If that’s what they want to vote for, let them vote for a low minimum wage🤷‍♂️

Blue States shouldn’t have to be held back because Red States are too busy fighting culture wars to tackle actual problems.

Just use Codeberg

Just use a separate boot for games

Just do it on a per-State level. That way blue states can push their minimum wage up without having to worry about pandering to red states. There is a reason we are a federation if States.

Isn’t this against the 10th amendment?

Isn’t the US a net exporter of oil? Why does this cause US gas prices to go up?

If it is something that can be dismantled by one man, it never existed in the first place.

Isn’t that against the 10th amendment? Or am I misunderstanding?

I am seeing from these comments that my proposed solution was pretty naïve. I intended this blog post to be a sort of thought experiment to challenge assumptions made about the web pre-AI rather than my thought up technical solution to be the main focus.

I might go back and re-write some of this post to gear the focus more towards my main points of the social contract between bot and human shifting (especially with copyleft/ShareAlike), the web becoming less “open”, how this is not a new idea since the DMCA already considers standards for automated access, etc.

Its a link to my blog post:

Is the link not working?

That is such a myopic view of religion. Not everyone who is a Muslim “maintains inequality” and “is barbaric”. I am not a Muslim myself, but there are many Sufi saints whose poetry I read as I find their philosophy and interpretation of Islam to be very eye-opening. Any religion can be used as a means of love or hate.

This will be solved as class conflicts are solved. When people are not in a survivalist mindset, they can focus on the spirituality and philosophy aspects of religion rather than the rules and fundamentalism.

Look at how the Islamic State functions in the UAE vs Afghanistan for example. The problem isn’t an “uncivilized Islam”. Almost all problems in society can be boiled down to class struggles.

I was almost done writing my blog post addressing the same issue! I’ll give this a read to make sure I don’t re-say anything you did. The state site generator I use (Hugo) also looks very similar to yours lol.

I have found more websites refuse to load with Mullvad VPN than when I use Proton VPN. I use Mullvad on my phone since it’s the only one that is able to be used while I also use Tailscale VPN at the same time on Android.

I’m not arguing semantics. “The left” and “authoritarianism” are different things. No one said anything about Democrats or Republicans. You are arguing that this is a problem with “the left”. If you want to argue that this is a problem with Democrats or with authoritarianism in the either party specifically, that’s a separate topic–one that I agree with.

It’s definitely a city vs rural thing then. And this is not unique to the US. Being in the city forces you to be aware that there are many different people with many different backgrounds in the world, and you are forced to interact with them daily. It makes it a lot easier to accept homosexuality, for example, if you actually interact with gay people and realize that we all aren’t so different from each other.

How many killed, tortured, raped, colonized, displaced, etc. by the British and French? British and French during WW2 were arguably much worse than Germany. History just likes to put a lense on Hitler and not Churchill because Churchill oppressed black and brown people whereas Hitler oppressed white people, which is a big no-no in society.

Remember that media gives voice to the minority to get clicks, not to inform you.

The difference may be that I live in a city, but almost all people I’ve come across in my life are genuinely good people. It’s hard to imagine that people like Andrew Tate or Nick Fuentes live in the real world. I like to think of it as a separate online world since people like that are few to come by.

What do you mean “the left”? The farther left you go, the more people see firearms as important for the people to fight oppression. Karl Marx—pretty much as far left as you can go—was very adament about wokers owning guns.

I think you are trying to refer to authoritarians.

It sounds like your problem is with capitalism and not AI and automation. You don’t like the extra productivity going towards private institutions rather than the workers they displaced or society as a whole, right?
