Capitalism is a giant game of prisoners’ dilemma where it’s always more lucrative for each person to be unethical and exploit everyone else, even though it’s worse for everyone.

linux on 32 bit hardware, recommendations wanted
@draco I'm running Puppy Linux 6.3.2 "Slacko" on an Eee PC 701. Salix OS 14.2 should work too, but even a minimal install would take up most of the disk.

The funny thing about following some of the same people across multiple social networks is how random it is where we reply to each other 😂
@irina Well, we can't have kids be ready for whatever the future happens to throw at them, now can we. They might figure out their elders were in fact full of bullshit all along and ruined everything.

"Cryptocurrency is one of the worst inventions of the 21st century. [...] It has failed to be a useful currency, invented a new class of internet abuse, further enriched the rich, wasted staggering amounts of electricity, hastened climate change, ruined hundreds of otherwise promising projects, provided a climate for hundreds of scams to flourish, created shortages and price hikes for consumer hardware, and injected perverse incentives into technology everywhere. Fuck cryptocurrency."

@hjertnes Some really good stuff there!
It just dawned on me that I don't approach my stories like an author, but rather like a participant. Like a player in an RPG. It helps.
@irina They'd get impressions, of course. It's not like anyone measures if those do translate to clicks, and clicks in turn to buys. It's all pretense.

Someone in the #gemini Matrix room just posted this: https://geminiquickst.art/ it's a fantastic 'getting started' intro for non-tech people.
No, you're not in control. Embrace that. People who promise you control? They mean *you* would be under *their* control.
