I had an old laptop, and my WiFi required some kind of cutter driver that wrapped broadcom, my Intel graphics didn’t work on newer kernels. It booted in 7 seconds on a 5400rpm disk though while XP took minutes.

Oh god, was there even a maximize button so you could maximize your windows?

Womp womp

Not on the current scenario.

They excluded housing appreciation from the CPI in the late 80s, created 30 year loans, massive bailouts adding to moral hazard; I agree its neoliberalism, deregulating the money supply growth made people over leverage to profit off the cantillon effect, obviously leading to asset bubbles.

The money supply now grows at 10% a year. People are okay with huge leverage into real estate because housing always goes up, as their currency always goes down. The farther you were born from the gold standard the poorer you will likely be.

With tablets and software its easier than ever to produce and share art, it doesn’t have to be a job any more because its so easy to produce and share. It’s not a bad thing, we can create whatever art we want with ease, unlimited abundance. Let’s not paint that positive reality like a bad thing.

Is digital art itself bad, because its not the human doing all of it?

Is it ableist to not define AI art as art, when handicapped people can’t perform the same actions?

Does it not create an abundance of art, and thus expands the entire field making it evolve well beyond its current state?

Gate keeping art is silly regardless, you can’t stop it. Just be happy you could make people pay for it while you could, like coal shovelers and blacksmiths things change.

The bank. Who pops money into existence out of nothing with no reserve requirement.

You’re mortgage isn’t borrowed from Bill down the street, its created from the ether.

This is because boomers now consume less, so currency needs to be debased to provide the level of consumption to increase, to match 2% inflation.

The less people consume as demographics age the more repressed the youth will be, as we lock up inelastic goods behind massive debt. It doesn’t matter how nominally rich boomers get, if they don’t consume our money supply will grow.

People speculate with cheap mortgage debt, nobody is spending their own money.

They could also just as easily be speculating that the currency will inflate and it will debase their debt, as the Fed does QE.

The further you get from the gold standard the worse it gets. Because debt needs to grow to pay past debt, and mortgage debt is what we use to boost GDP.

Proton mail has an email and VPN together as a package.

The pen is, mightier than the sword.

Its almost like low taxes and loose monetary policy leads to share buybacks and shittier products as the CPI reports rapid deflation and more share buybacks with debt accrual.

FF5 is the best one too. Though mystic quest had the best music.

If your system relies on censoring opposition to it then its probably not very good.

Luckily by the time you get there I’m sure you will feel it will be yourself soon, and will be more a feeling of existential dread than a fear of loss.

But what makes it sad, death is the harm of deprivation, presupposing lack, loss, or absence of some future goods. At the same time, people deprived of things valuable for them try to acquire them joining some movements or struggling for some privileges.

The 2% inflation target that excludes all investments you mean, so that we must consume more every year otherwise interest rates collapse and we gush out money like a sprinkler, as the rich load up on debt to short cash with their ever inflating collateral while gold and houses rise 10% a year.
