Almost everything is a worm. Not just in heredity, but also in form. You are a worm that uses long mineral deposits and muscles to stand erect and move around in an erect position for some reason. Weirdest worm.

Semi-corporeal ghosts as well. They can also type.

That’s why I’m for electing Noone.

Sadly, a lot of people get tripped up because they are confused about one simple thing. We are not the government.

This really short book covers it well. https://cdn.mises.org/anatomy-of-the-state.pdf

In fact the first chapter argues that really pretty convincingly. So it only takes about 5 minutes to properly understand that we are not the government. Backing a politician’s grab for power really doesn’t benefit you, because, really, you are just giving social support to more power going to the uniparty, which doesn’t work for you.

It’s one of the shortest books written. It’s basically Machievilli if you freeze dried it into a two hour read. And the critical parts are up front.

Government. We are not the government.

It’s a very short book. And it’s covered pretty convincingly in the first chapter no less.

Or delay it. How would the government having 50% stake in an industry make it less stable? Now the government will form policy around protecting its stake. This will delay a collapse that we should want to happen sooner than later, and ideally be as divested from as possible.

But the government will actually own it, not you and me. So the government will write of its taxes to itself?

But in almost any shell there is also ctrl+a sudo. ctrl+s requires you haven’t sent it yet.

Or also up ctrl+a sudo. It’s only one more key press than sudo !!, and unlocks ctrl-a. More useful to teach noobs IMO. Teach a skill instead of a quirk.

I guess you aren’t a black lady in the south.

But watching youtube for your decompression doesn’t get you to a well rested state. It can do the opposite. So you aren’t making any progress toward actually getting free time.

Better decompression. Turn off all networking. Read something for 5 minutes and go for a walk. Successful decompression in 10 minutes, not 10 hours.

Whether intentional or not, or just progressive improvement on algorithms, youtube thrives by providing a need, and then providing it poorly so you keep your watch time going forever. This is a fun feature of machine learning. Non-willfull conspiracies. A system can do something malicious to get ahead that is equivalent to a highly calculated malicious action, while no one, including the model itself or the algorithms that trained it, or the people who trained it, understands what it’s doing.

We could always make it so corporations have a hiring limit of 5,000 employees to make sure no one corporation is ever large. Doing that now would lead to mass firings. But if we had done it all along, we’d have a more competitive market.

Then come to a site with almost no moderation that still values mature discourse. https://submatrix.net/

The mistake of most low-moderation sites is to couple themselves with a reckless culture. But we all get to choose our culture. We can all simply choose to be mature people.

Can’t have AI moderation if there isn’t much moderation to begin with. And look, the proof is there. If we simply downvote immature people and upvote mature people, it actually works.

You are an adult. You negotiate your arrangements. If you want a 32 hour work week it is yours. Just make yourself available 32 hours a week, and then find a job that is compatible with your availability.

If you can’t swap the package manager it was never open.

I don’t mind that communism has starved people because it hasn’t starved me yet.

Right. A more likely one is that having staff in a building at all are a liability and so all these warehouses are moving to robots. There will be an oversaturation of warehouse workers vs sites still using them, and so these fires are just going to bring wages lower.

A lot of people would need to find new jobs or transform them. I was wondering if anyone would see past the personal computing implications. I didn’t say anything to see how people would think naturally. With only a month to adjust, that would require a lot of fast movement. There has to be a buck to be made somewhere in that.

File distribution would have to move back to CDs or, more likely, SD cards with current software sizes. Games could still be sold. But the big question is what will happen with 90% of businesses that make use of the internet?

I just figured the truth was welcome here.

It’s not a bad film though.

Definitely not hard sci-fi.

Also because it’s obvious and saying it only fans more flames for WWIII. We’re having a hard enough time preventing it with Israel actively trying to derail any attempts at peace. It took long enough to get Trump even pushing in that direction. It will take a miracle for him to not get distracted. The last thing we need is to make this an open contest between world powers and double down on this mess.

But Zelenski doesn’t care. He’ll fan whatever flames if it help him with his conflict. This is the problem with having all these proxy countries associated with you. They don’t always have your exact same strategic priorities or alignment with your goals. Our goal should be to get the US out of war. And both of these countries (Ukraine and Israel) want us in.
