  • This is complicated. Firstly outside of Wayland Nvidia works pretty great and has worked great for me 21 years on the other hand the amount spent is kinda irrelevant using different hardware is often actually the correct advice. Often though the logical move is use Windows on your effectively Windows only laptop and if you want to run Linux buy something compatible next go round.

    Some hardware just isn’t supported and given hostile to indifferent oems it will always be so










  • This isn’t useful or sufficient. You have to consider how many bots get banned and cost to determine efficacy. If you want 10,000 fake people to manipulate real people $10,000 doesn’t seem a high price if you make the fake people act organic enough that they largely aren’t banned.

    It would be more useful if a singular service verified sufficient credentials to prove you were an authentic human and allowed you to auth to various sites. This in turn creates the problem that verifiers now know a LOT about your online life.

    If the verification involved site -> verifier -> government held public key I think you could arrange so that none of the parties had enough info to identify users.


  • It’s really not. A pair of shoes has one owner by its nature we can’t both wear it. If I take yours you can no longer wear it. Because valuables are locked up the only way to take it is usually to commit some other crime like breaking into your house or your locker or assaulting your person.

    Copyright isn’t something I agreed to or even had any meaningful say in its something lawmakers promised they wouldn’t let happen on my behalf without any input from me before I was born. Rather than enforcing the safety of my person and home against removal of my property it says that you own certain combinations of words and even if I use my paper and ink to write them as soon as I write enough similar words it becomes your property. Moreso than just not being an enforcement of the inherently exclusive nature of physical property it is a violation of it because it assigns my physical property to you.






  • All the poor fuckers who don’t have a house aren’t going to have the government find them one and hand them to it. Replacing 5% of the single family homes would cost about 2T given that houses aren’t worth the same, the unit replacement cost on rich kids houses is going to 2-3x the cost of an average house AND the fancy real estate’s propensity to be situated near water in what will be future flood plains the majority of that money will go to those who already have the most advantages.

    Conversely if those people aren’t absolute morons those properties are absolutely saleable at this point irrespective of it being expensive to purchase insurance. If your property is bound for the bottom in 20 years sell it now while people aren’t too cognizant of this issue before your fortunes go down with the ship.


  • Herrera shopped around for a new plan, but he struggled to find a policy. Louisiana Citizens, the insurer of last resort for property owners in the state, was out of the question. It would have cost more than $7,000 annually. Herrera eventually found a policy with a small company in the state that charged him $4,930 annually — a 208% increase from what he paid in 2022.

    There were at least 2 options $5000–$7000. Sell to someone at a discount with the understanding that buyer is willing and able to bear at least $5000 in annual insurance costs. Do this before its actually uninsurable.
