  • Prices are set by supply and demand, not by sellers thinking the market can bear it. If a baker raises their prices then eaters can just go to a different baker.

    If demand increases because fewer people are struggling AND supply can’t increase at the same rate then yes there could be price increases. But it’s because of the demand, not just because the sellers want it.

    In the case of housing where supply can’t increase very quickly, yeah rents could go up a bit. So there needs to be plenty of new social housing built by the government alongside UBI, to supply enough to meet demand.

    Some other inflationary effects could be counteracted by taxing the shit out of the rich.

    UBI at nation-state scale wouldn’t happen in isolation, there would be various other policies happening at the same time.

    Ah ok, yep that sounds interesting.

    The term for this is “multiseat”. That’s where you have one computer with N monitors and N keyboards and N mice plugged into it. Try typing “linux multiseat” into your search engine / chatgpt and see where that goes.

    This isn’t a common thing to do so it probably won’t be easy. Also games and GPU-intensive apps might not play nice with multiseat…


  • Doing anything graphics intensive, like 3D modelling, tends to be really really janky and slow over a network. It’s not like streaming video where a bit of latency or jitter is acceptable - with 3D work you need an instant response when you try to manipulate an object. Rethink this whole approach because even if you get it work, it’ll be disappointing.

    I’m a bit confused. You start out by saying your want to build a server and then you talk about 3D software and a beefy graphics card. Those kinds of things are usually done on desktops / workstation PCs. Which is it?

    Do you want one big computer and then run a few VMs on it, which you access through the LAN?
