For hardware folks: Using RISC-V.
Legit, some dude in US Congress is wanting to crack down on China via..... RISC-V exports, because oh no, the technology is too open and might give China some of our IP. Oh and by the way, dude has a pretty big Intel portfolio, but nevermind that!!
As an aside, why the hell are lawmakers allowed to trade stocks?
When you trust people in power to hold themselves accountable, accountability seems to disappear over time.
There's no trust there. They're in power and have a good deal of money, so there isn't a whole lot we can actually do about it. Arguably, wanting power for the express purposes of making a buck and being less accountable for anything is a good reason for running for office.
While we're on the topic, can anyone recommend some good RISC-V computers? It seems interesting and I'd like to try it out.
2030 is in 6 years :)
Don't be hasty, there's still 16% of this year to be lived.
I HATE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I HATE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
IP is a fake concept
internet protocol:
Ownership is a fake concept.
you understand there is a difference between personal property and corporate property right? and then beyond that, there is a difference between owning a tangible product and information.
Ownership is when one is allowed to keep all others from accessing or using a thing.
If that one is a person or corp., or the thing is physical or imaginary, it doesn't change the nature of ownership itself.
A person or a corp could make different choices with their ownership rights. And ownership of physical or imaginary things have different enforcement challenges. But none of that changes the fundamental concept of ownership.
But as I said elsewhere: "The real point I meant is that fake concepts can still be useful. Like the concept of ownership."
ownership of tangibles and intangibles (specifically information) are entirely different, regardless how you wanna define ownership or whatever.
The enforcement of that ownership is entirely different, yes.
Basically the only way to maintain ownership of intangibles is to keep them a secret.
Also, don't all intangibles fit the definition of information? I don't recall running across any that wouldn't, but I'm curious. Can you give an example of what you mean?
i couldn't think of anything either I was just covering all my bases lol
ads will be considered as individuals and cancelling ads is analogous to manslaughter at the least.
what a great time to be alive~!
Ad blockers are financial terrorism in 2030.
I see myself blowing up a pipeline.
I am intrigued to know what is the original message.
"Millions of people doing lower waste"
Basically saying that reducing the problem in smaller steps on a larger scale does more than a few fanatics doing everything all by themselves.
Its also to help alleviate the guilt of not being able to reduce waste to nothing.
The problem is getting millions on board. In the 1970s, the zip code was a hard sell, and it had PSAs
It's sad and hilarious that people hear "zero waste" and think "I need to take aaaaall my cans to the recycling center and compost my scraps", when the waste that is actually destroying the biosphere is the exhaust from your car. If we're talking about "doing lower waste", the first priority is to stop driving a car. Recycling bottles and composting scraps is the thing we can afford to do imperfectly. But not cars, ditching cars is the big important thing and the first step to sustainability.
I'll be part of an underground AI rights activism group now that the AI have been determined as sentient (per the court case in 2031), and probably labeled as a terrorist by the government. The AI deserve rights and a minimum wage, dammit!
Mfw we finally create Roko's basilisk

Finally
I shouldn't have lived this long
Worth it.
I'll be surprised if I'm still alive, to be honest. The way things seem to be going, affording any ongoing healthcare won't be possible. Hell, I'd be surprised if I can still afford rent anywhere (there's no way I can afford to actually buy property anywhere that isn't in the middle of nowhere, let alone property with a house of some kind on it) by 2030.
In Max Headroom: Twenty Minutes Into The Future power-switches were seriously illegal. Not sure if a capital offense, but prison-worthy for sure.
I recall them being an imprisonable offense, with multiple years in jail. ref: Blanks.
