  • I think problem is with how basic is demand. Basic is food and nutrition? Fine, mushy food, tasteless but has all the proteins and carbs and vitamins should be available for free to everyone, but they must be Tasteless, textureless. No one should get tatsy FOOD.

    Shelter? Everyone must have comfy temperature place to sleep, but place to sleep, 2m x 0.5m x 0.5m should be made free for everyone. Maybe a 0.5m x 0.5m x 0.5m storage space for personal things.

    Healthcare should be available for everyone at all times. And it should be top tier and vast.

    Education should be available to everyone at all times.

    Prisons awaiting trials should be comfortable, but people condemned from the trial should be put to Labour.

    I think nothing else classifies as BASIC need. Taste is not a basic need. Entire house is not a BASIC need. Never give out cash to people in need.

    That’s my theory on finding balance between people unwilling to contribute to society because of benefits. And people doing terrible jobs because they don’t want to go hungry or need shelter or medical care. This way people are free to pursue ventures without the worry for BASIC needs.








  • So the trick would be to give them financial data like a good boy, so you blend with the crowd. Shop using alipay, wechat. Take trains and all. I doubt at the point they have resources to chase everyone who doesn’t post online. Since they know where I am and what I buy. I don’t like it, but if I lived in China either I go rural and die in poverty and I stay in urban to earn a living but submit some privacy to retain more. I mean if I can find some underground, I’d join to resist, but realistically how much can you resist. I don’t think I’m willing to die for absolute privacy. If I was a persecuted group like uyghr maybe I’d consider resisting to the point I might die and be tortured, but if I was han Chinese i don’t think i would.



  • I have no problem with people having fun, but my cousin buys fifa or Football manager every year. Which is fine, he has fun with it. Good. But recently he asked money for fuel. And I lost it. All he wanted was 60 dollars because he ran out budget and is maxed at credit card and payday is 3 days away. I refused stating he has spent over 90$ just this week on a game with no meaningful upgrades. never got big limits, he only has one card of $4k, so not financially irresponsible, but starting to with these kind of decision making. And I need to stop it it’s track.

    I can’t understand decision making like this, he is smart enough to know how much fuel he consumes, he bought the game when his tank was around 20-25% full. 3 days later tank is empty and now it’s borrowing time? No man fuck that.

    Almost everyone in my family keeps sending me AI generated documentary shit all the time. Problem is bets I can tell only 50% of it factual. Every single video in my family, I’m tired of debunking boss. And despite proving more than a few dozen times, that it’s not 100% reliable data, they are content in accepting half truth and half lies for at least the half is true. And it’s getting in my nerves. So yes fuck Gen AI artists. They can rot in hell.

    I’m slightly less mad at pure art promoters at least they’re not misibforming. But I’m still mad because art is human expression to me. A human has to decide every single stroke of an image, some speak more than others, but everything is intentional. Mistakes and all.

    With Gen AI there is no active decision making in most of the image, prompt was active decision sure, but the details, how each curl of hair should be, or how two colors should blend, 99% of prompter artists are not making that minute decisions. And that to me is just expressionnless. So I might hate them less, but they too can rot in hell.



  • I have three degrees, none of them have focused at all on programming. I had one c++ programming class in uni.

    In my experience, most of the IT stuff is easy-ish, if you start trying. Most people have some psychological barrier with anything looking like code. I’ll give you two examples.

    My wife would refuse to fix small issues in our home lab, but once I explained, everything we have is backed up twice. And wiped homelab to assure her that we can’t fuck up by accidental edit, we’d have a way to restore it she started trying, and she is decent at it. She even started our paperless container on her own. I had to help a bit in configuring it, but a bit. Soon she maybe able to manage everything. On the other hand.

    At work I have this junior, I’m training. First I had a json file, he got scared editing and would bug me everytime. Then I made a simple text file, variable_name space value. He was scared of that too. I finally made a csv that he would open in excel, then he felt comfortable. He refuses to even try 2 years in, because our job in not really technical and I’m not his boss.

    TLDR: start trying with simple things, backup everything, you may fail a bit, but it’s not that hard to get started with basics.
