A sufficiently motivated state actor will have little issue with finding what they want/need, no matter what measures are taken.

But at some point they will have to interact with people outside the hermetic filter bubble(s) of BlueSky - even if it relates more to the results and byproducts as opposed to the raw research.

What would happen if we uncapped the TFW/immigration/offshoring programs but essentially made it cost enough that you could give the displaced a locality adjusted floor wage?

3 can be fixed to some degree with the right political will and sold as data privacy. Might not make the economists happy but one shouldn’t have to do public sector or adjacent work to avoid the bugbear of offshoring.

The easiest way to put a cap on it is to assign a cost that is significant enough as a fund to be used as career-replacement (or career multiplying) salary, controlling for LCOL/HCOL variations.

As stated up thread, treat that as an externality that the business ends up paying to the citizens. Offer them an opportunity to fully uncap their favorite programs on the condition that a large chunk of total compensation (with minimums a

I’d be fine if a third of the total compensation was diverted to a fund that all but takes a minimum of 50k per person per job /gives 100k minimum tax-free per affected citizen in the lowest LCOL, both adjusted upward for locality. To

I’ll take the US on this one. At least the US gives a voice and wide representation to its flyover country instead of telling it to “know its place”.

Suggestion: Let the programs continue but consider assessing a hefty fee to those requesting such individuals that replaces all forgone salary adjusted to current day dollars for all citizens impacted - from 2003 onwards up to current day (

It’s the hugbox you want with tooling to ensure nothing contrary ever has a chance to be heard. Not unlike X, you only hear what you want to hear.

I’d be fine with just plain Instant where it can group up APs from one master. Instant On would just be icing on the cake.

They want a hug box, not actual discourse.

Which actually works quite well for places like OpenBSD. The lack of a star chamber CoC puts the focus on writing good code.

That’s a bit reductive. What says that Bluesky doesn’t have their flavor of propaganda that suits their preferences? That is, what makes the Bluesky perspective more valid other than just being on a platform that hates Twitter? About anyt

Correct. Essentially you’re switching one filter bubble for another filter bubble that makes it harder for any contrary opinion to pierce it.

Blizzard’s Warden + their legal team. While not strictly an FPS directed solution, I can play Heroes of the Storm in more places without breaking my system like Vanguard does for League of Legends.

by cmxch 2y ago
Rejoinder: Blizzard’s Warden. No bootkit, no invasive system configuration required, even plays nice with “niche/enthusiast” platforms like Linux, doesn’t even care if your keyboard isn’t a bit niche too. Thought: If they expect a co

It says something about Microsoft when they OK a known harmful bootkit that expects your computer to act like an XBox with a fancy keyboard (but not too fancy), requests invasive changes to UEFI that have broken systems, and have an overall

Turning your PC into a $gaming_appliance with a keyboard (in terms of opaque and invasive security posture) isn’t so much of a success. Vanguard might be nice if you want to dedicate a PC to locked-down gaming, not so much if you just want
