As a thought experiment. Was the original thing invented or discovered?
Many things are re-invented/rediscovered from first principles. In maths, some people prefer to think maths are created, and some prefer to think in terms of discovering/uncovering sth that was already there.

> 6. Locating Your Misplaced Phone
I've had an issue many times, in which my phone (possibly to save battery?) is not KDE connected when I need it; usually after not touching it for several hours...
So I recommend disabling energy saving feature for the KDE connect app. Nonetheless, it's strange, I blame Android for optimizing this functionality into uselessness (for battery's sake probably, but I really dislike this new trend of "uncofigurable" devices).
I'd love KDE to implement a server dependent version with both a subscription and a self-hosted version. If I understand push notifications properly they could be used to keep it sleeping until it's "notification time", connect and do it's thing. Since there's always a push connection active with your phone it wouldn't increase battery consumption
In advance of what? The first three words on this article's page, beyond the top banner, are "product", "announcements", and "Introducing". What other category of article could you more reasonably expect to encounter after reading those three words?
depending on what you mean by Needs, i actually disagree. For example we could all be a lot richer with automation ... it seems the price of goods typically plummet once they're automated and saturated. Eg: food, iirc food production uses like 95% less people than in the past and is cheaper than it's ever been (practically free, and the very poor can get it for free at foodbanks etc).
I do think if we automate the production of lots of things the price will eventually drop as economics says it will. The hard part is the things we cannot automate but also need.
the real difficulties in these arguments come from defining (or trying to) what we mean by "this society", in part because society has many distinct (but intertwined) components
in regards to food, and those things we need but cannot automate, it's not so simple.
because of how capitalism works at dropping costs, in many cases what we actually get is lesser quality things that we absolutely need (like food).
When this gets really really nasty is when applied to education. made cheaper because everybody needs one, but also made shittier, thereby creating people who cannot refuse certain propositions and choices.
shitty education (shitty food) directly contributing to the continued 'availability' of poor people who cannot refuse shitty deals. in this light it could almost be concluded that this system is self-sustaining? ugh.
in very many cases, old things get new names so that more people can share in the claim that they invented what has been in fact merely re-invented
