I scroll endless for hours

If you’re at all able to, this is absolutely the thing you should focus on stopping. Can you do long walks?

10 usd for a pack of grinded meat,

That’s a pretty large pack.

Perhaps because they’re the only ones that have a chance of working.

Running out of beef would absolutely a good thing. It’s among the highest producers of CO2.

Running out of food in general not so great.

The main reason I whine to kids when they cannot put their phones down is so that they would put their phones down. I’m not passively complaining about the state of the world, I’m doing what I’m supposed to as a parent and/or older person.

compulsively adding to an enormous pile of wealth far, far beyond anything that they could ever use

Meh. It’s just work, vision and lots of luck that leads to exponential growth. And when you start getting exponential growth to your investment, stopping the process of getting richer and richer would require active work to stop it from happening.

Only in fiction do people become rich by being compulsive about it.

Meaningless detail. Better test young people for knowledge of the holocaust itself, or the fact that the current abysmal situation in Near East is a direct consequence of it.

A globally defined minimum wage is a dumb idea. Even more so if it’s defined over a large area with wildly differing economic areas. Like for instance the United States.

Yet people who should know better, like Bernie Sanders, are actively talking about raising the federal minimum wage. Instead of the obvious idea, which would be to remove the whole thing.

Why throw rocks at soldiers who are clearly ready to kill you in response? For social media points?

It’s fascinating how they were able to blockade something in 3d space with something that looked a lot like a 2d structure. Must be some Liu Cixin kind of shit going on there.

France is being pretty cool. I wish we had des couilles in Finland.

Well, at least we generated Linux itself somehow and then completely failed to keep it here. I still remember how little adoption there was at the start, and how almost everyone who was using Linux back then was regarded as some sort of an idiot savant.

I mean I was an idiot savant, but not because I was using Linux.

They are being careful. They’re just so much more agile than you.

How do you manipulate Bluesky?

The same way you manipulate Twitter, by tweaking the algorithm.

How do you algorithmically manipulate those 12M people with Mastodon? BTW, Bluesky has almost 40M users.
