I like the sentiment, but it's really not that easy. Have you tried growing food at scale? It's not just "put seeds in the ground" 😂 and good luck getting good protein that way
Tom Petty's music is very boring and uninteresting.
Free market unregulated and unperturbed by a violent state, free trade, private property, purely voluntary transactions. The way I mean the term is synonymous with anarcho-capitalism.
The first thing. Any client you use has a set of relays configured to read from and write to.
Different clients with different relays will read and write to different places.
One thing that helps is (one day) setting up a personal relay that you put in all your clients so you at least have your own copy of all your own notes.
We hope (we being https://vaporware.network) to make it simple to self-host a personal proxy relay - meaning ONE relay you connect to which in turn connects to many others. All your clients would connect to JUST this one, which handles everything for you (better for device battery life and performance too). Not yet, though :)
One of our aims at https://vaporware.network is to provide a self-hosted node that can aggregate whatever feeds you want into one place. Including posting to (some set of destinations).
There is no reason these things should remain separate if you don't want them to.
This is very much what we're enabling at https://vaporware.network
The next time someone tells you capitalism is the problem, you be sure to show them how the State is the problem.
(And replacing "pure capitalism" with "an even more controlling State" makes the problems they (correctly) perceive much worse)
Completely and utterly fucked
Hell you can make it even simpler: imagine a landmass that can only fit 4 people. And imagine there are already 4 people on it. You want to add a 5th person... Just existing in time and space is a precursor to value (and the production of further value) so the 4-person continent is less valuable than the 5-person one.
This falls out of the facts of scarcity and human existence.
If every single inch of a barren rock moon was used for, say, doing yoga, and you wanted to start a new yoga zone, you couldn't do so unless you were able to secure some of that (scarce) square footage. And the previous owner would set a price given this fact.
Yes, you need to *do something* with it, but the fact that the square feet of the moon are limited is what makes those square feet valuable for use.
Same thought experiment on an infinite rock moon would make those same square feet _themselves_ worthless.
You can't divorce "opportunity" from the land's existence, but you can nullify it if the land is infinite (or if people want to do nothing/not exist). As long as it's not infinite and people want to do anything (including just exist in time and space), the "opportunity" bit you mention is always present and therefore intrinsic to its scarcity.
Yes. Personal, opt-in recommendations from webs of connections you control and score.
No global consensus, no trust you didn't award, no mandated agreement between parties who don't wish to voluntarily agree.
Fully auditable, portable, subjective and sovereign.
Yea it is, but it's lumpy. But that's also what makes it valuable as property.
To be clear, personally I would only use cloud services for encrypted-at-rest redundancy. In case my local machine explodes I could restore.
That's cool. You can be as local or not as fits your preference.
My point is that "logical machine" need not necessarily be 1:1 with "physical machine". Our goal is to make that distinction as fungible as the user wants (including not at all)
Tell me about it. Except "local" need not (solely) mean "only on my local machine": https://vaporware.network
Wait until they start sneaking ads into LLM responses in ways you don't even know you're internalizing.
Holy shit did not know this place existed. Definitely will try to make it on May 30th!
