Good point on the taxation, as taxing automaton may result in less incentive to automate.
IMO the Star Trek type utopia would only work if we had replication technology like they have in the show. Those machines that essential make anything you want from food/water to material things out of thin air.
I believe OP was referring to a utopian Star Trek style UBI where all things are provided with matter replication. Essential life at that point is the betterment of ones self and evwyone around them.
But you are correct in our world currently UBI would work more as a cushion or buffer. It would ideally allow individuals that are stuck in jobs they hate, to move to jobs they actually enjoy and are good at.
It would mean less fear of loosing a job and give workers more power. You would not be able to live on the wage at your current life style, but it would allow you to at least survive in someway if you lost your job.
I believe the best way for something like this to get implemented is by taxation of businesses that have automated they workforces. For example a car production line has removed human roles and replaced them with machines, or a store removed cashiers and replaced them with self checkouts.
Its funny that basis things like working plumbing, or access go clean water could be considered luxurious.
I would keep my current job as well but take a day off each week (instead of one of my weekend days) to cleanup my surrounding neighbourhood. I would probably use the extra income to repair some wood benches, buy paint to cleanup graffiti on walls, and throw down grass seeds along local trails.
Never too late or too soon to go out and improve aspects of your community.
Simple items like picking up a few peices of litter on your streets, in your local parks, or on any nearby trails. Every little bit helps, and the more local residents in the area do the same thing, the more beautiful and inviting your city becomes.
You and me both, hopefully its not just being shipped to india.
Unfortunately this could be the case and the cynic in me feels this could be a green washing scheme like you said.
But hopefully with what some cities are doing now with charging the full economic and social cost of blue & black bin programs to companies and manufactures this could start having a real good impact.
Specially since most manufactures shift the cost of recycling and trash to communities and tax payers. Instead this cost should be internalised by the manufacturer and retailer.
Hopefully this kind of shift promotes better sustainable packaging, and prevents things like planed obsolescence and fast fashion.
This right here unfortunately, the glue will cost more if you only use the glue once. We live in a world where items are easier/cheaper to throw out then repair.
Though I guess the cheapest thing you could do is drill a hole on the backside with a drill and put a screw through it. Only a short screw that goes into the cylinder/shaft.
Also fyi, most plastics from the dollar store are not guaranteed to be toxic free. You may find most of these plastics melt on pans with use over time and might end up being consumed. Usually what I opt for is metal on a metal pan or silicon cooking utensils that don’t seem to melt or loose peices of them in what I am cooking.
This right here, am alien can confirm
When something gets removed from steam and it’s in your steam library but not installed, is it gone forever?
The older I get the more I agree with Agent Smith.
Just the cheaters that are caught, the ones never caught are living the life.
Thanks I will give it a shot and see how it goes. The biggest thing holding me back is older hardware like the Nvidia Shield for example not supporting AV1.
I wonder if it’s possible to re-encode from H.265/HEVC to AV1
When I did my in floor heating in the master bathroom I went through something similar regarding the zones.
My goal was to be able to control a zone for the shower and a zone for the floor tiles everywhere else independently of one another.
Two separate lines are run in these areas under the floor to one two zone thermostat, on a dedicated line to my breaker panel. From what I found out during my process is that a two zone thermostat controls both zones at the same time.
I could not find any thermostat control panel that controls two lines independently and figured if I ever do a whole home in floor heating system each room would need its own thermostat.
Plus side to a two zone thermostat in a room is if one of the cables is cut in a remodel the other zone still functions.
Finamp for all your local music, you will need a jellyfin server. Plexamp is pretty good as well, but you will need a Plex server.
Could you provide a few examples or point me in the right direction to bypass the always online or call home features.
Currently my Library is shared with a reverse proxy and only accessable through CloudFlare. My firewall and pihole block my Plex server from sending anything to the Plex analytics address. Within Plex settings I have it set that Plex is not accessible online.
Is there anything else that I can do or missed.
Worth a watch as well
This video here explains one of the issues one minute in as to why pedestrian deaths are rising. Definitely worth a watch.

The way car companies are working around this legislation is why it’s so hard to find and buy smaller sized cars even if there is demand (think smart car size). It also makes our community’s less safe for pedestrian traffic and less enjoyable to walk.
I have not played with these setting touch, most of it I just leave as default. Not sure if anyone else can chim in here to help you out.
I did see something here regarding your device that you may need to add to your configuration yaml file.

Absolutely, though I do wish more of the public and local governments would follow this type of mentality. Seems like most local towns and cities have lost this.
Seems like everything’s more along the lines of “if it’s not completely broken, then don’t bother fixing or even improving it.”
