Rather than a hard cap, I like the idea of property tax rates that go on an exponential curve depending on how many houses you have beyond the one you live in, which are used either to subsidize building more housing or somehow redistributed.

Not sure what your point is, do you not like how I worded that? I'm saying it's a bad thing, do you think it's a good thing, or missed the second half of the sentence? Not using AI to write comments is something I take pretty seriously, so please don't cast doubt on its humanity just because what I write is long and verbose and not in complete agreement with you, I am a real person who has put effort into laying out my thoughts and this hurts my feelings.

If your point is further restrictions to children's access to social media being broadly unpopular, unfortunately that isn't accurate. This is why I'm taking a contrarian position here despite believing free computing should take priority; if people want this, and it's going to happen in some form, maybe a compromise that doesn't involve the worst losses of privacy and control is the best available path forward. If not, I want to hear arguments why not, or alternative plans, because the ones I can think of aren't totally convincing.

The way libertarianism (the property rights focused version) has marketed itself appeals to people who believe the other major political viewpoints they are aware of do not value human freedom highly enough. Anarchism also appeals to that sentiment. So it's going to be similar kinds of people adopting these viewpoints I think. Maybe which you land on will depend on what sort of people and information you are around, or your willingness to reconsider your beliefs when exposed to new ideas.

If they "figure it out" it will mean that there is no alternative, and no technology on its own will prevent that. I think until that happens, you just build spaces they do not control, and avoid contributing to what they do control, and act to make encroaching control expensive and difficult. Don't comply with unjust laws.

On Linux, you get your software from repositories

Unfortunately I have seen many software projects where the linux install instructions are to run a command that involves curl and a .sh file

Intense emotional pain I couldn't get away from, which lasted a very long time. The sense that I can't trust anyone. Mild psychosis where I would temporarily convince myself we would get back together, despite trying hard to accept it and not think this way, just getting my thoughts overpowered by emotion. The feeling that who I am as a person does not exist anymore. Briefly feeling less pain by finding reasons to be angry, but not being able to maintain that anger. Eventually the pain subsided years later when I forgot what it felt like to be around her. Still have nightmares sometimes though.

I actually did data labeling work on amazon mturk for a while, it does kind of suck, the main saving grace was I could largely do it on my own schedule but I assume these people don't really get that benefit.

What about people who say that they like drama

being sent to offshore contractors for data labeling, a widely-used preprocessing step in training new AI models in which human contractors are asked to review and annotate footage.

From another article I read about this, seems like it involves a lot of drawing precise boxes around people and objects, stuff like that. Terminators gotta learn their sex moves from somewhere.

800k could buy a lot of hard drugs, and those underground bunkers might last a few weeks

I also unchecked "Show Scores" and "Show Upvotes". Thinking about numbers on this kind of site is miserable.

What a waste, make all these people spend years of their lives building a whole videogame and then immediately make it impossible for anyone to ever play it again. A company shouldn't have the right to erase a game from existence, even if it is a bad one.
