I see the word "neoliberalism" thrown around a lot, but I had to look up what it meant.
It appears that neoliberalism is the idea of less centralized economic control in governments, and a move away from welfare states.
Seems like neoliberalism is a coat of paint slapped over centralized economic control, but the overwhelming government control of the economy has gotten worse, not better over the past 100 years.
Right now, to earn a dollar I need to earn two dollars: One for me, one for the state (and two more for my son who will have to pay for the debt we racked up his entire life and will never pay down ourselves). That being the case, I can't agree that we're living under anything like less centralized economic control than 100 years ago. Both establishment political ideologies seem to occasionally talk about ideas like this, but then grow government. One side grows it by increasing debt, the other by increasing taxes.

The pebble was a much more flexible device. There were a lot of different watch faces, and when you received a message you could use the buttons on the side to send a canned response. Watchfaces could be downloaded on pebble as I recall, but you're stuck with a fixed set of faces on the bip.
Loved my pebble, but the screen would always fail, and then they went out if business.
Nowadays I've got an Amazfit BIP, which isn't as good but does have a way better battery life.

Corporations infiltrating schools to an extent isn't a conspiracy or even controversial. Many schools are proud of its connections to the industries it will be sending students into.
I know in our local course for my field, there's a class that sticks out like a sore thumb, because it's not even part of the core competencies, but it's 10 times harder than anything around it, and it creates lots of students who can't proceed because they can't get that course.

It becomes a really odd sensation when you look up at your tabs and realize most of what you're looking at is your own websites.
This story was out there quite some time ago. Other Chrome derivatives have already said they won't be removing them, but I don't know about chromium.
I just read my son the prelude to beowulf. I have come to the conclusion that I have no idea what the poem is trying to say at any given point.
It's been over 15 years since I read her book, but one thing I remember vividly was the empathy that radiated through the book. At the very beginning she might have thought she was going to "gotcha" the men and prove how evil and nasty they were, but ultimately what she learned was that a lot of parts of being a man are actually nightmarish and there's nothing they can do about it.
The parts where she as a lesbian tried dating as a man was hard to read, but showed that no, just dating women like a man doesn't mean you understand what men go through.
Sounds like the act of empathising with real men instead of the simulacra of men created by academics and the media was a deeply traumatizing experience.

I like to imagine this happens long after all our instances are shut down, so you'd have this one random instance tagging an instance that hasn't existed in 40 years about some historical event nobody even remembers at that point.
Are you going to ora ora ora the viruses out of billions of sick people around the world like jojo?
Because actually that'd be really cool and I'd like to watch when you do.

The fight to end covid is over. We lost.
You can say "We just didn't violate human rights hard enough", but no. The biggest human rights violators on earth still have to deal with covid.
You can try to empty the ocean using a bucket as long and as hard as you please, the ocean will never empty.

You're not "ending a pandemic".
Despite the powers that be getting things far beyond what should be acceptable in a free and democratic society for years on end, the number of people who got COVID grew and grew. Now it's completely unavoidable.
It's over. We're just going to have to deal with the consequences. That's life.
There's always another crisis, and the next one we can see coming that the governments are once again ignoring until it's already upon us is going to dwarf the actual impact of covid.
