Linux people sometimes negative towards beginners, extreme or unhelpful?... (Examples from podcast: Late Night Linux #267)... 

"It doesn't make you a bad Linux user for using Windows also."

Good Points / Notes....
♥ being an advocate and not a gatekeeper,
♥ being tolerant of other people’s choices
♥ accepting that not everyone can use Linux
♥ spreading the word that Linux has improved over the years
♥ contributing where you can

Chris from does really well in explaining typical reactions people have towards Windows etc and discusses his Promoting Linux: An End-User Manifesto video related to all this.
Chris' Channel: invidious.fdn.fr/channel/UCbiG

+ why the Raspberry Pi bubble has burst, and the present and future of RISC-V.

WHO IS DEVELOPING IT is as important as the product... 

One thing technology has shown us increasingly today is WHO IS DEVELOPING IT is as important and not just what it can do as candy or product at the end.

People *probably* want to build mindlessly, a bit like ant colony does (and having a purpose) but less naturally or with so much human-contaminated development - ONE must be careful.

Without study before investing your life energy and time is surely a mistake.

Careful Neo - think who behind each thing you use!

Flaw in Mathematics... is people and banks using numbers incorrectly!.. 

EUREKA! Taken me years to say / purify somewhat... bear with me...

Subject:
Flaw in Mathematics... is people!

Flaws relate to:
- WHO is valuing the numbers
and
- HOW

And even though can apply to many topics I feel this is BY DESIGN like a scam is but unknown to people how it works even though it seems to give them a numbers at the end... REALLY overlooked because you and others see mathematics as "pure" numbers. How could a number be wrong?

Remember WHO is managing it AND HOW.

As short examples:

$100 bill changes value if I add Quantitative Easing to the overall money pool that it exists.

Or by diluting the water, the original value is hugely effected (reduced in this case).

Money is reduced - estimated about %2 per month (or year? does it matter) and either way means what you read on your banknote IS NO WHERE NEAR THE ORIGINAL VALUE.

Imagine also that as $100 is loaned (e.g. costing you $10 to take the loan) then people are effectively paying for money so immediately worth then than $100 since millions are paying for their loans!

M = [M+fee or %]

The above compounds into sillyness about numbers and what we give each other is basically HUGELY inaccurate per dollar or whatever currency and ACTUALLY undermining all our labour.

END NOTE
I've somewhat blurted it out but re-read that and realise our life is based on hugely incorrect ways and numbers we think represent reality and stay static. It is one big scam people go along with as it sustains a kind of existence... BASED ON DEBT (WHICH IS A TYPE OF DEATH IN ANY SYSTEM!)

Fascinating or completely not?

"We propose to conceptualize science-related populism as a set of ideas which suggests that there is a morally charged antagonism between an (allegedly) virtuous ordinary people and an (allegedly) unvirtuous academic elite, and that this antagonism is due to the elite illegitimately claiming and the people legitimately demanding both science-related decision-making sovereignty and truth-speaking sovereignty."

@scott

Scott, I'm not making anything illegal. I'm trying to point out what I think are the implications of existing law (GDPR).

And, no, the 'same law' does not apply. There's a fundamental difference between passing messages to be viewed *within a network* and bundling every single post anywhere and handing that over to third parties.

The docs I linked make that clear, I think, and fedi simply doesn't do that, BS does.

Vote or Not - What's the middle?

It's the hard middle to balance or try to do that I think is as important to falling for choosing only this or that way.

Actions / Opportunity for others... I'm stuck in a loop. Naturally and by-design (by others)... 

I'm stuck in a loop. Naturally and by-design (by others)...

I am looking to exit to better loops like better addictions in life, as better ways of living others like you / others can offer me.

I think we can more responsible for each other's opportunities and activity towards offering better / more reasoned ones...

America doesn't have a health CARE system. We have a health INSURANCE system. That ain't the same thing.

When anyone walks in the door, our first question isn't "How can we fix you?", it's "How're you gonna pay for this?"

That's barbaric.

Releasing hostages is only a good deed if you didn't take the hostages in the first place.

How would your kids react if they listened to the music you listened to at their age?

Nobody can read the #SourceCode of Chrome. Not alone, not as a team. A thousand people working for a decade couldn't read the entire thing.
