It'd be mutually beneficial for them because without complete cooperation, the network wouldn't function very well at all (unless your neighbor happened to have the same brand of TV / IoT device, which would work but wouldn't be as good) this is all cursed btw and should not be allowed to persist oh and it wouldn't even need to be plugged in if it included a rechargeable battery built in. Just connect it to the data transmission functionality and nothing else so the users don't accidentally discover it. Oh and make sure its hidden with a metal plate or something with big "DO NOT OPEN FOR RISK OF ELECTROCUTION" letters on it. I bet people still will ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3960 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── I have 3855 posts here I estimate that about half of them use every single character (1024 char limit per post) That means I've written around 1973760 characters, and if the average english word has 6 characters that means I've written 328960 words they say that on average a page is around ~500 words single spaced, which means I've written about 657 pages, just for you. I hope you know that I love you, dear reader, though I do not know you. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3961 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: witcherie │ └──────────────────────┘ Well, I failed the mandate of heaven last year, and I failed the trial of the hero this summer, what's next? I'll do my best at those as well, so the next person has an easier time of it. unrelated, but today I saw a bald eagle outside my apartment. Well, I'm not sure if it was bald but it "KREEEEEE"'d like they do. Plus it had a white head and a yellow beak, but I'm not an ornithologist so idk. It perched on a tree that I could spy on from my hammock through my binoculars, and I swear it was eye-ing my fat juicy cat through the bars of my porch's railing. They have excellent vision. Might be related, we'll see. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3962 ╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: re: Thoughts// anarchist //whatever │ │ ║ └─────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ @user-1298 │ ║ │ ║ hehe true. │ ║ │ ║ if you consent, then it's just a social structure. │ ║ │ ║ there are, however, reasons when power is justified. Hence why I don't believe │ ║ that power itself should be dismantled, and what few "power structures" remain │ ║ should be continuously justified. │ ║ │ ║ For example, how do you prevent people from harming others? "Your rights end │ ║ where another's begin" but, like, how do you stop people who toe the line and │ ║ spit over the edge? │ ║ │ ║ There must be power applied to those who harm, and they surely do not consent │ ║ to being curtailed, so therefore power must be wielded by someone. And because │ ║ power corrupts the one who wields it, it is inevitable that someone creates │ ║ harm. │ ║ │ ║ ... I just re-invented the police, didn't I? Legalism only goes so far, and │ ║ calling up your beefiest friends to go rough up a no-good do-gooder is │ ║ basically what mobs, mafias, and gangs do. I don't think people would consent │ ║ to being protected by a gang, much less governed by one. │ ║ │ ║ we will think of something. │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3963 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: Thoughts// anarchist //whatever │ └─────────────────────────────────────────┘ @user-1298 Yes I agree! Harming others is not okay. I'm thinking about what happens when someone hurts someone else, and doesn't stop. What do you do then? Do you hurt the person who harms? How do you get them to stop? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3964 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── I want to go camping with a bunch of programmers bearing laptops. Each person can bring a book or three and whatever documentation they can fit on their computer and then we just spend 3 months in the mountains doing nothing but programming, hiking, sitting around the campfire, and dreaming of a better tomorrow ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/3965 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── maybe some whiteboards and notebooks as well... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ |
