Because it’s funnier that way

I misread your tone cause of the way the other person reacted to my joke, apologies

Not with the stars though right?

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how to rephrase socialist ideals as capitalist bills for the sake of America.

I want to propose a “Proof of Economic Viability Bill” somewhere if I can find the right influence point.

Basically, financial advisors suggest that people should pay no more than 30% of their income towards living expenses. Knowing that the vast majority of Americans only have income from their primary job, this means that any business should be expected to pay no less than 30% of their income, evenly divided across the entire workforce (cart pusher to CEO), as a “living expense allotment” to prove they can afford to pay their workers enough to live and stay afloat. This will push out companies who are doomed to fail because of a lack of available workforce, allowing more economically viable options to reign king.

Edit to add: you can make this sound a little nicer to the maga crowd by telling them they can reduce wages by doing this. I don’t necessarily care that you’re paying minimum wage as long as you can afford to put your worker in a home and fill their stomach.

Take control of your data. Host your own email or use a provider that cares about your privacy.

We talk about this so often in privacy communities because, although emails are particularly difficult to secure, they’re so important. Swapping your email provider or hosting your own is so easy to say and so hard to do, but so worth doing. I would suggest taking some steps towards FLOSS/FOSS and other privacy-friendly options in other areas first to get used to the idea of change and some of the difficulties you’ll handle in that realm

Spend 5 minutes creating a bash script

Spend 5 billion dollars on an overly complicated summarizer

Why the fuck would I wanna write bash

for( int i = 0; i < 10; i ++)

This reads as “assign an integer to the variable I and put a 0 in that spot. Do the following code, and once completed add 1 to I. Repeat until I reaches 10.”

Int I = 0 initiates I, tells the compiler it’s an integer (whole number) and assigns 0 to it all at once.

I ++ can be written a few ways, but they all say “add 1 to I”

I < 10 tells it to stop at 10

For tells it to loop, and starts a block which is what will actually be looping

Edits: A couple of clarifications

He told them which AI he used to make the entire codebase. I’d bet it’s way easier to RE the “make a full SaaS suite” prompt than it is to RE the code itself once it’s compiled.

Someone probably poked around with the AI until they found a way to abuse his SaaS

I recently picked up a factory job where I have to push heavy ass carts around all night. I’ve been thinking about Sisyphus a lot lately, but I know that if I get past this part the job turns into an idle game so that’s cool

I went and grabbed some content but I’m not gonna lie to you I hit my 33 hour mark for consecutive consciousness and died. Gonna go throw up a few posts now that I’m a human being again

What you’re describing is just a higher level of autonomy. If I remember correctly, you’re describing level 3 whereas Tesla’s are level 2. I believe VW made a level 3 proof of concept mini bus back around 2020 but the legislation doesn’t allow for the sensors in the road yet because… Oh that’s right. A level 2 car manufacturer owns like half the world right now which means nobody is allowed to innovate or do better than him. Huh, that sucks.

Robot parts

Why are we taking this so seriously? I don’t want to actually be the Borg. I want to be a socialist cyborg, and that’s what I meant in my first comment

Edit: okay I totally did say “I’d be a Borg” but I meant a socialist cyborg. My bad

It’s still Sunday somewhere. I’m on it.

I almost feel like you’re intentionally avoiding what I’m actually saying. I am not praising the Borg as an exemplar of a good society. I am saying that they happen to have one aspect that is also present in what would be a good society. In my first comment I acknowledged that what they do is not okay, and then jokingly compared assimilation to socialism because it has 2 similar properties. I oversimplified for the sake of a joke. You’re being an ass for no reason over a joke about cyborgs being kind of similar to socialism. The joke used the Borg as a subject but literally any cyborg lifeform would fit the bill because the mechanical parts provide the sustenance and protection the worker needs.

So? Can’t the Borg also be socialist? We have multiple capitalist groups right here in real life

At what point did I mention anything about the hive mind being a good thing? The only thing I praised was the fact that the hive provides homes and sustenance for its workers

I’m not talking about the method they use to work, I’m talking about the methods they use to facilitate that work. They provide their workers with homes and sustenance. I would expect to put entertainment on that list too if they weren’t cyborgs

Electric motors have high torque at low RPM

For anyone scrolling by and curious about this, this is caused by the combination of physical and electrical resistance. In a typical engine, RPM and torque go up together because it requires more force to get to those higher RPMs (IIRC this is called positive correlation). In a circuit, you have to kind of convince the electricity that it would be better off somewhere else (by connecting to a ground, this is due to electrical resistance), so you have to give it a heavy upfront load to get it going which causes a lot of torque due to the physical resistance

I’m stealing that quote, that’s fuckin fantastic. If you came up with that, kudos

mfker I didn’t set a time, hopefully the other guy reminds me at a better time
