you got this

I remember someone shared some article from the one of the rationalist circles which compared the lives of 1000 insects vs 1 human being

would killing 1000 or 1 million insects be equivalent to murder? the article in typical fashion tried to model this ratio numerically

maybe it would be reborn as a bee in its next life :/

is it lacking in compassion to kill mosquitoes or is it self defense?

our anthropocentric form of ethics prioritizes human lives, natural self preservation

but is there any other basis of that other than self life-will

interesting to see what websites break without javascript lol

it also supports gopher, gemini, manpage protocols…

it also keeps to its roots by allowing you to use a user stylesheet and choose to not use the external css stylesheets from the webpage

and plugins can be customized using C/bash/css

in the real world we do not even have access to granular pricing oracles for individual consumers (who may be difficult to track due to paying cash, physical constraints such as traffic, etc) vs online e-commerce which provides real-time valuation

it seems to present as a local market inefficiency constrained by physical reality or perhaps physical stores in price-setting mechanisms must profit margin which maximizes over the *average consumer* but eschews more "efficient" (for the seller) pricing

physical stores are constrained in how often they can change prices and the prices are uniform for all in-store patrons

but local valuation may be higher (willing to pay more) for a customer who eg has to travel a longer time

ofc this may all be anti consumer but is interesting

however online ecommerce often *does* present individualized prices and "discounts" based on user heuristics, buying habits, etc

also use of dark patterns such as countdown timers for discounts etc which impose urgency thus raising the customer's likelihood of buying
