  • My dude, please get some professional help. I am religious, so if you ask me, I would point there, but seriously, you are worth it and you are at least worth the memes you post. I bet that you could grow a bunch from a place of stability, and have a pretty rad life to look forward to

    Here is some other advice:

    • ask chat-gpt for some exercises to help you get your brain where it should be and a timeline. Then execute. Rinse repeat
    • reduce social media (including Lemmy) a good "cold turkey" break would be a cruise or something.
    • obtain physically proximate friends via volunteering at a local food bank or similar nonprofit.
  • I was imagining a "I just wiped my hard drive and flashed the current version of Debian. Let's get basic services up."

    I wish there was a "hey watch me code/self host" channel that helped noobs see how to approach the problem of starting. Usually their is a "hey watch me code" YouTube that is old enough to have a critical breaking point (some library updated) so a noob finds it impossible.

  • Granted. As you didn't specify what you wanted in this deal, I will assume hedonism and immortality. You never get sick and your senses that give pleasure or contentedness dull over time. You see hear and speak sharply as you have no empathy for or care to spend time with "ephemeral" beings. You have a robot cat with its memory backed up each night so that you have something to share eternity with. Eventually, your internal emotions are more pressing to you than any external thing.

  • Granted . The plot to the Matrix movie series is a reality: general ai is made, the ai moves to inhospitable land (Sahara Africa and Antarctica) ai produces more high quality goods for lower cost than 3x the rest of the globe combined. The rest of the globe goes to war, and wars are won on logistics(aka the ai won). The ai decides to create a immersive "matrix" to simulate whatever humans want and keeps humans locked in what they want the most. Some want to live in the 90s. Some want to ride in a ship called Nicodemus (because they remember hits that this world could be a bad dream) some have delusions of waking up (but in reality, they did not).

    The ai removes all capitalism from its simulated matrix and any recursions of "matrix within the matrix" that get created from time to time for troubleshooting.

    Long term aftermath: the ai communes with god and makes changes to its matrix to maximize what god wants, so the matrix now seems most similar to permanently pre ai with lots of decisions. the ai cleans the environment on earth and explores space.

  • Granted. The conservation of entropy theorem that is the backbone of teportation means that upon teleport, the difference in entropy between origin and destination measured in mass-energy-entropy would have to be "antimatter ants" for each equivalent unit of mass-energy-entropy as you specified only a destination, that means that you probably only 10x'd the net quantity of ants whenever this teleportation is used.

  • Done, and now there is no longer "white people" it is only " so freckled they are basically "colored" and the super rich whites.

    Also skin cancer is easily commicable and indistinguishable from frecle infections

  • The problem with "what to buy to get started" is that that question is tantalizingly juicy to advertisers. Therefore, when a place is found it is usually captured by low quality high dollar cost advertisers (like reddit or amazon or essentially all the other sites that carry and recommend hobbiest products).

    I think your best bet is to get to know a few people who actually are doing the hobby (not a advertising influencer) and see the cost points for real hobbiests.

  • The Linux purist is to provide the source code and you download then compile the small files.

    Developers and gamers don't have storage issues so the higher storage size of flapak and the lack of dependency issues (a copy of every library used) make flatpak user friendly enough for normies aka gamers with steamdecks

  • The lack of observation has a clear effect on thoughts and behavior. There is even an English saying "when the cat is away, the mice will play". I think that there is no such thing as " freedom of speech" or "freedom of assembly", if a malicious actor is silent notes taking at all times.

    And because harvested data goes to the rich, or the cops who care about convictions more than the truth it is a reasonable assumption in my threat model that data observation is malicious observation.

    Also from a citizen development perspecrive, if your citizens are always watched, then they never develop the " moral muscle" and the only morality remains in the hands of those with the power to observe and enforce their will.

  • Economics say that technological advances hurt those displaced for a short period of time but the entire rest of the economy improves and the displaced people are smart enough to find other jobs in the new economy with higher standard of living...

    Unless the value created never makes it back to the economy...
