    This, or the humble royalty, is most fictional hero storylines. I unironically believe capitalism uses these tropes to condition the people into believing feudalism, authoritarianism, and genetic divinity are justifiable.

    Remember! The rich are rich because they’re better than you! Not because them or their ancestors were murderers, slave owners, exploiters, criminal sociopaths, etc.

    Stop perpetuating the gold standard myth. There’s as much point having a gold standard as there is any other stable finite chemical.

    The problem was neoliberalism/conservatism, which systematically removed all the labor and wealth redistribution policies of the post WW2 era, at the same time as boomers AND women were entering the workforce — higher supply of workers = lower demand and wages — the EU and Japan were rebuilt and competitive, offshoring and automation was gearing up (wage suppression + higher profits for capitalism), the deregulation of financial markets and regulatory/financial capture of government that enabled extreme financial predation, etc, etc.

    The gold standard change would be irrelevant if we didn’t live in oligarchies masquerading as democracies — where your level of wealth is directly proportional to your level of freedom, speech, and political representation.

    Should … Should we tell OP that nobody understands all of any moderately large codebase, especially the sub-dependencies … or that even the thousands of developers who wrote most of that code don’t understand how their own code works anymore?

    I could read the same book every year and I still won’t remember most of the minor events on my deathbed. Doesn’t mean I won’t remember the key components that make up the story — coding is like that, except the minor events and key components can be rewritten or removed by someone else whenever you go to read them next.













  • Looks aight but I consider it overkill for my needs. I have my own system which is just creating a note titled ‘YY-MM-DD Desc/Model’ when I purchase something and adding compressed images & scans of the label/serial, sometimes packaging, user guide, etc.

    I then just print a dymo label for the product, components, cables, and spare parts using the note title so I can search the date and pull it up if I need. Makes dealing with a mountain of cables and power adapters much easier. I never pull something out of storage and go “what the fuck is this” anymore.

    Testing and tagging USB-C cables is especially helpful, too. They usually have no indication of what speed or power they can handle.
