„Nejnovější index zveřejněný časopisem The Economist řadí Českou republiku na druhé místo na světě, hned za Rusko, v podílu klientelistického kapitalismu na HDP země. Ten v Rusku činí 19 procent HDP, u nás 15 procent. Jde o hodnotu majetku miliardářů, kteří ke svému majetku přišli především zásluhou přátelských vztahů se státem.“ https://denikreferendum.cz/clanek/35207-proc-je-ceska-republika-druha-na-svete-v-klientelistickem-kapitalismu

👀 #TIL Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
One was called "Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.
Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased the "Prosperity" rules and celebrated "Monopoly".

“People who criticize new technologies are sometimes called Luddites, but it’s helpful to clarify what the Luddites actually wanted. The main thing they were protesting was the fact that their wages were falling at the same time that factory owners’ profits were increasing, along with food prices. They were also protesting unsafe working conditions, the use of child labor, and the sale of shoddy goods that discredited the entire textile industry. The Luddites did not indiscriminately destroy machines; if a machine’s owner paid his workers well, they left it alone. The Luddites were not anti-technology; what they wanted was economic justice. They destroyed machinery as a way to get factory owners’ attention. The fact that the word #Luddite is now used as an insult, a way of calling someone irrational and ignorant, is a result of a smear campaign by the forces of capital.”

Ted Chiang in the New Yorker.

Stop anthropomorphizing billionaires.

I found out that you can get some games delisted from Steam if they were free when they got removed.

For this go to Steam Support, down on the page search for the game name, click on it, and then on install.

This will add the game to your library.

You can find stuff like Blade Runner 9732 [VR and non-VR] fan project, and Golden Axed, a canceled Golden Axe project by SEGA that was available to get just for one day.

Let me know if you get other games there.

First #RaspberryPi earned a shitstorm by hiring an ex-cop specialized in hidden surveillance.

Now they accept an investment by Sony for their propr. AI engine to be included in the next Pi. Which "only sends metadata to the cloud".

Edit 2024: They went IPO.

Still my most favourite workchronicles cartoon. Solving problems before they grew bigger and escalate isn't very flashy and won't give any attention. No one talks about or sees these people.

rano se probudim a uz to v posteli nemuzu vydrzet, tak vstanu
a od te doby se vpodstate jenom hodne slozitym a namahavym zpusobem vracim cely den zase zpatky do postele
