I suppose I was, specifically because “hard to explain” isn’t one of it’s weaknesses. It has legitimate problems, such as concentrating wealth, destroying the environment (even economic textbooks admit this) and worsening mental health. Some of the issues with capitalism go away if you didn’t need* to interact with it to survive in countries where it is in use.

The main problem I have with most of the alternatives is that they increase reliance on the government and rarely allow for “industrial” tools (family heirlooms) to be enjoyed and modified by descendents. I guess a better way of phrasing my complaint would be that non capitalist societies can exists within a capitalist system in at least one area however doing the opposite is generally impossible.

WSL2 has relatively easy (a few powershell commands iirc) device mounting, provided you aren’t trying to mount C: or the windows install drive (not necessarily the same).

if the court system allowed deferring partial fault for “preventable” deaths to the hospital for employing practices that are not in the best interests of the patient it might give them a financial incentive.

as much as capitalism has it’s flaws, it is easier to explain than most other systems because it is just the natural extension of “I aquired this fur pelt and will defend it” just with a mandatory insurance scheme (government police/laws/military) and more distributed wealth (fractional ownership).

Obviously it is far from the best system, but the core idea is simple: I OWN objects, the object can be any size or value irrespective of it’s usefulness to others. It is a system that benefits those with resources at the expense of those that can hardly afford to revolt.

Now explaining the overreach of the government from a capitalist perspperspective is an actually difficult task.

nice

we already do have tech that can refine out the valuable materials, it just happens to release toxic chemicals into the air and not be as cost effective as traditional mining yet (partially because we can do traditional mining in areas with looser workplace safety laws)

someone has a job to collect them and unless the parking lot is even close to full there’s no risk for any vehicles getting damaged from a few dozen loose carts.

what signs? Only a few stores have any signs explicitly mentioning where carts should go, it’s just typically common sense that it shouldn’t go in the middle of the road.

weird, for me it works even with just setting a mobile browser to “desktop mode”.

so much for “land of the free”.

no? Just claim to be a desktop computer.

the USB suspend state could be used to detect when the computer is asleep which could help with getting the login credentials, but the attack would absolutely be tempermental and realistically just installing malware on the computer via the keyboard would be easier.

did Marvin the Martin finally succeed against duck dodgers?

For the first point I would imagine that relying on the host computer to transmit the data by opening cmd or powershell could work on Windows, however the cost of adding the necessary intelligence into millions of keyboards would probably not be worth it and the limited communication from the host to the Keyboard would be a challenge (capslock, NumLock, Scrollock).

It’s almost as if volte being a* proprietary technology hurts consumers and a lack of emergency test numbers (numbers that use the emergency system but are just for testing that it works) makes things harder.

*potentially multiple technologies

To be fair, phone books are far from common in the USA anymore, and DNS is a far more interacted with technology than old school caller id.

I’m surprised that even VHS-decode has only experimental SECAM support It’s as if SECAM was a niche format.

“Lemmy” is just a bunch of protocols, what individuals use those protocols for should be irrelevant to the underlying protocols.

years, progress is fast, but not fast enough to replace rural jobs before those in the megacities.
