I was raised fascist and bought into it. But the inherent unfairness of capitalism can’t be hidden. My first thought was that the people who said “capitalism is the only way” weren’t wrong but just outdated, that even if capitalism had been a go of system it was obsolete. This cracked open the door to Marxism which lead to a whole transformation over time.

I share this because I think it provides us some hope: even if the fascists won their ideas would only last so long before their own children became anarchists.

I don’t know why people think you need to see that shit to understand the police needs abolished.

Your boss is an asshole for telling you that putting something that’s going in the bin into your mouth instead. Even if it’s a policy, he’s choosing to enforce it and doesn’t need to.

Don’t snitch on your coworkers and tell your boss your coworkers are doing something as a way of getting out of trouble for something.

Not that I’ve encountered. It used to be pretty janky but these days runs as well as on Windows.

Yes please.

Is there really a ton of overlap between people privacy-conscious enough to install graphene on their phone and people who care so little that their car has an app?

FL studio runs well in wine. VSTs are hit-or-miss whether they work but you’ll be fine with it on wine it runs great.

This is… All wrong?

Sure, if someone manages to “crack” a cryptographic system, they may be able to manipulate results, but like…that’s really unlikely. And even when it does happen, a lot of times there are a lot of constraints on cracks of cryptographic systems that mean that the system still offers a lot of protection even if it should be revised (e.g. a crack may mean it only takes 5 years to crack something that we thought would take til the end of the universe to crack or something like that)

Paper is also manipulable? Like you can just forge someone’s signature or have a different peice of paper and say it was theirs even if they voted for someone else really. Vote counters are fallible, what if someone casts two paper ballots counted by two different people? There are all kinds of ways paper ballots can be defrauded.

But vote fraud needs done at scale and really only works when the state is absolutely flailing in it’s ability to maintain order.

A much simpler solution with many other benefits is to simply stricture society so that government positions are positions of service, not power…which is what all democracies claim to strive for in the first place, however disingenuously it is made when it’s empires and settler colonies. But that is the key: one doesn’t even need to be voted in if there is only service and not power in the role. They can just…sign up and will be thanked for helping society run.

Edit: also lmao at the idea of vibe coded cryptographic voting.

also the first half of Hancock

second half is weird though

I don’t know if I wholly agree. I think there’s something interesting about the idea of using a (standardized, open-source) cryptographic system to prove that your vote was counted without revealing who you voted for.

But that would have to take place in a political system where people were acting in good faith, which is not what America has.

Name one period in history when the American state wasn’t going about doing the most heinous shit.

The USA is at it’s core a settler colony, always has been. There’s a sickness at the heart of someone who lives on stolen land. You see it in America, in Israel, south Africa, and countless other examples across history. Any time you have people who can justify coming in and stealing another people’s home and call it their own home you get this tension between people with half a conscience who try to limit the worst effects of their government and people who don’t give a single fuck and want nothing but comfort at the expense of others’ suffering at the hands of the state.

Understood, thanks o7

Wow, thank you very much for your service in creating that.

I don’t think this particular thing would need a login feature, since there’s a known genuine source we can check their work against. Like you said, it’s hash based, so the first time someone posts a video, you just download that from YouTube official and check the hash, no?

This seems like a really great idea. In theory, it’s just a simple key value store with the key being the YouTube tag and the value being a magnet link. I see a problem though. When a user submits a new association between a Magnet Link and a YouTube tag, what verifies that that’s actually the appropriate file? It seems almost like the server would have to download the video itself, which could pose a really unreasonable load on it. Especially compared to the very simple task it initially set out to do. But without that verification, it seems very prone to abuse (e.g. someone submits every tag and says they’re all the rickroll video)

It definitely seems worth doing though.

Where the fuck do you get off suggesting this is good news? Go to hell

Because leadership isn’t leadership, it’s a boss. It’s someone who controls you. It’s someone who controls your money. If they control the money, they get to take more of it. Doing the work of organizing other people is valuable work, but no more valuable than the work that those people are doing. It’s not about value, it’s about power.

Get bent, loser

All chatbots are Nazis even if they don’t come out and say “I’m mechahitler”. They exist to narrow and lossy-compress the scope of accepted information to the express purpose of excluding heterodox ideas and history.

I feel like in addition to what was said, something or someone which is “hauling ass” seems to tend to be on the larger side categorically? A person who carries a lot of momentum when running (not just cuz they’re fat but could also be with a big pack on) or a larger or louder vehicle. It feels like it comes with an implied “caution!” And not necessarily just because they’re not being cautious as others have said.
