People oppress other people. So that's just a made-up problem. [20:12] Librarian Of course it's bad when people *use* capital to oppress other people, but it's just like fire: it's a tool for people to do things. If people choose to do bad things, we need to be protected from those *people*, not from capital. [20:13] activelow wouldn't take for granted western industry was leading ahead in every field of science [20:14] activelow it is known history soviets implemented some UMTS type modulation scheme early, long before CDMA was implemented and patented with modern mobile phones [20:14] Librarian So, what should we be free to do? To work for whom we want, to transact with whom we want, to communicate with whom we want, to recreate with whom we want, to live with whom we want. [20:14] Librarian So, yeah, I imagined thinking that speech rights and economic rights were worth preserving, and it was entirely logical and reasonable. [20:14] techrights-news Don't rely on companies like #google and #microsoft ... they don't care about you, they don't give a F about you. All they care about is themselves; ignore their rhetoric and self-host everything. It's the only reliable way to go. Do #freesw devs care about you? No, but the licence gives us collective control. [20:15] Librarian I'm noticing a pattern here: when immibis types, "Wow. Imagine thinking [X]," [X] always turns out to be a darn good idea, and worth not actually imagining, but actively working toward. [20:15] Librarian immibis: can you please say, "imagine thinking COVID could be cured," and seeing if your mockery turns it into a good idea that can be realized? [20:16] immibis Disagree. In capitalism, capital is the controlling factor, not capitalists. Capitalists are just as much beholden to the whims of capital as workers are to the whims of capitalists. [20:17] immibis Tim Cook could wake up one morning and be like "You know what, let's not do planned obsolescence." But then it would be the start of Apple's slow decline to a much smaller company, and some other company which did do planned obsolescence would grow to Apple's size. [20:18] Librarian Capital doesn't have whims. People have whims. People can use capital to turn their whims into reality. [20:18] Librarian But that's a good example: Tim Cook does not use capital to force anyone to use Apple products. [20:19] Librarian It uses *political power* to stop their own customers from exercising rights of ownership (like reselling software they've purchased), so therefore concentration of such political power is bad. [20:20] Librarian But speaking up against such concentration of political power is what drives socialists into full cognitive-dissonance meltdowns, to copy-and-paste sentences over and over that make no sense in the changing context of conversations. [20:20] immibis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphor [20:21] immibis The system forces Tim Cook to do certain things, which happen to be unethical, regardless of his own wants. Oh sure, *he's* allowed to not do them. But he'll be replaced by someone else who will. [20:21] DaemonFC Well, more recently, the focus on judges has been less on experience and more on ones that are young enough to wait out the next president or two. [20:21] immibis The unethical things will be done. [20:21] immibis which force is causing them to get done? That force is in control [20:22] DaemonFC People who have no business sitting on the federal bench at all are being put there because they're in their 30s.

But they aren't *always* done. Only in the presence of highly-concentrated political power, driven by socialism. [20:23] DaemonFC The next way to sabotage the next president is to confirm as many young judges as possible. [20:23] activelow schestowitz: CDMA was soviet origin, so how than could have qualcom patented it after 1990? [20:23] Librarian What Tim Cook does, ethical or not, is irrelevant to me as long as I am free not to participate with him in a market. [20:23] activelow maybe this helps with understanding of the politics involved [20:23] DaemonFC If you can leave behind hundreds of judges in their 30s and 40s, they can wait out the next two presidents even if they both get two terms. [20:24] Librarian As long as I have the right to choose my economic involvement with him, he can't affect me. [20:24] DaemonFC schestowitz: CDMA was soviet origin, so how than could have qualcom patented it after 1990? [20:24] DaemonFC Making changes. [20:24] DaemonFC Not all of which have to be important or useful. [20:25] DaemonFC CDMA is on the way out in the US. [20:25] DaemonFC It'll take several more years to get rid of it completely. [20:25] activelow CDMA is a modulation scheme applied with various systems, mobile phone, and too stationary wifi iirc [20:26] DaemonFC T-Mobile is shutting down the legacy Sprint network. [20:26] DaemonFC And it has basically converted all of their more recent phones to GSM and pushed older models off the network completely or will by the end of this year. [20:27] DaemonFC schestowitz, Those store closings are already underway. [20:28] DaemonFC They ran out the lease on the Sprint store next to the T-Mobile store at the mall by running them as two T-Mobile stores right next to each other until the lease on one ran out. [20:29] DaemonFC They're eliminating all of the inefficiencies, then they're gutting the plans of all the Sprint perks, and then they're raising rates. [20:30] Librarian Actually, I can think of something highly unethical Tim Cook does: he sells Apple products to schools, and uses customer lock-in to prevent his products from working with other products. As I am not given the choice *not* to interact with Tim Cook in that instance, it is an example of Tim Cook behaving unethically and me not having a choice to opt out. [20:30] Librarian There are two obvious solutions to that problem: [20:30] *cbrtrnx[m] has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [20:30] Librarian 1. Anything funded non-consensually (like through income taxes) must be open-sourced. [20:30] Librarian 2. Stop funding anything non-consensually. [20:31] Librarian Either of those would be better than the current state, but there again, that's not "capital"'s fault. Capital is just a tool, which can be used for good or evil. It's the concentration of political power that creates that non-consensual (and therefore unethical) situation. [20:32] Librarian Socialists think that if they just concentrate political power more, to deprive people of economic choice, that it will reduce such unethical behavior. But of course, history proves exactly the opposite is true. [20:33] activelow DaemonFC: did i read correctly GSM voice calls is going down too? [20:33] Librarian That's why all socialists who are ethical people are already peacefully and voluntarily living their values on kibbutzim and communes, and those socialists who aren't, we know are despotic, totalitarian murderers.

Well, that's an easy fix: decentralize decision-making so that as consumables get consumed (and prices go up), transactors can choose cheaper resources. [22:28] Librarian We never just run out overnight. As resources become harder to extract, prices increase, and those who've preserved their economic rights can switch to better, more sustainable, more renewable options.

[22:30] Librarian So, just to be clear: [22:30] Librarian 1. We are agreed that soviet communism caused food shortages [22:31] Librarian 2. I can quickly and immediately show historical examples of where market-based conservation efforts brought back American bison so plentiful that it can be ordered as a burger in several bar-and-grills in my area.

[22:36] Librarian I am growing ever more curious about how you are so unaware of basic economic evidence that has been in front of our faces for the past century.

"as long as consumers are able to choose to use other resources than the ones which aren't there, everything will be fine." I'm sure Soviet leaders said that too.

As food became harder to buy, people just switched to more renewable options. [22:44] immibis such as eating insects [22:45] immibis and starving to death [22:49] Librarian I'm glad we're agreed, that we should *not* employ the economic methods used in countries that suffered from such shortages, as the Soviet Union and Venezuela. We should definitely *not* implement socialism, but use a free market instead, so people don't starve to death as they did in the USSR. [22:51] Librarian So, to prevent from making the mistakes they did, we must: 1. respect the economic rights of individuals to decide where to buy food; 2. respect the economic rights of supermarkets to choose their suppliers, 3. respect the economic rights of suppliers to forge relationships with a variety of farmers; 4. respect the economic rights of farmers to try different crops and different agricultural [22:51] Librarian techniques in order to adapt quickest to changing demands and natural circumstances. [22:51] immibis did you know hitler ate sugar? We should definitely not eat sugar. [22:52] Librarian When everyone along the supply chain has the economic right to choose their associations, their methods, their relationships, and their transactions, then they are free to innovate and improve, and respond more quickly to changing conditions. [22:56] Librarian I know you're just being facetious about Hitler, and that you're actually a big fan of his. (Seeing as he shared your love of dictatorially-ordered economics.)
