@gemlog Not for me. What's it giving you? And where doe sit point? :/

@gemlog No no, I gotcha. I know how that works. XD

@gemlog Ah, gotcha. XD

@inso Well, not everything. Wages, and lots of consumer stuff doesn't seem to go up in pace with these costs. :/

@gemlog Whats that from? It sounds interesting. :/

@noelle The most annoying part, is that I'm looking at the rest of the code written by my freind, and he seems to have solved basically the same problem with posts without even breaking a sweat. It's very depressing. ;/

Apparently I am incapable of understanding and solving basic problems. Feels good. :X

@starbreaker *Takes deep breath* "That's why I'm working on Agora! So we can-"

(Uh oh. I'm getting to the point of self-parody. This isn't good. But no, seriously, I could use some help? :X)

@thamesynne Right!? :0

I should note, thats "Way more expensive and lower quality, and the people involved are getting paid half as much, for no apparent reason, even after you adjust for inflation"

:/

This is a very interesting article. The short version: Basically everything is getting massively more expensive, for - apparently - no reason, even after you adjust for inflation. :/

@shellkr On another note, have you heard of cost disease? Basically everything is way more expensive now for no reason, even after you adjust for inflation. :/

@varx Honestly I'm leaning more towards my current method, which avoids all that, but doesn;t adjust for differently sized screens or rendering well. :/

@varx I tired display none, that causes the code to go into a loop cause it can;t tell the difference between an element thats been added, removed for conflicting, and one that hasn't been added yet. I guess I could make it remember that detail? :/

@varx Hmm, that sounds interesting. How do I do that? And will it still move them as appropriate for the drag? :/

@shellkr Again, assuming it does all that. :/

@shellkr But how does UBI prevent artificial scarcity? It gives people money, but it does nothing from preventing the creation of artificial scarcity to restrict the power of that money. :/

@jamey @varx Alright, I think I have something workable. Now I just need to figure out how to make it change for smaller screens. :/

@shellkr Noooooo. That I don't see happening. I think it'll go a lot like it has with bitcoin, actually. In theory anyone can mine bitcoin. In practice, its massively centralized with massive bitcoin mines. Automation is going to go much the same, I think. :/

@varx @jamey Hmm. Maybe I'm going about this the wrong way. Maybe I should ust fiddle with my little algorithm for showing things at all, and work from there. :/
