Oh, I jumped to conclusions then, I assumed you were insinuating that that wasn’t the point of the post

- Comment on CGP Grey - The Rules for Rulers 2 months ago:
Something that i think is important to understand about this, and while Grey does mention it, its brief and towards the end, is that this framework isn’t particularly unique to governments. These patterns show up in human organization at basically every level.
So I’m going to push back on the idea that
this is horrible and this system should be abolished
Depending on what “this system” means to you.
I think it’s much more useful to understand the incentives at play and build systems that minimize the damage consolidated power can do, and limit the ability for power to accumulate. That is… very much easier said than done, but I think it’s needed effort.
- Comment on CGP Grey - The Rules for Rulers 2 months ago:
That’s right.
While the video is a good summary of the framing of the book (the selectorate theory of politics), I still recommend reading the book if you find the topic interesting. They go into a bunch of case studies on how you can apply the framing in wildly different circumstances, and make a very compelling case for how increasing the numbers of participants in a system improves the outcomes for everyone involved.

This video, and the book it’s based on, unironically started my transition from neoliberal to socialist.

The keyboard is fine, nothing to write home about. The top plate is in 6 separate bits (on the 16 in anyway) and they’ve got a bit of play, it feels a bit awkward to me, but the trade offs are worth it to me.
Software/firmware has been surprisingly well thought out, including a very clear picture if you try to boot without all the pieces installed.
I’ve had one weird issue with the uefi boot, but that was due to using an old install media, I think.

My only real complaint is that “have an ai do it” isn’t a great suggestion though; an ai wil have the same bias as whoever developed it.

I bought a framework recently. Its not perfect, but I’ve been quite happy with it.

Why scrape Lemmy when you could set up your own activitypub server, subscribe to everything, and let all the other hosts send the data to you in a format that’s already formatted in a way that’s easy to add to your training data.
