@Hyolobrika@mstdn.io that's fine too, people who don't like it can start companies that don't use it, or refuse to work at companies that do. amazon's workers are unionizing, for example. i read that story years ago, please miss me with the reply guy move

the fact that the richest person in the world also appears to be the person delivering the most productive and irreplaceable value in the world seems to me as an indicator that the system is working as it should

i wonder if people will look back at us spending person-centuries folding clothes manually the same way we look back at people spending person-centuries washing clothes by hand in the river

@arh@smallcamp.art yeah i'm set on computers for the moment, i have all of the latest/fastest cutting edge chips either here or on order

@arh@smallcamp.art monitors are only for computers i sit at, computers i don't sit at don't need monitors

I bet the Ax chip in the new studio display uses the same update/iboot mechanism as all of the iphones and Mx macs, so software updates on it will leak your IP (and thus city-level location)+unique serial to apple, plus probably its pairing with your computer's serial.

@arh@smallcamp.art for computers i'm sitting at? macos 12.

lol studio displays aren't available for apple in-store pickup in my US metro until 4th of july

and they say apple never pre-announces products

does the "adaptive sync" support in macos 12.x speak g-sync or freesync?

violating sanctions is a victimless crime. the crime is the theft of taxes on trade within the country (to fund violence), or if you trade directly with the government of the evil country, and fund them.

doing business with someone (not in government) in a country subject to sanctions is morally just. so is teaching in a sanctioned country.

what happened to virgil griffith is absolutely shameful. he is in jail for teaching.

@PeterSanchez murder is a violation of human rights of others. many many many laws exist which prohibit things that harm no one and have no victim, and are simply tyrannical control. you are using false equivalence. many laws are inherently unjust and may be broken without moral issue. many laws (such as the prohibition on murder, which you cite) are just and murdering people is also immoral.

you're intentionally conflating just laws and unjust laws for the sake of argument.

@PeterSanchez literally no one is harmed by breaking sanctions; the laws prohibiting trade to sanctioned countries are victimless and without justification. they're simply the state claiming sovereignty and treating you like chattel.

anyone with experiences with the asus rog strix xg438q 43" 4k 120hz display? it's like $900 and seems pretty good on paper, thinking about using it as the main/central of my 3 displays on my main/fastest battlestation, so quality is critical.

wondering if i should get a 43" 4k in the middle of my battlestation H instead of this 27" (the imac pro with integrated 27" 5k is going away, side displays are staying) or if that is too big?

i have a 32" 4k at my office now and i love it.

@PeterSanchez using laws as moral justification is thus invalid

@PeterSanchez not all laws are just

@m0xee doesnt matter what is being taught or to whom. he was jailed for teaching.

@m0xee what is wrong with it? he was jailed for teaching.
