Why bother lobbying people when you can just insert yourself directly into government? Market efficiency baby

q-white interesting

That’s not even necessary. She hasn’t voted in over half of the votes of 2023

The cia just randomly deciding where to drone strike. Way too accurate

The brain drain from non-Western nations is tragically real. Intelligent people will see more rewards in capitalist nations and relocate there to help themselves and their families. If capitalism didn’t produce such big inequality people would have less incentive to move there. Ideally we’d have intelligent people spread through the world and throughout many industries, but some jobs are rewarded better than others

I talked to a liberal friend of mine who defended planned obsolescence saying “if things last forever, people won’t have to buy new things, and innovation won’t happen without new consumers”

Like why should I be replacing everything I own every few years? That’s insane

I registered on genzedong.xyz, I tried a different app (Syphon) and that seemed to work. Not sure what’s going on with element

I was able to make an account on the website but I can’t login on the iOS element app. I get an error saying “Cannot find a server at this URL, please check it is correct.”

They also banned existing trans people from adopting. Tragically reactionary

Is the actual anime like a good storyline? And like based politics?

Being more environmentally friendly and cheaper? Where is he pulling that from?

Inventing a new technology from more or less scratch will be way more expensive. And I feel like they’d be comparable environmentally if they are both electric

Ok I did more research and it seems their views on sexual identities are more ingrained and backwards than I’d like. But I’d still say better than many organizations that are reactionary in identities and economy

I was speaking generally. Rainbow capitalism is still capitalism. I’m saying I’d prefer generic communism over rainbow capitalism

I was thinking population, and therefore users of the OS. I feel like a lot of western companies are already bending over to tap into the Chinese markets, so if they had to support Linux to do that for software, maybe they would.

They’re not an organisation with the goal of spreading TERF ideas. They’re comrades with some regressive stances on sexuality.

I’d take a thousand comrades who don’t have perfect views on inclusion, over some Trans CEO having a diversity team in their conglomerate. Granted I’m biased as someone who is not historically opressed, but I think we should focus on material gains for people hurting instead of dividing ourselves unnecessarily.

Yes! Having the worlds largest country run on Linux would do wonders for its adoption. If all the western business partners just stopped accepting windows files and started distributing Linux packages, it would accelerate adoption elsewhere.

And draw the line there? Or what about instances that federate with instances federated with meta? I think defederating meta is more than enough

Only two layers of sanitizers? Gosh might as well just put your social security number out there

I went to Vail recently, and I had to take a shuttle from Denver. I was shocked when I got up there and there was all sorts of tracks from old mining operations. Why wouldn’t they repurpose those for new trains? The tracks are already there that’s half the battle

They mention wanting a new networking stack, I didn’t see a comment section there; but I’d recommend tailscale (or headscale for self hosting). It’s a wire guard based mesh network, but has worked very well for me
