Seriously. Calling age a disease is a rhetorical manipulation, divorced from the truth. Clinging to this notion is a form of delusion.

Equivalent fancies would call gravity a form of oppression, or render the second law of thermodynamics a form of theft.

These people need psychologists, not funding. Medical care is already unaffordable in the US, with outcomes similar to Kazakhstan. Quack-science like this is a part of the problem.

Not until the entire audio layer in Linux works better with more hardware, including pro stuff like Avid, Focusrite, MOTU, etc.

It's still too fussy to get good audio out of Linux. Though I realize it's not entirely the fault of Linux.

It's great for streaming samples, rendering, etc, but not for actually playing or producing audio, without a whole lot of fiddling.

Long before there were corporations and governments, there was the strong preying on the weak. Sure these two technologies may stop the tyranny that you are concernned about, but tyranny existed before the modern forms of government and will continue after them. After all, corporations and governments are only as good or evil as the people behind them and these technologies don't do anything to change that.

You're probably right. But it's in our nature to try. And that is a wonderful thing.

Ubiquitous grid-free digital networking, like grid-free power, are really the holy grail.

A lot of the worst problems we face on this planet could be solved with these two technologies if they are allowed to come to fruition.

Institutional poverty, corporate/government tyranny, state-sponsored terrorism and other seemingly intractable problems might really be dealt with if we could have these two things.
