Terribly bloated corporations all around. We had such situation in socialist Yugoslavia in the 80s, just before it collapsed. Most people just "went to work" without doing anything useful or producing anything valuable while still

It's even harder to teach them that what one knows, what one does and what one gives, is more important than what one consumes and what one has. But I think it will be worth it.

I think you are smart and insightful person. There's too many of "yes we could be better but we are still the best while those other suck beyond improvement unless we fix them" East and West, left and right. I hope to fix my

That we the people just need to come together and be more organized and strategic and remove the corruption is applicable to any society, on any level of corruption. It was not too late for Netherlands under nazis, it is not too late for an

How do you fight a totalitarian from the inside, eg USA, EU, where surveillance is high and any opposition will be ‘disappeared’?

Ok, that is the assessment after one month. I would be interested to hear your opinion after a year and after a decade of using.

For me, "following the dream" is a failed concept. It means I know what I want, which might look true but it isn't. Currently I try not to dream. I try to be awake, and open to whatever comes my way. Some things that come to

Hm, I have 10 years worth of emails in my dovecot, on my metal, in my basement, online. Can you please describe how can it be read without a warrant by people who don't have my imap password or wheel ssh key to my server?

I wear my clothes and shoes almost until they disintegrate. Some of them are more than two decades old, still good. Harder to find quality stuff that lasts nowadays, but it is possible. Wear cotton and leather, avoid plastics. But then agai

This is the price, those are the terms. If you don't like them go buy somewhere else or produce yourself.

Ah, dear old Maggie and her goal of bringing political freedom to oppressed ones. She failed because, despite best intentions, she was too naive. Are you serious? I am not, I am being sarcastic.

I am saying quantum mechanics is wrong.

Because "physics" it builds upon is wrong.

You did well. Quantum computing will never exist and you seem like a reasonable person who does not want to waste their life on horseshit.

What do you mean by handing out cash cf. Afganistan? Last I heard Afganistan's billions of cash reserves were seized by USA. You mean handing out Afgani cash to US oligarchs does not solve any problems? I can agree with that.

Regulating oneself out from the market where main merchandize is people's private data sounds like reasonable thing to do.

Uh, why so expensive? Some 20 years ago liquid ketamine was available over the counter in veterinaries here on Balkans, it being known anaesthetics for animals like kettle. You could buy like 2l bottle for less than 20 EUR. When it became r

As usual, it is a financial one. Do you have ~30,000 EUR / year for skilled admin? Plus ~20,000 EUR / year for hardware and other running costs? If you do, you can have your emails safely and reliably exchanged from your basement.

People who use anything but smaller self contained platform are in denial if they think all of their emails and IM's aren't already scanned and logged. People with knowledge and resources can and should host their own email and IM

If contract doesn't state how long one needs to stay, it is professional to leave anytime. I had the luck to get into a company which was (to some extent is) a mess, where I had (have) so many opportunities to improve things and get pa

It is becoming harder and harder to troubleshoot which apps talk what to which servers because all off them, including OS, talk something all the time. Back in the day if user told me they have a problem accessing some Internet content I wo

Some people are shallower and less humorous than the others, and can't get the reference and joke where others can. I am fine with that, not that I want to be king of HN with best karma of them all. I just like to hang around bright hu

Matter (aether) is constant, it cannot be created or destroyed. Mass is created in places where matter's (aether's) density gets slightly higher or lower than its baseline density. Photons don't exist. You're welcome.

No. You could then say "how many NIC manufacturers" or "how many UTP cable manufacturers" etc., as though all of them got their cut from Apple's app store (although one could reasonably argue it is true). If it is t
