meanwhile in other countries:

"could lead to their dismissal, assured Zamora, and possible prison time"

and:

"following a complaint from the Police itself, the agents were detained"

my citing is a bit misleading, and you have to read it completely yourself, but overall it looks very different there.

maybe the root-cause is less the publicly-traded part but rather the total lack of any consequences?

but yes i totally agree, any company publicly traded will get a payed-for-CEO after a while and latest at that point is where no problems are resolved any more, but instead are IMHO always created on purpose.

Having subscriptions for hardware

actually how i understand that model, the subscription would not be for the "hardware" (which you would still have to 'buy' and pay for all of its repairs by yourself) but only for the software which would actually block you from using your own hardware if you stop paying the then-later-by-them-to-be-definded-price for the 'licence' to use that software, rendering the hardware a useless piece of junkscrap whenever and as long as they whish or their cloud runs on MShitsoft or is maybe ClownStricken, MacAfff'ed, CEO'ed, CTO'ed, Shareholder'ed or such).

That f*up-idea is afaik explicitly NOT a renting model for hardware where they'ld had to make sure that it actually works before you have to pay the rent, but only a licensing software for that only software that is vendor-locked-in on that vendor-poisoned hardware.

As i know myself, i guess i'll discontinue to buy or suggest any of their stuff for a few decades from now, for that "idea" only.

Have a nice(r) day without logitech!

[…] reCAPTCHA […] isn’t to detect bots. It is more of stopping automated requests […]

which is bots. bots do automated requests and every automated request doer can also be called a bot (i.e. web crawlers are called bots too and -if kind- also respect robots.txt which has "bots" in its name for this very reason and bots is the shortcut for robots) use of different words does not change reality behind it, but may add a fact of someone trying something on the other.

isn't even trying to keep an innocent behind bars already a type of kidnapping attempt and every second of delay that it caused an actual act of kidnapping?

woman would take care for a literal horse instead of going to therapy. i don't see anything wrong there either.

just a horse is way more expensive, cannot be put aside for a week on vacations (could a notebook be put aside?) and one cannot make backups of horses or carry them with you when visiting friends. Horses are way more cute, though.

I see the simpleness in the argument.

yet not building something because its products cannot be sold overpriced is a rule in cap, not a problem in soc.

However here's a map for you to view the "success" rate of pumping more and more:

https://www.americangeosciences.org/critical-issues/maps/groundwater-depletion-map-united-states

and "measurements are in cubic kilometers"

lately i saw a documentation about farmers in the us. poor people, literally loosing everything build up for many generations only due to the groundwater abuse. and no, digging deeper wells is not "always" an option, it stops serving, when there is no groundwater any more (surprise!). and the rain does not fill it up again as fast as it is pumped out for profit. and in the end, the only "profit" you get literally is dust in the wind. what a gain!

well ("well", what a word joke here) now i just guess you got the order and texts of the pictures in the meme a "slight" bit wrong.

yeah, thats exactly what i am saying, most of the money ever printed sits in places it will never leave, so IMO there are no 5trillion available on the market and the cash flow does not allow to take out even a "little" bit (speaking in 1e12 terms) before things collapse for the majority.

oh yes, printing money works exactly like that, it was just printed in the past and nowadays they just increase numbers in databases: plopp and the value of that currency and especially everything that is bound to it decreases, ripping you of what you have saved without even touching your bank account.

Don't they have laws to protect the population from free walking murder suspects?

Sorry for who has to live there.

maybe they really and ultimately narrowed it down to "gone".

also they ruled out:

  • up or down
  • sideways
  • back or forth in time
  • with the wind
  • hiding
  • just vanishing
  • gone for good
  • gone for a walk
  • other realities / timelines / simulations (maybe recovery from backup is still possible)

...

UPDATE-edit: damn i forgot Schroedingers quantum gone paradoxon: He decides where he was only in that very moment when they actually find him.
