Notice these same people don’t come out of the woodwork upon the mere utterance of “El Salvador” or “Bukele” like they do with “Venezuela” and “Maduro” even as Trump is deporting legal citizens to CECOT.

The words “dictatorship” and “authoritarianism” are clue words for followers of western publications to turn off their brains. They want to sort countries, parties, and leaders into neat little “good guys” and “bad guys” bins. These words allow them to do that with minimal effort, circumventing the need to understand the societies involved. Questioning that framing takes research effort and “sympathizing with authoritarians” so they never do it.

Literally one of the few problems that “AI” is actually really useful for solving.

Turns out that when their little marketing gimmick comes at odds with implanting a rootkit on your machine, they choose the latter. The whole hype around “AI” is excitement about subverting your agency in favor of their own. Kernel level spyware directly injects their own agency without the expense of training and running cheat detection models.

All the useful applications that can really benefit people have been neglected in favor of LLMs that can more easily serve as data mining SaaS platforms.

They just buy the data en masse from data brokers. All of the process is civil rights theater.

I have seen this exact list posted under the title “things that don’t require talent” so it was probably a typo that got overlooked.

Under feudalism: Left is about abolishing feudalism and the monarchy. Right is about preserving them.

Under capitalism: Left is about abolishing capitalism and the bourgeoisie. Right is about preserving them.

The state is the mechanism through which one class exerts its dominance over the others.

Bourgeois states are the enforcement arm of capital. When it offers improved conditions, it is merely a carrot to prevent you from taking actions that may jeopardize its power.

In a similar vein, proletarian controlled states can do the same, but the concessions go towards capital and the day-to-day ruling is on behalf of the workers.

If we want concessions that cannot be revoked, we must overthrow the bourgeois state and replace with a workers state. We cannot reform our way into a society where capital does not have near complete power.

Stupid masturbatory fantasy exactly like you’d expect by the morons with those resumes. Equal parts delusional and racist.

You are correct, but you failed to understand the comment you are replying to.

Linux. The mobile ecosystem will have to mature fast though.

Never tried SourceHut, but it definitely seems lightweight from browsing repos hosted on a SourceHut instance. UI is different from other code forges to say the least.

There dies the last remaining reason to use Android.

if you’ve ever sent a nude, they probably can.

Pacman has the worst CLI flags I’ve ever seen.

Lots of useful stuff here. Taking all of it.

Does nh use fast-nix-build (or whatever the fancy nix builder CLI is called) to build your system?

PeerTube is what he should have said.

I think this is mostly a danger to the people within your vehicle

Codeberg (and Forgejo in general) is the nicest code forge I have ever used.

GitLab has horrible UI/UX. Is slow as hell and so heavy that self-hosting is a strain on compute resources. The layout of the sidebar makes finding what you care about slow.

Forgejo is slick as hell, very light on resources, and does virtually everything GitLab or GitHub does. Looks pretty much identical to GitHub with a clean coat of paint, but the UI runs so much faster in the browser.

The only downside to Codeberg and Forgejo is having to roll your own CI actions.

Forgejo makes migrating projects such a breeze too. You can transfer everything you have on GitHub in under 10 minutes. Forgejo is also working on implementing the ForgeFed spec, which will enable federated projects where people on other instances can create issues and otherwise interact with your project.

Seriously try out Forgejo with a couple projects, there is nothing you will miss about GitHub.

This is a subconscious thing, not an explicit belief.

The pressure to compete with the Soviet Union on improving the quality of life vanished.
