Its also a functional programming language!

Basically same as N I think since tweets have a max size.

Damn, i really need to figure out how I can block lemmygrad in its entirety. While there are some interesting people there, I’ve seen 3 separate comments from accounts there posting absolute drivel just in the past 15 minutes!

Okay deleted my previous comment because this CMV is not really about socialism vs capitalism.

You are technically correct in saying that people not wanting to work because they aren’t paid enough is a capitalism problem, but it doesn’t really change my view on the solution of a land value tax, as it is a capitalist solution that I think only applies to a capitalist system.

Idk what definition of commodity you are using, but I will say that it seems that by wikipedia’s definition something like food or manufactured goods are more of a commodity than land, something that can not be created.

I would agree that housing is a commodity though, so long as there is more land to build it on.

I think a land value tax would speed up the process of building more houses, and would make housing denser because owners of the land would be incentivised to build as many houses as possible to not loose money to the land value tax.

Wdym my tip system?

Sure, but at least companies can be competed with and if they get too big, are subject to government scrutiny. On the other hand, its really hard to control a large population of landowners and speculators who have a personal incentive to do whatever they can to increase the perceived price of their owned land.

If landlords don’t want to hemorrhage money by not having a paying tenant on their land, they will lower their prices. The problem with land is that we can’t create more of it. It is not a commodity supply can be artificially restricted to the detriment of the rest of society. If land holders constantly lost money for not having their land generate wealth, there would be no incentive to artificially reduce supply.

Not to mention, what prevents a future release of the feature either turning the percentage to 0% or removing the hold-back entirely?

Imo thats like the main issue here. Google tweaks chromium changing a single number and everything goes to shit. This proposal is a trojan horse!

your devs will just write other server backend code that is forked off of yours that won’t “hold back”.

Isn’t it the client (i.e. the browser) that holds back randomly? The server for any service can’t force clients to send an attestation.

Change My View: Its not the business owner’s fault that they can’t pay enough wages to hire enough people. It is the landowners and land speculators fault for raising the rent / price of land to the point where the businessowers don’t have enough money to pay.people because all their revenue is going to the landowners. I believe we need a land value tax to fix this issue.

Liar liar pants on fire, hit the ball into the wire!

What should be your reason? Why is wanting the right to use whatever software I want not a good reason?

Software is not weed, it is not an automatic assault rifle, it is information. You could literally speak the binary encoding of the software aloud if you had enough time, and I’m pretty sure freedom of speech is a right everyone has.

Egalitarianism? Just as ambiguously defined too!

What is this algebraic nonsense!

i dont think you are gonna read any of this

THINK AGAIN YA DAM LIB XD

In all seriousness though, I can understand your desire for utopia and for technology to solve all our problems (I desire those things too!), but I think people generally view those two desires as naive. The world’s problems usually don’t have simple solutions, AI is still somewhat of a new area of research with its own potential dangers, and putting all your stock into AI solving our problems ignores the very real solutions that could be implemented sooner rather than later.

But don’t beat yourself up too much over meaningless internet points, learn about what you’re interested in more! If AI is your cup of tea and you want to learn more about the potential issues with creating super powerful AI, I can strongly recommend the channel “Robert Moses AI Safety”. Particularly his videos about The Orthogonality Thesis and Mesa-Optimizers.

Huh… is flatpak consistency behind snap when it comes to updates?

This is pretty standard left wing stuff, tankie garbage would be like: “we need to create a dictatorship of the proletariat to prevent climate change”

Edit: well maybe it might be a little bit tankie from the last bit
