It is what the masses engage with, not necessarily what they want. FB have literally done studies into the negative impact this has on people and it's well within the power of these companies to normalise this kind of post. They choose not to because it drives engagement. If they were unaware - that's a different thing, but it's not the case.

Man pages count, right?

I always find you spend the time up front with Linux, mostly. All the issues come at the start but once they're settled it's generally stable.

Why openBSD though?

I mean it's pretty tasty, comfort food for a lot of Brits. It's my dad's fav too, I wouldn't put it in my top 5, but it's comfort food for sure.

What's wrong with bread and butter?!

I spent a little while thinking about this earlier in the year, I had the idea formed more cogently at time but I'll try and put it as best as I remember. Income tax can kind of be restated as a tax on a corporation as a function of the value an individual provides to the company.

This isn't perfect but, I'm a PAYE employee, so the income tax I pay is done so at source. I don't ever see that money. In real terms it makes little difference to me whether I pay zero income tax and the company reduces my salary but pays a fee to the government for the privilege of employing me. The tax rates don't change hugely over time and I'm not on the margins of a tax band, so this mostly holds true for me. My salary and the tax band that puts me in are a proxy for the value I provide to the company (under the assumption I make net positive money for the company).

I feel like an explicit change to codify this is required to allow for the proper taxation of companies undergoing a shift to automation, otherwise it's too easy to domicile profits/wealth elsewhere (as it stands). Even thinking about this now, for knowledge work, how do you tax a company in Germany when the processing is happening on a privacy compliant server in Somalia? Even more stringent data protection and localisation laws? Can your models cross borders? Does that lead to multi-tier AI based on the capabilities of underlying populations and availability of training data?

Generally I'm pro-humans not having to grind to live and I generally see AI/automation as a boon for this - alongside proper taxation and redistribution of wealth, but I'm not sure I've ever seen any good explanation of how the nitty gritty of this functions in the real world.

It's pronounced gpeg

They compete in the Eurovision song contest, close enough.

I think the main reason is it's preinstalled on most PCs and most people have no idea Linux exists let alone how how to install a new OS.

What about Thomas Riker?!

Don't doordash drivers get paid for delivering?
