  • I literally said at the start that authority isn’t just any inqeuality, and you didn’t address it.

    First of all that condition is as arbitrary as any other and you have no more authority to impose it than I do imposing mine. Secondly, I did address it: I limited the term authority specifically to social relations. Between people. Engels doesn't.

    I would like to see you justify this incrsdibly broad definition.

    I already did:

    If you find yourself having it and are keen on proper praxis then you take on the responsibility to lift the other up as you are capable to do. I think for that reason alone I think it’s important to recognise it as authority, so that we are careful when using it, which, in the end, is unavoidable.

    In other words: It's important to call bootmaker's authority authority so that anarchists, bootmakers or apprentices or passers-by, are careful around that topic. Like a candle it's not a thing that's bad per se, but a thing which should not be left unattended. Eyes need to be on it.

  • Not really. They've been on the stabilising path for about two years now, removing stuff like dataframes from the default feature set to be able to focus on stabilising the whole core language, but 1.0 isn't out yet and the minor version just went three digits.

    And it's good that way. The POSIX CLI is a clusterfuck because it got standardised before it got stabilised. dd's syntax is just the peak of the iceberg, there, you gotta take out the nail scissors and manicure the whole lawn before promising that things won't change.

    Even in its current state it's probably less work for many scripts, though. That is, updating things, especially if you version-lock (hello, nixos) will be less of a headache than writing sh could ever be. nushell is a really nice language, occasionally a bit verbose but never in the boilerplate for boilerplate's sake way, but in the "In two weeks I'll be glad it's not perl" way. Things like command line parsing are ludicrously convenient (though please nushell people land collecting repeated arguments into lists).

  • In Germany the threshold is around 200 Euro, more precisely up to an import VAT of 10 Euros, where the state can't even be bothered with the paperwork. 150 for import duties, though that doesn't apply to alcohol, tobacco and perfume, unless everything is under 45 Euros and both sender and recipient are natural persons and no money has been exchanged.

    You don't want to completely abolish thresholds as you don't want to spend more money on collecting taxes and duties than you collect. The general strategy of the financial police seems to be to make paying duties as inconvenient for private citizens as possible, they'll hold back the parcel and you have to go to them, probably a couple of towns over, and fetch it in person. The smart thing to do when buying from alibaba or such is to choose shipping from a EU warehouse as then all the import stuff has been dealt with by the seller.

    We still do have duties within the single market, btw, because different taxes on alcohol, tobacco, etc. Relevant mostly for ølvikingar.

  • Es bleibt ja nicht bei einem Gebäude. Es muss ja nicht überall wie in Brügge aussehen aber wenn du alle Leit- und Richtlinien abschaffst dann kriegste Brüssel. Da geht man durch, da bleibt man nicht auf ner Bank oder in einem Cafe hängen. Der öffentliche Raum stirbt aus, Menschen entfremden sich weiter, die soziale Atomisierung wird verstärkt und dann haben wir den Salat. Du kannst dir den Einfluss den Architektur und Stadplanung auf Psychologie und Gesellschaft hat nicht einfach wegwünschen.

    Guck mal, Nachkriegs-Neubau in SH. Gebaut als die Wohnungslage sehr zugespitzt war, will sagen drei Familien auf eine Wohnung. Noch ein Bild. Das ist das Pendant zur Platte hier, Kalksandstein und Klinker. Erzähl mir nicht dass man das heute nicht mehr bauen kann.

    ...gerade bei Klinker kann man Architektonisch langweilig sein und es sieht trotzdem zumindest passabel aus. Klinker ist die Rauhfasertapete der Fassaden.

  • TrueNAS

    ...ich mein... Das ist ein BSD. Noch mal ganz anderes Territorium. Und Serversoftware. Da wird angenommen dass du mit POSIX um kannst, kaufst dir ja auch keinen Bohrhammer und beschwerst dich dann dass du nicht weißt was SDS ist. Hast du übrigens schon mal cd --help oder ls --help probiert. Zumindest mit bash und GNU coreutils wird dir da geholfen (du suchst nach ls -l), BSD, frag mich nicht.

  • “Das Eigentum anderer passt aber nicht in mein Dorf Feng-Shui” für eine eher niedrige Priorität

    Mit der Einstellung bauste dann ganz schnell Banlieues. Es geht beim Leben um mehr als nur den Innenraum. Zumindest, SCNR, für Leute die ab und zu den Keller verlassen.

    Diese ganzen hässlichen Neubauten halten übrigens auch nicht lange, die gesamte Bautechnik ist auf darauf nicht ausgelegt. Ein Wohnblock aus Kalksandstein mit Klinkerfassade hält ewig... und das sind hier im Norden darüber hinaus auch noch die lokalen Ressourcen.

    Und hier mal zum Thema "sieht alles gleich aus". Oder was neueres (tatsächlich Nachkriegszeit, ist von Ernst Barlach).

    Wovon man mal weg muss sind Regeln wie Abstellplätze für Autos, so ne Tiefgarage kostet einiges.

  • Der IISS hat da ein dickes Ei gelegt und kaufkraftbereinigte mit nicht bereinigten Zahlen verglichen, Anders Puck Nielsen hat da ein Video

    Europa könnte Russland -- gerade in seinem jetzigem Zustand -- schon selbst schlagen aber bequem wäre das nicht. Wir wollen nicht in eine Situation rutschen wo wir uns zwischen Selbstverteidigung und unserer wirtschaftlichen Stellung in der Welt entscheiden müssen, Kriegswirtschaft ist allgemein nicht so dolle, deshalb ist es wichtig genügend auf Lager zu haben, und auch genügend Produktionskapazitäten, damit es im Ernstfall nicht eng wird weil erstmal nachgeholt werden muss. Merkt man ja jetzt auch ganz schön im Moment: Eigentlich müssten wir in der Lage sein der Ukraine mehrere Panzer am Tag zu schicken ohne auch nur in's Schwitzen zu kommen.

    Viel Geld könnte man alleine schon durch gemeinsame Beschaffung sparen, denn bei Kriegsgerät kommt es gerne mal vor dass man für doppelt so viel Geld die zehnfache Menge kriegt, diese ganzen nationalen Kleinserien sind Geldverschwendung. Klar, wenn die Briten einen Panzer kaufen dann muss da ein Teekessel rein aber sowas kann man auch modular machen. Kannst auch weiterhin Deutschland auf Ketten und Frankreich auf Rädern haben aber die Türme sollten sich schon austauschen lassen.

    An einigen Ecken und Enden wird Rüstung allein deshalb jetzt etwas mehr kosten weil US-Systeme ersetzt werden müssen und dazu bei den Herstellern komplett neue Kompetenzen erschaffen werden müssen. SeaHawks z.B, gibt keinen anständigen europäischen Marineschrauber. Die deutschen fliegen schön halten aber leider keine salzige Luft aus, wo gibt's die denn auch schon auf hoher See.

  • Maybe that should be a reminder to be culturally tolerant and not over-interpret figures of fucking speech. It's an English metaphor. Have you ever been to England, they love their manicured lawns. Performative outrage, the lot of it. I could say that the AI missed the ball but then the AI would complain about quadruple amputees being insulted over not being able to play sportsball. Cut me a fucking break.

  • Authority is a power imbalance in a social relationship. It does not, in itself, imply domination or monopoly or expertise it happens each time two people are not on eye level regarding something, cannot, for whatever reason, relate to each other as complete equals. If you find yourself having it and are keen on proper praxis then you take on the responsibility to lift the other up as you are capable to do. I think for that reason alone I think it's important to recognise it as authority, so that we are careful when using it, which, in the end, is unavoidable.

    We don’t need to be dominated in order to clean up our garbage. And the state is often really bad at collecting garbage, so just teach people that.

    Garbage collection is a non-issue over here, it just works. Couple of neighbouring municipalities own the company and it's run on an at-cost basis with decent wages. If, suddenly, an anarchist revolution were to happen I'm quite sure the general arrangement would carry over.

    ...and I took that as an example precisely because (over here) it just works, it's a baby you wouldn't want to throw out with the bathwater. I'm reasonably sure that wherever you're living, you can think of such an example.

  • Knowledge is power, thus with a knowledge gap we have a power gap. As a bootmaker's apprentice, my capacity to judge whether or not I'm getting taught proper technique is limited, I can alleviate that disparity by consulting more than one bootmaker, but ultimately that gap won't vanish until I, myself, have mastered the craft.

    Authority is the socially-recognised power to dominate.

    ...unnatural authority. Natural authority aka the bootmaker's does not require social recognition. The bootmaker knows more than the apprentice no matter what society thinks, the imbalance is not socially caused.


    If you don't want to call it authority, fine, but saying "as bad as Engels" is going too far IMO. While bootmaker's authority does not rely on (wider) social recognition it is still a thing that happens in a social relationship, and not in the relationship of a worker to their alarm clock or whatnot. Though arguably in the modern world that line is also blurring, see technological paternalism, OTOH it's just a reification of the relationship between the producer and consumer of a technology. It's an unavoidable (unless you're a primitivist) side-effect of increased division of labour in a technologically advancing society.

    Heck I'm myself on the page of "the state is a people, a territory, and organisation", simply because the classical anarchist definition drifted miles and miles from the dictionary and the lived experience of people in liberal democracies, when you say "abolish the state" they hear "abolish garbage collection". We can re-do terminology once in a while, it's a good idea.

  • We actually did. Trouble being you need experts to feed and update the thing, which works when you're watching dams (that doesn't need to be updated) but fails in e.g. medicine. But during the brief time where those systems were up to date they did some astonishing stuff, they were plugged into the diagnosis loop and would suggest additional tests to doctors, countering organisational blindness. Law is an even more complex matter though because applying it requires an unbounded amount of real-world and not just expert knowledge, so forget it.
