I don’t think I can see a way to actually accomplish that without still ending up with negative outcomes.

Take for example a surgeon, one who is a specialist who’s time is 100% occupied saving people. Does he get taken away from that to do his time as a garbage collector? Do you tell the patient “sorry, you are going to die. You could have been saved, but we needed your surgeon to go pick up garbage.”, or do you have an exemption list?

And if there’s an exemption list, you will never convince me that people wouldn’t start abusing who is and isn’t on that list. You arrive right back to having a class society.

I feel like that entire passage completely ignores the fact that last time the bulk of humanity lived a communal lifestyle, the number of humans on the planet was a few orders of magnitude smaller. It’s a fairly easy setup to maintain when settlements are small and the bulk of people’s time is spent as hunter-gatherers or subsistence farmers. As soon as you put a very large number of people into a city, the communal arrangement falls apart. And many people like living in cities. That genie is out of the bottle, and people are not going to be willing to go back to being a subsistence farmer in a commune.

That’s been one of the goals of just about every socio-economic system, but since are not yet at the point where we can completely automate away all undesirable jobs, it all circles back to being shit.

Development cost is still a thing with software.

So from two seconds of Googling, it looks to be a proton issue, which zypper dup would do nothing to change. Proton versions are controlled from within steam.

Does the game have kenal level anticheat? Because if it does, it doesn’t matter what distro you choose, it’s the anti-cheat blocking the game from starting.

I don’t immediately hate it. It’s been a while since any laptops/prebuilds shipped with less than 8 GB, and there’s distros out there far better suited to running on low power or legacy hardware.

Some countries allow it. The major difference is that other people cannot choose for you. Your family can’t “put you down” but you can choose to have a doctor assist.

Most consumer units will at least make a half-assed attempt to pick the least occupied frequency.

Each end of the spectrum a has its own issues.

A centrally managed economy can be great for making unpopular but necessary changes, but are prone to massive failures when the law of unintended consequences inevitably shows up to bite you in the ass.

Free market economies are great for letting complexities sort themselves out, but are terrible for quickly making necessary changes, and you end up with “death by 1000 cuts” instead of one but failure.

In the end, I think it’s best to use the right tool for the right situation. As the goods/services are less critical, or the barriers to doing it yourself are low, a free market approach tends to work better. As the goods/services become more critical, and the do it yourself barriers are high, the free market approach becomes increasingly shitty for everyone but the owners.

Hopefully it’s just AI tools for development they’re talking about (though that will be bad enough if RHEL becomes vibecoded slop) and not stupid AI “features” baked into the OS.

Is “public communication” public transportation? Guessing this is some translation weirdness.

I’m trying to imagine the flavour of Oreos with salsa vs Oreos with nacho cheese, and I think that the cheese option would taste better. Not good, but better than salsa.

That was exactly what I had in mind

Two? Do you think I’m some kind of millionaire?

What format does the shield not support that other boxes do support?

It astonishes me that the shield is still the best of the streaming boxes after all these years.

ISP. They they piggyback off Rogers/Cogeco/whoever for the last mile connection, but in my experience have been more reliable and haven’t had any of the downtime that Rogers has.

First of all, fuck Rogers with a rusty statue of a cactus, and second, fuck them again.

I don’t understand how a company that big can be that bad at uptime. I moved to Teksavvy years ago and haven’t had any outages since. I refuse to do direct business with any of the big three.

For me, baked potatoes is just about the worst thing you can do with a potato. It’s not that they’re bad, it’s just that everything else is better.

I’d choose potato chips. If I’m stuck with only the one thing forever, I’m going to at least choose the one with the biggest range of flavours.
