Instead of a staged cage fight between two bloodsucking billionaires, how about a real fight between the billionaires, and all their underpaid employees?

Microsoft could long have ditched their bloatware in favor a slick, popular Linux, from a trusted brand.

But...
Kernel = Ego

How about Linux kernel with a BSD system call mapping, a compatibility layer, so you could run the Linux kernel, instead of Darwin, on macOS.

Or, a kernel-agnostic cloud computing environment, where various large programming tasks are predictively bench-marked against various Linux / BSD kernels, and the optimal kernel is chosen.

A restaurant called,
"Serious Gourmet Shit"

The food will be absolutely delicious, but will be carefully prepared to look absolutely disgusting.

We will serve you steaming turds on a plate, and bright yellow piss in a cup.

You will literally eat shit, and love it!

Hear me out:

An Automated Scripture Quote Generator script that quotes a random verse from scripture,
to confuddle your religious adversaries in any debate.

It is simple. Just sit back in satisfaction as the fundamentalists go crazy,
trying to decipher what secret message a Celestial Voice has sent to them personally, in that moment, through you, as a passage from the True Word of God, in the one particular text that they have memorized obsessively in their quest for meaning.

Here's how it works:

Them: "You're gay. You're going to hell!"

You [silently give them a random quotation, and walk away smiling]:

"Galaga 4:20"

You can even print some of them, like fortune cookie notes, and carry them in your pocket for emergencies.

Now, you don't have to recoil when a condescending religious person tries to quote their scripture in code to you.

Like IN'n'OUT burger, with their religion shoved into your mouth along with their hot, juicy meat.
Fuckin' drown 'em in that shit!
Let the whole Internet be so full of this crap that it becomes meaningless.

I will talk at #tedxfreiburg about @matrix

i will try to explain how #matrix is a chance to "cure" our beautiful internet from those centralised messengers. so we stay in control and are able to own our conversations.

credits go to @julectiv to convince me and to @greve set my mindset into the brave #gnu world. to @fosdem to set the stage for @matthew in 2015 ;)

When I make a new friend on Mastodon, if we mutually follow each other, I try to take some time to peek at their Posts & Replies. This helps me see the world through their eyes, and understand them better. I show appreciation by liking/boosting specific posts and posting replies asking questions to learn more. I am aiming to do this more intentionally, and wish more people did it. Having so much fun and getting so much more out of the experience!

@ceoln @tripu @Radical_EgoCom

Interesting discussion, with some good points on both sides. I have an idea for a compromise, a reconciliation, a better way. Instead of stepping into the eternal battle between force and counterforce and identifying with one, I will offer something new that opens with the gentle force of a blossoming flower, smiling up at the Sun, knowing how many of its comrades died under the concrete and were not privileged to see the sunlight.

I propose a cryptocurrency with 3 goals:

1. Be environmentally friendly. Ethereum uses Proof of Stake which leads to Oligarchy. Bitcoin uses Proof of Work which leads to wasted electricity. Instead, use a Proof of Computational Work done on Socially Beneficial Projects.

2. Be private. Each citizen should have anonymity guaranteed,

3. Have Universal Basic Income built in. Periodically, a share of all the wealth will get allocated equally to each citizen. Commerce can go on as usual. People can create things and sell them. Do whatever with them. But the money truly will trickle down, as a guaranteed feature of the system. The people at the bottom will not live with food insecurity.

This currency won't need private property to be abolished overnight. But private property will be displaced by the common good, by the sheer force of the masses choosing this currency over the Dollar or the Pound.

Will this create a class of slackers, freeloaders, "takers", who contribute nothing of material value to the economy? We will just have to get past this phenomenon. If wealth were really distributed fairly, if the fruits of technological advancement were to create a life of leisure, then surely we expect people to have lots of resources and nothing to do with their time.

Will society fall into chaos and meaninglessness when people are able to live without the fear of poverty? Will decadent societies raised on violent movies and games turn to needless crime, just to have something to do? Will we become couch potatoes plugged into VR headsets, consuming junk?
Do we necessarily need Pharoahs whipping us into shape hauling blocks into Pyramids, or Priests telling us to carve stones into deities? Will we go crazy with too much time on our hands?

We could find meaning in Arts and Sciences, in a life of Splendid Uselessness, in being lifelong learners and teachers. The whole planet would be run by volunteers. Volunteer Beekeepers of Earth. Volunteer Linux SysAdmins of Earth. We would get up and do things we choose to, because they are fun for us, and serve the community at large. We would mediate and heal our minds, and discard the violence we absorbed in the past. That day could come soon. We have to make it happen.

Here is a piece I wrote on 2023/03/11 ( 48 hours ago ), before the recent jump in Bitcoin prices:

The Elite have kept the masses in servitude since before the time of the Pharoahs. However, we now need to start imagining a whole different social structure than the Pyramid.

For example: Consider a new cryptocurrency designed from the ground up with these 3 goals:

1. Be environmentally friendly. This goal could be accomplished by changing the current proof-of-work system to use computational work done on socially beneficial projects.

2. Be private. This currency would support transaction privacy.

3. Have Universal Basic Income built in. This is not a top down, government controlled UBI, but a built-in feature of the system, aimed at keeping a portion of the overall wealth distributed evenly among all people.

Currently the Elite control the masses with the carrot ( desire for material goods ) and the stick ( fear of poverty ). With these two motivators, they keep us chasing fiat money, which they control. That is how the governments and corporations enslave us to the Matrix.

With cryptocurrencies, people have cheap, private, uncensorable transactions. People can now choose how to allocate the USD, GBP, BTC, or ETH in their wallets. As fiat currencies destabilize, and people grow disillusioned with artificial inflation, and scarcity, they are bound to shift their investments out of fiat currencies and into cryptocurrencies which are inflation resistant by design.

This is where there is the opportunity for a socially beneficial, grassroots cryptocurrency to step in, bypass top down controls, and change the socio-economic order of the world. Imagine people saying, "Sorry, we don't take USD. Too unstable. Do you have EarthCoin?"

"You probably know what it’s like to be left out. You know what it’s like that everyone is a part of something, and you’re not. You know what it’s like to be the outsider, and in fact you know what it’s like being the #minority.

Because I believe that this #language of being a minority is one of the most important languages you can ever learn.

Because at some point in our #life we will all be in that position of compromise, and at some point we’ll all be in that position of power. And if you can tap into what you felt when you were that minority, how you handle that power will be an immense, immense gift that you can give to the #world.”

In #England, in a "pilot test", #Esperanto was taught to Primary #School pupils.

In an #English lesson, they got the exercise to encircle the adjective in a sentence.
Many of the #pupils translated the sentence to Esperanto, as it was much easier to understand, which was the adjective.

So, by the use of Esperanto, English literacy can be improved in #children's native language learning.

Amazing, isn't it? 😀
