Why, instead of groups of workers simply acting on the free gifts of nature, advancing streams of material resources to one another, and using a simple unit of account to track the balance of these advances of material resources and who owes what to whom, do they have to go to someone who is in possession of stockpiles of these imaginary paper claims?
Because when you allow them to hold people accountable, people forget but the records do not. People slip, make mistakes. There are unavoidable extenuating circumstances. Factors beyond their control. Even natural disasters. So your "balanced" accounting ends up with owing units to others. And since your military pillages and imprisons people in order to keep the accounting books balanced, they have to pay back their debts or suffer and die. And of course people with a shred of decency won't do that, while people without struggle mightily to "take risks" to get their grubby mitts on every inequality they can.
Soon the champions of suffering, sadists beyond measure, have all the units, and everyone else is in their debt, pressed by their own military into slavery without end.
So basically you're a dumbass for using money and rich fucks will turn it against the people every time. Just make friends, and respect territory, and don't bother balancing every f*cking transaction, especially not for tax purposes. If you can't pay back the money you owe, then we burn the books. They're not worth enslaving a single soul.

So, I just figured out another reason charity sucks sweaty monkey balls. Food donated to charity; grocery stores love to do that! They'll donate tons of food for the needy. It's all expired, possibly rotting food that they can no longer sell, but who are you to complain? It's free!
Universal basic income, now. Stores can't save all the good food for the not-poors that way. That's why food stamps are so powerful, and charities are so pathetic. You only take donations? How about go and demand the needy's fair share from those generous donors?

Well, let's say you and I want to secretly exchange stuff nontransparently, but all we have is append only logs. I add a private message to you, to my append only log, that says I'm starting a different append only log. Using that log (only shared between us) we exchange secrets. So everything I publish is completely transparent except for everything that isn't.
I don't think there are any use cases for blockchains. It's just spinning your wheels for what seems like it'd be useful, but there are always better ways to do it.

2026-03-02 04:43:01 UTC

Reason I roll my eyes every time I hear "append-only log" is it's completely useless and unnecessary. We already have things called "hard disks" that can save a log, with no obligation to delete it once saved. And to use an append-only log, you have to sign new updates to it, otherwise anyone could start appending to your log. So why not use the signing key for identification? If you do that, what's the point of the log?
Just reading this code it's like INVALID_PROOF, verifyUpgrade(proof), class TreeProof, settleProof() all to prove that your current log entry refers to all past log entries. Why would you care if someone's latest log refers to all their past logs? What's invalid about them removing a past log, and publishing that as an update? Just...
1. keep a list of root hashes for every log
2. someone sends you a signed root hash for their latest log
3. it's verified. you're done. Add it to the list.
4. download the rest of the latest log later.
Why does no one do that? It's not append-only, because why would it need to be? To keep me from deleting a log entry on my own log? You have all the old root hashes! If I delete a log entry or edit one in my latest log, just look at those old ones.

It was Lennart Pottering's uh... "passion" project. He's the one who demanded we all use his sound server even though it added a layer of complexity and a new point of failure, and sound already worked. You might know it as PulseAudio. That particular fellow realized a critical vulnerability in the "open source" community. None of us compile anything anymore.
So if he could get projects to add "optional" systemd support that could only be removed at compile time, then binary distributions like Debian or Arch had to choose: require systemd, or forbid it. He also has big influence in the Redhat project, so they turned everything to use systemd, and their users couldn't do shit about it. Debian/Ubuntu followed, and Arch was soon after. Because once most people (using Redhat) were using systemd, they went through the trouble of learning how to use it, and came to expect it.
Even if it could be made secure, the way it was introduced makes it really hard to avoid vulnerabilities, because uh... it's mandatory, so you just have to hope it's secure. And it's a big fat kitchen sink project with no discipline about keeping things secure, because it's mandatory, so they're accountable for nothing.

Why didn't they design it this way in the first place??

It's a classic technique of the rich bastards to try and get us overwhelmed with focusing on the little problems. Something I've heard called "The Terrible Trivium." Getting mad about littering, or about women's bodies, or religion, or even sports teams. I don't want to say abuse is a "little thing" but they'll use anything to keep us exhausted and at odds with each other. So that's all I'm worried about.

I'm sorry I didn't know. That sucks. All I was commenting on was the way you said it. We can't focus on everyone at once we just can't, and that gives power to the worst among us. Dividing our attention is suicide at this point. If I could wave my hand and stop all abuse, I would. I am (if it helps) pretty sure that the more powerful abusers get taken out, the less the micro-abusers will feel like they can get away with it.

Abuse is only a phenomena with people who have power over others. The wholesale trafficking and torture of scads of babies is not something perverted old Uncle Eke can accomplish. So before you get mad at all the sick, twisted and broken people in our society who have to struggle to stay off the streets, keep in mind that IF you take away the power they have over someone, THEN the abuse stops. The only thing you have to do is stop people from having power over others, and everything works out.
And you are giving the rich ruling class orders of magnitude more power over us than anyone else. So I think it's a good idea for you to focus on not doing that, even if it doesn't have a huge effect on the poor who are occasionally also pieces of shit.

It's part of process isolation and security, so they do kind of have to be super careful about it. The less the isolated process can communicate with its parent, the better. Also Linux didn't exactly have namespaces or UID maps for a long time.
The pipe hack is kind of cheap, but a semaphore, or a mutex and condition variable in shared memory is also a much newer thing. Easier not to share memory at all. They could have used an eventfd, but... again that's pretty recent. And really does the same thing as a pipe under the hood.

People don't seem able to believe that these corporations are throwing away everything that they value, making the worst business decisions, and causing millions of people needless harm, even when the top executives already sold their corporate stocks for big bucks and are getting huge bonuses bigger than all the money you'll ever make in your life, just to empty the corporate coffers before leaving a dried out husk. Corporations will actively try to make this happen, because they're designed to make everyone do what the executives want, not the corporation.
Worst part is since y'all are idiots who believe in copyright and trade marks, corporations never die, and their zombified brand names lie in wait, for the next exploitive organization to take ownership of the name, and milk the popularity and nostalgia, until they give you the middle finger and self-destruct too.

Why aren't there any six legged reptiles?

Because there aren't any lobe-finned fish with six lobes.
Why aren't there any etc?
Complete and total random chance.
Also your article is AI slop.

She had me until "affordable housing." That's a term thought up by propagandists who didn't want poor people to have housing, so they called it "affordable" because hey, I mean, someone can afford it, so it must be affordable!
But yes, high-quality →public← housing would be great.

I can just ask my neighbor, though. A national gun registry means I get to know if my neighbor has guns, and so does the gestapo trying to steal everyone's guns, break their own laws, and enslave us.
And actually I probably can't know, since (hypothetically) the registry is private to protect us, but the fascists get to use it still.
I'd honestly rather have gun licenses than a national gun registry.

I don't know what's sadder, that I'm the only one who makes mutual aid posts actually offering something and not begging for money, or that nobody ever boosts my mutual aid posts. We need to do better.

So you didn't mention disabled people or disabilities. And if someone was ableist, and hated the disabled, they would have been insulted by your post, for making them look like a bunch of grumpy curmudgeons. All you did was say like "younguns these days are so lazy they even eat frozen grilled cheese sandwiches it's the end of the civilization I tell ya!" and people started saying actually abusive and ableist things about your grandparents.
Forgive me if I have a hard time believing that. It's not ableist to make fun of people who complain about silly things. I think you're very respectful, and most of the disabled are perfectly decent people who won't think twice about someone channelling their inner grandpa (who died before they were born). If people attack you for such a thing, you can back down, apologize, clarify that you’re joking, but you don't have to blame yourself, and you don’t have to tell me that I’m a bad person because of what I am.
Like seriously, did you accidentally post a picture of someone in a wheelchair heating up a preprepared cheese sandwich as an example? What was everyone so offended about?

Why do they have all that money in the first place? It's not their right to save people from starving and dying, because they shouldn't be the ones who get to decide who is saved.

Hasn't your father ever sat you down out of the blue, and told you how inconsiderate you were being, and how you only care about yourself and don't think about others? And you weren't allowed to leave until you agreed, and said that you were hurting him, and you apologize for whatever it is you've done? No? Just me?
I hope you have a better idea why that might rub some people the wrong way.

Doesn't your client collapse the view of long posts until you click on them? With like a "More..." border thing on the bottom? Would you rather those 2700 chars be 6 separate posts all in a row on your feed? Seems like an odd hill to die on.
