Short question: how would they enforce that? What if I use some obscure messenger that nobody has ever heard of? What if I simply use telnet
or netcat
to send messages to other people?

I’m introducing the theory of an “r-factor” that measures how capitalistic a country is.
r = 0 means pure socialism. Everybody gets the same amount of universal basic income, and earns nothing when they work hard.
r = 1 means pure capitalism. there is no social support programs, and what you earn depends entirely on your labour/wages.
in-between them, there’s a linear interpolation.
(i invented that “r-factor” as a thought experiment yesterday, and now i like it.)
i’m for r = 0.5 btw.
From the link:
It’s a squid-eat-squid world down there.
Sounds pretty capitalistic to me.
Do you have a minute to talk about socialism?
From the link:
A species of oceanic squid can fly more than 30 metres (100 feet) through the air at speeds faster than Usain Bolt if it wants to escape predators, Japanese researchers said Friday.
So, what’s chasing you?
I have always wondered how do you do it: How do you fly?
There’s nobody that I don’t like
Yesss.

The truth is that nobody ever really cared about anyone else
That is not true. I care about people. Please don’t make overly generalizations like that. It’s not fair.
Yeah, the question “when to ban something” is indeed a tricky one.
I propose that all good-faith arguments must be allowed, no matter whether they advocate for sovjet communism (so called tankies) or ultra-liberal capitalism or what.ever.
The only reason to ban something is if it’s personally insulting (e.g. non-sarcastic name-calling) or having the direct intention to hurt someone.
Yeah, jumping to extremes is indeed a problem for serious, honest discussions.
IMO there’s just too much money that “news” sources make by being polarizing. They know it increases their view-counts. And to them, that’s all that matters.
I think we need neutral, neutrally-financed news sources. Question is just, how do we organize that?
Hi there, I’d like to share my viewpoint.
(let me say up first that I’m not a conservative, not in the US, but still try to give good-faith understandings)
So I think a major pain point for conservatives in the US is that the traditional lifestyle (being a farmer, traditional family, …) are harder to uptain today than they were in the past.
Another issue is that conservatives don’t like that their children are being taught non-conservatives viewpoints in schools. Consider: how would you like it if your children are required to go to school by law, but then the schools don’t teach them “your” way of life, but a totally different one. It makes you angry.
Well, it lays on tables a lot, with the backside facing up.
The same could be asked with smartphones.
Why don’t smartphones include solar panels on the back side of the phone?
I would not consider integration to be basic maths, honestly. Basic maths is addition and multiplication, and maybe vector geometry.
No map in the entire article? Or did I miss it?
“The number of births is the first indicator of the hope of a people,” Francis told an annual gathering of pro-family groups on Friday.
Hope comes first, births comes second.
You can’t fake an indicator and hope for the situation to improve.
Crazy. I’ve been a long-term Musk supporter (because of meaningful business targets: EVs and Mars colonization), but these recent events I cannot support. Laying off employees while not at the same time demanding Universal Basic Income on a state level (so that no single corporation is disadvantaged) is a death sentence to the worker population, and that, I cannot support. I’m out.
For real what is it with them, where are they even trying to go with this?
Edit: I mean the Israel army. What is their end goal?
I’m worried that Maps will be hit by the enshittification next. We need a good quality maps alternative. OpenStreetMap seems ok, but it lacks a few features, including trip planning.
You shouldn’t feel pressured into making a wish.
