Causes: kids are bored, kids are allowed to use cell phones in class (what?), they've never actually had to take anything seriously, and adults will always validate their shenanigans by acknowledging it, so: they search for drama, can get it from social media, "take it seriously" just feeding the drama, and they get their money shot of the principal and lawyers getting involved.
It's child pornography and the only sick part is the adults who are getting off to it, but apparently that doesn't matter either so I'm just sitting here hoping someone doxxes a pair of plots out of whoever this "M." chick is.
Either own the code and machines that these services run on, or prepare for either A) Basic income, leading towards crime and social isolation and the end of civilization for your class, or B) Slavery (WPA style), in order to prevent A. If you use your power of selective history the right way, you'll get B and enjoy it.
I, as someone of non-genius IQ, will use my still-existent income to enjoy the metaverse and avoid major cities.
If not through taxes, then how?
It's my choice to remain a student, and to do well. It's my choice to do community service, etc. etc... what's your point?
There are few things, if any, as existentially important as creating the next generation.
Bullshit. We'd need over 100 billion people on Earth for that to be anywhere near a sane thought. See, e.g.: http://www.acceleratingfuture.com/michael/blog/2006/09/overp...
who?
The loper os thing is currently two guys playing with fpgas, but the one knows his lisp and knows what he wants and has supposedly written most of the OS code already, so I'm hopeful. I'm not sure if anything other than a networked lisp machine would work for the kind of verifiably-not-backdoored software/hardware that everyone wants. Aside from the obvious smell of a lisp hacker trying to do his own full stack, I'm surprised that it hasn't gotten more attention.
Re content: the loper-os.org guy is working on foss lisp-based hardware. Check it out.
Now for the flamewar: Is there anything that a non-emacs/vim IDE or editor can do that both emacs and vim cannot? Aside from social inertia (e.g. your colleagues use it, it's your first and only power editor), I have a hard time understanding why anyone would use anything else.
My hunch is that it's primarily a marketing problem, especially for emacs.
I honestly can't think of anything in the world that wouldn't be better if every skinny/fat guy started losing fat and gaining muscle.
