Gotta be an issue with proton, probably blocking ml domains. We don’t block any vpns on this server, or run any spying middlemen like cloudflare.

The irresistable redditor urge to 🤓 abortion and defend legal institutions that criminalize it.

Side point but it’s kinda crazy how the modern usage of paper tiger was coined by Mao an interview with one of the US’s greatest historians, and most US citizens have no idea who she is or have read anything by her. (Anna Louise Strong)

Almost a million dollars, jesus. The US is a truly disgusting country.

Do you have a link to what got removed?

Some things that help me at least:

• Only use bed for sleeping.
• Don’t use screens at least an hour before bed.
• Keep phone out of arms reach when in bed. Ideally in another room (these devices weigh heavy on our psychology, and the further they are from us, the less distracting they are).
• Leave blinds open at night so you wake up with the sun. Try to sync your body / circadian rhythm with your environment if possible.
• Get lots of walks and outside time during the day. If you have a lot of energy, work out more during the day.
• No coffee / intoxicants in the evening.
• Drink lots of water.
• Don’t try to fix your sleep problems at night. Most of your remedies should be getting on the right foot the next day, and making habits of those.

Why are people downvoting this? Are they just now learning US socdems support their empire and imperial troops?

Read the article above. He’s very anti-immigrant, and anti-communist.

A few that I can think of: Rockhill, Smith, Enfu, Boer, Manoel, Foster, Cockshott, Shaikh.

We lost Losurdo pretty recently, and he was IMO one of the best of the last few decades.

5m seems about right. Lemmy’s from scratch builds are ~3.5m on a fast machine, and we have ~60k lines of code, and are using some with large libraries with lots of features enabled.

But you really should only ever have to do a from scratch build either at the beginning, or when you deploy. When developing, your IDE should only ever really run check or clippy, which should take seconds at most.

I’m reminded of a quote from from this talk by Eric X Li on the PRC’s civil service organization department: “Neither George W Bush, nor Barack Obama, would have been able to become even a small county manager in China.”

Any negative speech: especially harsh, slanderous or divisive, that provokes equally charged emotional responses.

One other thing I’d like to add: It’s not just that rage-inducing content is out there, that’s always been there. It’s that it gets rewarded by big tech, by making sure that highly responded content, gets pushed to the top.

Capitalist tech companies have an incentive to platform this content because it increases the on-site time, and their own popularity, to the detriment of their users mental health. It also helps them push pro-capitalist narratives that atomize and isolate people who should be united by a shared humanity and class status.

tbh we’re somewhat guilty of this in lemmy also, with the Active sort allowing new comments to bump posts to the top of feeds.

The only real way to fight it, is to keep an eye out for these toxic / combative threads and posters, and remove them if necessary. Since we don’t capitalist incentives to keep people on site or serve ads, it serves no benefit to keep rage-bait posters around.

Same for Alan Dershowitz, who also spends his time writing books defending both sexual assault (and getting pedos sentences commuted), and Israel.

“This mass-murderer told me that everyone is actually just as bad as him. Why would he lie?”

China is an oligarchy, my man.

Wrong. Here’s some sources:

Is China State Capitalist?

• The backbone of the economy is state ownership and socialist planning. 24 / 25 of the top revenue companies are state-owned and planned. 70% of the top 500 companies are State-owned. 1, 2 The largest bank, construction, electricity, and energy companies in the world, are CPC controlled entities, subject to the 5 year plans laid out by the central committee.
• Workplace democracy in action in the CPC.
• Is modern day china communist? Is it staying true to communist values?
• Didn’t China go Capitalist with Deng Xiaoping? Didn’t it liberalize its economy? Is China’s drastic decrease in poverty a result of the increase in free market capitalist policies?
• Is the CPC committed to communism?
• The Long Game and Its Contradictions. Audiobook
• The myth of Chinese state capitalism. Did Deng really betray Chinese socialism?
• Tsinghua University- Is Socialism with Chinese Characteristics real socialism, or is it state Capitalism?
• Isn’t China revisionist for having a capitalist sector of the economy, and working with capitalists? Why isn’t it fully planned like the USSR was?
• Castro on why both China and Vietnam are socialist countries.
• Roderic Day - China has billionaires.
• What is socialism with Chinese characteristics (SWCC)?
• How is SWCC not revisionist? How is it any different from Gorbachev’s market reforms?, 2
• Domenico Losurdo - is China state capitalist?, 2
• Did Lenin say anything about Market Socialism, or productivism?
• Vijay Prashad - Is China capitalist?
• Why do Chinese billionaires keep ending up in prison? Why are many billionaires and CEOs going missing? China sentences Ex-Chairman of a major bank, guilty of embezzling ~$100M USD, to death in 2019.
• China cracks down on billionaires - Ben Norton interviews Ian Goodrum
• Do capitalists control the communist party? No, pic
• How the State runs business in China.
• 50% of the economy is in the socialist public sector and directly follows the plan (40% if you ignore the agricultural sector). 20 to 30% is inside the state capitalist sector, which is the sector partially or totally owned by domestic capitalists but run by the CPC or by local workers councils. The rest is made up of the small bourgeois ownership like in the NEP.
• China pushing forward Marxist training in colleges, attracts 1M students.
• China tells the US that it has no plans to weaken the role of its State-Owned-Enterprises, one of the US’s main demands in the trade war. “Beijing plans to make the state economy stronger, bigger, and better.”

Just because the US commits countless atrocities, does not mean every other country does so, especially its victims.

Its more hypersonic missiles that have made them obsolete, as of many years ago now. If the US were in an actual war with a country who has them (China, Russia), its entire carrier fleet would be destroyed within a few hours. US military planners even admit this openly.

You can use rust and still use the GPL.

There is no tribe that is celebrating their conquerers, and who isn’t demanding that their land be returned to them.

Thx for reporting btw.
