I don't care about the government. I tried to care, but nobody │ ║ liked my ideas. they required too much computing infrastructure to feasibly │ ║ test, and that made people dubious. but I tell ya, it would have worked. The │ ║ thing is... governance, economics, these are not the tools of power. they are a │ ║ shifting and changing beast that mirrors the human instinct, if only because │ ║ the government is of the people and by the people and for the people etcetera. │ ║ │ ║ power is it's own thing. you can use to to power devices, or power the usage of │ ║ those devices. I, for example, really like World of Warcraft which's a really │ ║ neat way to chat because none of the chat logs are stored and monitored because │ ║ I'm hosting and I'm not storing and monitoring. │ ║ │ ║ what's that? official servers?

"here's what I learned, here's what I know, here's the experiment, here's the "get-done"." ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5282 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────── I wonder why someone hasn't yet written a "meta-package-manager" which installed from many different sources and correctly configured each installation to be able to efficiently find exactly where the requisite libraries are installed, even if they're installed for a different system. Then, when running, every time it encountered an error, it moved one more dependency over to the native package manager until eventually everything is in order. ... or something like that, truth be told I'm a junior ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5283 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────── if you attempt to dismantle capitalism, they'll contest you. if you attempt to claim power, they'll show you how. if you attempt to be exempt from proving [deserve-tion/desertion] you will be viewed as an enemy, which is how they keep the productive in line. I'd rather have 500 people sitting on the couch eating cheetos than 5 people in a trenchcoat doing 1500 AI's jobs. if they don't need your labor, then they don't need you. universal basic income is necessary and basic. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5284 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────── I think that's just Lutris, right? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5285 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: socialism-communism-mentioned │ └───────────────────────────────────┘ socialism is when you know a guy who knows a guy who can install your washer and dryer. communism is when she'll do it for free because she has everything that she needs. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5286 ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────── what if we all shared zip files of all the websites we wanted to collectively host and then you just added to things whenever the archiver wanted to update their display of what you were saying on your website "here's some html, throw it up on your server and post it around if you want" "uh, but won't it be permanently the same? you won't be able to update it if it's on my computer. also, it's against internet law to host the same thing with different urls" "I don't think that second thing is true, but uh yeah that's the point. I can't update it unless you ping me and ask for a new archive to unzip over the current." "sounds like a lot of lame work for no good reason. why duplicate these things?" "because it's like, 300mb and you'll have immortalized me as long as your server is alive." "okay, fair, but I don't like the idea of a plain old boring website like yours" "ouch rude I made it that way on purpose. if you actually cared you'd find out why." 52 characters remaining ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────┴───────────┘ |
