  • People like the person you reply to probably also don’t think “sitting on your ass making art while just existing on the subsidy” isn’t “productive enough” or some shit either.

    Without realizing just how much of our current working society is built on completely pointless busy work nonsense. But its in an office and done in excel so its “Work” and its “productive” because it makes some rich asshole at the top richer.

    If AI is doing one positive thing, its really really showing this out for the reality it is, because AI is pretty good at turning pointless data into equally pointless reports.

    And I agree with you, people WANT to do things. I think even those dude who “don’t want to bathe” want to do things yoo, they just may not be “productive” things, or maybe they don’t want to bathe because they see the banality of everything we do in the world so why bother.


  • What we need is to jail people who do exploitive shit like this. Just like any other harmful acticity we jail people for.

    Or maybe jusr, OP’s 50% tax deal ramps up the more acxumulated wealth and property you have. Tonstrongly discourage that practice. Like sure, you exploited your rent holdings and you are a ten millionaire. But now we are taxing you at 100% so we can bump people’s UBI subsidy up enough to account for your exploitation.

    Good job, you accomplished nothing in the end.







  • There are some games I sometimes play that don’t work. Fortnite, Infinity Nikki, maybe Overwatch.

    I also like using One Drive for syncing around and accessing files and it works well with my NAS. I have not really got it working at all in Linux.

    On my laptop, when not connected to my home network, the file browser (I tried several) hangs terribly terribly bad when opening it because it can’t find the network drives in my fstab file. It was bad enough I just took them out and manually browse to the folders if I need to by IP.

    I really like Affinity Photo and have a paid copy from before it went free. I can’t get it working in Limux on my laptop. I absolutely HATE GIMP, do not sughest GIMP. The UI has been dog shit for forever (I have tried using it off and on for ages now, like, decades, if its been around that long). Its garbage.








  • Yeah, the only reason “gig economy” workers exist is so companies can use clever lawyer buzz words to exploit workers. We already have delivery drivers, we already had cab drivers, we already had hotels and rental homes, etc etc.

    But suddenly we have “disruptive” gig bull shit, because now its a “ride share” to avoid cab rules. The delivery person works for another company and is a weird psudo contracter because McDonalds isn’t going to pay delivery drivers to have downtime, etc etc.

    Its ultimately just a way get around regular employment laws and exploit people to the max. Its stupid and its why at least for my part, I have not and will not every use these services.
