Except time is not “free”. When someone says they can’t afford hanging out they usually mean they don’t have time, not that they don’t have petty cash to spend on a weekend.

Beeware!

Toga is a blessing. You can make apps for Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, Linux and Web - all with the same codebase!

And that should matter to a gamer why?

A small British trade union vs a 1.5 Trillion dollar American corporation?

LOL, good luck

• Whatsapp has end-to-end encryption enabled by default on chats, along with disappearing messages. You’re good staying on it for now.
• Proton
• You’re on it right now
• Orion (by Kagi) is available on Apple devices - I am not on them so haven’t used it, but seems really cool
• Bitwarden, or I guess Apple’s native password manager if you’re already using iCloud
• Simple Notes

Sure, not questioning your intentions. But I’ll personally still be wary until I see an official addition of the mirror on current zlib sites.

Fair enough.

No updates on z-library’s official reddit on this domain. Also it looks different side-by-side against the original site. Take this with a grain of salt.

Investors put money on ventures and industries precisely to build wealth. If they are to be forced to divest at any point, they won’t be interested in investing at all. Credit will dry up, overall liquidity will fall. Recession.

It won’t be just a “drop in GDP”. It will be investments falling apart, industries closing down, credit getting scarce, unemployment, misery, destitution and death.

Money is a very real driver of the world. It is also the realest manifestation of wealth. Only a fool would call it an abstraction.

Lots of big words but nothing of value. Answer the question buddy, how will you tax people on money they don’t have?

Are luxury items not already taxed more? AFAIK they are in most countries.

Or hell, just make them sell their stocks and pay tax for unrealized profits for anyone above like “x” millions.

That will tank the share market, close down industries and cause even more unemployment and widespread misery.

Beautiful, thank you so much!

I never understood what you guys mean when you say they should be taxed more. Like… they are taxed for their income under the same laws you are?

Billionaires are not literally sitting atop a pile of a billion dollars in cash. Their “wealth” is unrealised, which means it’s the net worth of assets that they haven’t cashed in. In most cases they can’t cash in their wealth in even if they wanted. How will you tax them on money they just don’t have?

…Jesus f*kin Christ. What the actual fuck

After his master Musk’s tirade on Xitter explicitly supporting H1Bs and shitting on the slightest criticism? I highly doubt it.

There won’t be a “Trump H1B crackdown”. The oligarch masters love their cheap imported labor a bit too much.

I don’t use Brave but honestly there aren’t many options left. I can’t wish for Orion to launch any sooner.

Sad to hear. India desperately needs industry; unemployment in the country is so extremely overwhelming it will have adverse effects on the whole world in many ways if not contained.

The article mostly blames red tape and bureaucracy - while I’m sure it’s a problem I highly doubt it’s the root cause. The root cause is just that investments everywhere are broadly down in general; there’s too much uncertainty in the current world to incite investor confidence.
