Pistachios seem awfully cheap from what I know pistachios to cost even considering high caloric density.

Seems unlikely given that ascetic hermits around the world are known for living to a ripe old age.
$60 for 4gb for a board??
You can get a whole computer with a disk, 16gb ram a cooler, a case, and a power supply for not much more.
Edit: lol at the downvotes. Look for mini pcs on amazon. Dreamquest 16gb can be had for roughly usd$170. Let alone going on eBay and getting something second hand.
Edit 2: here’s a USD$114 computer with 12gb of ram from Ali express
Look what they have to do to mimic only a fraction of our power!
This is like naming files “final”, there’s “final final” and “final final final” after that, and so on, ad infinitum.
Fasting and complete sensory isolation was a big thing. Not sure how effective.
The focus mode ui is another bugbear - how scattered the ui is for this.
I can alter it from the bottom middle of the notification shade once set, but I can’t enable it from there - why?
At least put a line with date and time at the bottom of the notification shade so I don’t have to roll it all the way down.
Also, I’ve set triple back tap to turn on the flash… well, it only works (inconsistently) when the phone is unlocked. Why?
I don’t mind Ubuntu server, though you’re right you need to clean it up a bit by uninstalling snap and killing the login ad of managed k8s, the LTS versions have been quite consistently easy to deal with and stable, but then again so has Debian.
In iOS how hard it is to glance the time and date while watching a full screen video.
I’m also the signal guy amongst my friends and family. There are dozens of us!
I think a possibility is a series of open source anvil or nixos scripts that you can run on most hardware with minimal changes, in an extendable architecture of some kind to add or remove functionality and they perhaps get maintained by the community or some structure of the kind of Linux distributions.
This could enable people with minimal skills set up and maintain a reasonably useful but secure environment just by changing a few variables.
Can find great deals for 2yo second hand high tier phones
How else do you convince bureaucrats and purse string holders that you are vital and need a bigger budget for next year?
You didn’t read the link then.
In which case how does a community of that scale operate without a rule enforcement arm?
Will there be environmental laws? Traffic laws? Food safety? Defence? Adjudication of differences?
How does it work?
Will someone be issuing driving licenses based on competence? Who’s going to check if I don’t have one?
If I don’t have the sense to drive properly or secure a dangerous load, or I drive drunk or I keep running people over or running red lights who is going to stop me?
If I assault or murder someone is it vendetta rules? What if someone accuses me of that but I haven’t done it - who figures out what happened? Are there investigators? Who’s going to stop me? Or defend me?
Not sure how international institutions can make it clearer.
Of course they’re committing genocide.
Let’s see how that goes in a market starved of high level workers and full of employers happy to let their staff work from home.
I’m not sure there will ever be a society that doesn’t require adjustment.
Anarchocommunism - I see. In my mind seems like a theoretical construct, a temporary situation that would quickly shift to something else either by internal or external forces, a construct similar to libertarianism.
And indeed historically this has been the case.
This “small communities” construct is also pretty unhealthy if you ever had any experience in small communities as I have.
Your neighbours are your oppressors and you theirs.
Societal norms of dress, sexual preference and everything else, are enforced by societal shame, isolation, expulsion and occasional beatings in extreme cases. The rumour mill would whip up neighbours into all kinds of idiocy. They know everything about you and you about them.
Anyone that has lived the village life that had any sense couldn’t get out of there fast enough and into the anonymity of a large city where the people didn’t police each other but if needed was the protection of an independent and dispassionate (from interpersonal animus) arbiter that mostly left them alone.
I mean, I think there are, most Nordics for one.
Whether US police is a uniquely thuggish corrupt arm of the moneyed establishment or not, is a different question.
But the way you are phrasing it I think you are skirting with the idea of anarchy as a (non) system of governance so the primary question here is if you think there is a need for any rules at all.
And if there is, how are they agreed upon, adjudicated and enforced in societies larger than a village.
Wow, they are incredibly cheap in the US - in Australia they are nearly double the price per kg.
