That's not skill, it's networks and resources you ALREADY HAVE.

Bears shit in the forest. This is not a 'skill'. They shit in the forest because that's where they happen to be.

It's the same with billionaires, they were just born in that environment. You confuse bears shitting in the forest with a demonstration of skill.

If you place one out of context, it will shit on your carpet instead. Except then you will not consider it a 'skill' but something distasteful.

The solution to all/most of these points is open source software & hardware.

[–] andymouse 5 points 11 months ago

Nowadays the main question is whether it's open source or not. Anything closed source sucks, or will imminently suck. The more open source it is, the more modular, the more repairable, etc.

Yes this goes for hardware too.

Another point: Avoid 'smart' devices at all costs. They are hardware spyware, full stop, and will stop working whenever it is deemed you need to buy a new one.

What we're avoiding is capitalist opportuism hidden in tech and the solution for that is not to find a good provider. The solution is to find a provider that has a 'business model' that protects against the brunt of this extractive BS.

Yeah. And they're not even killing off the Germans! This doesn't make any sense!

Power is like a black hole. This isn't about wealth, it's about power. It's only concern is growing itself.

This is what I learned from the Lord of the Rings.

Becoming a billionaire is never about skill, or 'spending time effectively'. Fast growth is also not a feat of a billionaire.

I think you are grasping for a superhero that doesn't exist.

My school teacher taught me I should be surprised at things like this.

Luckily, I am no longer 12.

Hmm hmm. I'd recommend reading this: https://crimethinc.com/2019/04/08/against-the-logic-of-the-guillotine-why-the-paris-commune-burned-the-guillotine-and-we-should-too

It argues for why capital punishment is not necessarily a good route to go.

Yes, slavery. It's been around for ages.

In 1962 there were no "lethal autonomous weapons".

Only if other people can't hear you or you'll be a disturber of the peace.
