Sadly I missed it. Was it recorded?

You’re not wrong. But save some love for Udbhav Tiwari

What time zone?

You did the right thing, and you did it gracefully. I would have told them to fuck the fuck off, and probably would have reported them to the department of consumer affairs and to the fair work commission (aus)

Me too, thanks for beating me to it. And God bless NextDNS

Damn, that’s expensive. Did you get a general anaesthetic? I got mine done in the chair under local anaesthetic only. Was roughly $500 AUD which I’m guessing would be just under €300 roughly

Very basically: communism is not “everyone gets paid the same” and it is not “no hierarchy ever.” You can still have inequality in income, status, or lifestyle. The core difference is where that inequality comes from.

Under communism, the means of production are collectively owned, so no one gets rich purely by owning things other people have to use to survive. You do not get passive power over others just because your parents did well or you happened to own capital first.

The baseline is that no one is excluded from basic human needs, food, housing, healthcare, education, safety. That removes the permanent underclass capitalism reliably produces. From there, differences in pay or quality of life can exist based on contribution, skill, responsibility, or scarcity, but they are not allowed to snowball into dynastic wealth and structural domination.

So yes, different jobs can lead to different standards of living. That alone is not capitalism. Capitalism specifically requires private ownership of productive assets and wage dependence. If everyone has equal access to opportunity and no one can hoard power across generations, you do not end up with the same class system we have now.

The honest answer is also the boring one: real-world implementations vary, some badly, and no system guarantees fairness automatically. Communism is about reducing structural exploitation, not pretending humans stop being human.

People saying “everyone will just do awful jobs out of pure love” are overselling it and hurting the argument. Incentives still exist. The difference is that survival is not used as the incentive.

TLDR: Capitalism uses deprivation as motivation. Communism tries to remove deprivation first, then argue about incentives afterward. Whether that succeeds is the real debate.

Vasectomies are relatively cheap and very effective

Be careful with that rational logic… Oh wait, this isn’t Reddit. Carry on.

While I agree that copilot is AI slop garbage, this article is kinda rage baiting… Like, who gives a fuck if they redesign the UI… It’s what they do every few years. This isn’t about copilot replacing edge. It’s not even about microslop adding more AI to the browser (although they probably will). This is specifically about a new design language. Take the AI out of the equation and the redesign isn’t all that controversial.

How’s the hardware support? Track pad, wifi etc?

Totally agree. The docs don’t talk back and can’t clarify specifics or uncertainty. I always read the docs first (probably should have noted that in my first comment), but often I’d have specific questions or concerns regarding unintended affects on other services on my sever etc.

I’d never JUST run with AI to set something up. But it’s like having someone sit with you who knows what they’re doing, but dont know anything about your existing setup. So asking questions while also explaining my current setup, and pasting in and errors or warnings, is what made it useful for me.

I know some people think you should just learn from docs alone. That’s fine. My anecdotal comment was only highlighting how I was finally able to do something outside my knowledge and skillset because I had specific contextual help from AI.

I did both 🙏

I started my self hosting journey a bit over a year ago. Now I host and maintain multiple services for me and my family. 1000% absolutely could not have set it all up without ChatGPT. Just no way.

Thing is, I’m not a computer beginner. I’d confidently say I’m a moderately advanced computer user with a decent understanding of Linux/BSD and POSIX shell. I used ChatGPT to learn how to set things up gradually. Yes, things did break a couple of times and I spent a few late nights fixing them, but I never ran commands that I knew were irreversible until I fully understood what they did. This cautiousness comes with experience.

So, unlike many, I do encourage the use of ChatGPT for assisting with computer related projects, just know your abilities and don’t trust the robot unconditionally.
