It’s not a legal issue. They’d just shut down any accounts doing this. They already detect and shut down account sharing and this is just a variant of that. No law or government intervention necessary.

It’s certainly breaking TOS, so the country you’re in doesn’t matter.

Every company starts out privately owned. Being publically owned means you are legally required to put shareholders’ interests first and thus essentially be purely profit and growth driven, leanding to an unsustainable cycle of infinite growth which is a major cause of the enshitification of everything as we know it today.

Private companies can at least set their own goals and do things other than chase profit. Typically, that’s either “chase profit so the owners can cash out” or “focus on providing an actually good service/product so that profit/growth will follow”.

Private Equity is probably what you’re thinking about, where a PE firm purchases a company that’s either already private or they make it private again. There are many PE firms with many different management styles and goals, but the overwhelming majority have a goal of squeezing every last penny out of a company using any means necessary and fucking over the employees as much as possible before divesting it and moving to the next one.

For context, here’s an article about another pump.fun streamer: Teen creates memecoin, dumps it, earns $50,000. Regretably, I don’t have any articles on-hand about the tens of thousands of people that are losing money to this scam.

The article says he is a pump.fun streamer. That’s not even real crypto. It’s literally a pump and dump website where anyone can make a new fake token by giving it a name and a picture. Then the price is set algorithmically until it gets enough people buying it that it converts into a real token. There are no fundamentals or differentiating factors between the tokens. It’s all a scam built upon the greater fool theory. At least different crypto currencies have different attributes and reasons to use them over others.

You wouldn’t want cold storage of any tokens on that site since they’ll be worthless the next day.

But, tbf, I don’t know if it was pump.fun slop that was stolen or a real crypto currency.

I hate this move and love my sideloaded apps. However, there are plenty of self hosted apps on the play store. It’s just putting in a unique address at setup, not compiling a whole unique app for each server.

The consequences have been apparent for nearly a decade already. Arguably longer.

Yeah, H1B people are people too. They’re capable and looking to better their lives. It’s a better deal for them to come and work in the current conditions than it is for them to stay home, otherwise they wouldn’t do it. But the problem is, they’re stuck in their jobs under threat of deportation, and companies know that treating them like shit is still better for them than going home. Companies use it as a way to extort them, pay them paltry wages, and to lower the leverage of citizens so they can pay them less too. So we either need to make the H1Bs less appealing to companies so that employing H1Bs is not preferrable employing citizens (i.e. add massive cost), or give the H1B people additional leverage so that if companies treat them like shit, they can work elsewhere.

No, you’re wrong. Every wishlist is a guaranteed sale on launch day. When people see that number tick from 0.5937.5 to 1.0, they can’t help themselves. It doesn’t matter if they wishlisted it 10 years ago and forgot the game exists. The trick is, they have to see it on launch day in an automated email. Otherwise the sale is lost for good. Literally every true gamer knows this.

They already can. How is hiring an H1B any different than outsourcing? For a higher cost, you get a local workforce in the same time zone with a higher quality of work. That’s the same proposition as hiring citizens. Sure, if H1Bs didn’t exist, or were made more equitable such that H1B workers are fairly compensated, some percentage of the current H1B jobs would be outsourced. But I bet it’d be a low percentage since that option already exists yet companies have decided that a local workforce is worth an extra cost.

They can’t make up the difference, they pay them less than $100k. This could work out if it makes hiring H1Bs more expensive than hiring citizens. After all, the reasoning behind H1Bs is that the skills are so specialized that companies can’t find citizens to fill the positions, so it’s only logical that such skill would cost a premium (it doesn’t because it’s being abused to exploit immigrants and suppress wages for everyone).

H1Bs are temporary, the workers are going back at some point. And with the job market as competitive as it is, do we really need to bring in more workers?

I’m sure this will be astonishingly poorly implemented, if it ever gets past the “say random shit to distract from other issues” phase. But the core of the idea is solid.

For those, like me, who haven’t seen these texts

Robinson: drop what you are doing, look under my keyboard.
[When the roommate looked under the keyboard, there was a note that allegedly read: “I had the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and I’m going to take it.”]

Roommate: "What??? You’re joking, right???
Robinson: I am still ok my love, but am stuck in orem for a little while longer yet. Shouldn’t be long until I can come home, but I gotta grab my rifle still. To be honest I had hoped to keep this secret till I died of old age. I am sorry to involve you.

Roommate: you weren’t the one who did it right???

Robinson: I am, I’m sorry

Roommate: I thought they caught the person?

Robinson: no, they grabbed some crazy old dude, then interrogated someone in similar clothing. I had planned to grab my rifle from my drop point shortly after, but most of that side of town got locked down. Its quiet, almost enough to get out, but theres one vehicle lingering.

Roommate: Why?

Robinson: Why did I do it?

Roommate: Yeah

Robinson: I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can’t be negotiated out.

Robinson: If I am able to grab my rifle unseen, I will have left no evidence. Going to attempt to retrieve it again, hopefully they have moved on. I haven’t seen anything about them finding it.

Roommate: How long have you been planning this?

Robinson: a bit over a week I believe. I can get close to it but there is a squad car parked right by it. I think they already swept that spot, but I don’t wanna chance it

Robinson: I’m wishing I had circled back and grabbed it as soon as I got to my vehicle… I’m worried what my old man would do if I didn’t bring back grandpas rifle … idek if it had a serial number, but it wouldn’t trace to me. I worry about prints I had to leave it in a bush where I changed outfits. didn’t have the ability or time to bring it with… I might have to abandon it and hope they don’t find prints. how the [expletive] will I explain losing it to my old man…

only thing I left was the rifle wrapped in a towel…

remember how I was engraving bullets? The [expletive] messages are mostly a big meme, if I see “notices bulge uwu” on fox new I might have a stroke alright im gonna have to leave it, that really [expletive] sucks… judging from today I’d say grandpas gun does just fine idk. I think that was a $2k scope;-;

Robinson: delete this exchange

Robinson: my dad wants photos of the rifle … he says grandpa wants to know who has what, the feds released a photo of the rifle, and it is very unique. Hes calling me rn, not answering.

Robinson: since trump got into office [my dad] has been pretty diehard maga.

Robinson: Im gonna turn myself in willingly, one of my neighbors here is a deputy for the sheriff.

Robinson: you are all I worry about love

Roommate: I’m much more worried about you

Robinson: don’t talk to the media please. don’t take any interviews or make any comments. … if any police ask you questions ask for a lawyer and stay silent
