Funny how HN is so ideologically captured that they always assume authoritarian and fascist policies only come from the right and the left is alwasys the pure and righteous.
HM is distinctly more conservative than most other places online at least in my experience. Excluding the fascists safe spaces.
At the moment, the right is what is pushing for authoritarianism in most western countries. And fascism is conservative in nature and not progressive. All fascist policies are by definition right wing but not all authoritarian policies are fascist.
And if anything HN is really good at being weirdly against bread and butter social democratic policies. It’s an American website after all. I don’t think you could ever get away with discussing far left libertarian ideas on HN.
>HM is distinctly more conservative than most other places online at least in my experience.
HN is the place of champagne socialists. They're on the side of making money with their actions but liberal with their voice at least they pretend to.
>Excluding the fascists safe spaces.
Define fascist safe spaces. Define fascism.
>fascism is conservative in nature and not progressive
Is it progressive to burn down Teslas and throw rocks at police doing their jobs and voice call to violence against certain races, religions of people or based on their political beliefs?
>I don’t think you could ever get away with discussing far left libertarian ideas on HN.
No but that’s also not fascist. It’s extremist and violent and a misguided urge to fight fascism by destroying its symbols (a Tesla which might as well be an attempt by some upper middle class dad to buy a car that’s better for the environment before Musk became such a PoS) or fighting the people that uphold the system (which is a bit much in the current climate. At least here in Germany I don’t see the police in this role yet).
Also, keep in mind that if left extremists become violent, cars burn and police in riot gear are attacked. If fascists become violent people are burning and the police is looking the other way. Even though I and any sane person should condemn violent behavior, I vehemently do not agree with the horse shoe theory that the more extreme you go the more left and right becomes the same.
Fascist safe spaces is certainly something like X these days and what’s that other thing called? Truth social? I also wouldn’t expect any sensible discussions on right wing news websites like breitbart if that’s still around.
Even if you were a local, you'd have to be "in the network" so to speak. Then you could push a meme project with some buzzwords that align with their political views and you would be allowed to dip in. Additionally, the EU is maliciously anti-wealth, even if you fund it yourself, they will actively cripple you with nonsensical regulations and taxes to make sure your company does not take off.

I'm a little cynical about this. Apparently EU has lots of wealthy people and they get to keep their wealth for generations. It's just that we don't necessarily even know who they are or how they keep generating wealth. Per Taleb in his book Skin in the Game:
"Consider that about ten percent of Americans will spend at least a year in the top one percent and more than half of all Americans will spent a year in the top ten percent[1]. This is visibly not the same for the more static –but nominally more equal –Europe. For instance, only ten percent of the wealthiest five hundred American people or dynasties were so thirty years ago; more than sixty percent of those on the French list were heirs and a third of the richest Europeans were the richest centuries ago. In Florence, it was just revealed that things are really even worse: the same handful of families have kept the wealth for five centuries.[iii]"
[1] 39% of Americans will spend a year in the top 5 % of the income distribution, 56 % will find themselves in the top 10%, and 73% percent will spend a year in the top 20 %.
[2] The type of distributions –called fat tails –associated with it made the analyses more delicate, far more delicate and it had become my mathematical specialty. In Mediocristan changes over time are the result of the collective contributions of the center, the middle. In Extremistan these changes come from the tails. Sorry, if you don’t like it but that is purely mathematical.
Both Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects are buggy, unreasonably slow and very, VERY quirky pieces of software. I switched to Davinci Resolve a few years ago and my work output skyrocketed almost overnight, but while the performance it offers is something adobe engineers can only dream of, it still lacks certain features some pros need, so they remain trapped in the adobe/avid gulags.
I doubt most of the savings are passed on to the consumer. Companies will typically charge consumers as much as they can get away with no matter what their costs are and will happily poison people with shitty contaminated fruit if the lower costs mean they can stuff their pockets with more money while continuing to keep consumer prices as high as possible.
Always has been. Even with all the safeguards, two days ago I was having a conversation with it and it just happily blurted out that one of the reasons Iceland has low crime is because its population is racially homogeneous.
