That is the misconception.

Almost anyone in the most developped countries has it much better than anyone before the industrial revolution.

I will now use the examples from the social democratic contries rather than US as healthcare is a mess in US, but most of this applies to US too, as even in US the poor still get more than back then.

First that Healthcare:
-Child mortality back then was more than 30% now way below 1% due to things like vaaccinations, antiobiotics, sanitaion and healthcare in general. Even rich people back then had super high child mortality even if maybe a bit lower than average.
-Vaccinations and diseases in general: Since then we have gained almost universal coverage of the vaccinations against the deadliest diseases. so mortality to such has crashed. Back then, people just died of such, regardless of social class or how rich you are.
-Anyone in need of healthcare will get, while not neccessary the best in the world, 100 times better healthcare than even the Kings back then.

Then knowledge:
-The poorest of kids will get an education, that while likely has less classic litterature and religion than back then, is in other ways superior.
-Each one of us has at our fingertips available more information and quicker than even the richest back then could dream off.

Travel and communications:
-Want to visit family in other side of the country: Today, train ticket: cost 1-4 hours of work in the lowest paying jobs and few hours. Back then a long and arduous trip taking days.
-Want to communicate with them: today: just video call them, back then: maybe the national mail existed already or maybe not, in any case paper was expensive and writing with an ink pen slow.

And so on..

I would 100% rather be in the lowest 10% in any of the Social democratic coutries today than in the top 0.1% back in say 1700.

Capitalism is what lifted most of humanity from total poverty. Poverty is the default in history, but the growth fueled by the raise of capitalism is what caused the default to change.

Does unfettered capaitalism cause problems: Big time.
Does any other system we know off cause more problems: Yes

The only other system that seems to be able to somewhat compete is a the social democratic systems where there is capitalism, but it's extremes are clamped down on. The end result is clearly less innovations and total growth, but more overall happiness, like if you look at the world happiness report, most of the top countries in there seem to be on different variations of that.

But still it is not unexpected that something like US where the capitalism is rampart has outpaced the total growth of Europe by a large margin and most of worlds top companies are in US.

So nothing except capitalism seems to really work, but how free you want to capitalism to run is a quiestion of the things you want in your society.

>"Handmade" items are *already* a thing, but people still mostly choose to buy things made by machines in factories.

I think this is the key on how things will go. There will be a luxury market of "Handmade" art or whatever, but most will use the cheaper AI made stuff.

Mastodon: no one.

TikTok: a lot of the younger generation

I have not read the actual bill, but from the description it seems like good things in general.

The 1:1 requirement is the safe option, though with other regulations in place a high fractional part with a pooled resource insurance would likely be better in the long run.

The stable coin thing of today is just a black box with "trust me bro"

There never was a proper CUDA "moat".

Sure it is a convinient way to do some things with a lot less work than other approaches, but most sane people doing anything on large scale will eventually want to optimize the actual running of things. As long as the development was fast enough in algoritms and hardware that any incremental gains from optimiation were less important such was obvioisl low priority. But once the number of users for a service grows huge, even say a 5% imprevement is suddenly huge numers in real terms and thus worth some effort.

At the easiest level it is to think of it as linked web pages running locally.

Basically you did stacks of cards that could contain things like information, buttons and such and you could then navigate them like you can a web site today.

But on a more complex level it could actually also have actual scripts and such in addition.

As to what to use it for:
-We did a adventure game based on exploring a crazy mages whacky dungeon on it and shared it with others.
-But more seriously it was used for things like training materials and presentations extensively. Less for actual more complex programs.

Well, it depends on your loaclity.

Basically where I live we have a "expectation of privacy" rule. That limits scopes of laws.

Like if you are naked in a fenced in area with no expected visibility outside he area you cannot be prosecuted for public indicency, but if you do that in your open front yard you will be..

Same applies to many other things too where a place with expectation of privacy has special protections for things like photographing, where you need permission in such, but not in places without and many more activities.

That is the difference.

...just follow the money. That is how companies operate.

Where inflation has caused drop in big ticker purchases that have driven a lot of the ad revenue, defense spending is instead increasing.

Except that also democrats are captured by big business.

Yeah, people who do many of these sensationalist headlines often intentionally do not find the facts like that.

One of my all time favorites not internet related is the traffic safety thing where most traffic accidents happen within X distance of home or workplace, and "forgetting" to mention that most travel happens in such too...

I think it is that a more fanatical Linux user is more likely to use Arch, so where quite many mint or Ubuntu users might do most of their things on Linux, they might dual boot and use Windows for gaming, but an Arch user is less likely to do that and will thus game on Arch.
