“Created” meaning stolen from labor that is undercompensated, or just outright stolen. “Destroyed” meaning the purported wealth was never real in the first place.
Creates as in a dude cooks a burger. Destroyed as in someone eats it.
No theft involved.
Under the premise that eventually this endless growth cycle
Exactly. It’s endless, so the premise is false. At a certain point they’ll just rename 100 dollar the neodollar, and it continues. It’s just bookkeeping, there’s no end.
It isn’t? It’s created and destroyed all of the time.
Eventually they’ll amass so much of the wealth that most of the lower class won’t be able to purchase anything other than essentials like food.
What’s the logic here? Someone else having a high net worth, means that you have less money?
I wouldn’t recommend communities I like to others.
The usual rhetoric is that you shouldn’t look at the dozens of examples, and their consequences (1). Rather focus on the theory, and agree that that theory is perfect. And also that anything else is bad. Unless it’s an attempt at being communist, then the bad things aren’t bad. Unless they are undeniably bad, but in that case, it isn’t real communism.
For HW I personally use a NUC. If I were to build something today within said budget, I’d go for a second hand thin client.
For example the Thinkcentre M720q Tiny I can buy for 225EUR, coming with 8th gen core i5, 8GiB RAM, 256GiB SSD (1). Idle consumption is around 5W.
I use syncthing to sync folders between phone, tablet, desktop and my home server (a NUC).
Then rsync on a schedule from the server to a second off-site server (also a NUC) as backup, connected through zerotier.
I know of truenas, which is a more NAS like solution, but haven’t personally used that.
I use Feedbro, a firefox addon

The good thing about it is that it can hopefully spark intrigue in some or many.
I remember young self, equally interested in pop science (then magazines).
But yes, the bad part is people thinking they learned something from the videos. It’s mostly entertainment, not reflecting the science honestly.
I would classify those as pop science, preferring storytelling to science. A bit too handwavy.
Flammable Maths and matholiger for maths.
Cody’s lab for general crazyness. Currently building a mars base replica.
Al muqaddimah for arab history and kobean history for european history. Dime store adventures for new england history.
Bruce Yeany for small and fun science experiments.
Computerphile. Periodic Videos.
Deep look for (insect) biology.
EEVblog and greatscott for electronics.
Engineerguy for deep dives into products.
NightHawkInLight, NurdRage, for fun diy chemistry.
Sui Generis Brewing for fermenting.
For those interested in learning: (1)
Mozilla has had a rough year so far, with the PPA fiasco hurting its reputation in the open source community. To make matters worse, a recent wave of layoffs made people question if Mozilla had forgotten about their core principles.
I just like firefox.
Meant to symbolize their activist spirit, the new brand identity of Mozilla involves a custom semi-slab typeface that spells Mozilla, followed by a flag that was taken from the M of their name.
What do I care.
I love gecko. I can’t not hate mozilla for some reason.
Tl;dr: corporate speak, just a rebrand, the new slogan suggests they want to lobby more.
Hope the corpo’s at the helm stay enough out of the way of engineering, that gecko remains. Poor mozilla engineers :(
Some excerpts:
Even though we’ve been at the forefront of privacy and open source, people weren’t getting the full picture of what we do. We were missing opportunities to connect with both new and existing users. This rebrand isn’t just a facelift — we’re laying the foundation for the next 25 years.”
We teamed up with global branding powerhouse Jones Knowles Ritchie (JKR) to revamp our brand.
We back people and projects that move technology, the internet and AI in the right direction. (…) With our “Reclaim the Internet” promise, a strategy built with DesignStudio in 2023, the new brand empowers people to speak up
“We intentionally designed a system, aptly named ‘Grassroots to Government,’
My guess it has to do with their 2 party political system. You have to SHOUT and pretend THE WORLD IS BURNING GAYS STEAL BABIES ALL POLICE IS RACIST EVERYTHING BAD THAT HAPPENED TO YOU IS BECAUSE OF THE OTHER DONT VOTE FOR THEM to scare 1% of voters one way or the other and get political power.
Messages of those extremes make their way over the big pond way way more often than the lady doing a job that she enjoys, having a pleasant evening with her family.
