I’m just saying average Americans, the comfortable class, exist on the backs of millions of global workers living in poverty.

The claim that everyone can live like a fat American isn’t ecologically sustainable.

First of all, it takes just as much labor to make a product that lasts fifty years as it does to make a product that lasts five years.

While product obsolescence and built to expire is a huge problem, it is absolutely untrue to the point of absurdity to claim that making a product that lasts 50 years costs the same as a 5 year lifespan product.

We don’t even have the materials science to engineer an led diode that doesn’t decrease in brightness over 50 years to be able to build one. You can beef up the components and heat sinks so they last 20, but the emitter will still be a fraction of its original brightness. The same goes for everything else.

Providing the basics is why I said taking the wealth and giving it to the poor would work.

However “comfortable” is middle class, the majority of the US population, and that’s not ecologically sustainable.

Thiel is gay- and ranting about the anti Christ.

Money is a placeholder for labor. If you distribute all their money, the same labor needs to get done.

It absolutely helps, but it can’t make everyone rich because by definition “rich” requires living off the work of others. (I’m using the word rich losely to mean comfortable.) What it can do is raise the bottom 10% out of poverty.

The US consumes at a level unsustainable by the Earth. Bezos’s billions doesn’t mean he consumes a billion cheeseburgers a day. His personal waste is huge but tiny when compared the the total of 350m Americans.

No need to be so hostile.

It’s frustratingly hypocritical that Linux users rightfully dunk on Microsoft for it’s AI yet defend Linux platforms despite the AI.

When it’s the default in Windows, Microsoft is evil. When it’s the default in Docker, you should know better and figure out how to install it despite the official online documentation telling you to install Docker Desktop to get Docker compose installed.

I’m surprised that you would even run that on a desktop with a GUI,

???

The install guide says you need docker compose and links to the docker compose install guide. The link provided for docker compose installs docker desktop. Docker Desktop is a program that shows your running Dockers and allows you to start and stop them.

But fuck me for being a simple man that Read the Fucking Manual and followed the directions provided.

Yes, Docker Desktop which if you follow the guide for Network Proxy Manager and other docker apps you end up installing. You’d have to already know that Docker Desktop has AI to avoid it and find a work around install.

If the default is getting Docker AI when you install popular apps in Linux, at that point it’s not different from knowing that the default is getting Copilot in Windows and then following online guides to remove it.

Then you install Docker because may Linux apps come distributed only as Docker images and find out that Docker has its own AI built in called Gordon.

Then Lemmy dogpiles me for, “What do you expect for running corporate software.”
