@cypnk So political violence is fine as long as *you're* doing it?

@krans @cypnk Once you've built a guillotine, it'll seem like a waste to only use it on a few billionaires.
A popular revolution against extreme inequality looks more and more likely daily. They're already very, very likely to descend into indiscriminate bloodshed without us trivialising it ahead of time.
Demagogues love violence, it's cathartic and distracting and it's easier than figuring out a fair way to distribute expropriated hoards of abstract wealth.

@cypnk Maybe you could explain what I missed?

@krans When people blame *all* their problems on the select few billionaires in the public eye, the finger pointing is easy and yes, violence becomes the easy and often wrong answer
All their problems are *not* billionaires is my point

@cypnk Got it. I read your post as yet another, “1. Murder people, 2. ???? 3. All society's ills are solved,” post. Thank you for clarifying.

@krans It's a play on the old proverb: "when all you have is a hammer, all your problems end up looking like nails"

Fair wages and taxes are more fun, long lasting and systemic. Billionaires are theft. Heading straight to fair is the fastest way to help those needing it.

Jokes aside, I agree with the principle, but I have myself doubts that it would prevent them from buying out politicians and have that being dismantled over time. 8-/

Piketty explains in raw data, in no uncertain terms, that obsene wealth, morbid wealth, financial aneurysms, are an unavoidable product without strong purposeful taxation.
Those books articles and proposed legislation are available to read, support and apply.
Since biblical times usurary was unethical, sinful, paying starvation wages from silk lined pockets is theft, monopoly is a long known and illegal evil.
Corporate theft bought billionaires

Ma sono sicuro che i #PPP avranno un'interpretazione diversa. Che spero non esprimano sotto questo post perché poi mi tocca fingere di essere interessato alle loro teorie.

Linux question:
When I go to the output folder of my website and I search for all files with "linkdump-no-*" in the path, which are numbered from 1 through 89, and then I sort this list, the output is ordered, but 10 and 11 appear between 7 and 8, see screenshot. The rest is sorted correctly.
Any idea why sorting fails like this?

Goodmorning lovely Fedi people
Heads-up: if you use gurk-rs, a Signal client for the terminal, you should update it to either the commit done an hour ago or to version 0.8.1 once it is out. It fixes missing incoming messages due to missing trusted roots

3) Audio response still needs work. Need to EQ before auto-gain (or fixed dynamic range with no auto-gain) to tame bass level but give natural response where louder parts make particles react more than quieter.
4) Feels like bass should affect sim large low freq positional offsets, mid range and highs work nicely when the timer cycle causes higher freq position offsets.
