I noticed something similar when working with (unlike the post's author, non-marxist, as far as I know) Russian developers who had made the jump abroad (EU). When debating directions, some of them focused on just never stopping talking

Is it bad that I ended up just using chatgpt to summarize that text? Is it possible that this is to a large degree utterly pointless textual wankery?

Ok. Just noting: Realistically, your concerns are not going to change the eating desires of actual humans in the real world. So the plan is a beef tax, then? Here's a reality check from Sweden: https://www.svt.se/nyhete

Meat-based proteine is important in so many different ways. Yes, it is possible avoid meat and still have a child develop well. It was also possible to install Linux on your PC in 1991/1992. Most people couldn't, but the really sm

The cost increases are real: beef, wheat, labor. Some of it is from inflation during the covid period, some it is from the Russia-Ukraine invasion causing havoc in fuel and grain supplies globally. There is currently a beef shortage in Euro

Someone needs to step up to fork and maintain it. I imagine that Adafruit, Sparkfun and some other companies are highly motivated.

Perhaps something could have been done via the EU. (No, I know, France/Italy/Spain/Germany are way too obsessed with their exports to PRC.) Been there/done that - Sweden was unjustly bullied by China and got next to no s

It would have been cool to get some subset of the dotnet runtime running on the C64. This is not it. It's a desktop IDE built using dotnet that just assembles 6502 instructions with some extra awkward syntax. Many more elaborate projec

It enables Oracle-like behavior. Once you're locked in as commercial user they can do whatever they want. Remember: Not all commercial users are FAANG rich. Counties/local municipalities count as commercial users, as an example.

15-20 years ago this wouldn't have been a company. It would have been a strong but informal open collaboration where smart and just people funded by various entities around the world kept it running. Then the opportunity to get rich

All of that is by design, in a bad way.

Yeah. (Sorry, somehow didn't read your comment about the same AmigaVision before commenting.) I find myself wishing for something like AmigaVision for e.g. the IBM PC. The launcher should be in either classic text mode or VGA 640x480x1

I am very happy with AmigaVision, packaged by Alex Limi (of early Mozilla Firefox UX/product fame) et al. AmigaVision is a carefully curated collection of game and demo configurations for the Amiga computer platform, as well as a mini

Many Canadians here, but I guess that makes sense. To the rest of the world (right or wrong) you are culturally pretty much the same as Americans. Yes. I know. Your political scene is wildly different.

Non-US perspective: ”Progressive” and ”conservative” labels don’t make much sense to me these days. Perhaps you need another way of thinking about these things.

Project Xanadu ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Xanadu ) is an interesting read on how to not do things if you want to change the world. Otherwise: Interesting read, thanks for digging this up!
