I think we should live a more fulfilling life even if it costs luxuries. Less globalization, more localization. Economics should stop having the final say on everything.

If you're not a crude materialist, you can believe in eternal soul. Shouldn't we honor the dead, in that case?

Each country central bank should have its own national payment processing system. Why is this not a thing? Spain has Bizum, for example.

Why can't cargo ships deploy floating solar panels to power the ship motors?

Perhaps science and technology should stay out of the only remaining area of untouched human nature.

Ever since I started using Zig, making everything reproducible has never been as easy as just using the Zig build system.

>Your good friend most likely doesn't have the slightest idea how to handle things if your trip goes south.

Psychedelics are nice and powerful - maybe too powerful. I don't trust the system to use them responsibly. I'd rather obtain and use them on my own than as part of some private - or governmental - initiative. There's no one to trust more than a good friend to be there for you when the ride gets bumpy, not some guy in a suit doing it for the money.

From a quick look, only the client is open source. The server software is still privative. Why did Mozilla fund this? There is no shortage of libre software of self-hosted image servers in need of funding.
