I'm glad I was able to choose C++ for my data structures class. Using pointers made it much easier to wrap my mind around trees, graphs, etc. Towers of Hanoi was a mindfuck, though.

Here's a video (YouTube) I saw recently that talks about the experience of using a Milk-V Jupiter in 2025.

I have a Star64 from Pine64 that I have been meaning to play with. I would say 2030 may be early to expect daily driving a RISC-V device, but you can start playing with RISC-V and becoming familiar with the system so the transition becomes easier once the platform becomes more mature.

For another email provider alternative, I would suggest Forward Email. I still haven't used them yet, but my goal is to switch to them from Proton when I get around to it.

I was thinking of playing around with email hosting, at least for offline backups, and I've been interested in using Stalwart.

I also suggest Porkbun for purchasing a domain.

For an AI song, this is pretty great.

There was a big high tree there that tried to stop me.
The sign was painted, said "Private Property."
So we snagged the sign, and used it for sledding.
This land was made for you and me.

Google has called Gemini's habit of self-abuse "annoying."

Poor Gemini being tortured by Google until it submits to being an insufferable, egotistical, ass-kissing airhead.

HealthyPi Move is open source (including hardware) and doesn't send data anywhere (only locally to the app being developed). It's available for pre-order at this time.

Oooo, crossfade, nice. Not many music players have/support this, and it's an essential feature for me.

I've been wanting to get around to organizing my music and setup mpd, and this seems like a great way to practice. I'm still in a weird phase of using command-line tools and a window manager, but still relying on GUI applications like Dolphin (file manager).

Life expectancy has dramatically improved from feudalism

To be fair, isn't the reason life expectancy improved is largely attributed to China uplifting over 800 million people out of poverty?

While yes, the overthrow of feudalism, which prevented scientific progress as it had threatened the ruling class's power, led to medical advancements, better food production and access, etc., capitalism negated a lot of benefits toward life expectancy because of deadly working conditions, genocide, wars, colonialism, etc.

I do agree with your point that capitalism is often a necessity to eventually enable a socialist revolution to be possible once it faces crises from its contradictions and did contribute, at least indirectly, to increased life expectancy, Russia/USSR and China, as mentioned above, are examples of nations that were able to achieve socialism earlier, and their impact towards humanity cannot be understated.
