It’s not that violence is never okay, it’s more a tool in the tool chest that has its uses.

Well likely need violence to redistribute wealth yes, but violence is more than physical and still involved in community policing. But the difference is it’s mean to serve the community, not hold them in check.

There’s a fine line to draw between letting people self govern and ensuring the safety of peoples.

But again, this is up to communities to decide what is best. Sometimes violence and intervention are necessary. But those tools are reserved for extremes.

It’s not that you can trust it a little, it’s that you can’t trust it ever. It’s just saying want it thinks you want to hear, not what is true.

You know asking AI is asking to be lied to yes?

Like, Apple has gone so far as to say it’s impossible for current LLMs to reason.

It’s incapable of knowing what is true in it’s current form according to apple.

Don’t trust AI to actually know anything.

We build real community. That’s the answer to all of it.

If we all feel we own the park, we’ll start taking care of it more. Rather than it being the cities (i.e. someone else’s) problem.

How do we give land back? We decide as a community to do that.

Also, land back isn’t about ownership, it’s about stewardship. If we were community focused, we’d understand that, and maybe even participate in it.

How do we do justice? We let community decide what’s best.

Fuck these countries. We should be caring and looking out for our neighbours. Not these nation states.

How do we deal with wealth redistribution? Support community. Spend as local as you can. Give your wealth to community.

It’s not about heorarchy, it’s about being mutually invested in eachother. Not just “friends”, not just hanging out, but sticking through tough times. Calling out BS. Trying out best to bring our the best in eachother.

Giving power to people is not the same as democracy. People have a right to be governed however they want to be. If a community wants a king, sure. That’s their right as a people. There’s a difference between intervening on something like a genocide, and imposing democracy on a people that don’t want it.

My problem is there’s an assumption that you know what’s best for people, rather than self determination of peoples.

You think it’s a BS line because even in US and Canada at least (where I’m most familiar with). We’re still under (though to a much lesser extent) authoritarianism.

The Government knowingly executed a probably innocent man.

The victims family, and even the prosecution, admits they got it wrong.

How is this not authoritarianism if the state can execute innocent people?

Just because you can vote, doesn’t mean you have power.

It is yes. There’s no central server that logs are collected to or anything like that.

That’s NOT the same as ad blocking.

Borswers will still be browsers just like any other OS and precautions should be made there.

Not the person you replied to, but I do use Linux (arch btw).

Linux is a free (as in freedom) and open source software that basically powers the internet.

A vast majority of servers on the internet are running Linux. It’s powerfully but that’s a double edge sword. It’s easy to cut yourself too if your unfamiliar with the edges.

Because it’s completely open source, there are endless customizations and optimizations you can make. The art is knowing what, how, and where. But that’s true of windows and macos.

It’s vertically less creepy with AI and logging garbage compared to apple and Microsoft.

It’s popular with nerds because it’s free and customizable. IMO that can come at a cost of user-friendly experiences. But it’s all about learning the edges. The other two have plenty, most are just used to it.

How can buisness be done with a power so volatile?

I see the common mistake of associating the left with authoritarianism.

China and such are not left. They’re even further right to the point of fascism labeled communism.

Remebere communism/socialism is about the workers relation to the means of production. Chinese people do not own the factories they work on, so I’m not sure you can call them left.

That’s not how subgroups work…

I mean it’s always a good assumption nowadays with chat gpt

Both Ubuntu and mint are debian based.
