  • Its the same config file designed in the exact same way. The only difference is on Arch the user may know how their system fits together but they very well may not.

    Or maybe I can agree with “more configurable” if I shift my perspective of configuration to be taking a default and adding/removing. Because arch users will add a lot of things and pre configured distros wont need to add as many things and maybe that means more configuration is happening. Even though both users can theoretically add and remove the same amount.

    Sports gambling is so fun though. If I cant catch the fight I can just put $100 on my favorite fighter and its the same satisfaction as if I watched it live. If I dont think my favorite fighter will win I can put $1000 on him losing and it softens the pain of seeing him getting slimed out cold.Plus you basically get paid to gamble.





  • This feels like a bit of a contradiction. AI is good for healthcare tree planting and lifeguarding but a retail robot is capitalism gone to far. I dont buy the idea that this is purely driven by capitalism and corporate greed because it neglects the fact that these robots are currently way more expensive than human labor. This is emerging technology and what we are seeing here is a partnership between two companies to start realworld testing a new tech. They dont expect it to be better or more cost effective its R&D. We would expect to see the same in every single effective economic system because its just a basic human development process. Maybe a decade down the line when these become more cost effective than human labour you could say they’re replacing human labour for profit but we arent there or even close to there. Then even when we get to that future reality where your comment now makes sense its still not the result of captialism, every half decent economic system would cashiers with robots if they were good enough.

    As for the bit about there being no protection from the big scary captial class, we do have protection it’s called a government. Capitalism and public regulation aren’t mutually exclusive. If the need to increase tax and welfare arises then we can do that within our current system but the reality is there is still a normal amount of employment available for humans considering we’re entering a world recession.

    Hopefully I was interpreting your point correctly, if I wasnt please let me know because it was a bit chaotic.



  • I am on the same side of the issue as this author and I should be reading this and agreeing. But I disagree with nearly every statement, god this is such a bad essay. I think it does a terrible job of making its case.

    The cherry on top for me is the author making a fucking RSS reader… I swear people in this space do not understand why its dying. They keep doing the same things over and over again instead of trying to actually fill the gaps. The solutions back then were solutions for the time, we can take them and improve them.
