Well in any case I’m here and not there and when that happens there won’t be money to go to some magical car free place. We have winter here and the groceries are 20 km away. There is no bus, no taxi and not even uber. Not that I would have the 60 bucks a ride would cost. Of course I would also lose my job which 60km away.

So deer slug to the brain will be the prescription.

It isn’t a negociation. If some bureaucrat ticks that box, it will just be the end.

I don’t think I could afford to be homeless in SK.

I’m curious for something more sophisticated that dns blocks. Something that modifies the content on the fly like, ublock, dark reader and sponsorblock.

Sure but the second I lose my mobility I will put a deer slug through my head.

Can I block youtube ads with a transparent proxy like squid ? What about a self-hosted youtube auto-downloading queue list ? I’m fine with .mp4 files !

This always going to happen when a small group of people are going to try and the communications of a much larger group. They cannot scale and the more they try to keep up, the more tgey will cut corners and take easy, lazy decision.

Instead, everyone has to participate in community self-moderation. It should all be transparent and optionnal. Local sorting algorithms showing users what they ask to see.

Having a secret vanguard operating in the shadows is not acceptable,. Not only ut hurts them until they grow big enough to be the efficient secret police but then it creates an underlying organization of control shaping discourse on the entire platform.

The way forward is NOT to be reddit with extra steps.

I always wanted to take drugs with my computer!

I think this kind of artificial demand creation is the main driver for all resource consumption

Ever since the crisis of over production, MAJOR, unceasing psycho-social campaign have been continuously been running not just to foster demand but to ensure it exceeds the planned supply and ensure the price margin always remains on the right side of the curve.

This is the central reason why nearly everyone works ceaselessly to buy things they don’t need and dont have the time nor energy to use.

Also capitalism’s need for infinite growth has lead us to impose engineered “demand creation” (through advertising) and now even “growth hacking” to supercharge this process. It has made us more wasteful than ever. We are headed into a wall.

That profit comes from externalizing pain to others while capturing their livelihoods.

To call not doing that “voluntary waiving parts of your salary” is incredibly manipulative.

First these people aren’t salaried, they’re mercenaries, and of course their “compensation structure” ensures they’re largely free of the tax burden that the people they prey on have to endure.

Second, just because you can do sonething doesn’t mean it’s the rigth thing to do. Not that these people have had a moral belief once in their lives.

It is reallt aberrant all the evils that have been laundered in the name if money.

I think the better question is why do we allow these sick individuals to carelessly wield chainsaws around us?
