GDQ rocks. I love watching all the vods afterwards, never watched along live. Just a good way to remove myself from Twitter while still entertaining myself with le fun screen

The latest internet spiritualism fads seem to be so invested in a no-rules type of spirituality that is ultimately very solipsistic. I think it’s a result of our late capitalist isolation - some people want to push back against it but others fully embrace it. The idea that you can create a whole different reality based solely on your OWN decisions where other people are essentially just objects in your new reality while you maintain subjectivity is very solipsistic. 21st century cults are reflective of our new stay-at-home reality - why go to the compound with the rest of your Brothers and Sisters? Stay at home, microdose mushrooms and colloidal silver, and have your cult delivered to you over the Internet!

Why are they trying to force a move now? Probably concerned about a long delayed conflict draining their personell and materiel so they want to force Hezbollah into the conflict early while they have the capacity to deal with them?

I don’t know what kind of calculus exists to actually prove this or that. I’m skeptical since the reactionaries will invent their own justification absent an actual living Romanov anyway. But all I wanted to state is that this act, unsanctioned by the Bolsheviks themselves, doesn’t delegitimize the revolution

Although the massacre of the Romanovs was a moral failing, it does not delegitimize the right for the workers, peasants, and soldiers who suffered under the feudal class dictatorship that saw them as expendable, to rise up for their freedom from such a system and towards their own self-government. Denying this is like condemning the end of slavery in North America because of slave revolts.

Read Red Star over China, great book if you haven’t already. Until the communist purge of the late 20s, Mao was a member of the KMT along with many other Communists (who were dual members of the party and the KMT)

Nvidia is THE leading firm in the GPU space and it’s not even close. It would be like the US govt nationalizing Pfizer + GSK + J&J at the same time

Zoning changed in Minneapolis and there hasn’t been a boom of new construction AFAIK. It’s a combination of factors but I think the current situation is maximally beneficial to the capitalist rent seekers so working backwards from that assumption maybe we can’t intuit some other causes. Maybe intra class conflict? We’ll give it another half decade and see what the housing situation is in places that have updated zoning laws before we can rule that out, I guess

Embedded Linux is such a huge part of embedded software in every industry. I’ve done a bit with build root but mostly Yocto. There is just no replacement for the Linux kernel. If I need to know how the kernel actually handles a platform driver, I can just look up the relevant source. This is just impossible with Windows (IoT or otherwise)

Sure, maybe that’s what some people in the west believe racism means, but they have the incorrect impression. It’s not commandist to correct errors in the thinking of the people.

Heroic, I hope they break through. Good luck to them

Center mass, people!

They cannot do it any other way. The vertical integration, the monopolization, the ridiculous amount of advertisement, it’s all a race towards a shrinking profit. Carve out a smaller niche for advertising with targeted ads (just run your ads for the people who will actually buy your product!) but all you’re doing is saturating an almost critically saturated market of advertisers. As the margins continue to shrink, my guess is you’ll see a very shitty “free” tier and some very expensive memberships. The “enshittification” continues

Considerable fascist energy radiates from this article

Man who’s living in a strip of land he cannot legally leave, unable to drink water and running his electronics off a backup generator because Israel has turned off all the water gas and electricity, breathing concrete dust and gunpowder: “I feel as if we are living in a ghetto and are going to be exterminated”

BBC: “Sorry, only white people can say those things. Do you condemn Hamas?”

Dump a can of rinsed chickpeas onto a plate, add salt, garlic powder, and paprika, and microwave for ~5 minutes. In the meantime, skin and dice a big cucumber and dice a Roma tomato and an onion and add to a salad bowl. Then add some chopped kalamata olives to your own taste. Add a half of a lemons worth of lemon juice and ~4 tablespoons of olive oil to a container and stir to combine with a pinch of salt and fresh cracked pepper. Combine everything in the salad bowl. I eat this with rice I cook with a bit of turmeric, salt, and two cloves of garlic. It’s pretty tasty, not a lot of protein but you can add more chickpeas to the ratio to dial that in. And it’s vegan
