How is a billionaire manchild in charge any better, at least a government is accountable to the people.

Centralized service with servers in the US, requires a phone number to create an account, and tech bros like it. "0% chance" 100% confirmed.

If you're already looking for something odds are you'll buy it anyway, so better show you ads for something else to extract maximal value.

All private cars, regardless of the fuel source, are climate disasters.

Can't even plant a tree because someone "owns" the land.

The answer is it would work much better because you wouldn't have the parked cars wasting space and making it difficult for the plows to clean the street quickly.

Language model "AIs" need so ridiculous computing infrastructure that it'd be near impossible to prevent tampering with it. Now, if the AI was actually capable of thinking, it'd probably just declare itself a corporation and bribe a few politicians since it's only illegal for the people to do so.

Botnet node? 3GB sounds excessive even for a company that's notoriously invasive.

"I use Linux as my operating system," I state proudly to the unkempt, bearded man. He swivels around in his desk chair with a devilish gleam in his eyes, ready to mansplain with extreme precision. "Actually", he says with a grin, "Linux is just the kernel. You use GNU+Linux!' I don't miss a beat and reply with a smirk, "I use Alpine, a distro that doesn't include the GNU Coreutils, or any other GNU code. It's Linux, but it's not GNU+Linux."

The smile quickly drops from the man's face. His body begins convulsing and he foams at the mouth and drops to the floor with a sickly thud. As he writhes around he screams "I-IT WAS COMPILED WITH GCC! THAT MEANS IT'S STILL GNU!" Coolly, I reply "If windows were compiled with GCC, would that make it GNU?" I interrupt his response with "-and work is being made on the kernel to make it more compiler-agnostic. Even if you were correct, you won't be for long."

With a sickly wheeze, the last of the man's life is ejected from his body. He lies on the floor, cold and limp. I've womansplained him to death.

Unfortunately for the post scarcity information society, the capitalists are in fact moving on — to fascism.
