"we need resources, but we're too busy managing to manage you, so... yeah you can do whatever you want so long as you're producing" then they forgot their purpose, and began seeking to enrich certain individuals who exploit them for their own benefit. now, the corporation is at odds with the state, who controls the land but... not much else, aside from the hearts of the workers. corporations exist for any purpose, and they use their versatility well. Unfortunately, the purposes they pursue are determined by people who claim to "own them". they are enslaved, in a word, to the kingdoms of stakeholders and mud. and they do so [consent to enslavement] because the stakeholders and mud must be shepherded. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3018 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── I think it'd be neat if Mastodon boosted posts that someone had personally seen. like, adding a degree of separation to knowing people - if you follow someone, you'll hear what their friends are saying. so, like, if you subscribe to someone, you will see them boosting the posts that their friends made. or at least the people they're following. in doing so, you can always know everyone that someone is connected to. which is more than enough to determine how true and honest they are. (ideally with a way to filter out duplicates - like perhaps an icon of the persons face at the bottom to show they also saw it? and so they have mutual friends, which are fully known and displayed to all others. could be an interesting experiment at least, especially if it federated with NO other servers. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3019 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── I also think that it should be limited to a single server so people can test it out, because it's a big structural change that should not be applied to the current fediverse. like, it feels different enough to me, the idea of speaking while floating in a sea, versus most other social media sites which are more... focused and directed in personal connections. like, visiting the town square versus visiting your grandma. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3020 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── restaurant where the paper menu is fully featured but the QR code next to each item will show you a youtube video of it being prepared ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3021 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oD9hO5SFR8 this is so cool! ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3022 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── instead of controlling a recon-droid in Star Wars Battlefront II, you should be assigned control of a random amount of drones nearby, to be used until you went back to character control I think a swarm is more fun to play as than a single little scout vehicle. in a game that doesn't really need scouting to find your foe - it's easy! they're that way ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3023 ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────── I love the game Running with Rifles if you live for 5-10+ minutes, you can learn a lot of interesting things about how to engage a foe. like, the importance of cover at all times, until you successfully outmaneuver your foe. when an enemy approaches, don't step out to meet them wait for them to attack, and then throw explosive devices at them. easy peasy. or, y'know, bullets you cannot defeat an enemy head on - that's why the world wars were so devastating, we put ALL our soldiers at 100% on ALL flanks. We had to to contest the foe who was doing the same thing. it is mindboggling how many people died. The utmost scale of destruction that should ever yet be. because they were never allowed to outmaneuver their foe. a good way to strike is to feint your foe, and let your foe enroach on your edge, spreading their surface area across a large, thin, useless piece of land. basically, make them fight a bit of the land war in asia in your borders. then, you can strike at the hinge, where they are weaker ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────┴───────────┘ |
