I read it. It was relevant. Otherwise I would not have posted it. I did not clean it up because I was on mobile and it was legible as is.
I asked several questions and was impressed at the result. I know people do not like LLMs, but they are tools just like a search engine. I am somehow getting Butlerian Jihad vibes.
I could have gotten the same information from Google. Would that still be lazy?
From ChatGPT:
Ending the Bretton Woods system in 1971 had a cascading effect on corporate profits and income distribution. Wealth shifting toward shareholders and executives rather than workers:
1. Deregulation of Money and Credit
Once the dollar was no longer tied to gold, the U.S. government and Federal Reserve had more flexibility in managing the money supply. This led to:
• Higher inflation, which eroded workers’ real wages.
• Easier access to credit, fueling corporate financialization (more focus on stock buybacks, mergers, and financial engineering instead of wage growth).
2. Rise of Shareholder Capitalism
With the shift away from the gold standard, corporate governance changed. Instead of focusing on long-term growth and worker stability, companies prioritized maximizing shareholder value, which became a dominant ideology by the 1980s (reinforced by Milton Friedman’s theories).
• Stock Buybacks & Dividends – Companies increasingly used profits to buy back shares, boosting stock prices and benefiting executives/shareholders.
• Executive Compensation in Stocks – CEO pay shifted from salaries to stock options, aligning their interests with shareholders rather than employees.
3. Decline in Labor’s Bargaining Power
As globalization and automation accelerated, companies could move production abroad, weakening the leverage of American workers. Meanwhile:
• Unions declined, further reducing workers’ ability to demand wage increases.
• Deregulation in industries like finance, airlines, and trucking shifted power away from labor and toward corporate management.
4. Explosion of Financialization
The detachment from gold allowed an unrestricted credit boom, fueling speculative bubbles and making the financial sector more dominant. Instead of reinvesting profits into worker wages or capital expansion, firms:
• Focused on financial activities (derivatives, leveraged buyouts, etc.), which benefited investors rather than workers.
• Moved toward short-term profits, cutting costs via outsourcing and automation.
End Result
With productivity still rising but wages stagnating, the gains went disproportionately to executives and shareholders. This is why, after 1971, you see charts showing a widening gap between worker pay and corporate profits.
The answer to your question is zero yet at this he same time zero is not an answer to your question.
He was a shit human, but he was also a politician. His political message had two parts: 1. Jews are responsible for all our problems 2. We need to conquer more lands.
He said this was the only alternative to handing the country to communists.
The simple xenophobic message appealed to the common people, fear of communism bought the elites in-line.

OpenSSH server has had built-in support for WebAuthn keys since 8.2.
According to Framework support, there are no supported models as of yet.
I have a Framework 13 AMD running Linux Mint. It works great and I love it. Modular IO ports are super nifty.
Here are the downsides as I see them:
I expect 2&3 will come in the future and I can upgrade! The fact that I can upgrade rather than throw it away in the future offsets 1.
Sodium Laureth Sulfate is what makes toothpaste foam and what makes your mouth “feel” clean.
What type of key do you have. Yubikey 5 supports multiple protocols including some you can use with SSH:
SSH would need to implement webauthn to support FIDO.
“Altermagnetic materials, first theorized in 2022, have a structure that sits somewhere in between. Each individual magnetic moment points in the opposite direction as its neighbor, as in an antiferromagnetic material. But each unit is slightly twisted relative to this adjacent magnetic atom, resulting in some ferromagnetic-like properties.
Altermagnets, therefore, combine the best properties of both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials. “The benefit of ferromagnets is that we have an easy way of reading and writing memory using these up or down domains,” study co-author Alfred Dal Din, a doctoral student also at the University of Nottingham, told Live Science. “But because these materials have a net magnetism, that information is also easy to lose by wiping a magnet over it.””

The IRS does not know how much you owe. They can figure it out. This is what an audit is. They assume most people are honest and most people are. They use statistics to decide who to audit.
Do not get me wrong it is a stupid system. But there is no need to exaggerate how stupid it is.
Does the salary take into account inflation?

Secure can also mean more resilient. The infosec C-I-A triangle has three legs. Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability. Immutable distros are more resilient and thus offer better availability in the face of attacks or accidents.
