It’s bad

Yeah but it’s not like this is the best literature has to offer, nobody would really lose anything by just not reading a very mid saga.

Did the rest of your books, local library and internet connection burn in a freak accident? Why couldn’t you just read anything else, which would also likely be better?

I mean, the left has communities, but as soon a s they begin organising .worlders call them tankies.

Eh, I don’t know. I’ve worked developing software for the administration and their computer use is just the applications (web or native) they had built to perform their tasks. The OS is very irrelevant to them, some orgs even had shortcuts to these native programs put in their intranet, back in the days of java applets.

Can’t you just make them turn off the computers/phones and do it by hand?

I believe they meant that China will become the dominant power after the US finishes torpedoing itself.

Everyone should get out now because Plex has started to ruin things and you should seek alternatives now, while you have time, and not wait until they finish shitting the bed.

And no, jellyfin won’t do anything like this because they don’t have control over how you use it and don’t force their cloud on you.

Sorry but this is dumb. I am the one who decides if a label applies to me or not. I won’t call myself an anarchist because my beliefs are not described by this word. I will call myself a communist because it describes what I think is true, even if I need to specify (“I’m a communist but…”).

There’s no one telling me what I believe in, and if a label changes meaning over time or my views change and it no longer applies to my thinking I will just stop using it.

It’s the same when you use any other word to describe yourself. “I’m a musician” until I stop playing. “I’m not a painter” until I pick up a brush. “I’m long haired” until I cut my hair.

Because it makes reinstalls really easy. You can just nuke your OS but everything else remains there safely.

It’s because you have control over your browser, but they control their app and all its trackers, ads, etc

It didn’t? StRawbeRy has 2 rs. StRawbeRRy has 3.

Is Wikipedia “Kremlin approved literature”?

The first camps were established in March 1933 immediately after Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. Following the 1934 purge of the SA, the concentration camps were run exclusively by the SS via the Concentration Camps Inspectorate and later the SS Main Economic and Administrative Office. Initially, most prisoners were members of the Communist Party of Germany, but as time went on different groups were arrested, including “habitual criminals”, “asocials”, and Jews.

I’m a commie, so I’m all for social ownership of the means of production, but that’s neither here nor there. The point is, there isn’t a scale of how pure capitalism is: a Keynesian model is as capitalistic as laissez-faire is because the underlying relationships to capital are the same. Communism isn’t at the other end of any scale because it’s an entirely different model, not just more or less regulation.

Some may argue that no country is socialist because they are still transitioning, and that they are still capitalist, but that’s not a scale: they are not socialist (yet, hopefully) because their mode of production is still capitalistic.

Regulated capitalism is still capitalism. There’s no such thing as “pure” or “impure” capitalism, the social relationships to capital are the same. Lassiez-faire capitalism is just a flavour of it.

It’s like ice-cream: you may prefer chocolate ice-cream over vanilla ice-cream, but they are both flavours of ice-cream and you wouldn’t say “yea, that’s not pure ice-cream”. Some people may even dislike ice-cream altogether and prefer cheesecake.

The EU doesn’t do any hybrid model. Social democracy is still capitalism, being less shitty than the US doesn’t make the EU any less capitalist.
