As He died to make men holy
Let us die to make things cheap
I would of course love to see ladybird succeed, but it has seemed problematic from the start in my opinion. Servo seems much more serious.
I also like that Servo is developing an engine, not a browser as such. Seems like a good idea to keep the two separated.
I can imagine he has access to crazy surveillance of them and their mothers.
Bandwagon.FM lets you filter music by license type.
Archive.org is a great resource for music that has entered into the public domain, if you’re looking for some proper classics.
De er i sidestolpen på Lemmy, det er mulig de ikke vises i friendica. Jeg klarer faktisk å bryte både regel 1 og 2 med denne posten.
Oops!
Baklager det - jeg leser for det meste norske nyheter, så gikk til DR for å finne en dansk kilde. Deres overskrift “Ville vise det på verdens største scene: ‘Det gjorde jeg nu’” er fantastisk intetsigende.
Skal være mer forsiktig i fremtiden! :)
I don’t fully understand this shit out of a lack of really caring, but wouldn’t it be fully possible for an “AI agent” to create a crypto wallet on its own, scam some people to get money into it, and then just lose access and have the money pretty much just lost?
And if that happens, where does the money go? Into crypto “stock” in whichever coin it invests in?
What a stupid future we’re building.
I was talking about users, not developers.
I’m under the crazy opinion that developers are free to develop whatever they want, and users are free to use whatever they want. If they are unhappy they can use something else or become developers.
If I develop something you do not want to use I do not restrict your freedom. GNOME developers are not restricting your freedom by creating a product that’s according to my preferences. They are giving us both freedom to choose what we prefer. The fact that GNOME is so different from KDE increases freedom of choice.
I don’t get what is so hard to understand here.
I don’t know of a package manager with a GTK filter.
This I could agree with, but the problem here is a lacking feature in package managers, not the fact that apps that you don’t personally enjoy using exist.
I don’t particularly enjoy using KDE apps, but thankfully the K-centric naming convention make them really easy to avoid.
So apps look the way they are made?
When I use KDE apps in GNOME they also look like KDE apps. Obviously - that’s the way they are made. If I want something else than what someone else created I will use something else, not complain about how they didn’t create it the way I personally prefer.
Oh yes, I forgot about that time they tracked down and kidnapped KDE contributors never to be heard of again, depriving the poor FOSS community from their freedom of choice.
I’m happy I’m not the only one to experience KDE like that. I’ve had far better experiences with XFCE than with KDE, but I keep going back to GNOME because of the user experience. I’m happy people enjoy KDE though, so I don’t generally feel a strong need to trash it online. But my god can the user base be insufferable at times.
As a GNOME user since forever, I find it fascinating how much time KDE users spend thinking about GNOME. They seem so obsessed with customization, yet seem incapable of understanding that people could have preferences different from their own.
I first heard about them through a friend who was a student of his at some point - she was very surprised to learn about his background.
My brother knows Karl Marx
He met him eating mushrooms in the peoples park
He said “what do you think about my manifesto?”
I like your manifesto, put it to the test tho
Brilliant throughout.
The lead singer ended up as a professor of political philosophy at King’s college in London.
Considering the scope of what we’re learning about Epstein and his circles, yes, I am Indeed not happy at all with “just a prince”.
The system still protects its own, I can’t help but feel Andrew is arrested not for raping children as much as for not being well liked and/or powerful enough to have friends in high places to protect him.
It’s gonna take a hell of a lot more than this before I’m even remotely happy.
What I’m bitter about is that this asshole never had any power to begin with, he’s just some non-heir piece of shit royal.
By all means, lock him away, but start doing the same to the men who have actually been powerful in their lives.
He does some good things and some bad things. Don’t fall for simplistic thinking where everything and everyone is either good or evil.
When fighting to tax the rich, Macron is not an ally. When fighting to regulate American big tech he can be an ally, and it would be stupid not to use him as such.
The article touches upon race here and there:
Dan is white. Nicole is Black in a city that is 94 percent white.
In these cases, we found, people charged with growing vegetables in residential communities were more likely to be people of color (usually either Black or a recent immigrant), but not always. In Orlando, Florida, Jason and Jennifer Helvenston, a white couple, plowed up their front yard to grow vegetables. “A budget thing.” The city fined them $500 a day until it was replaced with “approved ground covers.” White defendants usually found it possible to shift vague lawn laws in their favor or overturn fines, but this was rarely the case for non-white homeowners.
And for the white folks out there who are looking for yet another reason to be self-hating:
communities with vegetable bans had 30.4 percent fewer Black, 28.5 percent fewer Asians, 7.8 percent fewer Hispanics, and 12.6 percent more white people than the population of their state. Those communities were also richer, with a 73.5 percent higher median income. This demographic profile supports what geographers call an “ecology of prestige” in which residents of higher-income communities attach greater importance to turf grass.
Gives me a nice flashback to this interaction, which caused me to be banned from !europe@feddit.org for the following (since deleted) comment, which I backed up with reliable sources in the part of the thread that remains online:
insufficient avenues for engagement beyond voting.
Funny what banning protests does to a country.
The reason given was that I “derailed the conversation”, though I’d argue the following discussion was extremely on-topic for a post about how young people in Germany “feel disillusioned with politics” and consider there to be “insufficient avenues for engagement”.
Funny what banning discussion does to an instance, I guess.
Oh well, /rant
I guess what is considered easy is very subjective. I seriously think Marx’ Manifesto of the Communist Party is not a bad place to start. It’s everything Capital is not: short, easy to read, somewhat superficial.
I’d say the historical analysis is at the core of marxism as much as the economic one, and it’s summarized perfectly right from the start:
Make sure to take a second to reflect on this and the Soviet Union and the failure of Marxist-Leninism. It was not the end of history, but another common ruin. Which brings me to the biggest problem of studying socialist theory: The line between theory and propaganda is often blurred. The Manifesto of the Communist Party itself, thought-provoking as it is, is a pamphlet made for wide circulation, and more propaganda than academic work. Marx’ understanding of history revolves around how proletarian revolts such as the Soviet Union go wrong and end up reproducing existing power structures. Yet many of today’s self-proclaimed Marxists are somehow blind to this and end up tricking themselves with all sorts of mind games.
That’s why I think it’s important to start with Marx himself. Understand his view of history and his criticism of the economy, and reflect on what it means for what you see in history since it was written. It still holds, though the theory itself has become weaponized in the very historical and economical dynamics he is describing. If you understand this independently you’re less likely to become a sucker who falls for propaganda.
And of course, Marx wasn’t a god, and he didn’t get it all right. I personally think the main problem is his understanding of history as having an “end” (a teleological account) - Marx believed every class revolt would lead us slightly closer to a classless society, and that eventually we would get there. This builds on Hegel, who had a similar understanding of history rooted in religion rather than communism. I think this is plain wrong - things very well might just get worse, and there is no end of history. But that’s me.
Of course one shouldn’t focus only on Marx, but I feel like he’s important enough that it’s worth taking him seriously. And with all the stupid takes people have on his work, I think it’s a good idea to go straight to the source.
