HealthyPi Move is open source (including hardware) and doesn’t send data anywhere (only locally to the app being developed). It’s available for pre-order at this time.

Oooo, crossfade, nice. Not many music players have/support this, and it’s an essential feature for me.

I’ve been wanting to get around to organizing my music and setup mpd, and this seems like a great way to practice. I’m still in a weird phase of using command-line tools and a window manager, but still relying on GUI applications like Dolphin (file manager).

That’s fair

Life expectancy has dramatically improved from feudalism

To be fair, isn’t the reason life expectancy improved is largely attributed to China uplifting over 800 million people out of poverty?

While yes, the overthrow of feudalism, which prevented scientific progress as it had threatened the ruling class’s power, led to medical advancements, better food production and access, etc., capitalism negated a lot of improvements toward life expectancy because of deadly working conditions, genocide, wars, colonialism, etc.

I do agree with your point that capitalism is often a necessity to eventually enable a socialist revolution to be possible once it faces crises from its contradictions and did contribute, at least indirectly, to increased life expectancy, Russia/USSR and China, as mentioned above, are examples of nations that were able to achieve socialism earlier, and their impact towards humanity cannot be understated.
