Yeah muricas politics is fucked, yet Trump is still a worse choice in pretty much all regards. I could even imagine him bringing back a worse law...

It's choosing for the lesser evil...

Would be interesting to know how much of that the steam deck is

And even the criminal case needs to be really criminal it seems.

And adding to that, she is eligible to be president this year, or rather 20th January 2025, because she's turning 35 in october...

I wouldn't say all, but yeah most people probably. It's so unbelievable that people like Trump are so popular, and that people are voting and acting against their own interests (because they are stupid?).

Yeah he's a legend in CS... Muskrat just further rides himself into being the fool of centuries

Democracy is a spectrum, it's true that it's getting less democratic, and the US is certainly less democratic than most of Europe, but it's still technically a democracy.

Or buy (also) via something like bandcamp, when the artist is on it. They cut only 10% IIRC

Problem is still the the whole population gets older on average (due to low fertility rate)...

Yeah especially with just 0.001% of the estimated workload (~10W when gaming, but even when standby 0.5W, 100uW are still just 0.02% of that...). Needs a lot more research...

Now play a game for an hour...

And yet I can understand the skepticism and fear. We have not had yet a big scale "experiment" (i.e. a whole country implementing it). It will have bigger yet to resolve implications (e.g. what's the effect on migration etc.).

(And I'm a big proponent of UBI)

But I think it's just a matter of time that this will become reality, we're to rich (in the western world) to fiddle around with "annoyances" like poor people, and I strongly believe that it will increase creativity, innovation and thus also GDP which may be probably the biggest argument for policy makers.

No it's not, the money you have monthly might be the same for a lot. But there's a big differences psychologically and socially, that you don't have to work just to survive. I can quit my job without having to fear how I'll survive. I can decide to get further education without having to think about how I'll do that financially (at least in Europe). Etc.

It's very big difference compared to just lowering taxes (granted we're not talking about negative income tax which may indeed result in the same thing as UBI).

Actually that's one of the few cases, where a (distributed/decentralized) blockchain really makes sense (trustless ledger which can be used for incorruptible/transparent political systems)...

Ignoring all the buzzword bingo and hype.

Less consumerism, more focus on real social aspects:

• Macro: robust (decentralized) political system, that's not easily corruptible, e.g. via something like blockchain
• Micro: more focus on direct interaction with other people, not via something like a screen, as another post here already said, we're harming ourselves (promote psychiatric issues etc.) with the current state of technology (smartphone overuse). We have gone much less social (direct interaction with others) because of this I'm sure of.

This! I feel it myself, my ADHD was much better when I stayed in a relatively natural setting with only little technology. for a few weeks (I did some programming there though, and boy was I focused in complex problems without medication etc. had one of my best coding sessions there I think). I'm pretty sure that a lot of ADHD but also other psychiatric issues like autism or social anxiety etc. that is diagnosed these days is because of all this unhealthy environment we have created. Or in other words, our modern technology promotes psychiatric issues such as ADHD, autism, social anxiety etc.

I'm guessing it has to do with money laundering/tracking etc.

Not sure what you want to tell me exactly, as the above also applies to Gentoo ...

But I guess as a Gentoo user you have a lot of discipline then?
