Funny how this post got flagged in half an hour.

What? Don't use TikTok? Encourage kids to read a book? The train has passed on this one. Pretty sure it's considered child abuse in the lower 48 if your toddler doesn't have their own smart phone and a 24/7 internet connection. I'm only slightly exaggerating.

Sounds like a dickhole narrative by someone not forced to hustle 24/7.

Punting it: when do we see the first rent-a-conomy solutions to hustling in your sleep? When we can turn dreams into movies, or shared experiences?

Perhaps as a compromise, a leg band like the ones they use to track birds except with anti-tampering features and a GPS.

Slightly OT, but how is IPFS these days? Every time I've tried using it the past few years it seemed very WIP. Cool sounding protocol though.

Hot take: Just blog with markdown in a git repo and let whoever is reading it do the rest.

no, "losing is part of the fun". i learned that from nethack.

it's funny, there is no prior legal framework for this and the judiciary isn't supposed to magic things out of their dignified assholes, but there it is. legislation really needs to lay down the law here, if anywhere. a no-knock warrant on one of our congress-critters ending in execution-by-cop might fix it.

yes i am angry.

there was a scotus case lately about this. pretty sure the police were covered under qualified immunity. my google fu is weak but it was in the past year.

cops (allegedly) stole $225000 but QI had them covered in the 9th circuit. scotus declined to pick up the case. for some background, the courts have declined to do anything about QI. they say it's legislator's job to fix it. odds are slim anything will happen.
