@lain @piggo it's an ok song but i don't like the general nutjob vibe very much

@piggo @lain APT is the first pop song & video in about a decade which doesn't piss me off. good clean fun.

@lain blursed

i have rose & bruno mars stuck in my head :ablobcatrainbow:

@lain doesn't reflect well upon the people doing these studies if they question this :)

german media peddles some study about how with UBI most people aren't just chillaxing so it clearly is a great idea!

this study is pure wasted money. it's long known that about 95% of people are happy to be productive and cooperate. that's the idea of how voluntaryism works. it's nothing new. society would have collapsed if it wasn't so.

what this study _doesn't_ explain is where the magic money is coming from, except from thin air.

it's really nice if people can do what they like. great that a psychologist (she was basically starving!) can do art now. only, it's not necessarily what is in demand. someone has to fix the sewage pipes.

any UBI will just increase inflation to the point where it's worthless.

@lain es fielen die stichwörter ki gigafactories und hyperloop :)

germany to get a ministry of "high tech" 🫵 😹

@sun now that's pretty nice :kirby_happy:

installing :netbsd: on some old stuff from the drawer :ablobcatbongo:

@p @Suiseiseki @jeffcliff
gnu never got in my way, i don't mind the extra options some tools have. i use them on occasion, they save my time as i don't have to write some script, i'm lazy, after all!

a really long time ago i ran a small file server on some rigged together hardware using netbsd to store torrented stuff to watch on my flat mates giant tv. worked perfectly fine until the poor 2.5" drive gave up from the 24/7 use :blobcatghostdead: good times

i felt rambling in the sense of veering off to philosophy about bazaar and cathedral :D

@lain bei der FSF habe ich noch den eindruck das dies noch auf die kette kriegen. was deren persönliche ansichten sind kann mir ja prinzipiell erstmal egal sein. RMS z.b. hat schon wilde ansichten, aber wirkte bisher immer nach gewaltfreier einstellung.

@lain deutsche gründlichkeit!

what are these so-called values?

i read: everyone who didn't want these injections could be safely disregarded.

at the 38c3 they even had a talk with "covidiots" in the title:

> It started innocently enough: COVID-19 deniers, huddling in their own echo chambers, almost nostalgically stuck in the past.

step 1: harass everyone involved in wrongthink
step 2: ridicule those kicked out for their "echo chambers"

@p @Suiseiseki @jeffcliff all the old bell labs adjacent books are pretty good reads. only computer books coming close to be as concise and easily read are books by wirth, imo.

baroque gnu as a system (the classic system, not the modern freedesktop stuff linux is plagued with) is fine for me, the extra functionality is really handy sometimes. plan 9 is good because it opens up new ways of easily doing things. i do have a weak spot for :netbsd:, the other bsds are kind of meh to me.

maybe i just like the bazaar better?

(this turned out more rambling than intended xD)

@p that's a pretty wild story :blobcateyes: very cool read!
