I've always drawn the dividing line between people who have to work and people who choose to work. The latter can spend every waking moment of their lives ensuring that the former never, ever become one of them. And it sure looks they are succeeding. If the survival of mankind hinges on rich people willingly giving up ANY of their wealth at all, then mankind will perish. To a rich person, giving up wealth is no different than someone suggesting to you that they need to cut your nose, ears and limbs off to save humanity. You'd say no to that as well. In fact, you'd do anything to avoid this scenario. And while you're slaving away for a minimum wage that should be $25, and quibble over trans rights, the rich laugh into their fists, watching as you still don't seem to have realised that the bargaining power would be in your hands if you could just unite for a fucking second.

I don't know why you're being downvoted. Safety is my number 1 concern. The amount of times I've had to avoid dodgy / unsafe situations on public transport is crazy. Finally getting a car was the best decision ever. Until they make public transport safe, I'm not on it.

That's so interesting. A guy looking at a space goat is NSFW? I might be missing wider context here...

Why is this NSFW?

Above all: to never have to work again Stretch goal: be stupidly rich and then dedicate my resources to ensuring that there are strict limits on the amount of money / power any one person can have

That seems like good news. Interesting to see US drug policy being more lenient than the UK in many instances.

No worries, thanks!

Short and kind of pointless blog spam. Vanilla JS is faster than React. There, saved you a click.

Clicking that link doesn't seem to load the article

Thanks for the additional info. I thought Nvidia and Wayland were basically incompatible. This sounds like there's been nearly enough progress to make this a daily runner! I'm hoping to be able to switch someday, but won't for the time being.

This person titles their book "do not move to Canada", then immediately goes on to say that the book isn't about telling you not to move to Canada, but about the problems he had living there.

The first two available chapters of the book are full of grammatical and spelling mistakes...fine, the author is russian, but how about having someone proof read the book first?

It's 9.99 but the author states it can be read in one to two hours. That price is bonkers. Supposedly YouTube comments by people claiming to have made the same or similar experiences are why reading the book is worth it.

There is an overarching message here, which I can agree with: never romanticise another country as some utopian paradise. It's highly unlikely that such a place even exists. The world is a neoliberal, capitalist hellscape, where some places suck ever so slightly less because rich people have been somewhat reigned in by the rule of law, but the differences between countries are minor at best.

Just do your own research, for free.
