  … Unless you put your own OS on it? Think that’s still possible in 2024, right?

  Norway is actually a good example of this, from what (little) I know about the place – where pro-social regulatory policies (i.e. beneficial not from the perspective of capital, but from the perspective of actual societal conditions) are used to help mitigate some of the BS that capitalism produces.

  Regardless… Yeah, it’s a problem with capitalism. It’s a problem that stems from the literal core of the ‘system’: utilizing ‘capital’ to create opportunities for the creation and extraction of ‘surplus’ from labor and its products. It’s great that regulation is able to reign in, in some cases, the deeply criminal BS that such a system naturally produces… But it seems like a huge overreach to assume this is possible “globally” (as it would need to be for a blanket statement like that to be true).

  AliExpress too, to some extent, depending on what it is. Usually has “direct from the mainland” shipping, though.

  It almost feels like a misalignment between our general needs for computing resource development, and the incentive structures produced by using capitalist economic markets to distribute even basic goods for survival…

  … Doesn’t “limited resources” actually just mean here ones ability to consider more than one thought at a time? Surely a species capable of collaborative efforts like space travel can handle the complexity of “no, sorry, none of the human-bulldozer designs are okay actually”?
