     @KuteboiCoder @shortstories @vriska @frogzone everybody obsesses over the class they deem as losers when it comes to this, even though every time we study this exact problem the majority of people actually feel a vague sense of fairness and needing to restore the balance of such a situation (ex. people who are given things feel like they need to make up for it somehow)

     speaking as somebody who was raised by a #mentallyill single mother who was on #disability her entire life, I think #ubi is a shitty idea. The entire social safety net welfare state promotes entitled and disloyal and dysgenic populations.
     
     If my mom wasn't getting paid by the gov for me, she would have handed me off to grandma to raise me like grandma wanted. Grandma knew best. My health still wouldn't be perfect but I would still be a hell of a lot better off in life.

     @vriska @shortstories @KuteboiCoder don't get me started on the muskreant brainchipped one.

     there is a lot (an i mean A LOT) to be said for a #ubi.... notes and coins need to be an option for getting a ubi because not everyone has access to online services, especially post-covid during what i will call the #GreatUnpersoning.

     No job means free insurance in U.S.A.

     Free insurance means free evaluations to get a disability

     See a psychologist or mental health counselor and tell them that you do not feel well because you can not get or keep a job

     Try to steer it toward seeing a fancy person to give you a free neouropsychological exam to test for a disability

     There are a lot of them autism, ADHD, schizophrenia, etc.

     Apply for disability a lot of times once they diagnose you until they are tired of saying no

     @KuteboiCoder @frogzone @shortstories @vriska my real issue is that UBI is typically pushed by socioipaths and monsters as a way to get consent for govenrment dependence, not because they ACTUALLY believe economics is failed and needs refactored (C. H. Douglas, Stafford Beer, Ashby)

     @KuteboiCoder @shortstories @vriska @frogzone modern economics comes from kings scamming people in to paying for the military industrial complex*. they paid soldiers in meaningless coins and taxed peasants so they were forced to trade food and goods to soldiers to afford the tax. it does exactly what it was meant to do.
     
     a handful of people like douglas realized under an engineering lens that economics is not functioning (though he presumes it was meant to benefit the populace) and came up with social credit in an attempt to repair it.
     
     ashby and beer approached trying to make a grammar to study and optimize organization of a workforce (beer directly says in Designing Freedom they should be 'optimizing for liberty') in hopes of mitigating the existence of management

     economics has never really "worked" - there has always speculative booms and busts, wars over resources, and a large subsistence-worker underclass - but we're still here, right? a million years after the first monkey bartered meat for fruit, right?
     
     we don't actually need the economy to work in a utopian fashion. If some smart dude sketches it out on a chalkboard and says "here's an equation that explains why everything is fucked" the other 7 billion of us don't actually need to do something about it.

     and... there's nothing that can be done about it - first of all - because people don't want to believe there is a problem. Being a retard and being treated as a retard should be exceptional.
     
     People don't want to consider themselves or their kids in that dichotomy. "Either my kids are dumber than all other other kids and always will be... or else we're just scamming the system for free tutoring and inflated grades."
     
     So instead we pretend that there's no problem, also daddies beat their kids in the fifties and that's bad

     @amerika @vriska @shortstories @KuteboiCoder @icedquinn >We don't need a #UBI... we need fewer people in the workforce

     that is part of what a ubi is designed to solve, it allows people to leave a workplace setting much easier, it also allows people to leave an abusive living situation, easier. it allows them to keep a roof over their head while they care for loved ones, or work in the volunteer economy, and the world NEEDS more people volunteering in their local communities. it needs more historians so we don't repeat history, more "real" artists, and more passion projects.

     the "means testing" and enforcement that goes on with the social safety net system is not only ineefective and wasteful, it costs as much to FUND as the money it doles out. It entrenches many busywork (bullcrap) jobs, and fills our roads with traffic jams that would not exist with a UBI, it forces govts to waste huge amounts of resources on infrastrure that would NOT be needed. Giving everyone a little to live on that is proportionate to the nations national income is not inflationary, but it would go down dramatically during periods when the country is not exporting enough.

     So there is still a good incentive for everyone to do their part to improve the nation as a whole, or their baseline income drops.

     Well, I'm having a fine #Thanksgiving I guess. I've got no-one to see and nowhere to go. I'll have some store-bought pumpkin pie later.
     
     I'm working on a #terraform #opentofu build script (abstracted into a gnu make makefile). I intend for this to be the boilerplate code that I use to bootstrap up servers and containers for... anything. Anything I want, in the future. Chatbots, video streaming apps, wordpress educational quiz sites, anything I can dream up.
     
     I should have started on this long time ago. Journey of a thousand miles, eh?

     one of my provocative opinions - one that's bound to be unwelcome in WN nazsoc #fedi - is that #firstworld societies produce progressively #dysgenic populations more than the brown third world.
     
     Referring, of course, to middle-class people who need lots of drugs and #therapy to cope with their boring jobs and lives. How would you survive poverty? How would you survive oppression?
     
     #Thirdworld countries produce large shitty populations, but first world populations produce mid populations that become shitty over time.

     This is more like the 1920s progressives and Victorian futurists who worried about what society was doing to people.
     
     Societies protect the individual, but the individual then chooses to avoid reality and pursuie illusion and turns himself into a bloated sofa person like in "Demolition Man."

     Celebrating the new year by starting on building out a bootstrap web app codebase from scratch. Just #helloWorld nonsense that supports login, logout, notifications, swipeable galleries and timelines, etc.
     
     I'm abandoning my #openTofu #AI project for the time being, because the stupid cloud provider doesn't support launching cloud GPU via webservice, even though they have cloud #GPU, and even though they have a web API that can launch #VPS and other services.

     My helloWorld app is gonna be pretty useless, to start with, but I still have to do it so that I have a codebase to use for a useful app of some sort.
     
     I don't want to simply copy a tutorial for, say, a simple ReactJS app because you don't learn as much, and because your finished product is unmistakably a clone of every other app using that framework and tutorial. Plus you can't really do anything to optimize performance; whereas starting from nothing-nothing you decide what libraries and utility functions you need.

     I'm learning just a tad-bit about #AMD ( #asynchronous #module #dependencies ) and #RequireJS. I've always been too retarded to do anything with #Webpack, because it needs to be running server-side as well as clientside in the browser (I think). Dependencies bundled together in real time, at the server side, plus whatever minifier and obfuscation they decide to add.
     
     With RequireJS, it just needs to find static JS files in the URL folder structure it expects. So you can use really any webserver.

     Discovered that #RequireJS is able to run in the browser and load dependencies and such, just from a local HTML file opened in the browser! You don't even need a webserver, just Ctrl + O and select index.html
     
     So much easier than figuring out how to configure a specific webserver for a given language and framework. Oh noes, I'm running webpack to send JS to the browser, better figure out how to get Express.js running

     It's a bit obsoleted now, given that #ES6 modules are in.
     
     Still, if I can learn #asynchronous #dependency #loading with #RequireJS then it's probably fairly trivial to upskill to #ES6.
