I reject your definition of welfare. You're thinking far too narrowly about the benefit to society by taking care of your citizens' needs.

Who is "the author" these days? Is it Slime? I wonder what Rude and Bartbes and vrld are up to these days. Are releases still done on holidays? Are all libraries still named after sex themes? I was active for versions 0.4 - 0.6.

Why do laborers have to work for the right to live when capitalists only have to provide capital and are always assumed to be worthy? Capital and labor is combined to produce new capital. Yet we only expect labor to prove their worth. We're always holding labor's feet to the fire and killing them through policy that allows their poverty by assuming they are lazy.

There is basically zero consequence for capitalists when they decide to withhold capital from laborers. Therefore taking away labor's ability to generate new capital. They took down the entire rust belt by doing this. Why shouldn't we hold them accountable? Why does everyone blame labor and say welfare is only for people in poverty?

He ran a surplus by (In Bill Clinton's own words) "ending welfare as we know it". This was his description of the Personal Responsibility Act he signed. That attack on labor and bolstering of the financial markets was a huge contributor to our economic disasters. Keynesian was never meant to be a permanent solution to a growing capitalism system. And the Hayekian system we have now is just pillaging by neoliberals.

I'll throw https://nextdns.io into the mix. Been very happy with it. Supports DOH, block lists, among a plethora of other features.

Am I reading this right that Matteo is saying providence is not important because there are lots of historical cases of not having providence of code?

Hey. That's curiously similar to my instructions. Weird!

Software has gotten considerably worse with time. Windows and MacOS are basically in senescence from my point of view. Haven't added a feature I've wanted in years, but manages to make my experience worse year to year anyways.

CPU vulnerability mitigations make my computer slower than when I bought it.

Computers and laptops are increasingly not repairable. So much ewaste is forced on us for profit.

The internet is a corporate controlled prison now. Political actors create fake online accounts to astroturf, manipulate, and influence us.

The increasing cost of memory and GPU make computers no longer affordable.

I love my WWV/WWVB clocks. It is nice never having to set them and they are all within a second of my NTP clocks.

Now if only I could turn off the clocks on my oven and microwave...

Is there a community or forum where questions about ATProtocol can be asked?

Can you can spread your identity across multiple PDS repositories? Was thinking about creating a PDS that can store binary blobs to download, but not all PDS would like that amount of binary data stored.

UPDATE: found it: https://discourse.atprotocol.community
