Pretty easy to prove you didn’t commit a crime that hasn’t happened, no?

Fuck commission based sales.

But then you’re buying the phone from google, which is not great if you’re trying to boycott google.

OOP smells like a pro-putin propaganda account. Someone else doing something bad doesn’t make your own acts of murder any more justifiable, especially when you’re murdering someone completely different than the wrongdoer.

You can scan a document to PDF, sometimes the default orientation isn’t correct.

You mean you don’t open the terminal and use mkdir?

I mean, so do I, but it’s not something I ever needed to do on a phone.

Oh, you mean characters that are actually on the keyboard. I thought you meant stuff like ‘Δ’ or ‘°’

Do you know how to create a directory on your phone? Lots of kids have never used a desktop/laptop, just phones and tablets.

That’s not one helpdesk needs to know, unless you’re in a specific niche where it’s relevant to how your normal users interact with your product. (For example, some backend service, where your users are web devs)

Yes, helpdesk should know the basic steps that happen when you power on a computer.

I put it on full power until part of it starts boiling, then reduce power to low until it’s heated through.

The problem is that the user usually can’t tell if the AI output is infringing someone’s copyright or not unless they’ve seen all the training data.

None of my devices have one that’s lacking a physical switch to disable it.

What would it take to pass a constitutional amendment for ranked choice voting, or any other voting system without a spoiler effect?

Spoiler: not by voting

IMO, license and cloud bullshit is more trouble than just learning the quirks of FreeCAD.

Um, why is tungsten green?

Really there’s a lot of green there that I wouldn’t lick.

Maybe the value of real estate held by corporations is assigned proportionally to the shareholders? Maybe the tax rate is determined by whichever intermediate owner results in the highest rate.

I don’t see why you can’t make it enforceable and effective with less complexity than the current tax system.

Money represents things you do deserve, like the value created by your own work, as well as things you have no moral claim to, like natural resources. What makes sense to me is that the land is owned collectively. The property taxes are effectively rent to the rest of the population, and those that consider it most valuable should get to use it. I also think there should be separate taxes for things that devalue the land, like extracting minerals. You can still make a profit from extracting minerals based on the value added by your own work, but you need to pay the rest of humanity for their share of the minerals themselves.

Have to consider both the ideal and the existing situation for the best next step. Housing is a combination of value both created by human effort, and an accumulation of natural resources. I think what I’ve proposed is a big step towards fair allocation of housing, but critically, also something that could actually be implemented.

Why? You can force them to sell you a property and pay less on the mortgage than they pay on the same property on taxes.
