A running data-center without a net or consumers is nothing worth.

>The original statement stands.

Well true, the Website runs but no one can access it.

Really FAANG can stop a solar-storm? A war on infrastructure?

Remember that your website not just needs running computers but energy too, and a net that brings that information to the peoples, and those peoples devices need power too.

Just look at the Berlin outage where people had to go to hotpots with generators to load the phone:

https://edition.cnn.com/2026/01/07/europe/berlin-power-outag...

And that was a small attack on infra but 100'000 where affected.

But sorry if i touched any of your sensitive areas...because it's Europe and not FAANG ;)

Yep let's not learn from that incident and wait until is offline for like 2 weeks, and be assured that will happen.

The US list one (1) banned book in a earlier version (Operation Dark Heart) because of national security.

>We could just tax the hell out of the rich

Then they leave your country...however if someone could make it international....

I think it's the only logical way, same right for everyone, occupation is not a factor for additional rights.

> 'this is a great start,

And the end...sadly.

Art community's are most always self managing, i would argue finding out who makes art is much more complicated.

>Giving housing forces people to live in certain places.

No one is forced to take free housing or being an artist, if you want something for free you have to play by rules.

>like the people don't know what they need

True, but why are people who are artist different from anyone else, that's my critique. Why is creating art more important then preserving art, being a scientist, a rare-potato-farmer, a retro-game-preserver...or a small town politician?

Maybe we have a different look on basic income, for me it's like unemployment money with less steps and less overhead (less bureaucrats). I also dont know why you pull in marxism, but those systems normally starve because of bureaucrats (hello germany) where you have to fill out 10 papers to create one praline, and NO i dont say germany is "marxist", but they are really good at always taking the worst from both sides.

For giggles, lets say every work can be done by robots, every service by ai and energy is free (dyson sphere or whatever you want), who's left to spend money and for what? And tadaa StarTrek ;)

That's what i meant with the potatoes, the government pays for the field with the rare potatoes, and the standardized potatoes make wealth.

>So you do agree that art should be supported by government I see, so how would you do it?

With free housing (art community's), tax free stuff (for small to medium sales etc) like it's done today. And to be honest i think 99.5% of artist dont do a full-time-art-job, most of them do other stuff too...and that's good.

Is my friend who plays the didgeridoo in his free time now an artist if he declares it's suddenly his full-time occupation?

One example, why exclude people like Geo-scientists who sometimes dont even get any money (except they work for big-oil or the state).

On a base your are right, not everything that's good for societies is compatible within a capitalistic system. But this is just a complete wrong step.

It's a bad scheme, it divide's your population into people who have to create "wealth", and people who create "art".

Yes creating art (or preserving rare potatoes[1]) should be supported by your government if it's not survivable in a capitalistic society, however having different rights because of your occupation is not better then the middle ages.

That's late 2000

Firefox was installed on around 30% in 2010:

Are you talking about Netscape? Because that was installed on everything ;)

>because google spend billions marketing Chrome in early 2000

Really? Early 2000?

Again i talk about the past when email was primarily used to talk to other peoples often not even over a net but inside a mainframe thing.

I though i was clear talking about the past hence not including Facebook or GitHub, and btw. Email just became "federated" when everyone agreed to use smtp when talking over the internet.

With that logic everyone would use the Edge-Browser right? Don't underestimate the "normie" ;)

University email, FTP, and terminal server.

The Internet is just a highway. You will end up at a destination.
