Leaving a thank you for the information of another option. And FOSS.

I agree.

I honestly hope so. Until that day, we do not know. Hopefully, you will set the example

This reads to me like you’re assuming I’d be a class traitor until proven otherwise, and I don’t like that.

I so deeply despise the use of “class” as if it as any meaning or use besides forcibly dividing people into societal boxes.

Until proven otherwise, you will strictly adhere to your principles and ideals. Like or not, is up to you. I don’t exist to gain your unwavering approval.

Shit. I am? Why?

Sorry, it sounded like you were defending billionaires as if they actually earned their wealth. I’m glad to be wrong, but you do continue to sound like a liberal

I risk we do not share the same understanding of what being liberal entails. I consider myself a liberal individual. But being politically liberal seems to be a charged connotation nowadays.

It’s easy to just shout out loud, when everyone else already is as well

Why do you assume I didnt start until it became trendy? I quit Facebook and Amazon a decade ago, and have been consistently putting my freedom and safety on the line in furtherance of my leftist values for just as long.

Quit FB I don’t even remember when and I have a serious distrust towards Amazon.

I can’t disagree on that.

So you’re not arguing that the upper class isn’t evil, you were just under the assumption that I’m an all-talk idealist or something?

I can’t disagree that multi-million/billion/trillion fortunes should be dissipated and returned fully into the economic and social fabric. You still may be. I don’t know you.

Even Marx was a man of his time: his daughters were educated to play the piano, draw and sing, like any middle class girl of the time. While at the same time, his work heavily criticized society and social norms has it stood.

It’s a tall price to pay to truly embody an ideal.

Unfortunately, at the moment, very far from being attainable

I’m gonna keep doing praxis anyway.

Keep on that trail.

Let’s say you have a big success tomorrow and you manage to amass a great fortune. Are you going to give it away? Are you going to do something with your newly found wealth to truly change something for better?

Yes??? Of course I would?

I honestly hope so. Until that day, we do not know. Hopefully, you will set the example.

The top three wealth holders in the planet are there because people allowed it. Facebook was just so groudbreaking, so innovative, so useful to connect to people. Amazon is just so convenient, so easy to use. And electric cars never existed before.

Ohhhh, you’re a capitalist

Shit. I am? Why?

They were enabled and still are by the same people that cry today against them. If the notion of true equality really existed, the moment those individuals started becoming too big, people would remove trust and start demanding them to do good, tangible good, for others.

That’s literally what myself and many others are doing? Except in my opinion they are evil until they intentionally drop their net worth to the single digit millions and transfer their companies to the workers who actually made them what they are today

I can’t disagree on that.

What you are doing, by taking that position, is just subscribing to the current social model. That’s not even a criticism; it’s joining the band wagon.

Lmao, I’m an anarchist, not a liberal on a band wagon

It’s easy to just shout out loud, when everyone else already is as well.

I personally like the anarchist proposal: a flat society, without classes. Unfortunately, at the moment, very far from being attainable.

We’re just exchanging ideas here and you brought up a very good point.

But it made think that by contrast, in Africa, several ethnic groups coexist and language was not that big of a concern for conflict.

Having more developers natively release for Linux implies removing influence from Windows and making more people realize it is a viable option for daily computer use.

It’s not just about gaming at this point, it’s about changing an entire paradigm and erode monopolies.

Can you imagine a Linux “monopoly” on personal computers? The dumb discussions about using Arch, Fedora, Debian or Suse? It would only be hot air escaping mouths because under the hood every development on one side is feeding improvement into the entire ecosystem.

What you are doing, by taking that position, is just subscribing to the current social model. That’s not even a criticism; it’s joining the band wagon.

I’m not directly conected with english speaking countries so that example always evades me but you’re right.

The scottish also had it bad with the english as well. And some time back I read a news report on how a man had been insulted in a train for not speaking english, in London. He was speaking welsh…

Racism picks on any small thing to rise divergence, usually something the target of it can’t change. But anything works.

It wildly depends on who you ask, so don’t waste your praise on me.

None.

Racism, as we all (should) know is skin shallow. That is enough. Not being of the “right” color establishes that an individual has no rights, no freedoms, and in extremes cases, not even humanity.

Classism is just a reviewed version of the cast system. Where you are born on the social pyramid dictates your fate. Born poor, die poor.

None are tolerable. All human beings are born equal.

Glass is recycleable to infinity. The greatest issue that used to exist was the colourants added to tint the glass. Nowadays, to my knowledge, with enough temperature and chemical correction the tint can be removed. Even windshields can be recycled nowadays; no plastic survives after being put to a kiln thousands of degrees hot.

Plastics can be reused. Even if we start with PEHD, crushed, melt it down, and the end plastic is of lesser quality, the biggest problem is finding a new use for that weaker material.

How about paper, glass and high density plastics?

And if wasn’t for negative propaganda, pyrolotic incineration would deal with the gross majority of non recyclables.

That is pure laziness of whoever is responsible for puting the bags there.

Either there is a support bracket for two separate bags on the underside if that lid or the trash bin originally had two separate buckets that were taken away.

Thumbs up for that reply. Pure gold.

Although always in favour of destruction by fire, I don’t think the original poster would enjoy that.

Can I humbly sugest to exchange the screws of the fan for a new set and perhaps add a little O-ring to it, to absorb extra vibration?

Because that is a hack (and a fine one, as it seems to fix the issue) but it is not a solution!

What I find funny about the crypto currency concept was that it was originally devised - to what I know - to replace conventional money, under governmental control. But it quickly came the notion that for any crypto currency to hold value it had to be capable of being exchanged by the convention money it was meant to replace. Thus came the crypto markets, which in all emulate the conventional stock exchange markets (or FOREX, pick your poison), where huge chunks of wealth change hands with no real backing.

A crypto currency, in my opinion, needs to be viewed as a viable means of exchange in order to have value. If I sow potatoes and decide to sell them for crypto, that I can use next to get a massage or a second hand laptop, then a crypto has value. If nobody is using crypto to buy service or goods, then crypto is worth… nothing.

If an entire parallel economy bloomed around crypto - any crypto - that would make more strides to truly shake governments than anything else.

Because I’m currently putting some effort to advance a story I’m working on and I have a playlist for miid setting, that would be it.

And it’s mostly reggae, from the more classical to present day creation.

Fossify Keyboard

Enough for my needs. No autocorrect function, which helps me practice my written English. The clipboard function is interesting, as it allows for instant copied text or fixed text, but I seldom use it.

If someone is about to tell me a joke and start laughing mid first sentence it’s a sign that is either going to be very good or so bad it will become good.

Let them laugh!
