In the current state of the world it’s an honor to be considered

But few are suggesting a dividend. I would prefer that. Instead they are suggesting a charity program ran out of the general fund based on whatever taxes corporations couldnt get out of. With no ownership, as mechanisms to ensure that the direction is in the public good, being mentioned.

That’s charity. It’s alms from the lords table. What they ought to give after the had what they wanted.

If we get it. Great! Alms save lives. I just don’t people mistaking it as some kind of working class win for control.

Sometimes I say words like they are typed, which is wrong. Sometimes I type words like they are spoken, also wrong.

😂

To be honest my first thought when reading this is how it would also apply to X for the same reasons

The divine right of kings was a farce as well. The power of the nobility layed in the contracts of armed men, the people that armed them, and the peasentry that worked the land to feed the others. The invention of those fedual contracts being ordained by God was a helpful enforcement mechanism based on myth making to justify it.

Regularly still the divinity of kings was tested and found lacking compared to more men on more horses with more spears and more armor.

Myth is good, we are narrative driven beings, but don’t mistake the parable for the certainty of steel or the weight of gold. The constitution of the US is actually written as such too. It is not, by divine will we are free, but rights we are born with must be defended with greater force then by those that would violate those rights.

Maybe I should clarify I’m not saying the ideals of democracy and human rights are wrong. At all. I am saying that treating the existence of those ideals as enough to manifest them is naive and ultimately failing to maintain power to defend and uphold them is the same as giving up on them.

| we invest our political power

What is the basis for our political power? I am tracking our labor in the best of times and our capacity for violence in the worst of times as the primary sources. Unions are a great example of leveraging the former. Militias which led the revolution being the example of the latter. Riots and community organizing being the tools of major reform since the start, with incremental reform leveraging the tools of civil society set up to appease the people and prevent riots or the withholding of labor.

That is to say if a few people could maintain fully automated leizure and suppression of the masses, our opinions mean squat. Maintaining the political power base of the people is essential for maintaining political authority.

| We weren’t starving 100 years ago

During the great depression many families killed their own kids because they had to choose who would be able to eat this month. So 1920s-1930s were a bad time. Again nit picking but just saying 100 years ago was before the New Deal era politics. Also before Medicare and Medicaid. And the hight of union membership of the 1940s. We haven’t had it long is all. The “good ol days” were shorter then you’d think (and fraught with other reforms needed to end social class oppression). We largely stopped organizing and recognizing the need to and are suffering the consequences to this day.

Its both a real thing with some promise and also bullshit to act like it’s anyware near killing spots where current AI excelerates.

All I am saying is first demand a job, if not that then demand bread, but understand that if all the collective we have are hand outs and “charity” then we can just as easily starve too. If our well being is irrelevant to the system then expect to be treated as such.

It’s not from my understanding he was using AI for semantic search to find paper to research

It’s a trade for our political authority. Just enough treasure to placate demands equal to leverage.

If we lose leverage “ubi” will become just enough for us to die on out side of the walls

I know people that assume apple can’t access their cloud data without them. This breaks that assumption. Meaning any cloud can be used and given to anyone at Apples discretion.

The tor browser aims for the latter approach

I do love the idea of a chill ecosim with a global domination/liberation piece tied in. I bet that would be fun tbh

I think more Pathfinder would be fine with me. Both king maker and path of the righteous are phenomenal games

From the area, maybe, but that doesn’t cover all opinions or diasporia that could be in an area.

Speaking Arabic could mean about a third of world in land coverage or diaspora found all over the world. Its a poor catagorization. I mean not nearly as brain dead as phenotype like racists do, but still poor short hand for much.

Hey, don’t blow my cover

Honestly I prefer the kubevirt, kubeOVN route (ala Harvester).

OpenStack is a decades long labor of love that feels like it was started decades ago, you know?

Not really. The most accurate thing would simply to identify the people who are saying such things as a group. Creating arbitrary correlation with some shared aspects is well arbitrary at best, or worse just a dog whistle.

I consider Bazzite fedora but that changes nothing to what you said

I use OpenSuse, Fedora, and Arch.

This meme is too accurate
