A comrade of the East, I come with gifts and a feast! A toast to the end of capitalism.
Anyways, yeah, I’m Caj. Just call me Caj, really. I’m that infuriating ‘leftist’ who can’t define herself of who she even is, much less what brand of anarchism/marxism I follow. I have read from both, though.
This doesn’t mean I don’t have positions, but I tend to err on the past, as I have less knowledge of it than I used to. Anyway here’s Marx:
“Workers of the world, unite!” and “Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.”
— Karl Marx, Communist Manifesto y Theses on Feuerbach, 1848 y 1845, respectively.


another one bites the dust

when I read this while going through the thread it made me visibly cringe for a second.
Communist revolutionary == jewish extermination camps enjoyer???
what the truck does that mean? He’s apparently ‘a violent ideological communist’ but has a tattoo about nazi things?? Is this horseshoe theory again…???


Imagine disobeying orders, not to save civilian’s lives, no no, but to make civilian’s lives worse… damn.


I’ve always found it weird that Peron was the main guy for the Argentine Left, they need a new… face and ideology.


oh shi I didn’t know that, it JUST happened like… 3 days ago, I’m a Filipino, I should know about this, damn.


Holy hell I’ve never seen the eye wall of hurricanes before…


South America is… interesting in that there’s Milei, and Noboa on one side, but there’s also Petro and Maduro in the other, and… ugh, I’m just hoping for a new ‘pink’ (or red even) tide, it seems the right is ramping up again.


If we talk about who’s the ‘lesser evil’ here, is it the RSF or SAF? For me, I’d say it’s the SAF, but then again, I don’t know much so that’s why I’m asking…


oh gosh don’t let let me picture Win12 like that, ugh


I researched the Anduril and NixOS thing and oh my gosh, what a mess.

this reddit thread is an… interesting look into the community.


Heard he was a great programmer ‘lost in the sauce’ as the kids call it.


With what, 0.5% userbase, lol?
(Joking aside, I think BSD (non Mac-OS!*) and it’s users are fine, it’s just the license is what got me to keep using Linux, and… it’s space is not as developed as something like Linux (compare like FreeBSD/OpenBSD to like, Bazzite, Fedora, etc. in terms of software availability…)


That is true, I’d just want to add that for me, even though Linux has many flaws lurking underneath, the broader issues stem from Capitalism, again as you noted.
It’s because the FLOSS movement and Linux for that matter is weird in that regard. Most popular FOSS software has funding from a lot of orgs and other donors, and only really work because of ‘donations’. Some say (right-adjacent libs) that this is because it is inherently unprofitable and hobbyist in nature (FOSS) and that either find a way to make money off of it or risk burnout. But us, we say, abolish capitalism or at least make sure that we can coherently organize, plan and subsidize FLOSS for everyone, so that developers can focus on features and if/how to implement them.
I do think that even in a state subsidized like computer running Linux or whatever there should still be alternatives and stuff, like… yes, flatpaks or the equivalent should be made better and standard in socialism, but having appimages (or snaps, but they’re… weird) around wouldn’t be bad either, only really needs people to be interested in the format itself.
I wonder how a Linux kernel fork of like a theoretical socialist state would work…? Hmm. (I say fork because it’s… complicated in how the Linux Foundation and Linus Torvalds will handle a theoretical socialist state using Linux, though the PRC has Deepin, right?)


(Off topic but related)
Honestly I’ve learnt this naturally because of my AuDHD, and that when I’m actually trying (which is very rare) I know how my body works and can plan (like the 90 minutes work, short break, repeat) somewhat, it’s just… maybe I’m a little too loose on what I do in some aspects? Maybe I just haven’t had time to ‘test’ it? I still am at school nowadays, and while before, I struggled to manage time due to… personal stressful reasons and so got agonizingly good at ‘keeping up’ with school work. Once I had to actually make my own plan and actually plan long-term, which is kinda now, the thought of ‘regaining time lost’ (in countless what I’d call ‘emergency burnout cramming measures’) is tempting and I’ve been doing it… But I’ve tried to also revert to a schedule I’d feel more productive in, and its been conflicting and… uh… yeah a struggle, and this is why 4 hrs should be default so I don’t have to think about it lol
TLDR: 4 hr workday cool, but I struggle in following it but hope to continue in it.


True, though, I wonder what it’d feel to have like… different restaurants with different ‘specialization’? Like, for example, there’s the chicken focused one, the vegan focused one, or a general one and what that’d look like in branding and stuff…?


Everytime I hear about Argentina I get more and more depressed


Manifesting the collapse of the duopoly party system 🙏


Argentina is so cooked, only way to save it would be a complete overthrow of the peronists or whatever


It’s so uncommon nowadays to find someone reading in public (since public libraries here barely exist) that wheenever I see someone I go: ‘WOAH’ even if it’s like… Dr. Faust or something so I never got the whole reading in public makes you cool or whatever, I just think more people should be doing so and it’s amusing to see a rare one.
