Me? Aaaahahaha lol no. If I can't solve this problem I should also not be put in charge of what happens after the solution, ya know.
As for how to solve it: again, no idea. But that does not remove the fact that it's an actual problem. Another option would be to allow everyone to vote but weigh the votes on what differently, but I'm sure it's just about another flavour of the same intrinsic limitation. But it's defo not something "anti-democratic": for a system to actually represent and help people, it has to somehow prevent them from shoot their own legs off. If the system allows leg chopping, then those who already have an advantage due to more resources, more reach or more entrenched power, are going to have more, not less, of an advantage once legs start chopping.
Vote. No, really. If people actually fucking voted, we wouldn’t be in this mess.
Trump won with the popular vote.
A key element to defeat things like fascism, which build themselves on the popularity of fear, is that voting can't be free-for-all. Voting should require, or be weighed with, some sort of licensing, testing of sane mind, awareness and understanding of at least current events, review of known association with dangerous anti-society parties, etc.
Just because people consume music slop, does not mean that that is a natural demand (given the supply is explicitly artificial, so certainly there's an economic incentive to generate demand), or something they deserve to consume or have to be given to consume (you shit every day; does not imply you want shit).
Increíble, han pasado cinco años. Casi ni me acuerdo dónde estaba ese día, sólo que estaba en auto camino a alguna parte. La verdad en ese tiempo la venía pasando muy mal por unos temas de enfermedad (y por tanto, en este país, de plata) así que puchas ni me acuerdo si la cuestión en esos mismos días o no me hizo alguna gracia.
Las semanas posteriores uno se unió en lo que pudo, la verdad es que pensar en las marchas y ese tipo de cosas suena idílico - ergo, alejado de la realidad. El joven de a pie con "preexistencias" médicas y con siete cuotas por pagar, tenía que pensar primero en no recaer durante el tratamiento antes que en una quest meteórica de heroísmo barroco para destruir y quemar los registros de las deudas médicas, como si mal no recuerdo un político previo a esos tiempos hizo con las deudas estudiantiles.
Así que mucho más no pude participar hasta cuando la cosa se había chacreado al punto que querían poner a la señora juanita a escribir la Nueva Constitución; la verdad, pensé en su momento en candidatearme a Convencional para tratar de desmarañar un poco el cacho, pero cuando vi el modelo de trabajo para la Convención y las propuestas de primera instancia, me cansé (físicamente). Soy demasiado joven, bello y adeudado para andar perdiendo mi tiempo en comités.
Faltó más, creo yo. No necesariamente "acción", manoseada como pollo de supermercado, pero sí más actitud. Más "pararse frente al tanque", o al guanaco si ajustamos para nuestra coyuntura. Más Nico Massú, si se quiere.
Vivo, ahora "algo" más económica y socialmente afianzado, en el Chile de 2024, y se siente fuerte que aún está pendiente desprecarizar a la "clase media". Pienso que, si el estallido se hubiese manejado como se debía, y se hubiese orientado a las personas que sí era necesario aplastar, hoy no estaría mermado por una deuda médica de hace casi una década.
It makes snese they want to distance from the Minecraft name for that. Engendered annoying "but muh Minecraft" expectations, and there's already the Mineclone2 aka Voxelibre "subgame" for grabbing that attention.
Oh no by all means do preach. I was just about doing the same about schroot. :p
And, like I said, it's not that I don't like it. It was just too much for the rather small usecase I had back at the time. I'm pretty sure if at some point I move to a distro less featured than Debian Sid I'm gonna have to pay more attention to Flatpak and Nix again.
I basically took the general idea from this Ubuntu doc and made som changes. After installing debootstrap, I followed these general steps:
set up an user for Steam, with adduser steam.
created a directory to host the "virtual machine" at /var/lib/chroot/steam64.
used the page linked above to create a schroot profile directory with the chroot data I want.
used the page linked above to create a schroot profile entry for the chroot, adding steam as one of its allowed users.
set up an Ubuntu 18.04 schroot with the following command: debootstrap --variant=buildd bionic /var/lib/chroot/steam64 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
on the host, allowed cross-"host" applications to lauch windows with xhost +local:.
once completed, entered the schroot as root and added the needed i386 arch and packages for Steam and for bubblewrap / Chrome containerization.
still in the schroot as root, installed enough packages for a basic graphical environment (basically: a text editor, xnest and xterm; between their dependencies, they'll take care of most of everything).
exited the schroot.
entered the schroot as steam and fired up the Steam launcher manually.
It's not perfect, there are a few issues (in particular with audio) but once I had the installed schroot ready, I never had to worry about its 32-bit packages ever again. And that was back in.... like, 2019 or something. Six months ago I copied to old schroot to my new machine and resumed playing, with no more cost than having to set up the schroot packages and the steam user (with the same old UID) on the new machine.
Here's a sample of the schroot profile file I'm using. The "steam64.local" is the profile directory, which is basically a copy of schroot/buildd (or of schroot/minbase) with some configurations in fstab and copyfiles to account for eg.: isolating /var/run and dbus, and giving the schroot access to the home directory for the steam user.
