Worth noting, this is a mostly vibe-coded port. There is a separate no-AI port in the works called SilentEngine, but it is in a much earlier stage right now.

Representative democracy was specifically designed to have oligarchs be in charge of society and it should be abolished in favor of smaller, direct democracies.

I watched a video on sortition a while ago. It's definitely better than the existing system, but it is still ultimately possible to outright rig the process via bribery, rigging the election process directly, etc. and for power-seekers/oligarchs to gain power. It's just much more difficult to do so.

Kids understand what they're taught. No baby is born racist, but instead, their parents teach that "the other" is dangerous/untrustworthy/"less than"/etc.

Without empathy, humans would not have formed societies. Humans being more social than neanderthals is what made humans "win", and why neanderthals no longer exist (not counting inter-species breeding, since there is no modern being that exists that is considered to be a neanderthal). Sociopathy is considered a disorder for a reason, because it is considered to be out of the norm and actively harmful.

Bullies are, very often, if not most of the time, abused at home, or otherwise have a rough home life. That would also fall under the "nurture over nature" category.

Do you know how to run a military?

Does the president know how to run a military? A president (in the US) can legally go to war with any country they'd like for up to 60 days without any congressional approval. Every war the US has entered post-WWII has been disasterous, both for the countries we went to war with, and for the US domestically.

environmental regulations

I'm not saying we should abolish regulatory agencies. We should still have them, and instead of having their leadership be appointed, have them be elected. Also give people the ability to create new regulatory agencies as needed for novel technologies. For example, the use of burning fossil fuels to generate electricity is a relatively new idea. The effects (both positive and negative) of any novel (and old) technology should always be studied, and unbiased, peer reviewed scientific research should always be taken into account when creating such policies.

in charge of healthcare

What does that even mean? Healthcare should be considered a human right. Public institutions, such as universities or publically funded pharma research institutes would still develop new medicines, and doctors will be able to perscribe whatever the patient needs without mafia insurance corporations getting in the way and without private pharma corporations pushing drugs to be perscribed.

I don't disagree with the point about a person in control of, say environmental regulation should be qualified in the subject matter. I wouldn't mind making it a requirement to at the very least have a degree from a university in that subject matter in order to run for the position, so long as higher education is provided to everyone free of charge for anyone who chooses to go down that route and so long as the people who design the cirriculum do not have ulterior motives.

Also, you mentioned requiring ministers actually implement what they promise. How would that be enforced? Would it not be more feasible to just have the ability to vote them out and replace them with someone who would actually do the job they promise, if, that is, the position even needs to exist to begin with and cannot be replaced with a direct, democratic vote.

Please elaborate. I'm more of the view that most humans are born as a blank slate and their upbringing shapes who they are as people.

Counter point: David Lynch was famously very pleasant to work with according to the people who have worked with him, and he got some incredible performances throughout his career.

Isn't self defense already legal?

All representative democracies are flawed by nature since they all allow for an elite class to exist and likewise allow for corruption to exist. I just use the US as an example since I am the most familiar with US politics, but the US spread its ideas about representative democracy to the entire western world.

The most "qualified" person is not always the right person for the job. Some people take qualified to mean experienced, for instance, which is what many neoliberals in the US touted in their campaigns, but they were experienced in maintaining a corrupt system and serving their donors. The Republicans are experienced in also serving their donors while pushing the needle further right.

Say there was ranked choice or some other system that allowed for more than two parties. As we see in EU countries for example, the elite are still allowed to rule there, and corruption still exists. Denmark isn't pushing for Chat Control for fun. Germany isn't supporting Israel for fun.

I don't think that premise is sound. Humans evolved from a central location and then spread out from there. There have been humans from back then who have taught their children to be scared of the other.

Nowadays, we see racism/sexism/religion/etc. as tools used by the elite to divide us so that the masses don't turn against them. It isn't so hard to believe that at the dawn of civilization, similar ideas spread.

Back in the hunter gatherer days, before civilization, it isn't so difficult to believe that humans were equally scared of any stranger who they were not already familiar with, regardless of race.

What you're describing are direct threats of violence against the victim. If the victim responds with violence, that would be considered self defense, which I don't believe is either unpopular or illegal. The legal system just so happens to be flawed, where victims are thrown in prison, but that's a separate issue that needs to be fixed.

Are those children babies or older? Children are taught to fear the other at an extremely young age. I'd like to see a similar study of newborns seeing a newborn of color for the first time.

Oh, cool. I read on the LineageOS wiki that Dolby Vision doesn't work on the shield with LOS installed, so good to hear that it works. The LOS wiki also says that Nvidia's AI upscaling doesn't work, so not sure if that's also the case.

Does it playback Dolby Vision and HDR10+ content?

And to his horror, Luke proceeded to name every train ever made.

The main reason the Steam Deck was popular to begin with was that it was a relatively affordable gaming PC in a handheld form factor. It has been getting less and less affordable as more time has gone on.

Going to be a very tough sell from now on.

Without a defense, the court reportedly concluded that both NordVPN and ProtonVPN actively advertise their ability to bypass geo-restrictions, citing match schedules in their marketing materials. The VPNs are therefore seen as active participants in the piracy chain rather than passive conduits, according to local media reports.

How is bypassing georestrictions piracy?

Also good luck actually banning VPNs. China tried that and many people there still use them.

Fuck copyright law in general. It has done damage to humanity as a whole while making a wealthy few even richer.

Excuse me, he asked for healthcare.
