Just a chill guy, enjoy working in electrical, electronics, and programming.

Also enjoys listening to music, watching movies on Netflix and talking sci-fi and solar punk fantasy lol

Cannacheques,

Somewhat agree but hopefully we do a good job passing on the torch to help the next generation

Cannacheques,

Yeah nah, I’m sure every generation will cop flack for something, it’s just that since WW2, and the cold war, problems like plastic, lead paint etc let alone the environment weren’t really on the agenda. People just didn’t have a list of big bad world problems besides war.

On one hand I agree that technology is changing at a rapid pace, and ageism is a thing, especially more so now with climate change, but I think the issue is how quickly can the “wall of education” be broken down so that a critical mass of the human population can be enabled to learn how to calculate complex integrals, produce a computer software and program, to make a pipe bomb lol, or fix their car etc, you get my point.

Information freedom is becoming a big deal for people these days but at the same time individuals are no longer expected to be so rigidly self reliant. First it was paper, then books in libraries, nowadays we have the internet. YouTube, torrents and search engines definitely help a lot, but I haven’t seen a top ten problems for humanity video on YouTube yet lol. We’re almost coming full circle, however, I still think we should pay homage to the idea that being self reliant and learning how to do something for yourself is essentially a good thing, not necessarily only valuable to prevent loss of information but for further collaboration opportunities. It’s not necessarily Nazism to argue that if every person’s mind was a library, idiocracy and risk of displacement would become less likely to occur on every level. Think of Hal from A Space Odyssey

Your mechanic can fix his own car the same way your locksmith can unlock his own van, and your tech support guy will probably learn to fix his own computer. If you can do all of those things, even if you don’t become a valuable person in society, at least you’ll be better at taking care of yourself and less likely to be a burden to your group.

In saying that, if I was an old 60-70yr old man, I would consider re-educating myself in a field not so hot for the younglings, you know, the usual work like the trades, engineering, computing, and big data are big money for many young people these days, so it makes sense, if you’re older to get into something less physical like painting, gardening, landscaping, digger operator, software UI development, accounting, systems engineering, matchmaking, etc, something that is either boring or niche enough that many avoid it while simultaneously needing it. Remember boredom is the weakness of the younglings lol

Cannacheques,

Dutch company sends pirates dick pics with ominous warnings as a means of fearmongering for the pirates

Cannacheques,

No societal structures and systems are continuous or exist within a vacuum. Conflict is always a potential threat, whether human beings can learn to resolve their differences and coexist in harmony is both a personal and a group matter that would ideally be more fair with a third party referee, however, humanity is sadly yet to become capable of asking his best friend (dog) for their opinions

Cannacheques,

How aggressive and how efficient though? Guns are the product of a large scale society that needs to arm itself to protect itself just like a dog has teeth.

Cannacheques,

Before we had kings and queens, people were tribal but certainly not as aggressive as today. Think about it, all hierarchies seek to impose dominance and control, both on its subjects and on outsiders that it comes in contact with

Cannacheques,

Boom

Random thought: Windows is largely successful because of Piracy

Windows as a software package would have never been affordable to individuals or local-level orgs in countries like India and Bangladesh (especially in the 2000’s) that are now powerhouses of IT. Same for many SE Asian, Eastern European, African and LatinoAmerican countries as well....

Cannacheques,

Nah that’s just for high security government systems, if you run a small business or something you might not want to fuck around with thin clients unless you’re working directly with big databases and stuff

Cannacheques,

Even though Linux is still somewhat popular in tech circles, consider that windows would have a significant market share for providing high value entertainment and a wide variety of tools to office workers. Microsoft Office is the dominant documentation and accounting suite for office workers around the world.

Now, combine that with the way that Microsoft has bundled their OS into many laptops and retail computers worldwide and you see why they’re big.

Essentially anybody looking to do any paperwork related work will have to interact with Microsoft’s system of software in one way or another. If Bill Gates was a deity, he’d probably fit right in with the god of tax collectors, taxing people for paperwork and bureaucracy.

Cannacheques,

Look man, I think most people would agree that if you want a good gaming experience and you can’t afford a good PC or gaming laptop then you’re either going to the internet cafe or getting a console.

Cannacheques,

Fsb time, no time to think, just imagine, this must be something bad!

Fsb money, I am very communist however, everyday the McDonalds man comes closer to mother Russia, and the hole in my pocket grows bigger.

Cannacheques,

I think a lot of people don’t want to admit that most political ideas ranging from communism to capitalism are half baked labels we stick onto a collection of beliefs about what works best to solve certain problems. If you got rid of the labels you might just ask the question of what works and where the money will come from

Cannacheques,

Ah yes the utopian rainbow many want, yes,

Cannacheques,

If we’re going to take the Bible as stories that are somewhat partially true, I’d like to imagine that God as described was or is a supernatural nth dimensional being that allows for the manifestation of the human conscience in our moments of greatest suffering, but upholds a disassociative desire for a greater justice or harmony that can appear to many as an almost alien destructive nature and the tendency to punish, while another aspect or being above us, perhaps the same one, is basically a chilled out stoner who enjoys being lazy, exploring mushrooms as food, but doesn’t like the idea of farming and sedentary lifestyle.

Please enjoy my verbal diarrhoea haha

Cannacheques,

Gnosticism is another old collection of beliefs that’s quite interesting to read about

Cannacheques,

Ironically the EU would not dare leave Malta or Greece

Cannacheques,

Cries in Italian

Cannacheques,

My biggest gripe about the Chinese keyboards

Cannacheques,

It’s the plastic industrial complex / plutocracy I tell ya hahaha

Cannacheques,

Let me see the fruits of the Gross Ness monster

"Jogging From the Perspective of Animals" by Jake Likes Onions (files.mastodon.social)

Cannacheques,

Yes. Horses, dogs/wolves and people are the three land animals that are really weird in that they aren’t necessarily apex predators, but due to circumstance or evolution we’ve somehow stepped outside the natural flow which has resulted in us having a wide potential of diet, excess time and energy to spare due to lack of serious predators (yet) and luckily enough we’ve come to be more collaborative than competitive when it counts

Cannacheques,

To be fair I think for the average person, to simultaneously believe that America is both the home of the bleeding edge of technology and innovation, and yet also the place where it churns out uni students, after 5 year bachelors programmes to become McDonald’s workers for the next 10 years, it can definitely look depressing both from the outside and on the inside.
