I'm using Vivaldi (Android), and it looks like I'm not getting the mobile site, but the desktop one. I can access all the content, but the pictures are way too big, and the white cloud in the background makes it impossible to read the text over it because it is white too. If I set Vivaldi to "desktop site" mode, I get the same thing, only without the text word-wrapped. I just want to know if this is malicious or just incompetent.
Ah yes, tvs. I don't watch enough yt to want to watch it on tv, so I often forget about that. You're right, no easy answers there right now. Certainly there are ways, but all sacrifice some convenience. Hopefully this will change soon.
That just reminded me of something I tried that was similar, I think it was called Visual Chat? It looked like a 2D cartoon, but each person controlled an avatar and could move around and talk to each other, go to other rooms, change expression, gesture, etc.
Microsoft bought whatever that was and completely ruined it, just like they ruin everything else they buy.
It's like the Midas touch: they make it shiny, expensive, and of little use.
That's what happens when signs aren't clear enough. There should be little white lines separating the far leg and arm. Ambiguity like this can lead to accidents, and bear-walking.
Nope. All you'd be doing is slowing down the damage in the short term while breeding more clever and less moral actors. The only way to get rid of that behaviour is to change the rules of the game.
I guarantee there’s more people who might like to travel than planes and fuel to move them. Expanding the sector requires a variety of inputs, which themselves are in shortage.
There will always be some things that will be scarce, yes, like say space travel, that will have to be dealt with by other means. The point is that there are more than enough other things that can be provided in abundance to give everyone a high standard of living. And once the inefficiencies of the current system are removed, even many scarce things (like air travel) will be far more available than they are now.
Please do. I did read through that page and a few other places on the website. It explains that it’s a new economic system, but not how it works.
There are a couple pages that go over the basics (e.g. The Energy Certificate), but if you want more details I just need a way to get a couple of pdfs to you.
Maybe they should make a reality tv show about it, entertainment is way more lucrative than saving lives. I mean, if they can make crab fishing a show... 😞
Well, if you’re talking about just food, shelter, and some very basic kind of transportation (no planes!), sure, there’s no scarcity. That’s a very low bar, though, and most people don’t want to live at the subsistence level.
No, I mean a high standard of living, according to what is possible at the time. Good homes, plenty of good food, easy transportation wherever you want to go in the country, etc.
Can you link to the original proposal, so I know what we’re talking about?
I can get you the older stuff sure, but it was written for a different audience. You'll most likely do better with a starting point like this.
