Yep, I guess what I'm saying is that as long as people keep voting for "creating more jobs", it'll be difficult to get there. Voting for more jobs includes the whole ethos around those jobs being owned by a handful of people.

I may not live to see it but I'll keep trying to push that direction when I can!

This! Every election is about politicians who want to create jobs. I want to vote for someone who wants us to have less jobs! I thought technology was supposed to make us more productive for more free time.

One of the episodes that stuck with me since I've been a kid.

Also consider just letting your mind wander. No need to engage with any social media. Daydreaming can be wonderful!

I agree with literally everything in the video!!!

Though I do have a BangleJS, where apps are written in Javascript but the watch is still pretty awesome.

It really is! I've actually held a package. I can't remember if rice was even an ingredient.

My issue isn't with the technology but the fact that only an announcement created $100,000,000,000 worth of "value" while at the same time people are losing their jobs.

And even if the tech works, there are any number of reasons it won't be successful. A competitor may beat them to it, or an open source one comes out, or the UI is terrible, or a middle manager cancels the project, or...

I have no issues with people making piles of money for creating useful things, but I do take issue with the speculative market moving around so much money while inequality is on the rise and people are out of work. And some of these are the very people who created that "value".

I don't really have a solution, but I also refuse to accept it as just the way things are.

Stock prices are crazy! For all we know this AI powered Excel is vapourware but the stock goes up over an announcement.

So much value created for society from a press release!

Meanwhile, record profits...

The movie is really good, and the characters are relatable. Solid action movie.

So... this is a joke?

No

This is all pretty new though. And if another one came out it would be less mature than Headscale. For what it's worth I've been using Tailscale for a while now and it's fantastic!

You beat me to it! More colour, more designs, more accessories. I like wearing a suit, but women just have so many more fun designs.

The J stands for jam!

Microtransaction season 5 horse armour DLC isn't fun either, but here we are :(

I've managed to remove several Google services from my normal use pretty easily. I actually pay for email now. I have to get back into using Open Street Maps, so if anyone knows a good client that would be appreciated!

Sadly, I'm still stuck on an Android phone. I didn't realize it at the time, but the phone I bought isn't supported by LineageOS and the like, so I'm kind of stuck for now.
