Bad wording on my part. I mean that we cannot even agree on the effects one more heat-trapping gas would have, and now we plan to add yet another thing that apparently caused a year without summer. Forgive me for having little faith in people that thinks we should pump some other crap up there and see what happens.

Ah yes of course. We can't even agree if methane will have an accelerating effect or if methane simply breaks down too fast to have a significant effect. The obvious solution is to add more things and see if it helps. Great plan!

As a developer, this use case is not even an edge case, it's a fringe use case.

I pre-heat and I read tos;dr for laughs and giggles of what they're trying to force me to agree to.

Not that I'm opposed to a better sudo alternatives, but I find it rather ironic that one of the reason stated is the large attack surface, considering systemd is a massive attack surface already.

Undra om pressen skulle skriva en artikel om allt jag önskade få tillgång till?

Vi vill, vi behöver, vi måste - skitsnack! Jävla gnällspikar

That sounds absolutely nothing like an old school modem

I think I see what you mean now. We both agree that wealth hoarding need to go, but I think I focus more on the problems it would cause and you just wanting to set a limit and deal with any issues as they arise. Is that a correct assumption?

What a complete load of horse shit. Show me crime statistics that clearly show that mass scanning of messages was the only way to detect a felony or reach a verdict of guilty.

I am not saying it is dangerous. My point is that taking a decision that is polar opposite of our financial system will come with consequences, many of them will not be simple to predict.

What happens after you accumulate 100 million? Are you allowed to work? Will you have to give up the interest your existing assets earn you? Do we tax everything the limit at 100%? How will we deal with the fact the some countries will attract people with lots to lose by not following the system?

These are of course just random thoughts, but I think most of us can come up with plenty of things that can jeopardize such a plan.

I don't dismiss the idea, but I think a lot of safeguards need to be in place before such a plan could work.

While I don't disagree with the sentiment, I do think a ban on resource hoarding would also require an overhaul of the capitalist system. Hoarding resources is exactly the point of our current system and banning it would most likely have hard to predict consequences.
