would that involve getting rid of publicly traded/owned companies?

no

would that in turn mean only one person could own a company and not allow investments?

also no

windows 11 suck ass I especially hate chatgpt

🤔

it was not obvious to me. I am still in doubt thought.

is there a source?

(I am especially sceptical about the quanifiers. "every sjngle,,," is a very strong statement. "You’re not allowed to save modern non-gmo seeds either." implies, that there are no non-gmo seeds, that the farmer could sell, which is also a strong statement)

so far there is no significant quanum advantage, i.e. most things you can do on a quantum computer, you can do cheaper on a regular computer. Therefor there is not much value in quantum computing. Therefor I doubt we will see a significant surge in power-use due to quantum computing in the next 10 years

due to [...] quantum computing.

[x] doubt

for me it was on a pi5. maybe the amd64 was what made it work for me? idk.

As usual, the US is already one step ahead: they cut out the middleman by skiping a step.

thank you for answering questions here, despite all the snark and smartassery in this comment-section.

snappy it feels versus the official rpi OS

I blame the desktop manager. Once I ditched the default von on the pi, and replaced it with standard gnome, the pi became almost as snappy as my regular notebook.

in general: standard debian should be exactly as light-weight as arch.

how about

X happens
2min later: flashback to X
10min later: another flashback to X

(flashbacks will each time use the same animation, of course)

that title-design is just insane.

If everyone stops buying from Amazon, those people could get jobs at any of these companies, where people buy from instead.

Amazon has replaced a lot of jobs. When amazon goes away, it in turn will get replaced by something else.

Tja.

but then they can still set colors, that we don't. Or at least there are some colors they can differentiate between, that we can't.

e.g if they have a receptor for orange, yellow and red, then can differentiate between pure orange and orange that is 50% red and 50% yellow.

So both is true: We have more colors (because of brain-things), but they still have some colors, that we don't (because of receptors).

thanks

When you buy something from them, you’re also supporting those people

I am sorry, but this take is just insane. You do not support amazon workers when you buy from amazon.

trickle down does not work. Companies like amazon will not use additional revenue to increase the conditions of their worker.

In fact, the opposite is true: the more market power amazon has, the worse it will treat its worker (and also the 3rd party sellers, and even the buyers)

offtopic: what is the significance of the reblogger in the screenshot? like, why didn't they leave the top third of the picture in?

amazon on kindle is very convienient. But I don't want to support jeff bezozs, which is why I like piracy. Also amazon makes it really easy to pirate. You just send the pirated copy to you kindle email-adress, and amazon uploads the pirated ebook to your kindle. I have done this for about 10 years, and I like to image, that Jeff sheds a single tear each time I do this.

On the other hand there are many public libraries with a steam-like service. e.g. you pay your regular library fee (2€ iirc) and you can download all the books you want to your e-reader. The catch is, that you can only keep a certain number of digital copies at the same time for some reason. The other down side is, that the initial setup takes some time (but I guess that depends on the library? idk it was >5 years ago when I did some research in that direction).

If someone knows more about the public-library-ebook-service, please let us know.

thanks!

e-reader were a gamechanger for me.

on one side they are super convinient, because of the backlight alone.

on the other side: piracy
