If you don't care about upvotes/downvotes then why do you act on them? It's not like they matter even as much as they do on reddit.

First time I've seen Plasma recreated in a comic instead of nondescript or windows. Very nice.

Ohh so like buying new is superior? Nah. I mean for some things like hard drives (for PCs) or smartphones there's good reasons to do that (could have malware on it), but cars or appliances I'd think that someone who thinks buying new is superior is dumb. If the thing is well maintained, you're getting something from a device class leagues above what you'd get new. Plus modern machines are full of cloud crap that makes it break after a few years when the manufacturer pulls the plug on the servers. Used is king!

What's wrong with "used car" as a term?

I think it might be better to post youtube links actually instead of a frontend. People in here tend to have redirects set up already to their preferred frontend, and posting a link to some broken invidious instance for example would break that flow.

I guess not everyone will share the opinion, but sending canonical links will let everyone choose where to watch. For example, on my phone I have youtube links open with grayjay, but that only works if it's a real yt link.

On machines with just one gpu it's either that or no passthrough tbf

I set it all up as an automated step before a VM named "win" boots, and I can just start the vm and these steps happen on their own

It's actually possible to do it with a single gpu but it's trickier than if you had two. You can use libvirt hooks to stop all graphical processes (and log your gui session out), unload the kernel drivers for the gpu, and start the VM with the now unused primary gpu. Then do the reverse when the VM stops and you're back to your login screen.

How old are you? This seems like a relatively naive worldview, because it doesn't take into account how crafty people can be. What if I transfer some money to you and then claim that you did it by impersonating me? There would be no provenance of what you could be capable of doing since all info is public. Of course if you'd rather keep your age to yourself that's fine, since we're not in that theoretical society now.

You can absolutely kill someone without preparation, especially when emotionally or politically motivated (out in public with a strong punch, elsewhere when the opportunity arises). Check out this page on wikipedia for some material: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crime_of_passion

In a better world, ads would exist to do that. However as it is, they exist to push the viewer in any way possible to buy the product. If you see something in an ad, it means that the company marketing it has enough budget taken out of manufacturing and R&D to pay for the ad. So the vast majority of the time, if you see something in an ad it means the product is not that great. (edit: Because good products don't tend to need ads as they speak for themselves and their existence travels by word-of-mouth. Also called "organic traffic" by SEO people)

I think I understand the theory behind your idea, as in not that a single person or a group of people be transparent and open, but that everyone do it at the same time. It can lead to interesting discussion.

I think it falls apart because it would also require the immediate disappearance of bad faith and mistakes. Let's say your real name is public. A bad actor could call up your bank, tell them your name, security questions (your dog's name or whatever, since the animal adoption records would also be public), your account number (which is already more or less public today), and get access to your money. If they don't do it right away, call back later with even more info and socially engineer customer support to get in.

Then there are marginalised groups of people who are in danger every day when they're in public because of race, gender, religion, etc depending on location. If all that was public also, they'd get attacked even more on the regular.

What about when someone is critical of a government that while public to the degree of your preference, is in a great degree of control over the population by means of public funding restriction or fines? The existence of that person or group would be inconvenient at best to them, so they could just find out everything about the group, track them down and disappear them. Yes, that would be public as well, but the rest of the population would be too scared to do anything about it.

Also for me personally, I'm not interested in the input of other people about how I live, what I do and how I spend my money. And definitely not interested in any ads tailored to me based on my data.

In the first half, I think there's some sort of code created by the sharp sound that happens on each cut. I tried translating the first three (out of four) groups as binary and as morse, but nothing came out. It's way too specific with how rhythmic this sound is though, maybe it's a song? I don't think it matches Daisy Bell tho...
