Countries are defined by land-hoarding class, because the nomadic people define themselves by their group instead of the land on which they live.

Without hoarders (landlords), we wouldn’t need to put as much effort towards regulating land use, instead we could focus on regulating behaviours. Ex: “this land is a national park, you are not allowed to trash it. Go next door, there you are allowed to pour the trash from your industrial process into the ground, because it’s your private land”

How much can I make with a 10 yo account with average karma? Where can i sell it?

Although I never took the time to check myself, I heard multiple reports about how streaming music has crappy dynamic range, and that the same song on CD or ripped vinyl always has much better range.

It would be my main reason to use the scenes…

“🙂”.reverse() == “🙃”

Hehe, I’ll have a read on that thread.

Yeah, that makes sense. It’s not so much that they are labeled weird, but that they are shocked thinking they were not…

Yup. A lot of feelings are unnecessary yet are there anyway for us to deal with them.

Nice, that makes sense. I’ll keep using weird.

Asus Zenfone are nice as well

I don’t know about unbound so I can’t really compare… OpenNic is not run by for-profit corporations, which I think is a good thing.

Opennic should be the default DNS of everybody!

I would love to self host a real debrid service where i can control what i pre-download using the “my library” feature, something similar to the *arr suite but only using the stremio interface.

And this is why tenure exists!

Mines are designated war crimes by the Geneva convention Ottawa treaty because of the indiscriminate killing. Many years ago, good human right lawyers could have extended that to drones… (Source: i had close friends in international law)

But i feel like now the tides have changed and tech companies have influenced the general population to think that ai is good enough to prevent “indiscriminate” killing.

Edit: fixed the treaty name, thanks!

Is it actually ethically acceptable to control distribution of something that naturally shares itself?

Before computers, it actually required some energy to copy the content of a book. With computers now, the action of reading an ebook will actually copy it from the hard drive to the ram. If your book is on the cloud, there’s even more copying going on. It actually takes more efforts to erase temporary copies (ex: from local cache)!

Digital copying is not the same as physical copying.

My colleague built an ultrasound walking stick for his wife, but can’t even give units to the local sight-impaired community organization due to regulations… He’s given up on getting his design certified.

If i wanted to jump through complicated hoops, I’d try paid streaming services!

Honestly, it’s a really nice piece! I should’ve waited until I was fully awake before posting 😞

It made me think about that porm “rhyme of the old mariner”, where sailors were stuck on a calm sea (no wind at all, I’m not sure what’s the real sailing term for that).

I don’t remember the full details, but a guy killed an albatross and got cursed for that. They hung the albatross around his neck as a sign of the curse.

Thus, bird + dead ship made me think of that story!
