This sounds awful. Software companies have maxed out all the subscription money they can squeeze out of their customers. But sometimes their customers make a profit anyway, an now the tech companies want a share of that too. FYI, Oracle has been doing that for years. The answer to the question of what does it cost is "dunno, how much do you have?"

    AI agents can trivially send email. I don't know what the solution is, other than to disallow submissions from people who already have a good reputation with the project. Even that's not a good solution, because there really isn't a way to get a reputation that is open to humans, but can't be easily gamed by bots.

    That's what you're saying but it's not born out by what's being seen with used EVs (other than the early Leafs). Used cars are perfectly usable after 10 years. The main problem with the used market is that there just weren't that many EVs on the road 10 years ago, less than 1% of the market.

    So here is another question, so when you say liberals in Oman and the US are a subset of the same thing

    The thing I've noticed about the most vocal leftists here is that they all subscribe to the "spheres of influence" idea, where countries essentially belong to the great power whose sphere they exist in. Such countries (and the people within them) don't have any agency or rights except as afforded by their great power masters. As such, Oman doesn't matter or even really exist.
