Yes, of course. Capitalism is an economic framework. A good political framework is needed, just like i said for socialism. This is a failure of the U.S. political implementation not of capitalism as a system of commerce. I would never say capitalism is the answer to all social ills. Your statement feels like a way to say I am wrong, so if I misunderstood, sorry.
Profiteers foregoing the largest source of profit? Not likely.
It is authoritarian. Communist system devolve to authoritarianism because it is a natural progression (easy to do). Socialists can, but a good democratic political structure makes it harder.
He said Capitalism, not Corporate Capitalism. Pure, unfettered Capitalism leads to the same place facism, communism, and feudalism go.
The issue is “unfettered”. Regulations enforced upon the operation of the markets, maintained by rule of law, enables achievement of greater agency and success upon much larger parts of society.
People understand they can prosper from creating real value, which pushes society toward greater advancements to quality of life and enable more individual freedom than any prior economic and political system.
Kill the illness, not the patient.
Exactly. Just like they never tracked and stored our movements when we turned iff location history.
The class action suit they lost on that was fake news /s
True gallows humor - in a dad joke. Well done. (Seriously)
I’m going to sit down in the corner over there and weep quietly now.
Until you realize republicans are on a PR offensive against empathy. Litterally, not figuratively. I’m not speaking in metaphors.
By “homelab”, do you mean your local network? I tend to use shared folders, kdeconnect, or WebDAV.
I like WebDAV, which i can activate on Android with DavX5 and Material Files, and i use it for Joplin.
Nice thing about this setup is that i also have a certificate secured OpenVPN, so in a pinch i can access it all remotely when necessary by activating that vpn, then disconnecting.
Operate the gas tank? What new feature did they add that requires a container of liquid to be networked?
Others have covered this well. From my experience (35 years), most “developers” write stream of thought code. It reflects how their brains process, without regard to others. When I have agency, I can steadily refactor the code to reduce indirection, nested if.then, etc. When I don’t, I’m in danger of being too slow in completing the work. Just lost my job for that reason while working with a 1000 line service entry method with a cyclomatic complexity of 310 and 34 class parameters. Coupled with being the acceptance tester as well, it makes it near impossible to succeed.
For extremely complicated code I used to create simple diagram sketches that illustrated the dependencies. It acted as a series of bookmarks to help keep my place. I think I have a smaller “working space” in my mind than non ADHD programmers. I think they can keep all that complexity in their mind at once while I cannot.
In a way, I turn that into an asset by writing code that I can reason about, which by definition requires it to be SOLID, and with minimal responsibility per function.
Lately, I’ve been using AI to generate sequence and class diagrams of the code to act as a high-level view of what’s going on. Major time saver.
Damn, you sound like me at my company… except I just got fired because I can’t fix code fast enough, and they reject any effort to improve it. 35 years of experience here. In some environments, pointing out problems leads to unemployment.
I think he sould have included Chromite. Regularly updated and a fork of the abandoned Bromite, which was a privacy-centric project. I still use Firefox, but also use Chromite.
This gave me a chill, as it is reminiscent of a scene in the 1970 movie “Colossus: The Forbin Project”
“This is the voice of World Control”.
For OsmAnd+, there is another option for addresses. OpenSuperMaps joins national address registries with openstreetmaps. For American maps, it enables OsmAnd to make sense of American style address searches.
It is phenomenal.
Really? What about everything your employer shares about you? Whatvavout the faxt they litterally monitor everything you do?
Zero control, and sure don’t do anything non-work, but since you give at least 8 hours per day to work, they collect all sorts of metadata, like when you’re most productive when you eat, how you interact with people, personality quirks, facial scans, home address, ssn, bank account, phone number, 401k investments… Everything, basically.
Some things one has to be willing to forgo. I grew up before all this crap happened, so i just never let it infiltrate my world too much.
Still, it comes at a cost that increasingly includes Social isolation. Very few give a rats ass about privacy. They’re blissfully clueless and don’t see the point of doing all the extra work. After all they 'have nothing to hide". (Aren’t they adorable?).
Come to grips with the fact most people are both stupid, and sheep. Seek the ones who have some clue of what is going on not just around them, but in the rest of the world.
You can set KeePassDX to use a pin for quick unlock. It does not have the remote access feature, but i use Synology Drive to keep the file synchronized, and it does a decent job of autopopularing fields.
Are most people in “the west” worse off today than they were 150 years ago? Are there fewer well functioning democracies than there were then? Has no minority group seen any improvement in their freedom? Has there been no improvement in how people interact with each other? No improvement in poverty?
