You will quickly get flagged/banned and/or asked for a phone number/email address for verification. I've lost 2 accounts to this.

If you're curious, a book The Master and His Emissary by Ian McGilchrist goes over many of the differences in "personality" of each hemisphere which is not as simple of a divide as is commonly heard. It is not so much a logic

I don't think I stated the size or proportions of the market.

You find this everywhere there is a centralized "authority". Incumbants use every trick to keep their tribe in power at the expense of what that central power was nominally "supposed to do". The purpose of the system is

You're suggesting government step in and stop the market from adapting around existing regulation? But that's how we got where we are right now. If government weren't in the way we'd have even more happy buyers. You poin

And this Kei Truck response is a good example of how a market (free or not), while seeking to find all profits, uncovers an unmet need in the market and adapts for the mutual benefit of the consumers And the producers.

Both "wings" is how we got here. This is not an issue from a single party.

Right, just like if the good guys don't develop a novel coronavirus in a lab, the bad guys will and unleash it on the world! Development of tools of death is not a good guy/bad guy thing. The "bad guys" think the "g

I think optics of being advanced aren't the main goal. Some form of "justification", no matter how flimsy, especially if it's hard to audit how the "AI" came to it's conclusions, is the goal. Now anyone is

It's more than open source. A political party I tried to join organized via Discord. A hardware project offered support only through Discord. Seems most "communities" have one now. But I hate Discord and it's a poor tool

Seems like they want to compete with Twitch. Hopefully with less pools and yoga.

You might not have realized how this monopoly was granted. It wasn't a free market decision, it was state sanctioned.

The privacy of the world's populace sounds like a pretty big problem to me considering the damage that can be caused by that information getting into the wrong hands.

For the kombucha, you can grab a bottle of your favorite brand and use a bit of it to start your own culture. You'll also need some tea for flavor, sugar to feed it, and some cups to ferment in IIRC. It's been years since I'v

I see what you mean. I'd argue that capitalism "wants" freer markets, though, as it benefits from more freedom to spend and earn wealth (liquidity).

by skidd0 3y ago
Can you go into more detail here? My understanding is that a free market requires capitalism (privately owned wealth) to function. And capitalism needs free-ish markets to actually use the wealth. I'm also unsure how libertarianism is

Pro capitalism is not inherently anti environmentalism. See PERC for some info on free market environmentalism: https://www.perc.org/about/free-market-environmentalism/

Curration. I don't see the bots (unless I look at a post's replies) because I only see who I follow. Same with Reddit back when I was regularly visiting. I don't see the dumping ground of low value memes because I only see th

Addiction has many factors. I was pointing out that crack and other drugs can form chemical dependencies that apps and screen time cannot.

by skidd0 3y ago
Except crack and other drugs form physical dependencies which leads to withdrawal. Smart phone addicts have a more psychological battle. That's the willpower/self-discipline part. How do you build discipline? Practice! So, yeah, i

> The telco lobbyists wrote the government regulations. This is the issue. There isn't a free market in this (or many) sectors because of regulatory capture. If that were gone, if competition was even possible, then we would see imp

I was writing mainly JavaScript all day. The main culprit was my wrist posture. They were squeezed together in front of me and at an awkward, flat angle while typing. Even with a sit/stand desk, multiple breaks, etc. the pain would bui

Yes exactly! All my mods are mirrored on both keyboards (except left pinkie shift). You lose the number row with the Kyria, but I have all my numbers and symbols available with a simple thumb press. A fair trade.

When I started getting some RSI from coding all day, I looked for solutions. I ultimately settled on a split keyboard (separating the left and right hand more, less cramped in front at odd wrist angles) with a bunch of thumb keys (to act as

Anarchy has many different schools of thought. For those curious or intrigued, I'd recommend The Anarchist Handbook by Machael Malice. It contains a collection of writings from many different anarchist thinkers, from the violent dynami
