I still can't fully accept that 1GB is not normal, 2GB is not very good, and 4GB is not all you ever gonna need.

If only it got bloated for some good reasons.

You can be killed with steel, which has a lot of other implications on what you do in order to avoid getting killed with steel.

Does steel fuck it all up?

Centralization is a shitty backwards idea. But you have to be very conscious of yourself and your instincts to neuter the part that tells you that it's not to understand it.

Distributivism minus Catholicism is just so good. I always return to it when I give up on trying to find future in some other political ideology.

It's nutritious. Instead of carefully observing some diet you can eat some beef and buckwheat or cabbage or beans, and you're good.

That said, I eat meat so rarely that my relatives worry, mainly because it takes some time to cook if you boil it, and I'm lazy and unorganized, and frying it has the potential of, eh, leaving the kitchen for 5 minutes which turn out to be half an hour and returning for the smell.

Other than that people can't care about every problem at once.

Especially since calling a laptop "book" is hardly a civilization-level achievement, hardly even an idea, it's fashion and I approve of Chinese treating trademarks like this.

I think trademarks and patents should die. We'd see a better world without them, and very quickly.

It's still more like a townsquare with everyone talking than like a bunch of thematic pubs, so - doesn't feel the same.

Leftist ideologies include dogmatic statements. Just like all other ideologies. Otherwise we wouldn't use the word "ideology" at all.

If this were true, you'd say that left ideas are the closest to your expectation of what's best and that'd be fine, and not call yourself leftist. Now it's as if you are putting ideology above practice.

Which would be the same as me always feeling as if I were lying while, say, saying that I'm a libertarian or a distributist, because I have no permanent attachment to any ideology, just these seem sane now. So I rarely say that and feel bad when I do.

Which efficient and not failing systems does your kind of leftists propose?

Leaving it open is a valid political position of making efficiency more important than ideology.

I don't know which architectures may be invented in the future to work, I'm not against them coming from leftist premises, but I've met fewer leftists interested in even imagining them than libertarians or even conservatives.

When most leftists are too busy with hating on groups of people and thinking about what others own, it's really hard to talk to them about anything real.

I've literally finished my comment with it.

If your point is ...

You know, of course, that the answer to that "if" is usually "no", and this is called a strawman argument.

... then I’m afraid ...

No reason to be afraid! Sing and dance and hug your family, friends and house animals.

... relatively few historical examples ... people sharing tools ...

People have been sharing tools since eating less fortunate breeds of people, the optimal architecture of that is the point of contention.

Never tried for real, I see.

Why would one hate right ideas then, of the libertarian kind.

Historians studying them don't hate, true, but we also don't hate plague or dog shit on the road.
