There's a book called Opt-Out from Rory Price about a future where humanity starts using AR more and more to the point that it's almost obligatory to have a device of this kind for everything, even as ID. It then talks about a group that develops a free/libre version of this device's OS and they have to decide about personal issues or try to maintain their views. It's entertaining and not too long, but I think it shows a very possible future.

I haven't heard from its author in some time, but I think they discovered they were someone else too ;), that's why I love this book.

"Can I see the moments when I made other people feel good/better?" or to know what people i helped and how

I don't like to have to press a button, then search for an emoji. Emoticons are faster to write, I mostly use the :), :/, etc.

I changed that in Mastodon, for example. Someone told me that screen readers have trouble reading emoticons, so I mostly use stickers or emojis there.

I don't think they try to be a social media platform, but it is definitely a bad substitute for forums and I dislike anyone who tries to use Discord as a forum alternative.

Nope, but I sometimes feel that the Steam client uses more resources than the games 🤨

Note: I used Community of Earth in case we discover other species, but I'd suggest changing the name according to the interplanetary travel and expeditions

I'm not an expert, but I propose the following:

First and most important

  • h) To Demand their personal data be protected and used only in the conditions mentioned below
  • i) None of the rights and obligations declared above can be overruled, modified or eliminated without the consent of the 100% of the population of the Community of Earth.
  1. Every individual has the right to be recognized by any entity, organization, individual or any group of individuals that need to use their information
  2. Every individual's identity and characteristics can't be damaged, abolished or affected in any way that invalidates their right to be recognized as they wish
  • a) All individuals and groups of individuals have to follow consent obligations, which can't be abolished nor modified unless they have the recognition of the entire Community of the Earth
  • b) There is no way, path, reform or modification that may affect the rights of the Community of Earth to vote
  1. All the individuals have the right to form organizations, which may be completely transparent in their financial background and members.

  • b) Organizations proclaiming an expert base to have a vote in the Community of Earth decisions have to follow the Third Right
  • c) Organizations can be overruled and stop being recognized according to the Community of Earth decisions

Second. Right of decision making for the Community of Earth

  1. Expert entities are those that have an extensive, recognized and valid knowledge recognized by the Community of Earth, in the area they intend to be recognized as experts
  2. Any organization participating as an expert entity for the Community of Earth, included but not limited to: Rights, Economics, Knowledge, Spacial, Exploring, Architectural, Transport and other kinds of entities that may affect the Community of Earth as a whole have to adhere to the following rights and obligations:
  • a) Decisions have to be based on facts. Decisions can't be influenced by religion, moral, personal or any other kind of influence that is not based on facts.
  • b) Decisions and propositions have to be completely open to the Community of Earth, if hidden, organizations are subject to the Sxith Right rights and obligations.

  2. Architectural and Urban design decisions are made by the several Architectural, Urban Design, Civil Engineer and housing and urban design organizations recognized by the Community of Earth
  3. Every individual may be provided housing with good living conditions, following their necessities

Fifth. Worker's Rights

I mean, the basics and, you know, Marx propositions lol

Sixth. Right of Punishment and Redemption

i haven't decided yet, but the Norwegian proposition sounds good and, with all basics needs met, it may not be necessary to be so strict. But there are still other things to be clear and I already spent too much time writing this

Seventh. Right of Exploration and Transport

  1. Pedestrians and cyclists will always be the priority
  2. Any vehicle that may be sold, interchanged, modified, gifted or any other kind of exchange, designed for private transport, has to follow the following obligations:

  1. Public and massive transport vehicles can only be acquired after the revision, auditory and recognition of the several urban, environmental and other organizations selected by the Community of Earth.

And i don't know, I'm a Free Software advocate so that too has to be considered. Any way, I have more ideas, but not the time

I always see people saying Google provides better results, but to me it's awful. I don't even use DDGO anymore, but Google only shows ads and SEO optimized results that look AI generated. Is this common or am I just an isolated case?

[-] not_amm@beehaw.org 9 points 1 year ago

I think that the main problem is that companies keep getting revenue even if actors don't. Book writers don't stop earning money just because they wrote their book 5 years ago, and yes, they don't win money for reselling, but companies like Amazon and their editorials will keep earning money because of their work, so why shouldn't the writers earn money?

If your work isnt being streamed or sold, well, you won't see much. But still, you signed a contract, like the old perpetual pensions.

I'd be more comfortable with physical contact. I'm NB, but most people still perceive me and treat me as a man (even though I've said many times that I'm not) and that comes with the stigma of keeping distance.

I also love to play with LEGOs, it's kind of therapeutical I guess. It's just me, talking about random things. It's the same with videogames, I mostly play RPGs, but it isn't as "weird".

BTW, while I'm non-binary, I'm still involved in man's problems because I live them for my appearence. I also help some male friends with their problems with masculininty and feminism, so they don't end up being redpilled alpha sigma males lol

I finally feel alive again. I lost my pet some weeks ago and it devastated me, but I have a new dog that came before she left me and I have to care for him and my chihuahua too.

I also wasn't sure how I would survive all the time I have to spend on my faculty (my schedule is horrible) and the lack of attention span I have, but yesterday I went to the library and studied a little bit, I've been understanding Algebra topics and haven't missed much homework. I'm managing to organize everything I need and, even if next time I won't, I've been helping to organize an important event for my career.

Life hit me, but I'm recovering.

I love troubleshooting, even though I complain a lot about it, I still do it.

That doesn't mean that I use systems that require high maintenance like Arch Linux, but openSUSE doesn't have the same support as other known Linux distributions, so I sometimes have to adapt to the options I have, like using containers or compiling for my system.

I also like to provide support for people and help family/friends with whatever they need, tech-related or not.

It may sound silly, but a lot of family (whom I try to avoid) always tell me to charge for the things I do, but I like to help and even donate a lot of things when I can. I also have been trying to give back to the FOSS community. To me it's like a hobby, and money isn't everything.
