You have problem with distinction between operating system development and tools used to develop it?

It’s actually blood letting. So arguably worse

And? LLM is nothing more than a tool. It has nothing to do with politics.

Do you have a reason to assume that the outsiders using proprietary insider software will do it better

What do you mean? That’s the opposite of my point.

I use Linux with ton of open source software since a decade, and it only got better, while Microsoft policies only got worse. It’s a direct empiric evidence that it works.

Because development direction in open source software is decided by engineers instead of corporate politicians

Do we kick ourselves for dotcom bubble?

If stores like Itch.io deployed crypto payments few years ago and built solid user base on it, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Not globally. Right now and for foreseeable future only crypto supports world wide. There are initiatives for EU wide payment processing but it won’t work outside

Depending on product injecting salt water is necessary - one reason is to form it into nice shape, the other is to inhibit bacteria that could produce botulin toxin in the product.

Look at the war between Ukraine and Russia. That’s your answer

There are two definitions of Anarchy in the society. Leftists think it’s some magical utopian self governing system with no upper authority, while everyone else understands it as just state of no laws being enforced.

I leave impossible utopia to others, and answer with common definitions:

Libertarian framework postulate reduction of state to absolute minimum, leaving everything to free market forces. (for better or for worse)

Anarchy is temporary state at which for some reason (war, cataclysm, ect) there’s no framework at all. It’s temporary because some people organize, and some sort of structure emerges

Since when building savings is a problem?

I wouldn’t tax rich in any special way.

I’d get rid of all income taxes, and tax the shit out of luxury good consumption

No there isn’t. In group big enough you WILL encounter selfish assholes. This is statistical certainty.

Every time some Marxist leftie talks about utopian system, they just say “I wish everyone get along and never killed, raped, or steal from others.”

Thats not how world works. You live surrounded untrustworthy people, some of which are murderers thieves and pedophiles, and the only reason they won’t abuse you is because we managed to work out framework in which there are authorities that will put those people in prisons.

If your wonderful utopian idea can’t reproduce that, it’s shit and won’t ever work

You you want true anarchy look at the African jungle. Truly no laws, no government, hunt and be hunted.

Unless you magically invent a completely new protocol that reconciles incentives of all egoistic parties without devolving to violence it’s not going to happen.

And millions of years of evolution failed to produce it naturally, so good luck

It really well promoted their DirectX API locking everyone into it. That was major part why there was no alternative to windows. But this isn’t the case anymore, since super fast translation was invented by single linux guy with Anime waifu in his avatar.
