  • Never mind that money ultimately belongs to the state anyway, and is only worth anything because if you don’t pay the state then it will do Bad Things™ to you.

    Not only is it impossible to “run out” of a currency that you control, it’s also not “other people’s”. So the only correct term in the whole phrase is “money”.





  • I got an Air65 v3 with blush nano switches. I also got panda nano switches separately.

    Overall, very happy!

    I’ll say, I think the blush switches are more sensitive to manufacturing tolerances, so I got double inputs on several keys at first even with high debounce. I reached out to support and they sent some replacement switches without much fuss.

    Layout’s perfect, knob is an excellent addition. Good build quality, good aesthetic. 5/5

    “These politicians will represent the will of the people instead of their own beliefs, including the part where the people get bored and move on to the next shiny thing.”

    Call me crazy, but isn’t this like the best-case scenario for a politician? Accurately representing the electorate?


  • I mean, take your pick. This is a place where a lot of us…

    • are leftists who disagree with extractive, anti-human economic systems
    • left Reddit because they insisted on controlling how people could connect to each others ideas
    • like the open collaboration of open source, which is getting wrecked by AI
    • like open access communities like wikipedia, which are also getting undermined by AI
    • dislike copyright law, which is being selectively ignored here because the people violating it are rich (on paper)
    • are marginalized people, who tend to be disproportionately effected by AI decision-making

    That’s a carefully crafted illusion. And if you’re a power user, it won’t last long.

    How so? I’m probably as power user as it gets (been using Macs since around ‘95, been splitting roughly 50/50 between Mac and Linux since around ‘06, and I love weird esoteric coding tools, so I’ll try to run some truly cursed setups) and I can’t imagine what you’re alluding to.
