They excluded housing appreciation from the CPI in the late 80s, created 30 year loans, massive bailouts adding to moral hazard; I agree its neoliberalism, deregulating the money supply growth made people over leverage to profit off the cantillon effect, obviously leading to asset bubbles.

The money supply now grows at 10% a year. People leverage into real estate because housing always goes up as currency goes down. The farther you were born from the gold standard the poorer you will likely be.

With tablets and software its easier than ever to produce and share art, it doesn’t have to be a job any more because its so easy to produce and share, so it becomes a leisure activity. Why protect jobs that don’t need to exist?

Is digital art itself bad, because its not the human doing all of it?

Its a cybersecurity issue so it is inevitable, browser apps are the future because corporations don’t want files sitting on a filesystem, they want to keep them in their enterprise storage. ChromeOS is the future, or something like it.

Or you can always pay for Wine and help it develop. Usually popular applications work well.

Blame loose monetary policy, and QE that pumps money into risk assets. Tesla and Bitcoin have many things in common.
- Comment on OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power 5 days ago:
The interesting thing would be an algorithm that is as close to a duplicate as possible without being so.
It forces laws to be made mathematically I’d assume, or something like that?

Microsoft has an AI store and all the apps are absolute crap. AI is a good Chatbot, but applying it to other things that can be monetized is clearly difficult.

- Comment on Prison slavery 1 week ago:
This is because boomers now consume less, so currency needs to be debased to provide the level of consumption to increase, to match 2% inflation.
The less people consume as demographics age the more repressed the youth will be. It locks up inelastic goods behind massive debt.

People speculate with cheap mortgage debt, nobody is spending their own money.
- Comment on Luxury bones? In *this* economy. 1 week ago:
The further you get from the gold standard the worse it gets. Because debt needs to grow to pay past debt, and mortgage debt is what we use to boost GDP.

I’d prefer a Wiki style software that exports to PDF. Why aren’t we all using wiki’s, with build in version control and diagramming, like Confluence, Youtrack, etc…?

Using what OS, Microsoft Windows I assume?
- Comment on Europe is looking for alternatives to US cloud providers 1 week ago:
Europe broke their own procurement laws to use Microsoft, they have so many own goals they may as well just accept their fate.
