Excuse me. Do you even know what Tiktok is?

Gets off the boat, gets out his gun: “Let me show you a magic trick!”

USA participating in WW2 is one of the greatest net goods in history at the cost of millions of lives. Cant argue it was citizens sent into involuntary massacre. Neither can you argue how the most evil and horrible empires got dismantled then or eventually.

The overwhelming majority of the kernel development is heavily company financed. Are you saying that despite that, the very developer should get the stipend?

Lets make one thing clear, exponentially increasing wealth/power the higher you are in society is a pretty heavy general rule of thumb to beat, whicever way you try moving the seats.

Making such a system for devs will make a pretty wealthy class of people even more privileged with de facto rules that wont apply for the rest of society more in need of money and freedom, meaning actually owning the share of income from their work even over the pay the receive from the company.

Making this a general rule for everyone will more like reshuffle thungs but the exponentiality will in some form persist. If you inevitably fuck it up the implementation phase, it wont get better any bit. You will have the same miserable pay except you own your work. So what.

I just thought of something that was missing from terminal software… welp, time to get to work.

Anti-rich resentment is a good contender though. Their brain might explode at some point, when they realise that these limitations only apply to them, who never actually made most of the pollution happen.

I would have thought lemmy wont root for gaining privileges with more cash.

USSR fell apart, the Armenian and Azerbaijan SSR became independent. Nagorno-Karabakh was a protected Armenian territory in USSR, but UN border agreement didnt take this into account.

So first Armenia waged war on the azeris for the territory. Then, once they built up their military from oil income and the larger population, azeris attacked in response. Now they successfully overwhelmed Armenias forces there, mainly eminating from severed Russian influence in the region.

Lets keep it to NATO rather. A lot safer that way.

Most fundamentalist groups are fundamentalists for the fact that they only know the fundamentals for understanding religious texts.

Actually useful concepts and conclusions to be made evade them. And that is not only for religion.

Really. It is borderline a synonym with “dumb motherfucker”.

And South Africa.

Just as the USSR had computers but they literally got nothing out of it in the end.

It does not matter that they can produce chips if there is no way to utilize it. They dont have market value for the most part.

I was reflecting on the original comment since that is the origin of this debate.

And I did not mean that as a sincere question whether you know an alternative structure to capitalism. I think you cannot avoid it as it is inherently part of whatever you do, that is what I have been pointing out in multiple paragraphs.

I dont think there is a way to make it work better for the majority. Larger systems have unavoidable exponentiality and slower self-correction ability.

Except maybe some of the wealthiest countries that have no natural resources. Those are usually pretty uniform.

I think the highest aim is almost always progression and growth. The right circumstances are most likely the lack of easily exploitable resources within a certain society.

What is the context? Seriously. Capitalism in my view is a controlled framework within which the general agreement is to give a wider control to individuals so they can create arbitrary entities that are more suited to solving certain issues. You can gain money, thus you are incentivized.

Here are actual systems/organizations that can limit capitalism to small scale endevours:

1. feudal hierarchies
2. communist regimes
3. Nazi regimes
4. autocratic dictatorships
5. small scale communes
6. Military juntas

Countries that have an actually good reputation in human rights, pollution, political conduct, are the most serious players of capitalism.

The only reason the heavily socialist swedish subsidise your arse to no end and even make you found a company as a child, is so that you can do capitalism on a higher level. Well functioning socialism requires well functioning capitalist system. They synergise.

So if you come to me with something like “capitalism bad”, I got no fucking way to react to that constructively. Elaborate, why did you arbitrarily put all the issues on the word “capitalism”.

Well fuck, you are the one who just hurled a senseless statement out there in the first place, I just answered with another one.

What I despise with your statement is that the famous antidote is never mentioned. Replace or fix capitalism with what and how? And if you dont know anything better, why do you think its “bad”?

Too fucking bad you are also part of capitalism.

You might be lacking basic understanding of tribal politics and economics then. In a tribal setting you have to neutralise the other tribe, as you do not have a standing army. Any conflict you get into, you are “conscripting” your entire male population.

In every kind of tribal conflict ever, regardless of having the moral upperhand, it was a bogstandard way of conduct. You dont have men to be stationed in enemy territory, that is the manpower that is NEEDED in the fields the second its time to sow or reap, so you dont fucking starve.

So any conflict comes around, you need to make sure that once its over, you will be left the f alone. You have to really hit it home. Maybe thats not obvious, but the clans in this context are probably not NATO or even UN members. :)

Actually, slavery in its original form is also a net positive. You just murdered half a tribe. You cant let the other half just live. Neither do you want to murder them. Thus you will enslave them.

You know you can rename posts with clickbait titles right? Maybe just ask the user to rename and kick or ban him if he does not comply.

Tbh the headphone jack is kind of mid on the zf8 anyway. Every IEM and headphone I had had a treble spike and lower bass on it for some reason.
