I'm sick and tired of the Capitalist religion and all their fanatic believers. The Western right-wing population are the most propagandized and harmful people on Earth.

Correct. Current society brings the worst behavior to the front, but all humans have the capability to behave in many many ways according to environment. Claiming that "Human nature" is a certain way, is one of many very dangerous Capitalist excuses. That way all problems are caused by 'bad humans', not a 'bad ideology'. Problem 'fixed', but ANY form of Capitalism = fighting for your life/livelyhood on a daily basis, or die trying. This mechanism put everyone in a merciless race to the bottom of social behavior - ME first attitude, that harms everyone.
Too bad the rich Oligarchs own humanity's information apparatus..

I don't know, but allow me a soft rant about the 'distributed' part;
Couldn't selfhosters try to 'organize' and share these burdens ? Why pay for external cloud backup, or anything, when selfhosters can just help each other storing parts of others backup. Then everyone have an automatic back-up.
The tools seem to be there, but Its like there are all these super-skilled infra-structure selfhosters that know everything about self-hosting solutions, but they lack the self-organizing ability to sollve these typical - and a bit trivial, lets be honest - problems in a full p2p style. The result looks to be that all self-hostings solution above the threshold of an average individual selhoster, have to be done in the cloud, and everyone is 'siloed' in their own mini data center.
But, with existing tools, AI and a little imagination, it shouldn't be too hard to 'organize' a little (though here) design a self-hosting p2p backup solution from existing tools. ..or a solution for most of the other cloud services we still rely on..
But maybe its something else ? ..to me, it just seems unnecessary for a high expertise self-hoster community that - when combined - are an absolute gargantuan cloud-service infrastructure ..to still have such basic capacity issues (no offense meant to op, or anyone!), and still have so high reliance on cloud services. Seems odd to me..
Too bad, but we just have to live with open source being used for shitty purposes also.
I think it is unethical to pay (or demand payment) for things that can be copied freely. It's a joke, insanity, a depraved legacy/necessity from the Blue Church.
Enough with the Chinese scaremongering. It is getting hysterical !
It's three words, alright, but the first word are mis-spelled. I think it starts with a "K".. "Ki" ..something ?
Skimmed a little, but the conclusion sounds correct. Environmental pressures lowers our cognitive abilities, reduces our cognitive load threshold. Besides the cognitive load problem for all lower classes, people are also filled with bad information/values from their media landscape. Lastly there's "Spite".
Inability of the observer: lower stress threshold -> brain deficits. Confirmation bias, anger etc, and can counter a change. Value-disorder: Psychopathy/Spite (make others hurt more than one self), belief in ideological Dogmas that prevent a change towards better. Social/Cultural pressures: being in-group vs out-group Information: Missing or wrong information from a media landscape that doesn't make money by selling truth/accuracy.
There are other ways of ordering them, but we don't make 'free choices' as is widely believed. Even if we say that we 'control' 10% of our behavior, 90% of our choices are always context dependent, and have a cause. Most of the causes originates, or are amplified in current societies.
Our apparent stupidity all come from the environment/society we have 'chosen'. So yes, we have to change the system that generates all these activated behavioral phenomenons. We are locked in a systemic momentum. A better societal option could be a 'Resource based Economy' now guided by AI, but I'll leave that for others to discuss.
Fun experiment. Seems like a good type of question for an AI, but if we imagine that there is no turbulence (laminar flow/fall), then hair would just raise straight up with little extra resistance beyond your own air-resistance. But in normal atmosphere, the hair would start to oscillate and create eddies and stuff (like a flag/flame), which would hold you back a little. However, I think that would be like hanging from a series of torn parachutes that also went turbulent (flapping) all the way down - exciting but deadly I presume ?
Without knowing it for sure, I think the weight from the hair it self would quickly overtake the minimal drag force at the edge between hair turbulence/atmosphere. I don't think you can survive in any way, but there is likely a sweet-spot where it helps the 'most'. 25m. ?
The inspired question could perhaps be: 'How much Hair do I need to weave a Parachute ?', 'how do I grow a HUMONGOUS Afro hair ..fast ?', or 'how much Hair do I need to land on if I want to survive without a Parachute ?' ;-)
More propaganda.. We have never had a more Authoritarian power as the Western 'liberal/Globalist' power. But they apparently have a lot of success convincing uneducated people that THEY are freedom/democracy, while anyone else is 'Dictators' and 'Evil'. Childish and sad..
Trump have the exact same policies as everyone before him - not more, or less 'Authoritarian than all the DEMS that did exactly the same as Trump. All ordinary people should really include some criticism of Liberalism/Globalism, and follow criticism of the Empire known as 'The Empire of Lies' (not without reason).
For those that have started to sense the cracks in the Western Narrative, maybe that Russia and China seem to be fine countries, and are interested in understanding what is happening in the world, start by watching Brian Berletic on Youtube. The rest will follow..
Capitalism <> The Blue Church <> pure Religious belief-system. same same same.

Guix is a great and modern Operating system, where most things are thought through in the FLOSS (free libre open source software) spirit. but besides the installer, you will get your hands dirty in the terminal, with a little Scheme coding (configs are in Scheme (a Lisp like language (that uses an insane amount of ()'s (!!)))) - imagine that. Anyway, standard Guix doesn't come with proprietary drivers, so you'll have to add the non-guix repository (gitlab/github) for many wifi drivers. Not quite as easy as other Distros, but doable if you take small steps and copy&paste your first configurations.
I use Flatpak's to enhance the software selection, installing from git/pypi and others is also possible.
ONE anecdotal downside is that I have experienced a few machines where the installer fails, and I have to do it manually. Doable, but it does require a little nerdyness to fix.
All Guix experts have apparently mind-melded with Emacs, and are nerdy compared to normal users ! The main focus is not on UX, but its a cool environment if you become interested in the inner workings of the system, or any of the nerd tool (LaTeX is a Classic, so you are almost there ;-).
If that all gets to hairy, you could try out https://www.pantherx.org/ that are a guix based distribution. I think they have enabled non-free firmware by default, and you get a nice(r) desktop experience out of the box, so there's that. I haven't tried it yet, tho.
Guix is both very advanced under the hood (where all the lovelyness happens), very stable, and very FLOSS, but for doing light work only, you might overshoot on raw Guix. PantherX is likely easier, but you'll perhaps have to live with a few proprietary blobs (closed source drivers) in the kernel.
I'm tired, sorry for errors..
Jeebus man. All cultural/social or intellectual reasons to believe what we do, Plus all the different versions of meaning, is being dumbed down to only a physical difference in our brain. We are back to finding 'criminals' by measuring skulls.
The paper seems like a paid research job - as in the conclusion were fixed. Let me guess, there's a big controversy in the world, and someone needs to be able to point anything to 'Authoritarians' - to 'Them' ? As if 'Lolbertarians' were less Authoritarian than 'Tankies'..
Functionality-wise, its a promising 'personality' training system. Could be my 'guiding voice' when my other agents run autonomously for longer time. Could also be used to create Agents imitating the thinking of some Hooman experts we want to influence some agent sub-system we have, or just creating a domain-expert AI.
However, it have the option to connect to a seemingly(?) closed-source 'AI network', where people can buy services, create NFT's on personalities and similar market garbage, so I won't be using that part - open or not.
Just ordinary Capitalist incentives taking priority again. There are unfortunately monetary scams on all levels of Science, and it is breaking Science. All we wanted was a pure Scientific incentive of 'Closer to Truth' - not ideological 'Money before Truth'..
Absolutely. I'm not as AI-phobic, and I absolutely need both an information gathering agent that searches, follows rss/channels, explores/researches topics, summarizes swats of daily events, and I need a filter between me and corporate internet. Let the AI discard obvious slop, Ads/other propaganda and general informational noise.
However, you should think about how to share search-results so all our agents don't floor small services/commoners. We really need to get more information out of corporate silo's, and into public search/knowledge systems. Perhaps you can integrate some distributed search/knowledge properties ? (now that you have AI to help build it)
Every anti-capitalist, or just social activist, are celebrating every second of the fall of the evil empire and its small proxies around the world. We know that people are getting hurt and we don't like it, but in the big whole we are celebrating the death of the most stupefyingly harmful evil empire in human history. Go go Iran, Go go Russia, China, NORTH Korea, and all other nations and people fighting against the cultivated Psychopathy from the Western main stream religion - Capitalism.
