I think adding a bit of curvature to the six surfaces of a regular cube can throw off many. Then there’s scale. Astronomical scales and milli or micro meter scales adds its own complexity by the simple fact that we lack regular language tools to capture the ideas and express them completely.

Where do we see curved surfaces? Everywhere from flight routes to space flight to deep sea diving.

Though I am not all tbat clear where we apply 3d geometry at micro scale or smaller, just a hunch that we may need them.

Language plays catch up. Is.

In the context of VFX/3D art jobs that you’ve mentioned, it can be that the ability to do everything on a Linux system. What that entails is beyond me. I’m far removed from the area.

Taking the stab all the same.

At a high level, can you get the software working on Linux system? Can you get the codecs and whatnot installed and working? Can you get the data to be processed prepared for working in the environment? Can you convert the processed data to the format that is friendlier for consumption on a wide range of platforms? Are some questions that pop to the top of the mind. Basically if you can run a non trivial part of the business without making a fuss, I’d consider you proficient. What you can and cannot do outside of this scope is, well, none of my business.

At the risk of being downvoted to oblivion, trying to understand better here.

In all honesty, I wish the association with cryptocurrency is not there. Business choices, unless there’s a new way to run business, will bring these things onboard. Not defending the business choices in anyway. Merely stating my understanding of them.

The way I use Brave is, delegate it pages that absolutely cannot be viewed through Dillo browser with all CSS and images disabled. Though on mobiles, Brave is my default. On any week, I find myself reaching for Brave less than a handful of times.

Calculated misery by Tim Wu explains a lot too

TIL of IronFox 👍 Any chances F-Droid or FFUpdater can list it as well? Also, ironically, with enhanced tracking protection, JShelter, privacy badger, uscript origin on Fennec, https://ironfoxoss.org/ opens a blank page.

I tried arguing along similar lines. Failed and fell flat on my face when it came to history. There’s so much chat history on WhatsApp for instance that without a way to port it all over to Signal, near impossible if that to bring people over.

Made me look for the bad news. There doesn’t seem to be any luckily

I see that the available land area is shrinking at an increasing pace. Pretty sure water resources are dwindling similarly too. I see zero reasons to so much as congratulate pregnancies these days. The gains, which are codified in laws in the form of rights, to me, look basically like promises made by lawmakers to their citizens. Lawmakers are people too. And people keep their promises on a best effort basis. With dwindling resources, I see the ability of lawmakers to uphold rights shrink and dwindle too.

Like I said at the start, verboten, and I’m fine being alone on this. Though would be good to have company.

💯 I used AI as a placeholder for any tools or methodologies we might use

Australia alone cannot repeal those laws and expect to make a scratch if that. I was referring to every government across every jurisdiction all over the planet. I doubt that low birthrate would be seen as being so painful when businesses are not required to keep delivering growing profits every quarter.

No civilization ever studied is known to have survived its own localised climate catastrophe or some other catastrophe. Every one of them either perished or, accepted the limitations imposed by land, air, water and lived within those limits. We might want to look inside ourselves for refusing to accept this.

I can think of two things that are utterly verboten yet will force us to do some soul searching.

One is to repeal every law across the board that requires businesses to keep delivering growing profits. Those laws have done their job splendidly and are causing harm as their expiry date goes farther into the past.

Two is, repeal every law across the board that requires parental leave, daycare rebates and such other things. You just cannot continue to congratulate those who bring infants into this gas chamber of a planet.

What laws to have instead of these two? What to do with our own lives after repealing these two laws? I don’t know. I’m merely hoping that the collective intelligence of 8 billion aided by AI and whatnot will see a way forward after these roadblocks are removed.
