I give it 5 hours from mass release before ad blockers catch up.

I so badly want to see her wipe the floor with him, but now sadly the popcorn I bought in anticipation will have to settle for a movie.

As I already said, we’re not going to be able to get rid of the sociopaths. It’s a mental disorder, by chance and or trauma. They’ll always be with us, barring some genetic engineering that borders on eugenics. That’s not the point.

The point is to make them the minority, and have a system where everyone isn’t forced to act like them in order to succeed.

I’ve already stated a potential option. Capitalism on its own is technically a purely neutral economic system, provided it’s ONLY the economic system. We have expanded that system into our society as well, and that’s when it becomes toxic.

Use a capitalist economy, but strapped and locked down by socialist (true socialist, not the USSR or communist) principles and systems. Ensure that if capitalism has social effects, they’re extremely minor, and elevate the good of people above that of capital. Socialism Strapped Capitalism.

Good inroads to this are things like UBI, a maximum income, and ensuring social and environmental effects are included in corporate financial calculations.

Thank you for being my first block here, you galactic brain simpleton, you ;)

Thanks for your reasonable reply and question! As for what I love about UI, it’s simple;

I don’t have to remember what to enter, just the pathway to get there.

With command line, you have to remember commands, arguments, syntax, and gods forbid you enter something wrong. It won’t work.

But with a (decently designed) UI, you merely have to remember the path you took to get to wherever you want to go, what buttons to press, what mouse movements to execute.

As someone with a limited attention span and energy to do things, this is a lifesaver.

As for Visual Studio, that’s a development preference. Code is too different for me to be comfortable in it, and relies on command line too much.

I’ll switch to Linux when Visual Studio Community (NOT Code) works on it and I never have to touch the command line ever again.

It’s worse. Certain economic and social systems are designed to make the only viable, or most viable, survival strategy to be a sociopath or worse. Most people are forced to cosplay that at some level in these systems, whether they have those traits naturally or not, in order to survive. And despite human nature being communal, it’s more powerful in survival adaptation.

I’m morbidly curious as to when you think capitalism started, considering your take here :V

Hint: it was fire

That’s not the problem. The problem isn’t the people willing to exploit the system. They’re the sociopaths in question that capitalism is designed to help succeed.

The problem is, everyone else has to cosplay them in order to survive. And human nature, despite being communal, is more powerful than that in only one way; survival adaptation.

Our species will adapt as hard as it has to in order to survive, no matter what.

In a capitalist system (mind you, societal as well as economic, socialism strapped capitalism might actually work very well), because the best survival strategy is to be a sociopath or worse, most people will be forced to do so to at least some level.

Change the system, change the outcome.

Why would I lay one on you if you can’t lay

It’s almost like capitalism is designed to make sociopathy the more successful survival strategy

The Delorean is on the sheet, so it’s available, and I’m taking it.

I’ll take the castle too, since being landed gentry is one of the best ways to survive back then.

That sounds all kinds of highly illegal and I cannot wait for the delicious lawsuit

Everybody else? Roll for Initiative.

Anybody got a TL:DR?

For anyone who is unaware, Firefox developer edition on mobile, otherwise known as Firefox nightly, never lost the ability to arbitrarily install extensions. You just need to make your own collection on the Firefox website, and link it in the settings on your phone.

I recommend Chromium Ungoogled if you can’t let go of the Chromium ecosystem for some reason. It’s an open source fork of Chromium and puts pretty much all the power in the users’ hands, so much so that to get certain features to even work you have to configure it. It is also fully compatible with the Chrome app store, if you want it to be.

No, they’re MetaPhrastes

I’ve been having trouble understanding how the docker-compose thing works, and the whole… impermanence of docker containers. Got any tutorials you’d recommend? Note I’m on Windows.

What really hurts so much about this is that Reddit is effectively a modern Alexandrian Library, and it’s burning. There’s so much content there that’s vitally important and it could all go up in smoke. Anybody know any full archival projects?
