I'm from US and I re-read "developing countries like us or India" like 3 times and then I realized that you're absolutely right.

How lazy cryptographers do ai

I really got swept up in the stop trump fever the last 5 years and really forgot about this. For some reason I was convinced they were the good guys.

What do you think can realistically be done, or will likely happen

I'm about to be one of those grads, career changing in my early thirties. Whoops. Got into Berkeley CS so hopefully that carries my foot into a door somewhere

I think this is meant to highlight how expensive it is to be poor, not to serve as financial advice for purchases.

I completely agree with you that it's unhelpful as financial advice but I think the idea behind it is to point out that because poverty forces people to buy substandard products or not products in bulk, it ends up more expensive in the long run

Yeah for sure. You could get an all in one inverter battery bank, but I prefer piecemeal systems because of repairability/replacing parts/upgrading parts.

Basically you'd get a battery, when I was shopping around I found eg4 or gyll batteries to be the cheapest. Small Texas company. That could have changed. Some ppl make their own or use them from a car, but soldering plus making a management system seemed like more than I wanted to deal with.

You need a way to charge the battery (panels etc) and also a way to get the power into the battery safely and efficiently (charge controller).

And then you need a way to get energy out of the battery to your apploances. You can get DC appliances that match your battery voltage or get an inverter.

For all of those parts you need to run some simple calculations for efficiency and compatibility and use case (how big of a system etc), as well as some fuses and possibly lightning arrestors and grounding.

Totally doable and a good bit of fun

I honestly don't know enough about it but I'm sure there's a way, maybe get isp's to flag traffic going to known vpn servers and fine them if they connect users or something like that?

Why, is it impossible or difficult to enforce?

Don't want them to ban vpns

Cool so it actually sucks, it's not my incompetence

I use discord but i can't stand it as a platform for discussion. Forums, even reddit, seem so superior to me as a format for discussion and storing information. Maybe I haven't figured out discord yet

It's your duty to vote to stop fascism (again). I'm so tired of that message. They can earn my vote, I've tried stopping fascism twice now, what have they done besides maintain the status quo

If we do have a 28 election, surely they'll have a primary and not just run whoever the leadership picks and proceed to campaign on our civic duty to prevent fascism (every 4 years)
