligarchy, neo-feudalism...

People: Cory Doctorow didn't invent this concept. Read a book.

It will end up being like FreeVee on Prime for anyone who's ever watched a movie or anything on there. They straight up randomly just inject ads in at random times, often not even during scene breaks. Characters are sometimes mid-sentence... Oh, and we're back to the volume of the ads being 2x louder than the movie itself because I guess that law Congress passed way back in the day only applied to cable and broadcast TV.

It makes it nearly unwatchable. So get ready for that experience.

Oh great. Can't wait for Sony or something to come in and completely ruin the IP with a movie or some shit.

Man, the way that headline begins, I thought he had died.

On a macabre, but related, note: how long after Gabe's death before Steam goes public and turns to shit? I'd give it 6 months.

Does the bird one actually work? Nature can get pretty loud, I could see that being an issue.

I don't know what it is you want to distribute, but if it is newsworthy or political in nature, I think most media outlets (like "legit" ones like WaPo, NYT, etc.) have ways of contacting them through Tor for situations where the person with the information might have legitimate fears for their safety (e.g. whistleblowers).

But that's really only for a certain type of "post."

I've just seen it as more projection on their part.

Because there is a mind-virus that's been infecting our political discourse, but it's not what they're referring to.

Damn, what a slick move.

I'm far from rich, and have ~$40k left in student loans that I've been paying off for nearly a decade now, so trust me it's not about not considering price. That completely misses the point I was making.

Finances are one consideration, not the only consideration.

Maybe if you view everything in your life as a transaction or a zero-sum game, and put no value in education or knowledge.
