I don’t see the point in discussing this any more. You seem utterly convinced that things cannot work any other way, and are comparing a statist history to a non statist future.

Hope that things get better for you. <3

The technology already exists to create food or other things at scale though without much manual labour so I disagree with that assertion.

As for how to stop capitalist villages, well that’s primarily done through a mixture of education, cooperation and showing there’s no advantage to capitalism. Capitalism requires a state or some kind of force in order to enforce property rights, if I can go to that village and either take objects or ideas, capitalism loses since it cannot enforce its rights on me, nor its will once I go to a non capitalist village and thus it would have no power to keep its secrets, ideas or designs. It’s also done through education in that those who know more are less likely to be taken advantage of by others, especially if things like critical analysis etc are taught. Showing how well cooperation works instead of competition can be another protection against it. Also, a capitalist village will still have exploited workers. Why would they stay there when they could move somewhere where they’re not exploited?

So firstly, there isn’t necessarily a need to go to a copper mine, there’s copper in lots of things and we could set up recycling programs to extract it from things that wouldn’t be necessary under such a system, mass produced stuff, for example, things that broke and thus got thrown away etc etc. If there was a need to mine copper this could be done in part with technology, some kind of drones or other machines. Lastly, I’m sure there would be some people that wouldn’t mind doing labour if it meant less in the future, people thinking only short term and only about themselves is how this current mess of a world happened, after all.

Again, non appealing jobs can be done via technology and we can redesign systems so that labour would be at a minimum, a lot of automated/semi-automated recycling plants could be used, sewers could lead into recycling facilities and places for growing plants etc. So with those things manual labour could be massively reduced, or at least the parts people would ‘need’ incentives for (though I don’t think they necessarily would if it wasn’t constant and they thought long term and collectively).

You assume capitalism always offers more, it doesn’t necessarily and even if it does at the beginning over time it would merely exploit more and more people until they got fed up enough to leave, more people would do that currently if there was any place to go where they didn’t have to be exploited and could live a happy life with all they needed but there isn’t really anywhere like that currently.

I agree that we could very much use 3D printers etc and smaller power grids to create self-sustaining cities etc, using all kinds of renewable power since solar and wind aren’t the only types.

Hope this helps!

Okay, seems you are correct and nowhere DRM free has it, but, is it okay to DM you? I did find something.

I think it isn’t necessary to grow beyond that size though. We can live in smaller communities without growing past a certain size. We don’t all have to live together, that’s what I think a lot of people miss.

Eh, why would there need to be capitalist villages if everybody had what they needed? I don’t buy that there couldn’t be luxury either, we have the ability and technology for that now in any scenario or economic system, I’m not a marxist or believe the idea that each according to their need etc but someone who sees the potential for maximum luxury , comfort, connection etc in the scenarios I envision. I would happily do the work if it meant living in a world without hierarchy, money, enforced trade or barter etc and I think many others would too.

No, it really doesn’t require some dream technology, just a mental shift, besides renewables are all that’s needed. We shouldn’t be relying on fission nor fusion, both are costly to build in myriad ways and one seems a huge pipe dream which we don’t need.

Edit: There already is abundant housing, it’s just in the hands of a few who have been convinced by the system that holding on to it and keeping others out of it is the best thing to do.

Completely agree about mass transit between cities, but honestly I just think we need walkable cities that are also accessible to wheelchairs etc. Something like the ideas the venus project came up with, or arcologies.

Wow, it’s disheartening to see some people here think everything will always be based on trades/transactions and seem to not be able to imagine a sharing future. Sad.

2 or 3 digit country code.7digital.com, so for example https://us.7digital.com/. What is the album btw?

Try 7digital or qobuz, if not them, then prostudiomasters or ototoy. One of those is bound to have it.

Hopefully more video creators switch to Peertube.

Hello. Who, since you didn’t answer before, who was I, a mere moderator on the same team of moderators as everybody else supposed to be paying?

Ugh, no. The internet archive doesn’t care about consent enough as it is. Can you imagine how much harder it would be to get stuff taken down on a distributed network when it leads to harrassment etc?

Let’s see if poland has the confidence and werewithall to arrest him and stick to their legal code.

This made us laugh, thanks.

Ew, calling? No thanks.

Someone didn’t grow up with MSN and other messengers, and ‘away’ statuses.

What about if you’re kind, but don’t have the self confidence to think it’s not you? What then?

Should have had better opsec. Also to have watched hackers: “Never hack from home”

Yes, I understand that. But not everybody can talk all the time like that, some people can only really have enough energy for social media, not talking one-to-one, I know a few.

Woah, I’m not talking about “seeking validation from strangers”. I’m talking about building actual community online, and that being all some people have due to either homeboundness, or other reasons where online is the only community they can know, I’m saying such a law would genuinely put those people in jeopardy, no matter what age they are.

Yeah, it’s sad that they don’t, gog really needs to get on it imo. Though have you tried running galaxy through proton?

I want that too, heck even Epic could easily make their games native to linux with a single button press but they don’t want to.

I have, sadly. On steam once the native linux version of a game wouldn’t run but the windows one would through proton.

However, yeah I agree, they could so I don’t know why they don’t.

Ah, okay, thanks for the correction!
