I'd recommend one that's not plastic. (Though I have that same one and use it occasionally.) https://www.hario-usa.com/products/switch-immersion-dripper

I will say that double posting is a completely reasonable solution. More orgs should be the gateway where they *can* be seen, and have the visibility of the big platforms, but they *also* offer Mastodon as an alternative. If enough orgs do that, it enables people to just... move. It's hard for users to move when 75% of their content is exclusive to X. And it's hard for orgs to move when 75% of the users are on X. Double posting allows this to move to 10% X exclusive content, 60% content that's available everywhere, and 10% exclusive to open platforms. After the orgs move the content, it's so much easier for users to move, and after the users move, it's easier for the orgs to move. This should be a cooperative thing. And afaik it doesn't take *that* much effort to post the content to two places.

Would you enjoy being a garbage man or a plumber? Or is that work you're saving for others to *enjoy*? Doctors make good money and we don't have enough of them because it takes so much time and dedication. You think getting rid of money would help there? Do kids need to go to school? Five days a week?

Automated by who? We do need incentives to work. As technology and efficiency advances we should be able to work *less*, but we still need people to do work they/we don't want to do. Personally I think people are pretty happy working 24 hours a week even if their job isn't something they love doing. I'm more interested in working towards that, slowly, over time, than just going to "nobody needs to work".

Money out of politics. We need a constitutional amendment that money is not speech, and that it’s in the interest of the people to control how much influence money can buy. Having a domain name and access to some kind of basic text and video hosting should be considered speech. (But that doesn’t need to be in an amendment.) Corporations should be required to serve the public interest, even if that public interest is just providing a useful good or service. It should be made clear that persuing profit in a way that’s counter to the public interest (see Fallout) is illegal. (Note that prohibition under this would become an interesting discussion.) I’m fine with disallowing people over X age to run for office. Term limits outside of the very highest office are generally a bad idea. Clearly we need to patch some of our biggest vulnerabilities, the pardon process, the independence of the judicial branch, and the ability of the President to wage war without congressional approval. Gerrymandering is a problem that needs to be addressed. Perhaps proportional representation should be encouraged here.

Or the Russian regime. Or at this point the combination. Would your country like to join the Internet borg?

Stop doubling down on being a harmful idiot.

They already have a solution for that. They want to change it to say "no more than two consecutive terms.

Oh, I was talking about GitHub copilot that’s in visual studio.

Copilot isn’t bad, but generally I agree. It’s a tool that can be helpful, or you can just create problems for yourself down the road. It’s a lot like building a house. After all the drywall is up, it’s hard to tell if the studs are 18 inches apart or five feet apart, but you’re gonna find out eventually.

You guys agree and it’s just the word “subsidy” he has an issue with because subsidies have the connotation of helping actual people.

Well, no. And I think it was just not a few atoms. But we did it.

Btw, we just transmuted our first gold just recently.

That's fine. I don't see what's wrong with that. "Hey, I'd like to talk a bit about Project X. Is now a good time?"
