  • I’ve used Linux Desktop both personal and at work since 2003, I guess I got lucky with where I worked, they always allowed it as long as I could do everything that needed to be done.

    Then again, I was either the owner or CTO level for the last decade or so, and just made those decisions myself.

    Now I’m trying to push my current company to switch completely to Linux, and it ain’t easy. Not because of Linux, that part is fine and whatever easy, but because Microsoft worked hard to ensure you can’t escape their fucking clutches.

    Moving away from teams, for example, will be a tough one, because most of our customers and government have complety relented to Microsoft, and you MUST use teams to talk to them.

    So then what? Use different messengers internally and externally? I’m still not sure how to get rid of that part, but for the rest, we are going off the microshit soon



  • None of that seems very hard

    Find other people and invest with a group. You’ll end up with loads of companies with lots of small shareholders. If your shares become worth souch that you go over the 10M, you’ll have to sell some or have some taxes for taxes.

    Maybe have governments fund independent investment foundations that can help setup startups

    This isn’t even a utopia, it’s literally current capitalism with a small set of core rules added that will make a huge difference between now and how it could be.

    It could be that nobody has to be poor anymore. Governments will have huge incomes so loads of money for socialist projects like free education and healthcare and housing.

    The few problems I’ve seen mentioned so far, to me, are literally details that follow from the core rules.

    Nobody can be worth more than X (and for now, say that X is 10M) and companies cannot be worth more than Y (let’s say 1 billion dollars). Both values can be +/- 5% if you hover at the limit, that doesn’t really matter much. What does matter is that we’re now finally all equal and still have capitalism as the core engine, allowing for all the freedoms we have today





  • Grok is an LLM, a fancy word distance measuring database, if you will, that has no opinions, it says nothing

    Elmo put certain concepts about himself closer together, making it more likely that the database outputs phrases that are more positive about Elmo. It’s sad, Elmo is a sad puppet with multiple drug addictions, and a severe narcissistic personality mixed with a huge inferiority complex, somehow.

    Elmo is the richest puppet in the world yet craves being loved yet is only capable of actions that make him more hated. So is Elmo’s curse. Elmo is sad.

    Wanna avoid this sad story for other puppets?

    Prohibit multi millionaires, cap personal netwoths at 10-20 million dollars. Nobody should be allowed to be worth more than that and any worth over that goes to taxes.

    Prohibit companies to have a net worth of over a billion dollars. Anything over that, all to taxes
