The entire EU supply chain is subsidized.

Full disclosure, I’m not a metalhead by any means, and Metallica isn’t always considered pure metal, but this one hits just right.

The Silicon Valley thieves are just copying and stealing from over a century of US industrial strategy.

To be fair, it’s not hard to beat expectations when the expectation of the western press is “imminent collapse!!!”

knfrmity ,

“Forge-yo” difficult to say?

knfrmity ,

Forgejo is foss fork. Gitea, while being free and open source as well for the time being, is run by a for-profit corporation now.

Varoufakis is just one of many people who have come up with fancy new terms for capitalism and imperialism. It’s not to say that he doesn’t have an important perspective on some things, but coming up with new terms for things defined over a century ago only serves to distract.

This reminds me in broad strokes of the thesis of Sakai’s Settlers, which is roughly contemporary. In the introduction Sakai similarly calls out social sciences like “African American studies” and “Asian American studies” for what they are, the societal position and historiography of these peoples from the perspective of the white settler. Settlers thus aims to discuss the white settler in similar terms, ie. as the subject of such “science.”

Hi, just recently it’s foss had an article about homelabs. Of course I digged in, since there is a small nuc working tirelessly in the corner of my routers closet. So far it just crawls some web pages for me and sends emails accordingly to my filters. So I hoped to find new exciting stuff to let it crunch through. The articles...

It’s kinda standard but Pihole is how I got into the general realm of home labbing.

If we want to exclude athletes from international competition just because the ruling class in the country they happen to have been born in undertakes military action, that’s fine. We just have to be consistent about it. I’d like to see athletes from the US, Isreal, UK, France, Canada, and many other countries treated the same way the west is currently treating Russian and Belorussian athletes.

knfrmity ,

The trend to shutting out China from the west started with Obama’s “Pivot to Asia.” At this point the only point of contention between US ruling elites is whether China or Russia is the primary threat.

Cixin Liu. Not only is the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy (Three Body Problem) epic, his short stories are really fun reads.

Political means more than just parties and institutions of government. Society and economy is inherently political. Who owns what is produced and the tools used to produce it is inherently political. Therefore software development, just like any other type or work or other economic interaction, is political.

knfrmity ,

The whole Russiagate thing is just ghost stories democrats tell themselves, and even if it were true it doesn’t justify torturing anyone or threatening the very concept of journalism.

knfrmity ,

That is reasonable from the perspective of the US ruling class though. They are fascist. Anti-fascism presents a threat to their interests.

The DDR truly was something special. Didn’t they even start before the 1980s with LGBT rights and medical care?

Capitalism cannot compete with socialism. But of course these Wall Street ghouls will never admit that this is yet another admission that their system only enriches them at the expense of everyone else and the planet.

knfrmity ,

Socialist enterprise and markets can be competitive, in fact more competitive than a capitalist system. China is actually super innovative now, having caught up technologically with the west in part by leveraging the same import substitution policies and general disregard for other countries’ capitalist’s “intellectual property” which drove industrialization in the western nations.

The two big differences between socialism with Chinese characteristics and western neoliberalism are the fact that SWCC places at its core collective ownership of the means of production and state investment in developing said means of production. Whereas the west privatizes everything and only invests state funds in the further enrichment of the few who own said privatized means of production.

It’s a call for freedom from oppression and genocide, specifically in the Palestinian context. “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” Germany has decreed it hate speech.

knfrmity ,

Wait, what. I thought Biden was riding that “kill all Palestinians” train all the way to his grave. Or is the feud about Netanyahu not being aggressive and murderous enough to wrap this up before October?

I don’t usually go for cocktails, but when I do I really like a peaty whiskey sour, or a boilermaker with Guinness or a session IPA and again a peaty whiskey.

I’d bet a fully functioning and safe Boeing passenger plane (rare collectors item) that this was a hit.

I usually feel the worst first thing in the morning. It gets better over the day. Try to sleep and repeat for a few days.

Admits error or admits lying on purpose?

I like btop. It’s pretty. I just use it for checking resource usage, I rarely have the need to kill a process or anything else one may do with a system monitor.

There will just be an exemption for supply chains with US elements.

The switch to Forgejo is super easy, if you don’t mind everything being called “Gitea” you can just switch out the Docker image and carry on.

I just switched recently, maybe around version 1.19.

Forgejo is also working on federation which will give the system an advantage moving forwards. They’re also sticking with Gitea as an upstream source so reasonable changes Gitea makes should make their way to Forgejo pretty quickly.

Religion may be used as a cover, but Israel is just doing the whole exterminate the natives thing the US had all wrapped up by the beginning of the 20th century.

Israeli director receives death threats after officials call Berlin film festival ‘antisemitic’ (www.theguardian.com)

An Israeli film-maker who won one of the top prizes at the Berlin film festival has said German officials’ description of the awards ceremony as “antisemitic” has led to death threats and the physical intimidation of family members, causing him to hold off plans to return to Israel....

knfrmity ,

Germany is doing this all very consciously, while knowing clearly what the outcome is.

In fact Germany claims one of its official reasons for existence is the defence of the Israeli state and its supposed right to exist. It’s considered anti-semitic and anti-German to criticize this position or to even express sympathy for the colonized peoples of Palestine. Allegiance to this official position may be required for naturalized citizens moving forward.

Meanwhile actual anti-semitism (violence against Jews, vandalization of Jewish property and symbols) goes on uncommented.

  • They’re all bad options.

This guy:

  • It’s the consumers fault that they picked the bad option and that all the options are bad.

China is the only country which currently has both the means and motivation to do something about that. In fact, they are doing something about it.

Another straw on the back of the collapsing western financial and monetary system. We’ll be glad to see it die.

Countries are already moving towards bilateral currency swap agreements where possible, and some regional blocs are proposing multi-currency baskets or a non-aligned unit of account for their settling of accounts. We will see this trend accelerate as more and more countries realize that they are now free to make these agreements with the US no longer able to convincingly enforce its Bretton Woods dollar hegemony across the world.

There are also discussions occurring around a sort of Keyensian Bancor for the 21st century, something that BRICS is positioning itself to be able to facilitate, realistically maybe beginning sometime in the 2030s.

There are likely more options being discussed, yet more theorized, and maybe some new ones will be born out of the experience and knowledge gathered in the trial phases of various systems. What I do know is there will not be one single currency taking the place of the US dollar as global reserve currency. Not only is it unsustainable, it’s the opposite of conducive to a peaceful and prosperous humanity.
