  When this is over, we should just implement UBI, free college, and a higher minimum wage via Presidential Edict.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would the world look like if every worker got together and Unionized for a universale wage that helps everyone? Instead of one country trying to screw over another?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting scale there (all workers unionized versus one country fucking over others), I don’t think they are exclusive.

  It would be better, butnot perfect and with new issues.

  I have started to think of the federal mining wage as “the union of man’s negotiated minimum rate”. All other unions and individuals negotiate from that.

  I just get X-rated results.

  The original;

  And a lean, silent figure slowly fades in the gathering darkness, aware at last that in this world, with great power there must also come – great responsibility!

  …wikipedia.org/…/With_great_power_comes_great_res…

  In retrospect, it was a mistake to shorten it.,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China bans 'smart' and 'autonomous' driving terms from vehicle ads⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Makes sense. Advertising in China should be in local languages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this is not satire this is not satire this is not satire⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you look too Liberal?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No. They can just leave. Anytime one can walk away, it is wrong to destroy or kill.

  They can then prevent us from leaving.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Encrypting data on local servers?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Other options are LUKS with Tang and Clevis, or LUKS with SSH and Dropbear.

  Sorry, I have no details.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horses ARE Forever⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I love that the balloons are far too small. Like they didn’t understand the elements and buoyancy well enough to know the balloons have to be much larger. Not like we have negative mass particles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This 18th Century French Doctor Has a Solution to Oligarchy…⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
