My Steam Deck is a "Baba is me" machine right now, most of the time. It is a neat little puzzle game to play while sitting on the couch.

Ok, negativ interest rate sounds interesting and maybe doable. It is something I have to read more about, I see a few issues but have not enough information yet.

Adding money to a digital bank account is equal to printing money. You don't have to physically print money to print money

Yes, but I did in the text that you answered too. By the law of inference your answer was about printing money too, because my whole text was about that printing money out of thin air will create inflation.

Taxes on pollution, carbon emissions etc. would raise the costs of living and would therefore mean that the UBI would need to be higher to accommodate for the higher costs. Which means that a huge part of these taxes would be payed in proxy by the government. Rendering it useless as a method to fund the UBI.

The costs for a UBI are just so enormous, and all on the shoulders of the working class, because those are the majority of tax payers.

If you have a million people, old, young, in between, and a working rate of 60% (because the other 40% are too old or too young or can't/doesn' t want to work) and pay everyone 1000$ as UBI. That would mean that a billion dollars has to be payed by 600.000 people, so every working citizen has to pay 1667$ to receive 1000$ in return. This means that working people don't get a UBI because they have to pay more then they get.

And those 1667$ taxes would only be for the UBI, meaning that the taxes would be much higher to pay for all the other costs that the state has.

Beeing deficit doesn't have to mean that they print money, they can be deficit by taking higher and higher loans. Which comes with it's own problems.

Spiele sind deutlich weniger problematisch heutzutage, nicht zuletzt wegen dem Steam Deck. Sehr viele Spiele laufen heutzutage ohne Probleme oder Anpassung direkt. Meine Erfahrungen beruhen jedoch rein auf Singleplayer Erfahrungen, bei Multiplayer machen Anticheat Systeme wohl immer wieder Probleme aber dazu kann ich nichts sagen.

Seiten wie https://www.protondb.com/ oder https://appdb.winehq.org/ helfen um sich einen Überblick darüber zu verschaffen wie gut/schlecht bestimmte Spiele unter Linux laufen.

Tools wie Lutris https://lutris.net/ machen die Verwaltung von Spielen unter Linux noch Mal einfacher.

Ich spiele inzwischen fast ausschließlich unter Linux, einzige Ausnahmen sind Starfield und Skyrim. Beide Spiele laufen grundsätzlich problemlos, ich bin nur unfähig den ModOrganizer 2 und all die anderen Tools für ein gemoddetes Spielen ordentlich zum laufen zu bekommen unter Linux.

Printing large amounts of money out of thin air is a great way to turn a valuable currency into worthless Monopoly® money via inflation. That is basic economics. There are lots of examples for that in history.

Debt is not a reliable money source, in the long run it is a huge money sink with payments and interests. So yes, the only money source for governments are taxes.

The biggest issue with UBI is that it will never work, the math just doesn't add up.

1. Where does the money come from? The government only really has one source of money and that is taxes, so to pay UBI it would either need to raise taxes or massive cut on other expanses.
2. Should a solution be found for 1) and everyone (universal means that everyone will automatically qualify for it, no questions asked) will be paid UBI then the prices for housing, food and all the other basic things will skyrocket because a) of the higher demand and b) because of the higher amount of money in circulation creating inflation.
3. The higher prices will mean that the amount of UBI money must be raised, which means we are back at 1)

Holodecks, Replicators and Transporters share huge parts of their technology. A holodeck is more or less just a clever combination of the other two, completed by lots of forcefields.

So I would take the Holodeck and reverse engineer the other two from that.
