    Much of historical research was seemingly useless for a very long time until some progress in unrelated fields enabled them to suddenly become very useful. I prefer to be open minded about technology, not tying it to the way its used by the current time and political system we are living in

    I think the technology itself has great potential, though capitalism using it for the worst reasons imaginable and making it as inefficient as physically possible will never show us the true potential of this technology.

    Under different social structures, it could possibly be a pretty great foundation for new kinds of monetary systems


  • A 70 euro KVM Switch that I use to switch all my peripherals between my work laptop and my home desktop at the press of a button. My work has a hybrid office policy, so on the days of the week that I need to pack my laptop or plug it back in, all I need to do is remove or insert three cables from the laptop’s ports only, no need to bend under my desk and move the desktop cable to the laptop. It also means that I can very easily switch between work and personal things when there’s not much to do or I’m waiting for a build etc.



  • Was on vacation to Italy waiting for the train to go to another city, and we met another couple there from Mexico that made some small talk. They told us that they’re going to get married after this trip, then we then talked about our countries and the economic and political struggles of them both, and they gave us a Mexican peso which we had never seen before. Despite it being a pretty small moment compared to all of the amazing things we saw in Italy, this is still one of the fondest memories of that trip




  • really putting the ‘fed’ in ‘piefed’

    It’s also very interesting how someone who seems to really dislike a country they don’t live in having what they claim to be a social credit system, are the ones who actually implement the fucking thing in their own software


  • I don’t think anyone is gonna hack you because of bash being a larger codebase

    If I absolutely had to pick one as insecure, it would be anything other than bash since it has been around for so long, has its code read by so many people, that there’s no way that a major hole exists in it

    Overall though I don’t think security or performance is a good metric for you to pick something as simple as a shell, just pick the one that gives you the best experience and features. Being compatible with bash is a big plus because it’s the industry standard, like zsh for example


  • I used to experiment around with various distros some years past until I got into Arch. Haven’t distro hopped once since, I’ve completely erased Windows from my life and I’m gaming exactly as I would if I was on Windows. I never have trouble finding a package since almost everything exists either in the official repositories or in the AUR, and I get the latest versions with all the new features and fixes. Rarely some things do break because of the rolling releases, but it’s almost always just a matter of a single google search to fix. For me it’s worth it for having all the latest versions of everything.

    My opinion would be different for a server or a work laptop where stability is much more important. For servers I would pick Debian for sure, for work laptop I’d consider Fedora probably





  • Even tagged them, wow

    Your arrogance is beyond words, personally attacking the devs that created and tirelessly maintain the very platform you’re using to write this garbage comment.

    Go use reddit, it will align with your worldview much better since it is run by corporations that sell your data for profit, making use of their god given right to “personal freedom” as defined by the CIA, and don’t allow anything left of Mussolini on their platform.



  • First off, political “extremism” is a very flexible term. For some, it’s extremism to support a system that leaves people dying of hunger and treatable diseases while a tiny class becomes rich beyond belief and at the same time funding wars and bombings all over the globe for profits. For others, extremism is wanting to materially overturn the former, and not just on words or the imaginary marketplace of ideas.

    You can block the political communities if that’s not your thing, but creating a nice capitalist neoliberal bubble that never challenges any world perceptions is not the goal of most instances here, unlike Reddit.

    The sign up process is a small extra difficulty, but it’s also part of the reason why you’re not interacting with bot farms instead of people like you do on any big platform.

    Not before revolution. As long as capitalists are still in charge, renewable energy is still used as a commodity and sold to us proles as expensive as before the transition, and with added cost even for the “transition costs”, I say this from experience where I live.

    But of course, after revolution renewable energy is the only way to go, not only to save the planet and ourselves, but also because it eliminates a massive need of labor and resources that would be required to sustain an oil / mineral powered economy.
