It was the year of the whistleblower deaths, that’s the answer.

I don’t like Bill Burr generally, but he’s spot on regarding corporate and Luigi. Corporate = modern mafia. There’s less “whacking”, as he calls it, because we’ve made most of their shenanigans legal. But, corporate (neo-Mafia?) will still “whack” a rat.

I think I know who killed him.

By 11, he was programming on his own—a skill he used to playfully torment his friends. One remembers Balaji’s idea of a middle-school prank: writing code that deleted a friend’s Skyrim save file.

A truly depressing response to the article bringing up how yet again whistleblowers against major corporations are being killed mysteriously.

Some of us deal with the absurdity of our current reality through humour, don't take it as them trying to undermine what happened

It’s like we’re living in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, but without the fucking cool shit

I still can't decide if it's end-stage capitalism or beggining-stage cyberpunk, or both.

Honestly both
All of the bad shit of late capitalism and cyberpunk, with none of the cool stuff

People talk about 1984 not being an operating manual.

But jeez, Antitrust was not an operating manual. Nor Deus Ex...

Whistleblower? Don't tell me it's a bunch of Indians typing ChatGPT responses again
