That, and it doesn’t sound great to put in a squirt gun, which is almost certainly going to leak to some degree

Got another one for your list:

• bombing, shooting, and committing arson against abortion clinics and doctors

Throwing up an onion

That’s state welfare/insurance, not socialism.

Shit that’s all you had to say

Unfortunately I quite prefer my mind being the only one I can hear.

How is that different from a state, aside from the decentralization of power?

What would prevent centralization of power?

I code using a telegraph machine in morse code.

Redjard already explained this, the situation for Hungary is similar.

Yeah kinda hard to do so when a world power decides to end your country.

If only there was some massive ball of super heated plasma in the sky from which we could draw energy from, that also moved the atmosphere of the planet which would open another avenue of energy capture, which also happened to move vast quantities of heavy things like water uphill which would also be an opportunity for energy, or if the ground beneath us was warm enough to use for energy, or if there were shiny green rocks the ground that could be used for power.

Yup, surely there have been zero alternatives.

How would society handle critical functions such as water sanitation for millions of people without a state to enforce equitable share of the cost?

As an American I support this move. Every fucking day they should have to answer for why we lost the very fucking symbol of freedom.

You made a lot of claims here. Do you have any sources to provide support?

Competition does the exact opposite of centralization. That’s why I can buy most goods from completely different vendors that differ in price and quality.

Competitions have winners, and in this case it means the competition goes out of business and dies, leaving you with a near monopoly or outright monopoly.

That power then gets used to

• lobby (bribe) the government to raise barriers to entry to prevent new competitors
• buy out new competitors
• intentionally price everything lower than competitors, at a loss, to kill competitors in a war of attrition that they can’t possibly outlast

And that’s even assuming there’s any competition at all, which often isn’t the case with certain things like healthcare, internet, electricity, etc.

There are some things you can do.

1. Use an old cartridge that is empty, and reset the chip to make it think it’s new and full.
2. Buy an ancient printer from like before the 2000s and use that.
3. Don’t print the zine, and instead print a template to cut out and use spray paint on. A template that includes a QR code to the zine if it’s hosted online, such as the case with sproutdistro. This will be less effective though, as less people will be willing to scan a QR code.
4. Use a stolen printer. So long as the theft can’t be traced back to you, you should be fine. The yellow dots only track things like the serial (which ideally doesn’t point to you and instead points back to some soulless corp), the time (which isn’t all that helpful on its own), and the IP address which can be delt with by not printing over wifi.

Another thing to consider:

Other methods of identification are not as easily recognizable as yellow dots. For example, a modulation of laser intensity and a variation of shades of grey in texts are feasible. As of 2006, it was unknown whether manufacturers were also using these techniques.

Something to keep in mind for anybody looking to print the really fun stuff. Just beware you take steps to deal with this.

The lower your orbit, the quicker your orbit decays due to atmospheric drag.

That’s the problem here though, that effect is lessening. So they’re gonna stay up their longer, potentially past the limits of what they can do to avoid collisions. That’s going to create problems for lower orbits.

Not exactly. If it goes into full blown Kessler syndrome, it will become everyone’s problem, including at the newly “freed up” lower orbits.
