Crime rates maybe go down because you're going hyperbolic with the state monopoly on violence but also that kind of authoritarian regime often has control over the data. When you don't care for process you generally don't care for integrity.

    Those are just the games they play when they have wealth beyond an imagination of that number being consequential. They don't lose enough to change their status or power. Even when they spend it they just turn it into debt. The bank is happy at 3-5% interest and if you make 7-10% on that borrowed money then blowing the difference doesn't impact you at all.

    Rojava/DNAS has some good ideas.

    I think there will be a sudden abundance when food waste is distributed instead of landfilled, housing is rent free and not locked away as an investment.

    Most of the systems that make society function are already not profit motivated so most will continue to function in transition. We see this happen every natural disaster, the workers of a critical facility sticking through because their work is meaningful.

    Won't be totally comfortable but i disagree with the opinion it will be a death sentence for many.

    If it's windows it's telemetry or MS Office, try watching network usage and blocking MS processes, they don't need the constant connection anyway and your PC will run faster. If it's Linux you might want to check on that and fix it (real shit).

    I've been struggling with faces for quite a while but I think I'm getting there!

    Finally got a graphics tablet after drawing for a year with pencil and it's a world of difference! Undo and layers is like enabling god-mode. It's also nice that the pen doesn't follow previous strokes like on paper.

    Braids have been a challenge, especially with perspective. Probably another piece or two before get them really figured out 😅
