Trying to be an inoffensive brown sludge and succeeding means nobody will hate you, but nobody will love you either. Who's favorite food is plain porrige?
For the most part, yeah.
Like, for people who don't use linux they hear people discussing how to get certain drivers to work and assume that's the world of linux, but reality is on most hardware you stick the USB stick in, press install and move on with your day.

Yeah, the whole "platform Y is dead because people I don't like are using it" is dumb particularly when you're talking about a w3c standard. Literally everyone is using tcp/ip, and http and https, and html, and emcascript. You can't use the internet if your line is "if someone I don't like uses the thing then it's dead to me" because the same internet is used by pretty much everyone, and people just have to coexist for the most part.
Tbf, 2006 is right before the world ended, and it wasn't such a bad time. No good music had been released for about 5 years but we didn't notice yet. Right after the gfc is when things started to go downhill. By 2010 it was obvious that things were changing, and by 2015 the coffin was well and truly in the ground...
I'm always surprised these people left big tech since it's already the closest thing to the echo chamber they want.
I was watching a video about phonics with my son, and in the credits I saw "also sprach zarathustra" pop by which caught me off guard.
It turns out that there's an orchestral piece called "also sprach zarathustra" that is the opening theme to The 2001 A space odessey movie. And one of the letters was playing a muzak version of that.
For those who are wondering, it was not U for ubermensch, but I for invention.

The politicians are calling greedflation, but what they're not telling you is that it's their greed, not the private sector's.
Stagflation? Literally no one on earth could have possibly foreseen this! If only there'd been some sort of method we could have used to predict that the actions taken in 2020 would have massive negative repercussions! (I was on minds rather than the fediverse in June 2020)


Imo the toughest part will be bootstrapping. It's relatively easy once you've got all the infrastructure in place, but we gave up all the infrastructure in the West.
And get your hands on the tools to do such things while you still can. Considering that a lot of this stuff is made in china, all it takes is One world war and you won't be able to get a tool kit for Love or money.
It's a shame they stopped teaching history, because the collapse of the Spanish empire is a great example of what can happen when the laws of financial physics stop being followed...
Unfortunately, the only other option is a massive sovereign debt crisis, which might be the only option.... But if that's going to be an option, it needs to be an option that in the end results in a balanced budget because otherwise the United States will just become a backwater...
Well there's certain things that they do have an influence over, and every candidate being presented would rack up more debt by signing extravagant budgets.
Considering just how much of the economy government spending is, that has a direct impact on the economy. Now, the actual numbers would look a lot worse if you spend less Federal money, but the actual economy would get better because the private sector wouldn't be fighting the government for those resources...
