raising wages is what allows people to handle inflation - suppressing wages to fight inflation is ass backwards, even if wage growth created some inflation

in their defense, it is marketed as a device that’s limited on purpose, though

It hasn’t really been a problem for me, but I like having a big display, especially for pdfs or comics. It’s also been great for character sheets for roleplaying games - especially since they get synced to the cloud, so I can always pull them out on my phone if I forget the tablet.

The interface, marketing and development all seem to be very focused on note taking and sketching, though. I’ve used it for drawing, but the exported files are kind of crap - IMO, the best way of exporting a drawing from ReMarkable is to lay the thing on a scanner. If you want high resolution, you zoom in on your drawing and scan it in pieces.

it is definitely too closed down, haven’t had those other experiences though, I’ve had my ReMarkable 2 for quite a few years now. Then again, I haven’t tried hacking at it

Being Norwegian it is my patriotic duty to shill for ReMarkable, it’s pretty good at being what it is.

It’s expensive, though.

the third movie will be based on Dune Messiah, which I believe is the book where Herbert finally understood that subtlety is for people who don’t really care about their message :p

Why are you writing in Polish?

thanks, this is clever

I don’t think it’s anonymity, I’d say it is the fact that we are not face-to-face, so we don’t get that intuitive feeling of responsibility.

I don’t see how the missile itself should be considered a war crime, but using it in a civilian area certainly should be.

ah, but I was just wondering what it means

I probably lean more to the all-in-one side of things. Having one standard version of the software makes it easier to set up and learn.

saving this. It’s a good question. I’ve heard plenty of thoughts on how it should work on a small scale, but nothing about the larger scale.

the reality check is this: Donald Trump has never been more unpopular in his second term in office

The actual reality check is this: he still hasn’t reached the lows he reached during his first term. His approval rating remains above 40%

Vance will be worse, the question is whether he’s electable

this sounds promising, but how do you tax one thing against another?

I guess you tax assets more and salaries less - and work internationally to make tax avoidance harder and less profitable by taxing capital flows and by cracking down on tax havens.

Unless you can get a political consensus on it, I don’t think an inheritance tax will be very effective. Tax planners will find a way to transfer the wealth before it gets inherited, helped by certain kinds of politicians whenever they have power.

Nah. I’ve been saving up quotes as I’ve been reading, just for the day when I meet the internet right-wing edgelord who calls himself a Machiavellian, because it’s full of stuff like this.

“A princedom is impossible where equality prevails, and a Republic where it does not”

“A people is wiser and more constant than a prince”

“the ambition of the great is so pernicious that unless controlled and counteracted in a variety of ways, it will always reduce a city to speedy ruin”

I mean… probably, but he wrote other books. Discourses on Livy is a pretty good read, and definitely not very fascist, or even conservative by today’s standard. The guy straight up wrote “it should be the object of every well-governed commonwealth to make the state rich and keep individual citizens poor”

He is on the cynical side, though
