Economics say that technological advances hurt those displaced for a short period of time but the entire rest of the economy improves and the displaced people are smart enough to find other jobs in the new economy with higher standard of living…

Unless the value created never makes it back to the economy…

Testosterone is a hormone. Excess testosterone causes heart issues. (I am not familiar all with current steroids). Injecting crap into eyes can easily cause damage. Ametur surgery has a lot of scarring. Deaths from feedback loops of a diabetic coma with artificial kidneys happen. There is a lot of risk with “bio hacking” and a lot of “supplements” are either dangerous or snake oil

My understanding is people who make hardware upgrades to their body:

• ametur surgery to add a magnet to your index finger
• taking eye enzymes from cave fish and injecting it into a friends eye rk get short term super night vision
• attaching two prosthetic legs that makes you run faster and longer
• open source hardware and software for an artificial pancreas

Stuff like that

I just saw a link to this

Perhaps your l8nux can cast as well?

I bought the rii remote/controller/keyboard/mouse, a raspberry pi 4 8gb, a 4k micro HDMI, a rpi4 power cord, a 64gb micro SD card, rpi4 case with fan. I then attached it to my TV with some zip ties and a L brace

• I installed rasbian 64bit.
• I installed steam link (have to go to tty command line to have it work though because bullseye doesn’t have previous buster driver support yet
• I installed kodi > Plex addon
• I installed kodi > YouTube addon
• I installed kodi > jellyfin add-on with repository
• I didn’t trust the sketchy “add my repository to download and install”. Disney plus on kodi, so I made a shortcut to the browser with that site
• I made a shortcut to Netflix browser.

It isn’t the same as " any phone controls sound and playback" like a chromcast, but it is private and it is better than Chromecast (higher resolution and framerate, and streams/remotelycontrols local beefy gaming computers) in some ways.

Do you know of a RPI app with a fdroid counterpart that allows clicks from a LAN smartphone?

I said this in a different post’s comments about Facebook scraping data:

Can activity pub change it’s terms to say that all crawlers that use this must be gnu open sources and all information crawled must be open to the public on gnu open sources software (no crawling to a private enterprise)?

My understanding is all the big tech companies are scared of what happened with router software (openwrt) and they don’t want to be forced to let competition be a foss community via gnu licensing.

Lol, I am the opposite.

• Teams feels bloated and buggy.
• Zoom is fast, can handle 100+ streams with ease, and allows mods/plugins to extend as far as you want, and
• on zoom you can draw on the other person’s screen while sharing.
• On zoom, when a meeting starts I have a “incoming call sound” so I drop what I am doing and jump on the meeting. (I can’t install on my work compy though… Sigh)

Teams has not implemented those basic features.

Meta is a rebranding to draw attention away from whistleblowers. Universes with people creating and collaborating is called modded videogames with low barriers to coding (Minecraft, Skyrim, etc.). Taking it into VR with vendor lock in is Facebook’s only hope.

The bill requires that manufacturers of electronics and appliances make parts, repair tools, and documentation available to the general public, for devices first sold on or after July 1, 2021. For devices costing between $50 and $99.99, manufacturers must provide repair access for at least three years after the product is no longer manufactured; for those costing more than $100, that number rises to seven years. In its letter, Apple lists a few bill provisions that were crucial for the company’s support, including language that clearly states manufacturers only have to offer the public the same parts, tools, and manuals available to authorized repair partners, and the bill’s exclusive focus on newer devices.

The support is equal to cutting the teeth off the bill.

• all parts for repair have to be through apple
• all repairs need to be done in based on official channel (official software probably because that is “authorized”)
• the bill only applies to new models, and only for the support period of 3 years.

Or some garbage like that that I am missing. The same thing was done when we didn’t want isps to control the net and coined the term “net neutrality” then the isps rebranded it to mean isp controls if you are neutral on the net… Sigh.

Cpp is a misspelling of the acronym Chinese Communist party aka CCP.

Acid migraines are the worst if your family has a history of ulcers or acid reflux. Tums is 10x better that Pepto if that is the cause.

Those are the rose colored glasses that my wife uses. They are a general light preventative. (She can “relax” in public). Also concert earplugs like “eargasm” are something that allow focusing through the pain.

Sometimes nerve pain in the legs like sciatic can contribute as well. If you have weird “someone hit my funnybone” pain in your legs then you could look into neural flossing. Sometimes the pain in the legs cause tension all over which makes a migraine until everything resets.

Good luck!

Ehh, it could sound that way (green washing). I remember an article from 1 or 2 years ago where Microsoft did a “pilot” test of this and the general consensus is that in a datacenter

• while you fix part a you break part b of the identical server next to it.
• Moore’s law means that every 5 years or so you spend more on electricity and storage than you would for the smaller more efficient hardware
• having 0 human interaction and 0 added dust and 0 oxygen and the ocean at 40 decrees farenheight meant that no additional cooling required. (Maybe some cpu airflow to the external 40° air)

Time (and investments) will tell if this is the solution to costly land based air heat pumps to cool datacenters with human interactions.

My understanding is that they take a data center rack, stick it in a metal tube, then replace all the oxygen with an inert gas like argon, then sink to the bottom of the ocean. I think seawater is only exposed to the outside low tech metal.

Tums. (If it is indigestion caused). Rose colored glasses

But without oxygen and with fewer vibrations from cooling, they last 5years longer with no maintenance.

My slice is my mess. The slices owned by corps are theirs (and maybe the people who confuse their identities with them)

Based on that, there is no “q&a” type of Fediverse software (a clear answer and a clear “voted best” answer).

Stack overflow had a huge number of “mod tools” to help curate the content (gold nuggets) given. They did not do the step of aggregating content (gold ingots) like Wikipedia has. The marking as duplicate could and should be tempered by “due diligence” or “age of the last time this was asked”, but how it is implemented is up to them.

Some of you should try

I think by “some of you” you mean “heavy printer users”, and if so I agree.

The typical use case for most folks is infrequent (maybe print 100 pages 1 month and 1 page each month otherwise or less) and works when you want to use it.

The two features you describe do add value, but are anti features when an in

I haven’t engaged in long form debates in years. This is fun for me too.

The fundamental unit of Capitalism, the thing that drives everything, are Capitalists (investors) investing their capital (Money) with the intention of receiving a return on their investment (more money than they invested). … People who are not capitalists in capitalism are workers.

The idea that investors are the only “capitalists” and workers have no ability to leverage their assets (time, money, health, etc.) to get more return (work less or more luxury) is a little flimsy:

• Every person in any government/land/time (including workers in capitalism) has had scarce resources that they had to allocate in order to better their life. Scarce resources like health/time, calories, fair weather, the merchant is in town for only x days, etc.
• Haggling, inventing, and working with tools have existed in every society (including capitalist ones) for the last few millennia.

under capitalism the only way that a worker can have a decent standard of living is through selling their time to a capitalist enterprise

Hard disagree there. I see two assumptions there:

• decent standard of living
• the only way … is through selling their time

Regarding a decent standard of living, 200 years ago the greatest of kings couldn’t have imagined indoor plumbing. Food that keeps basically forever in a small package? Well it is probably jerky or poison or in a plastic wrapper. Food that keeps after you cook it? It must be in an ice box. We are living above the class of kings but we have tunnel vision due to a hedonic treadmill. Some people take up hobbies to remind themselves of just how luxurious daily life is: camping.

Regarding the only way, tunnel vision occurs when all known generations have followed the same path. For example, if your dad was a farmer, your grandpa was a farmer, and all of your friends are farmers, would you think of becoming a train engineer as you grew up? No? What about if the crops didn’t do well when you are about to get married, would you start thinking about train engineering? Probably no as well. But if the crops do poorly and you move to the big city to try to find your fortune, you might stumble on a classified ad for train engineering.

• Right now, we have immense pressures for de-urbanization where we migrate back to the farms where there is no “enterprise”, but as a society, we had a generation and a half with blue collar jobs, then a generation and a half with white collar jobs, and nobody remembers the brown collar jobs (also technology in agriculture is such that a farmer with tech is doing 1000 the work of farmers with only livestock, so perhaps we should start our own businesses where we are).
• Right now, to start your own business, there is a lot of risk. The chance of someone suing your pants and shirt off is percieved to be high. Years ago, you were an apprentice for a few years, you started your own business as a journeyman, then you were declared a master by your guild (if you were in the city) so you would be spending ~3/4 of your life as a business owner. I don’t know of many business owners other than plumbers, contractors, local restaurants, and landlords (renting out basements). I have tunnel vision and when I try to break out and plan starting a business, people around me get anxiety worse than me.

only due to the nature of capitalism would labor saving technology be a threat

Labor saving technology is always a threat to the status quo especially so because it calls into question society’s assumptions. The worker (numerous and easily isolated) feels the anxiety from threats to the status quo the most as there is the most uncertainty (isolation increases uncertainty). The investor who doesn’t do his due diligence is soon parted from his money, so he is constantly doing market research, labor research, and assessing competition (or delegating this to CEOs, external auditors, and other decision making management).

So what are the assumptions in society regarding economics (management of scarce resources like time, money, food, energy, etc.)?

Capitalism (where all individuals are owners of scarce resources) incentivizes people with promises of future stability (pay to be specialized, then be paid in increased wages). Socialism/communism (where community/governments are owners of scarce resources incentivizes people with promises of “taking care of you”. <u> I think this is the crux of the argument. </u> If AI (or any technological advancement that could save time) advances at a sufficient rate that voids the economic assumptions behind most of society:

1. an individual can increase their capture of value via specialization,
2. an individual can invest scarce resources freely into growth/innovation due to the implied promise of future stability, etc.

then there will be unrest until people adjust to match the new normal of society’s assumptions.

Every theory I have explored on this subject has used the assumption that “effort is adverse” therefore some kind of payment must be made in order to incentivize more than zero effort from someone. When workers expend effort, they look for ways to not have to expend as much. Workers with no incentive to work more efficiently will not do any inventing/innovation.

I think that one of the primary causes of rapid growth is the application of the scientific method to everything. We have statistics (probability), engineering, etc. all growing at lightning rates (compared to the millennia long agricultural revolution). One of the ways that worked to prevent power consolidation was death of those in power and a subsequent war of succession. We currently have LLCs that are owned over multi generations with boards of directors and CEOs that are increasingly proficient at power consolidation (governmental, monetary, environmental, health, etc.). My one final thought is from the bible: Isaiah 5:8

Woe to you who add house to house and join field to field till no space is left and you live alone in the land.

The context as i understand it is Isaiah is speaking about people merging lands & businesses and wealth then producing almost nothing with it. I think that mega corporations are leaving no space left for an inheritance, and shortly they will produce nothing and fall.
