I guess it depends on the cartel’s focus. Are they a drug cartel?

• The Black Orchard — growers, & brewers.

• The Phantom Crucible — they use experimental chemistry to make their product.

A price cartel (where they fix prices)? They would be focused on money.

• The Thorned Veil — a cartel that hides behind beauty, elegance, and deception.

• The Broken Halo Network — fallen idealists turned organized criminals.

A territorial cartel (where they have regions)? If you do “business” in another region, it might be your last “transaction”.

• The Crimson Ledger — every wrong and debt is written in blood.

• The Ashen Wolves — enforcers who leave nothing but ashes of trespassers (or their buildings if they set up shop in the wrong place).

To hurry or leave.

But my mental picture is a donkey in a trailer…

Why don’t we take care of each other as decent people? Why do we have to decide who is more worthy? We have too many money-grubbing billionaires. Maybe if we watched out for each other, we wouldn’t have to worry about what the other guy is doing.

Maybe it wouldn’t work, but it would be nice to try. Look what happened in 1914:

OK, so from what I gather this is about a user called Rimu and it’s making fun of him. I thought this was OP’s attitude, so I will remove the Sokka from the last air bender screaming boo gif!

I think they’re going to need to back pedal some ideas. Ideas that are “for your benefit” such as, your user folder linked to one drive (so you’ll always have a backup) is also a cash-grab (“oh, you only have 5 GB of space. We’ll sell you more!”). This needs to be opt-in.

Windows 7’s market share has surprisingly increased to about 9.61% in 2025. This rise is likely due to users hesitating to upgrade to Windows 11 as support for Windows 10 is ending.

You can say that’s only 10%, but how much is that in lost revenue?

So we’re trying to make Talos a thing?

“Wick started his talk by saying that it looks like everything is great with the Flatpak project, but if one looks deeper, “you will notice that it’s not being actively developed anymore”. There are people who maintain the code base and fix security issues, for example, but “bigger changes are not really happening anymore”. He said that there are a bunch of merge requests for new features, but no one feels responsible for reviewing them, and that is kind of problematic.”

–OOF.
