You do you.

Where do you go when TAILS doesn’t feel safe anymore?

I actually didn’t expect that! Thanks for trying that for me.

Thank you for engaging in good faith.

To see if it also censors that.

Ask it about the MOVE bombings

Ask it about the Kent State massacre

Things like this move me to imagine a world completely devoid of ads. “But how would you discover a product you didn’t know you needed?” I don’t care. I would go without that product. That is preferable to me.

You know what else they could have done, as a compromise? Make the ad screens partially transparent, by stippling the pixels, or by having glass sections, or by turning the LCD completely transparent for part of its refresh… there are many ways to not be anti-consumer garbage meant only to jump in front of eyeballs.

Naked tape futurism

Dig the clicky switches, dials, knobs, and levers on old audio equipment. I was intrigued by that dual knob so I paused for a second to try to figure out what it does. Looks like it’s just a volume knob, the outer knob controls the left, and the inner controls the right microphone (best guess based on markings).

If they survive multiple generations, then they survive. I give that a less than 50% chance (“unlikely”). Selecting for the wealthiest 1% is selecting for 1) elderly 2) psychopathic 3) men. Only 10% of the population of the richest 1% is female, and I would assume they are also older than the average person. I’m putting a lot of weight on the psychology of the wealthy and the state that we’ve “collectively” (it was them) put this planet into.

These scenarios are identical in my opinion. They’ll likely dwindle and die in a short time anyway. The wealthy are not particularly well suited to rebuilding society, nor are they at a disadvantage, they are just average people who (used to) have wealth.

Actually, little side thought occurs to me here, they can’t access their wealth unless it was stored physically, and even then, only if our concept of currency hasn’t changed. In my version of this scenario, I’m assuming the 1% still have useful currency, banks still work, etc.

So we got a bunch of more or less equally rich people, who may have access to resources, but their laborers and security forces are Thanos-snapped away.

Hmm…

My guess is that the ones who have weapons will establish a sort of warlord apocalypse scenario. Wouldn’t be much different from any other random selection of 1% of the population. The resources you hold and the skills you know matter even more when society disappears. It will start with 1%, the sudden shock of not having most other people to provide for each other will quickly halve that. The fighting over resources will kill a bit more. Eventually there will be an environmental disaster like a drought, and that’s it for humanity.
