Dunno what kind of economic model we'd need if we had star trek -level replication technology.

Just keep Pip away from any cellphones. He goes crazy with them.

Is that better or worse than IT and software projects in general? It sounds like it might be better.

Probably not. Berkshire Hathaway alone is paying like $10B in taxes every year, and that's just the income taxes of one company. Given how the article considers total taxation, you'd have to think about e.g. all the VAT taxes even the rich cannot totally avoid.

Closing all loopholes and making taxation fair is a great goal though.

Getting banned sucks but it's not great form to complain about it publically. You can just block the sub and move on.

I'm glad it worked for you. Things will have to change a bit globally that I would consider a BYD.

Oh right, perhaps already I don't make purchase decisions purely based on the qualities of the car :)

While shopping around for a distro for my gaming box, I tried NixOS and Bazzite. Both were fine, but the atomicity made everything more complicated without any practical upsides for my use case.

So I'm just using Nobara, which is a gaming-optimized Fedora. For my laptop, I'm just using Arch, it's much less hassle. The declarativeness of centralization of NixOS is alluring, but I don't really need it.

I think the silver lining is that he might be too incompetent to actually pull it off, like last time he obviously tried it. Unfortunately, the US judicial or whatever system is also too incompetent to punish him so I guess he just gets to try it again and again until it works.

We might compare Assange's treatment to how Navalny was treated. Assange is not dead and I believe he's about to be freed. And he did actual crimes whereas Navalny's crime was being a political opponent to Putin.

I don't know who or what civilist was.

Fair enough. But then again, if you didn't have that, the campaigns of both sides would employ different strategies, leading to different outcomes.

Glad for Linux going up, but the numbers should really come from Windows more than from MacOS.
