No. State capitalism is fascism.
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.

What do you mean, it's clearly a goverment officer, it says it right there on the ground!
🤦♂️
He's been snorting ketamine again, hasn't he..?
What could go wrong?
Seeing how Microsoft (and Windows 11 in particular) is doing lately, and how practically every single Windows update is breaking something important, a lot.
We've already got one vibe coded Windows. We don't need another one.
always lonely
I don't know, some rodents seem to make it work. Naked mole rats, beavers, prairie dogs... (I wouldn't include herd animals, though; sure, they're always surrounded by others, but there's no sense of community, it's always everyone for themselves, and screw whoever's slowest... perfect example of being alone in a multitude)
Not that I recall, no.
My first one was a 65MB (or was it 85MB?) 3.5'' parallel ATA one, and while the enclosure might have been shaped around the platter(s?) (could have been a later one, though) I don't recall the motor being distinguishable.
Whole machine (my first PC proper) was a 286, 16MHz with turbo on, possibly 1024KB of RAM (I recall setting up autoexec.bat to ask me if I needed extended or expanded memory on boot, but could've been in a later machine; pretty certain the memory was on socketed DIPs on the mainboard, not SIMMs, in any case, so it can't have been much, and 640KB was supposed to be enough, anyway), CGA, 5.25'' and possibly 3.5'' floppy drive, DOS... 4.something, I believe.
Good times.
Nero burning ROM.
Meh, burning CDs... ever had to worry whether you'd parked your hard drive's heads before moving it, child..?
(To be fair, neither did I, probably; my earliest hard drive was already IDE, I believe, and those seem to have already had autopark, but the old lore was that you parked your hard drives before moving them, or the heads would scratch the surface, so park them we did.)
If you held them by a side and shaked them, they were definitely floppy.
If I understand it correctly, they're arguing that any unauthorized "modification of the computer program" (i.e. the web page) is a copyright violation.
This wouldn't only affect adblockers... this would affect any browser feature, extension, or user script that modifies the page in any way, shape, or form... translators, easy reading modes, CSS modifiers (e.g., dark mode for pages that don't have it, or anything that improves readability for people with vision problems), probably screen readers...
This would essentially turn web browsers into the HTML equivalent of PDF readers, without any of the customisability that's been standard for decades...
It's the only viable option given how much we've fucked the planet up.
Stopping (not reducing) emissions won't stop already ongoing feedback loops, it'll just prevent going full Venus.
If human civilization simply ceased to exist it'd still take millions of years for temperatures to go back to pre-human levels.
Sequestering enough carbon or increasing albedo don't seem like feasible options.
We need to put a shade between Earth and the Sun, it's the only option that seems possible before we collapse, and it would achieve immediate results (of course it'd also give companies an excuse to keep pumping carbon into the atmosphere, since the problem would be “solved”, so we'd be back on track for Venus style runaway greenhouse effect in one or two decades).
We're 100% fucked.
