This isn’t an American only thing. You’re comparing to Russia, the former leading Communist power. Not many places would rival Russia in this respect, especially countries that fought tooth and nail against communism.

That’s just a bandaid on capitalism’s issues. Urging people not to support the biggest actor will never work in the grand scheme of things, when said actor provides their best immediate interests.

Wouldn’t get used by corps probably?

Yes as it is almost the same category as mastodon

Do you know where I can find them? I will seed them all

Sheinbaum is better than those two, but not as much as you think. Her mayorship and her party have good relations with Israel, cooperated with the US in violence against migrants, and silenced protestors.

Piracy is cool, but I prefer to use community-driven software rather than ones driven by corporate profits. I prefer a model where many can contribute to it, fork it, and for which making integrations is much easier thanks to its openness.

Pharma investors have a solid position and are already racking big profits from the continuous model of insulin treatments. A cure would be a detriment to their profits, so it’s not something they’re interested in funding.

No investor nowadays thinks a one-time-payment product is worthwhile. We’re already way past that.

This isn’t to mention that if you were an investor who decided you wanted to go ahainst that, that the other mega corporations (with more funds than most of those 5% individuals) wouldn’t engage in anti competitive practices to shut you down. Many companies had good products but still ultimately failed. I mean hell, the boeing events have shown us the lengths a corporation is willing to go to protect its profits, and that’s just what we heard of.

Unfortunately capitalism does not allow innovation to flourish like many of us were taught to believe.

The bar to entry in the pharma market is extremely high. You need a lot of capital to enter it, which quickly disqualifies 95% of the population.

Now of course, people without money can still get funding from investors. But those investors are already racking big profits from the continuous model of insulin treatments. A cure would be a detriment to their profits, so it’s not something they’re interested in funding. Not all pharma is insulin, but it’s one of the bigger pharma industries.

This isn’t to mention that if you were one of the 5% and managed to have the resources to find and produce a cure, that the other mega corporations (with more funds than most of those 5% individuals) wouldn’t engage in anti competitive practices to shut you down. Many companies had good products but still ultimately failed.

I tried it about a year ago. I don’t remember why I left it, but I think I did have a couple issues with it related to nvidia. I’ll try it again.

Will Godot be helpful? Given what I’m making is non graphical and I don’t really want to use pre-simulated stuff.

I don’t want to do it absolutely from scratch. I do want something that makes the math easier, but not restrict me in how I simulate something.

So I want something that would give me common functions used in simulations, but not something that gives me “here’s a model for money or person”.

I am simulating a database table as a json list. So a join table would be simulated also as a separate list (or separate json file).

What I described in the comment above is the same thing I originally described, but expanded.

A dependency relation can still be many to many (and in my case, it is). The comment above gives an example to prove it.

Sqlite is nice but the file would not be readable in a plaintext-like format from my understanding.

That’s a good point!

The reason I am using JSON is so I can have a flat file, sorta plaintext. This way, the storage is easily readable by the user without any special tools, and can even be debugged or modified directly, or using a tool like jq. All this without the need for a heavy database engine, indexing, etc (I am not operating at a large scale). I dont believe MongoDB would be suitable for me based on this, but please let me know if you think I am wrong.

The list would still allow a many-to-many relationship. Let demonstrate:

entity A and entity B both have 2 members: A-1, A-2, B-1, and B-2.

we add a “relations” field to entity A, which is a list of IDs from B, describing the list of B’s that A is related to.

A-1 has the relations field as: [B-1, B-2] and A-2 has [B-1, B-2].

As you can see, this is a many-to-many relationship. Each of our entities is tied to multiple entities. So this is many on both sides, hence many to many

Currently, I am storing entities in a JSON array / list. every element in this list corresponds to one instance of that entity.

I could express a many-to-many relationship as just another field in that entity that happens to be a list / array, or I can imitate a SQL join table by creating a separate JSON list to log an instance of that relation.

Are there any benefits to the second approach?

Some scripts or programs assume sudo by default. It’s a stupid thing but also annoying.

Gitea claims to be working on federation too, which puzzles me that forgejo presents it as a differentiator.
