- Comment on How would society look like with no companies at all and every single thing is free? 1 week ago:
/thread
though, a requirement for this would be post-scarcity, for which it’s necessary that most daily and small luxury goods are available at little to no cost.
there are many pathways to this, but they require the economics and politics to be reoriented to focus on society’s needs, rather than those of a few; and that the incentive to act on society’s behalf is always more than to act against it.

That’s just progressive tax brackets with extra steps.
- Comment on How would you rate your country's constitution? 3 weeks ago:
On the other hand, Trump’s been busy trying to rule by decree. Being able to do that at all is an issue.
- Comment on How would you rate your country's constitution? 3 weeks ago:
As I understand it from there, it’s the government that works, but the PMs that can get dismissed often. Unfortunately, the right-wing populists like to stay over time.

- Comment on Chuck Norris haven't go gently to the dark 4 weeks ago:
To be fair, I liked the jokes too. I found it rather sad that he decided to spend his life backing heinous movements instead.
- Comment on Dumb bitch 4 weeks ago:
Or is it the large companies’ and the capitalist system’s fault for not focusing on general wellbeing, instead looking at profit for everything, even if that means pollution?
- Comment on Chuck Norris haven't go gently to the dark 4 weeks ago:
He wrote columns for a far-right website, was a Reagan “fan”, wanted to ban same-sex marriage, disliked criticism of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ practices and shaved it off as “but but look at black people!”, was a conspiracy nut on Obama’s citizenship, supported Israel and Netanyahu the Genocider, and signed a weapon deal with Glock when school shootings happened recently.

Communities are largely similar, but the underlying hardware and tweaks are slightly different.
- Comment on My mom really love NBC Good News tonight. How come there isn't a show where they report on the good news of the day instead of all the bad crap all the time? 1 month ago:
If you only ever hear bad news, this can also demoralise and disincentivise people from taking action. That’s why I usually balance them a bit, to avoid doomscrolling.

- Comment on Which Linux Distribution has the best Community Support? 1 month ago:
Live image and test?
do you mean I’d download a distro, put it on a USB, and then extract/open it in there, and test it out?
(and ofc, saving my data on my own desktop on an external hard disk, before committing to switch)?
- Comment on Which Linux Distribution has the best Community Support? 1 month ago:
Would it work for general usage too?
Within Linux I see ‘beginner’, ‘intermediate’ and ‘advanced’ users mentioned, but I’m not sure where I’d fall, or what those would roughly denote.
Like I’m familiar with what a terminal is and how it can be used for commands, I’m not like an old grandma not knowing what the big red X button does, I know not to delete system32 or to avoid sudo rm rf, but I’m not familiar with a shell, setting up an IP of your own, that stuff. I think this would label me as an average user for whom intermediate distros would be possible, but I’m not sure.

Terrible, it should never be allowed that companies can grow this large.
- Comment on Apologies if I'm making an incorrect judgement, but does anybody else get dystopian propaganda vibes from the Working with Cancer Pledge? 1 month ago:
Definitely dystopian, yes. It’s your classic “Go work, you’re not ill at all” bullshit. I recall the story of a mum who had to work while having to undergo stressful chemo, being in the hospital. All because if she took more than a few days off, she’d be ineligible for health reimbursements etc.

Why’d one buy a “smart” fridge with spyware? Wouldn’t it be better to buy a dumb fridge?
