see c/UGEM for UnderGroundElectronicMusic. :) (I was going to set up something like that when saw someone else had already requested to make it. Good stuff. Populate it.)

  • Good idea.

    I shall have to add a "skill issue" label to my git repos.

  • Due support where needed, is a good thing, for sure.

    But it strikes me that in this it's too easy to fall far short of where we can be.

    ... Boxes to see over a fence?

    Y'know they have spaceships that can do zero inertia propulsion right? For over a century! Yet here we are quibbling over who gets how many boxes. Lets aim a little higher, huh?

    It's not just the likes of the TR-3B, that have been out in the open for us to see for at least 11 years now. Far in advance of that, for peaceful use. Zero point energy powered, can do zero inertia propulsion (that's all the stuff like instant acceleration, high speed right angle turns, stopping instantly, etc), can print another of itself instantly, safe enough for a 2 year old to fly home safely in, can sustain human life indefinitely, and more.

    Equity, and/or equality, in a secluded subset of us all, kept in manufactured scarcity, is a cunning way to keep us divided and conquered, keeping us down and ignorant. Keeping us being slaughtered in pointless resource wars.

    Lets mend this lost century[1] properly.

    Lets sublimate.

    Sublimate past whoever picking whoever decides how to apportion the pittance. ... Because that's been used to commit genocides (of which I'm a survivor), in the name of equity. Beware the name-changer deceivers with their orwellian corruption of language, and totalitarian psyop ploys, and killing us with our loving compassion and managed ignorance.

    Consider these two quotes together, and who said them...

    “We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity… anything you can imagine we already know how to do.” — Ben Rich, former Head of the Lockheed Skunk Works

    “It is easier for us to pay a private contractor to re-invent something so it will come out at a lower classification level, than to try to declassify it.” – Bennett Hart, then Deputy Director of the National Reconnaissance Organization

    ... while we cultivate bickering about how many boxes we get, when we could blast far past that into abundance for each and all.

    and also

    "The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as ONE. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year, and instead spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace." -- Bill Hicks.

    [1: ... it's more like 2 centuries now. 175 years since the Sonora Aero Club had some of its marvellous flying things drawn by Charles Dellschau (that were the precursors to being made capable of surviving the vacuum of space, already electro-magnetically propulsed with inertial dampening). It's not just the man made foo-fighters of the 1930s and 1940s. This goes back further.]

  • Reminds me of tankies' oxymoronic "well then we'll make them free".

  • MLK's "by content of character", echoes in my mind, seeing that [mis]characterisation of DEI, in line with how it promotes itself, misaligned from how it's practised. DEI shot itself in the foot. DEI has set back egalitarianism and equity and healthy progress and good sense, by totalitarianistically and dogmatically judging by skin colour and feigning moral superiority for doing so. Orwellian as fuck. Utterly inconsistent, worsening its racist iniquitousness. Better to mend it, than double down on its divisive poison pretence. ... I have a dream...

  • That coulda been good, but it failed on the last frame. Better punchlines to land the point were available.

    Also... "DEI"? Kinda misleading, worsened the effect of fail on this.

  • "Loss leader" is your clue.

    I'll leave the rest to you to work out.

  • And yet these anthrocidal threats to our species are also reasons to have kids. :/

  • the full salary of the worker that is replaced by AI/automation/robotics to fund universal basic income.

    ummm... just clumsily worded, or, not getting what universal basic income is? ... sounds rather means tested and conditional there, how that's worded.

  • Don't worry.

    They have plans underway to terrorise us with intentionally worsening it under the pretence of trying to mend it, to induce us into obedience under their tyranny, so we don't rise up against what they're doing.

    Sleep tight.

  • Only Pluto and Charon got us beat.

    At least in terms of lower mass difference between the two bodies, and the distance the barycenter is moved from the center of the larger body.

    [Edit: ... maybe Eris and Dysnomia come close too. ... and worth another mention that Jupiter tugs the barycenter further from Sol than Luna does from Earth. But all that's a different beast from visual size.]

  • What’s money

    The root of all evil.

    What's holding us back.

    What's keeping [the psychological short-sighted greed-trap and duress in place to keep] the emancipatory technologies suppressed.

    I have a degree in economics I am and was being a dipshit

    Yes.

    please don’t answer

    No.

    asking a rhetorical question

    I'll have my fun anyway.

    ;D

  • Evolutionary niche fits the conditions.

  • What blows my mind even more, is, contrast to the fact that these tides are from Luna's pull on Earth, which does not move the barycenter outside earth, the effect of Jupiter on Sol, does pull the barycenter outside Sol! Get your head around that, eh!?!!

  • So Microsoft is hanging on the coat-tails of KDE, copying the enshitification from KDE3 to KDE4, 17 years later?
