Here’s a crazy idea to make your population grow: how about not sending your people to die in a war?

The fun thing most of these games aren’t even truly capitalist. City builders like Cities Skylines, Tropico and Anno have little or no free market and you’re just in control of a centralized planned economy.

The only truly capitalist games I saw on that list are X4 and Offworld Trading Company since you play as a single private owner competing with others on the market.

Top 10 on the leaderboard get boosted in job searches.

But in all seriousness, this is why searching continuous growth ruins products. LinkedIn had a decent thing going as a job board a few years ago. Instead of focusing on that experience (which is still surprisingly underdeveloped) it added all this useless shit and became a Facebook with a paper thin mask of professionalism. It is now a place used mostly to spread toxic corporate culture and I dread its logo any time I open it to search for a job.

I really wish LinkedIn would add an anonymous cringe emoji. I would use it on like 90% of the content on that site.

Wow, so this guy sabotaged a community of almost 5 years in just a few weeks because he couldn’t understand how financials work. And has now left it open with a big “Scam warning” at the top, that will damage the reputation of the entire project.

Maybe he should pass it on to someone else instead of acting like an overgrown child throwing a tantrum.

It’s great to see the majority of workers paying for the mistakes of that big pricing fuckup that was approved by a minority of people in power. Just a normal day for capitalism, nothing to see here.

Of course the community driven, anarchic nature of Wikipedia is a threat to the status quo of capitalists dominating society. Musk can’t stand this, because it shows how ultra wealthy, incompetent dicktators like him are unnecessary.

Didn’t Epic lose the fight against Apple? How is Google more of a monopoly than Apple? It is incredibly easy to sideload apps on Android compared to iPhones, and there are multiple dedicated unofficial stores. These verdicts are not coherent at all between them. I understand they are two separate judges, but the law should be the same for all, not at the interpretation of whichever judge you get.

Edit: for future reference, Verge answers this very question here https://www.theverge.com/24003500/epic-v-google-loss-apple-win-fortnite-trial-monopoly
