@Jens_Rasmussen @histoire3 It also assumes that AI model collapse won't happen. We are already seeing the signs of it given that Google's AI has been caught misspelling it's own name.

If you think the one on the left is more of a problem for the planet than the one on the right, then you are part of the problem.

I make everything public domain because I absolutely ignore all copyright and trademarks myself and don't want people annoying me about my code or other creative works. Just copy it or use it or do whatever the fuck you want to with it, don't bother me about it

Not every state is as friendly as this. There’s still potential to use eminent domain, tax adjustments, or even environmental sabotage to ruin this, among other things. Certain people are petty enough that they literally will fight to change state laws over allowing people to just live in peace.

@djsumdog @coolboymew The best solution for any parent is to not set up any user accounts on any of the computers at home and instead give their kids one of those flash-drives with a custom Linux distro that has a whitelist of approved websites and software (there are companies that sell them if you can't make them yourself). There is not much to work around if you can only use the computer with said drive and a whitelist. Though the kid may have a tech-savvy friend who may give them a Linux flash drive without a whitelist, but that's probably the only loophole.

>The return of the desktop computer at home would also make it so that the next generation aren't computer retards again too as a bonus
Remember they aren't getting dos/win98/xp like we did.
They're getting either mac or win11, no local accounts, all cloud storage, win app store. It is not much different than android.
So to add on the list of proper things to do:
-No smart* anything.
-No tech illiteracy/finance an admin.
-Familial multi cession computer.
-FSF cert GNU/linux for the OS.

>The problem is unchecked free access to everything under the sun, whenever, wherever
It requires not being illiterate and that's not going away in the current context.

I hope they're charging them triple or more the rate they would have been making working for them.

Still volatile, but not on the level of crypto.

Speaking of indie games, has anyone gotten Mina the Hollower? I loved Shovel Knight and would like to know if it's worth getting.
