Curious Carrot

@mttaggart@infosec.exchange It's like people are desperately trying to extract deterministic behaviour from a stochastic rock.

@PavelASamsonov And shortermism. Everything is optimised for the gains in the short term above everything else. Or I dare say "at all costs".

@funnymonkey If you need age verification "to keep children safe" when joining online services, maybe what you actually need is to regulate the online services instead of putting the burden on the victims.

@JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange OMG, yes!!!

@leodurruti@puntarella.party Se nun c'è panificazione nun m'arzo.

@jgordon@appdot.net @codinghorror@infosec.exchange I believe the point is "should the work be essential for survival, or can we all agree that we all deserve to have a life regardless of work?" When people are presented with the option to not work, they usually choose it. And then they find something else to do with their time, they find "meaning" in other activities outside of work. Waged work shouldn't be linked to survival, nor should be the reason for "meaning" in life.

@brad_frost Let them play with CSS filters for silly image manipulation.

@jgordon@appdot.net @codinghorror@infosec.exchange There is a whole book, which is a surprisingly easy read. Have fun :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopia_for_Realists

@jgordon@appdot.net @codinghorror@infosec.exchange Currently: You sell your labour for a wage. You spend your wage for food and shelter in order to have a life. Summary: work is essential for survival My point: Everyone's basic needs are met (including food and shelter) You spend your time however you like, including doing activities that we currently see as "work". Summary: your survival is not dependant whether or not you have a job Please, forgive the oversimplification, but I hope the point is clearer, now.

@cks@mastodon.social Apologies, I might be asking a question you already answered. What would be a more user-friendly data format? What would you recommend?

@slightlyoff@toot.cafe Alex, I love you! :D Thank you for bringing these things up. I'm looking forward to the blog post.
