I have the same rig as you minus watercooling, and I assume you have AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D? Anyway, it's my only PC now, I game, dev, run local models, edit photos, edit videos, all in Manjaro. I get ~70FPS in Cyberpunk at 4k, every sett

Post-hoc justification. There's no analysis of whether that level of hardware was necessary to launch, only that they did get that hardware and did launch.

I'd been wondering why my allergies go nuts every time I visit Japan, but never really suffered in other Asian countries. Cool to know now. Upside is I discovered the trick of just taking fexofenadine every single day which had the sid

Capitalist ownership is enshrined in law which is defined in rule (written clearly down), and is enforced via the State's monopoly on violence. All distribution of private property is outlined in contract. This includes the means of pr

There is no good justification for anyone's salary really, except perhaps doctors and underwater welders.

Your city doesn't have a way to pay for parking with cash on public roads? It's not a private lot? That should simply be illegal.

My buddy and I used to plant shitloads of melon farms there. The idea was, anything could happen, but at least you won't starve.

Could be worth giving anarchy another look - try Kropotkin's "Anarchist Communism" for a brief overview, or the conquest of bread. It's not an inherently violent ideology at all :) you could also look into Keith McHenry

Isn't the failure you note in 4 always inevitable in a system where Capital translates to power?

He also threw moneylenders out of the temple and said it's nearly impossible for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. The simple fact is that our society isn't organized in a way that optimizes for Jesus' teachings. We

> argue that capitalism (lower-case) is as old as humans. Was not the shift away from hunter-gatherer a capitalist choice? What's the difference between capitalism and Capitalism? Are you just describing the act of exchanging resou

To be honest I think you're conflating terms. > I think that capitalism describes the effects of acting out of self interest. Acting out of self interest has results that can be described in many ways, but is too unrelated to the ec

I was responding to your comment that nerds should reclaim software that's overwhelmingly professional and pre packaged by sharing that there already is FOSS software for the categories you listed, which imo represents nerd reclamation

Many of them have been reclaimed. Check out the "awesome self hosting" GitHub repo. Podcasts: audiobookshelf Music: 500 different subsonic clients, many of which are good. Or some fun tuis Feed readers: lol, more than there are gr

Nextcloud also has lots of interesting plugins. I recently found a viable Splitwise alternative I chucked on my instance.

When my friend was telling me about GrapheneOS I was thinking back to the old days of android custom roms, all the bugs and bullshit, the time I couldn't dial out to 911 because my custom ROM crashes when I did, or other issues. So I g

> The Burners I've interacted with would happily help others in need and care about the community at large. That's the whole point of civic responsibility, isn't it? Exactly my point, so why do we maintain this illusion th

You're right minus the profits, nobody's really making any money off the Burn except maybe fancy RV rental places or whatever.

This is the fundamental contradiction of Burning Man values, and I admit to obnoxiously pursuing it around the fire these past three burns now. Burning Man is a community and society, and often pitches itself that way, and attendees come aw

Could be because people growing up in Japan are taught that they're an intrinsic part of any place, event, or group of people that includes their presence. Kids in classrooms in Japan are helping clean up together with everyone else at

That's an incredibly cynical thing for a man like Jobs to say, given his life, especially late in it, was mostly just ordering people to invent things, and then acting like a generational genius because the massive amount of people und

No, it's the definition of random. On the road, what percentage of drivers are violating a law? I would say above 50%. Either speeding, windows tinted too much, driving distracted, having something hanging from their rearview, or not h

I've been doing this at my co-op, just as a kind of, I don't know, break from capitalism or something? Or maybe to practice getting users before finding a monetizable project? Most are rinky dink derp projects to let co-op members

I'm sympathetic to FOSS developers but struggle to understand this, maybe because it hasn't happened to me. But, why is this a mental drain? Is there not a simple solution? Reply with the license, "comes with no warranty,&quo
