- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 4 days ago:
I mean like owning things is a human concept not a physical law, so yeah I can imagine a society exists where nothing is owned
Can’t say if it’d be better or worse than our current cause were not trying it, but tbh I’d be happy if instead of solely me being able to use ‘my’ drill for example, the whole community can whenever they require.
Sounds a hell of a lot more efficient to me if we work together not apart
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 4 days ago:
Making the assumption ownership is a valued currency of course.
Which is arguably a bootstrap-paradox; we need capital to participate in capitalism, for which we need - cause without capitalism what would we do with our capital.

On one end carrying sheep would be annoying, but so is a credit score; arguably both are sources of noise distracting humanity from actually improving at all

God? Jesus is that you? Or at least someone omnipotent
You know with absolute certainty the only way people can trade is capitalism?
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 4 days ago:
Kinda like when an AI is overtrained on one thing that wasn’t really correlated to its original goal, we’ve attempted to create a system that organizes collaboration between people; were now so overtrained on acquiring wealth that some would rather the planet burn than risk acquiring slightly less.
Its similar enough to a trail of ants in a death spiral; the same essential survival instincts that their society depends on, now nefariously dooming all involved to a slow starvation.
That being said similarly to the ants most of the populace will do the average (as it’s what’s kept us alive this long so how could it harm us?) And continue the spiral, but if one individual is able to reconnect the spiral to the main pheramone train the entire death spiral may be avoided

For the laptop thing you realistically could by a WAN IP per device, itd just be expensivr and also a massive security issue DMZ’ing all your devices
- Comment on Phones have unique phone numbers, why dont computers have unique computer-numbers? 1 week ago:
So then drop your phone and pick up your friends.
What number do you have now?
Or if you really want an IP to follow you plug in your router at your friends house.

You’re telling me only visible light counts as light to lasers?
- Comment on Does color change how hot a laser can get something? 1 week ago:
If you’re measuring energy input by rating on the box yes, but instead of assuming that is your measurement data, they assumed perfect conversion.
It has the same end result descriptively but I’d argue that perfect conversion paints an easier to understand theoretical image, vs a more rigid practical image

I mean not to go against the propaganda but shouldn’t we allow kids to have vaccines without a boatload of cash?
Just cause you save a million kids doesn’t mean you can harm 10 million more, though that could mean a 10x return on investment

As an avid modder I can tell you that’ll make it harder but not impossible, I was halfway to hotwiring an xbox controller so I could run my xbox over parsec
- Comment on Could we use AI to update 4:3 media to 16:9? 6 months ago:
A similar thought I’ve had is AI removal of laugh tracks (maybe introduce background based on non-laugh track scenes)
This would make old Scooby doos actually watchable for me, so I can judge modifying the original a little if it’d what someone prefers - you can always just not watch it
Thinking about it a bit more I 100% would be the type to use a 16:9 ratio, just cause I hate black bars
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
Exactly this is why I haven’t made the switch yet.
Its like letting a package be managed per package instead of per distro, giving its devs some more fine grain control on stability vs update speed
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
As a mid-power user I almost exclusively use them just because I want my software up to date. for example using discover I can update all my godot installs on all my devices to the latest features I’m seeing everyone rave about. (this is mainly for the maintainers but it trickles down)
Looking back into when I first was dipping my toes in linux though things like missing libraries and other scary looking apt errors essentially meant I didn’t go further from there and accepted not installing the package. I could see this frustrating lots of users early and causing them to return to windows as I did for a bit.

But you do get the simplicity, and following the real ‘free’ part of Foss you get the choice to do the fancy nerd magic if you want.
But for most of us flatpaks are readily updated and easily installed, idfc about no gtk magicians spells.
I think its a major step towards general linux acceptance

Wait no thermal degredation
Would nebulizing raw human brains make you high? Especially of I got a little brain-diffuser in the corner that just filled the room with the aroma

Nah you said name a solution and I did name one. Sure not flawless but pretty obvious that There’s more options than just a rootkit, the only point I was trying to disprove.
Any other arguments I don’t have any bearing on ngl I’m not too emotionally attached to my counterpoint
