this “free” credit come from

It can come from issueing new currency. The cost of that is inflation.

cost to manufacture is always more than what people have

That’s what I’m wonder about mostly. This statement doesn’t occur in the wikipedia page, and seems unsubstantiated. A human or LLM hallucination.

Thank you

Where’s that quoted text from? I can’t find it on the linked wikipedia page.

What does that GPS display? A direction?

Reminds me of another thing: you see these boot scrapers all across european cities (1) They’re usually victorian era, and were used to clean horse shit from your shoes before entering a house.

One party’s debt is another party’s asset.

So yes, cancelling a debt looks the same as stealing cash in the issuing party’s bookkeeping.

Sliding ruler for doing multiplications (1). Still have it for nostalgia or post-apocalyptic scenarios.

It was me who did a dumb recently. Talking to a cellist, in English: “Oh, you’re a striker?”.

Yes: pizza

Boil em, mash em, put them in a stew

Im pushing back against your idea that since an individuals wealth isn’t cash, it’s not worth accounting for.

I’m argueing that it’s a privilege that it can be accounted for. The power of wealth is limited, and doesn’t extend to limiting my freedom.

In many, maybe most, historical and contemporary societies, that’s not the case.

In fact, they are far more equipped to seize things like your land, your data, your means of subsistence, than you are to defend them.

The opposite, quite in fact. I still live in a country where there’s rule of law, and democracy. That shit rules 👍

I don’t think it’s a false equivalency: my point is, that fact that it can be accounted for is neat! What’s Ghadaffi’s net worth? It doesn’t even make sense to ask the question, as he can sentence thousands to death on a whim.

Oh yes, as you can read above, it very much is. It is in its original description as found in the criticism by Karl Marx in Das Kapital, in 1867.

It isn’t according to the earlier definition of capitalism. Real capitalism hasn’t been tried yet. Show me an example of a real capitalist country? What’s Marx’s opinion on capitalism worth, as he hasn’t ever experienced a real capitalist country?

Mozilla has had a rough year so far, with the PPA fiasco hurting its reputation in the open source community. To make matters worse, a recent wave of layoffs made people question if Mozilla had forgotten about their core principles.

I just like firefox.

Meant to symbolize their activist spirit, the new brand identity of Mozilla involves a custom semi-slab typeface that spells Mozilla, followed by a flag that was taken from the M of their name.

What do I care.

I love gecko. I can’t not hate mozilla for some reason.

That’s not the goal. But if taxes and regulations make me so, I’ll assume they know what’s best for me
