thanks, this is clever

ah, but I was just wondering what it means
- Comment on How would an anarchist society work? 1 week ago:
saving this. It’s a good question. I’ve heard plenty of thoughts on how it should work on a small scale, but nothing about the larger scale.
- Comment on How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? 1 week ago:
this sounds promising, but how do you tax one thing against another?
- Comment on How would you actually tax the ultra wealthy? 1 week ago:
I guess you tax assets more and salaries less - and work internationally to make tax avoidance harder and less profitable by taxing capital flows and by cracking down on tax havens.
Unless you can get a political consensus on it, I don’t think an inheritance tax will be very effective. Tax planners will find a way to transfer the wealth before it gets inherited, helped by certain kinds of politicians whenever they have power.

stock android on a fairphone 4 - I do use Syncthing for syncing, though
my Raspberry Pis are all resting atm, but I really should set one up with pihole and syncthing again…

I guess the big question is how customizable this will end up being - all the arguments against it seem to assume there’s just an on-off switch, and that seems pretty stupid as anything but a tech demo.

“The data found 25 per cent of gay and bisexual men would vote for Reform, with 33 per cent of straight men also pledging support to Farage’s party.
By contrast, Zack Polanski’s left-wing, pro-trans Green Party was the second most popular choice for gay and bisexual men at 19 per cent. However, amongst the straight men surveyed, only 7 per cent support the Greens.For lesbian and bisexual women, the Greens were by far the most popular choice, with more than a third backing Polanski (37 per cent). This was not reflected for straight women, with just 11 per cent saying they would vote Green and the majority of their support going to Reform (29 per cent)."
I guess Reform is just really popular :c - Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:

Native Norwegian, fluent in English, can struggle through childrens’ comic books in German and sort of get by in Egyptian Arabic.

oh, well in that case I’m not sure what they could have done

“When the police comes knocking on your door, you can’t just blame Proton”
obviously, but the ideal we should be working towards is that privacy is the default, right? The more normal it is to have this kind of privacy, the less suspicious it is.
are they legally required to store the credit card information?

I hadn’t heard of the guy, so I searched him up… funny how these guys always look like Bond villains
- Comment on Beyond fucked up 1 month ago:
Yeah, the edition I read had a preface that seemed specifically written to prevent those kinds of interpretations. I wonder if it was written by a female relative of Nabokov’s.
It’s well written, but there might just be such a thing as being too subtle
- Comment on Beyond fucked up 1 month ago:
I managed to get a few chapters into “Lolita” before I decided to put it down. It’s well written, but so very creepy. This text is like it’s written by the main character – maybe even a more honest version of him.
- Comment on Donald Trump just shared an AI video to Truth Social depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as monkeys 1 month ago:
the plausible deniability is getting thinner and thinner - this time it was that the whole video was jungle themed, so obviously it had nothing to do with racism!

Pretty sure that’s a fake picture actually
- Comment on I am looking for a Linux OS 1 month ago:
My experience is that Linux Mint is the closest we have to a “it just works"-distro that is also decently up to date. Try that first.
