Just to clarify, in the video I hoover the (unfortunately invisible) cursor above the comment links, which then appear at the bottom of the screen.

Lol, I didnt see the screenshot yet. Thanks.

(Doesn’t it make sense to separate these options?)

(Loving the updates of the latest jerboa version BTW)

You mean this?

Great story

This

TIL

You mean get rid of family and friends right?

Can’t find any, but I’m on a slightly obscure OS (https://e.foundation/e-os/) so probably they have made some choices like that. Thanks!

I’m pretty sure I don’t. What is different in my case? The background color of the icon?

What could a Fediverse alternative look like? One in which every community gets to fill their own canvas, and the resulting canvasses are peacefully co-existing as a patchwork in a shared main larger canvas?

Adventure Time

Great

Thanks, I had also found those pages, but they didn’t really help. This turned out to be the solution: https://prouser123.me/mastodon-userid-lookup/ Thanks anyway!

See the book “Riding for Deliveroo” by Callum Cant. You’ll have a clear answer (at least when it comes to the food delivery platforms). (You can find it at http://libgen.rs/).

I’m not sure if automation really brings down our labour footprint though. For that to be the case, automation would need to lower the number or hours we work, which I don’t believe is the case?

No, specialization is fine. It’s just that, through the market, you lose track of how many people work for you.

Let’s say you own an estate and have a gardener, a butler and a maid, it’s clear. It’s visible. You know it, they know it, your neighbours know it. If you, through the market, effectively consume 3 fte of (international) labour, you’re practically living the same aristocrat life, without realizing it.

If this situation would be more visible, people might be more willing to vote for (internationally) redistributive politics?

Happy to be on your instance!

I was thinking about a website/app that uses Google Translate API, but saves each result to its own database, so that every time anyone uses it, we slowly build an alternative together.

But I guess to have a properly functioning alternative you would also want to have the code that generates the results?

Thanks for the reference, I’ve added the book to my reading list.

However,knowing the price of commodities are more closely correlated with labor-time than with profits (or ‘markups’;

I see. Assuming that prices are mostly made up of labour costs (?), I “only” need to know the average hourly wage/salary in the supply chain-network of the products I consume could get me a rough estimate of the labour time that went into it.

variations between prices and labor costs are, on average, 15%,

Is this in Shaikh’s book? If so, do you maybe have a page reference for this? Do you mean that on average, prices are for 85% made up of labour costs? And the rest is profit [1] and rent [2]?

[1] what workers effectively pay their bosses to be allowed to use their machines

[2] what farmers need to pay to landowners to be able to use their land

Yes it is mind-boggling. But then again a lot of these processes serve many people. It may take months for a farmer to grow the wheat that is in my bread, but in doing so he provides for thousands of breads. So effectively my bread doesn’t contain “months of work”, but “months of work” / “thousands of pieces of bread”.
