Prunebutt,

That table doesn’t contain any info on FOSS compatibility.

Prunebutt,

Really? I’ve only managed to find a way to hack kobo readers.

Prunebutt,

The only one I know is Inkbox OS inkbox.ddns.net

Prunebutt,

The poverty rate stuff is pure bs. The world bank just lowered the stated official poverty line without actually improving living conditions.

Prunebutt,

… So it’s a lefty/progressive space and you don’t like it, so you claim that the platform is derangedor some shit.

What do you think would happen on a platform where most people are just fed up with late-stage capitalist enshittification?

Prunebutt,

Dude, you’re in a meme community. Just don’t come here if it’s too leftie for you.

Prunebutt,

I never encountered any character assassination attempts. At least not on the memes community (where you commented, after all).

As I said: people being fed up with late stage capitalism is a valid reason for class conscious comedy.

Prunebutt,

Nope

Prunebutt,

They don’t need to be. But some of them inevitably will be. 🙄

Prunebutt,

That’s right. Kings were famous for being malnourished, starving, homeless or forced to do child labour in toxic rare earth mineral mines. /s

Prunebutt,

The thingeis: the world is getting less free and inequality has been constantly rising in the last decades.

This Steven Pinker BS is advertising complacency, while we should agitate people to fight for a better world.

If you want to be optimistic, look around for the average kindness of everyday live inside communities. The FOSS community, unions, mutual aid in neighborhoods etc. This would lift you up and point in the direction where things could get better.

Leider halt aus GdP Gründen und nicht aus menschenfreundlichen.

“Illegale Immigration”. Ist nur ein Schreckgespenst, um rassistische Verweigerung des Asylrechts zu rechtfertigen.

Meiner Meinung nach würden sich viele Probleme auf der Welt lösen, indem jegliche Migration dekriminalisiert wird und Grenzen abgeschafft werden.

Prunebutt,

Hast du schon mal deinen Gedanken zuende gedacht?

Was glaubst du, wie schnell Industrieländer es schaffen, effektive “Entwicklungshilfe” zu leisten, wenn sie die Menschen im globalen Süden, die gerade für unseren Lebensstandard ausgebeutet werden nicht mehr durch Waffengewalt fern gehalten werden?

Prunebutt,

die von niemanden links der NPD abgelehnt wird…

Migrant*innen/Asylsuchende dürfen in Deutschland idR weder arbeiten, noch eine Lehre anfangen. Zu behaupten, dass diese beabsichtigen, nur das Sozialsystem zu belasten ist reine Rechts-Propaganda.

Prunebutt, (edited )

Considering that the USSR only claimed to be socialist and used propaganda (in accord with the US) to convince the people that state control is the same as worker’s control over the means of production (it isn’t), the girl is probably correct.

Prunebutt,

Memes can still be incoherent.

Prunebutt,

1936 Catalonia.

But it is actually really hard to name examples. This video explains it quite well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D4l_l1MedQ

Prunebutt, (edited )

You know that Rothbard stole that term from anarcho-communists (libertarian socialists), right?

Edit: Thought you meant right-wing libertarianism. Was confused, since IMHO Marx (without Lenin/Mao/etc.) is actually quite compatible with left-wing libertarianism. Even if he had a personal feud with Bakunin.

Prunebutt,

You do realize that some of these idiots have way more power (money) than they should have any right to? Elon Musk, Bobby Kotick, …

Prunebutt,

You’re describing communalism, if you’re interested.

Prunebutt,

I completely agree. However, as I understand, the tradition as it stems from Murray Bookchin explicitly condemns this arbitrary categorisation.

Prunebutt, (edited )

Don’t let the tankies steal the term “communism”.

I even don’t want to give up Marx.

Prunebutt,

I’ve actually never seen any reason to believe that he has any engineering chops.

Prunebutt,

Those two have big overlaps. “Libertarian socialism” used to be another term for anarchism.

Prunebutt,

I really like the term “state capitalist”.

Prunebutt,

This title is at least more comprehensive: 9to5linux.com/fedora-linux-39-beta-released-with-…

(Gnome 45, kernel 6.5* …)

Prunebutt,

I’ve heard this a few times and wholeheartedly believe it. But I don’t know any sources, when I’m asked. Do you happen to know any?

Prunebutt,

I switched back in 2005 (I think), because Windows XP didn’t have the drivers for being installed on an S-ATA drive and SUSE could be installed without any hassle. I feel very old.

Prunebutt,

I’ve heard good things of Chimera OS. Haven’t used it myself yet, though.

Prunebutt,

Bei mir funktionieren wenn ich eingeloggt bin nicht mal feddit.de communities, wie c/dach .

Nicht eingeloggt ist alles aktuell, eingeloggt seh ich nur drei Posts von vor einer Woche.

Prunebutt,

Since OP wants to listen on PC as well: Antennapod can also sync via gpoddersync and nextcloud.

Works really nice and can be self-hosted if you want to.

Prunebutt,

The chinese government doesn't have any say in tiktok. Tiktok isn't even available in china. This is an attemt to please repuplican politicians all the way.

Correction: The PRC owns 1% and has one person in the board of directors of bytedance. Still: the fearmongering against the chinese government is just a smokescreen to draw attention away from the NSA.

Prunebutt,

The CIA has banned that stuff because their employees are high value targets for chinese intelligence agencies.

You don't have any data collection restrictions in the US (thanks to the patrion act).

Law enforcement has coplete access to the ring doorbell cameras. Google and Facebook have repeatedly worked together with the CIA and FBI. It has been established that the US elections have been tampered with via targeted advertising in combination with misinformation. As a regular US citizen, you are simply not a target for China. The US government however has repeatedly proven that it spies on foreign and their own citieens.

And all that "dumbing down" conspiracy theory: It is far more likely that a profit driven corporation simply optimizes for maximum engagement for ad revenue.

Prunebutt,

The chinese government neither wants to sell you shit, nor will harrass you with their cops (unless you live in China).

Prunebutt,

ByteDance is corporated in the Cayman Islands

Prunebutt,

Bigger problems like the republicans and other far-right parties attacking reproductive rights? Yeah, you're right.

Prunebutt,

ByteDance is corporated in the Cayman Islands, buddy.

They are about as cooperative with the CCP as Apple and Facebook are.

Prunebutt,

They try to do everything to make users stay on their platform for as long as possible. They were probably afraid that the concept of orphanages might bum people out too much.

Prunebutt,

Really? Because you could argue that targeted advertising lead to the January 6th riots.

The chinese government doesn't really benefit from data collection on western citizens. At least not if they don't work for intelligence agencies or want to proclaim that Taiwan is a country while being on mainland China.

Prunebutt,

Yeah. The chinese government clearly wants you to see as many ads for some shitty car or makeup or whatnot. That's definetly the CCP and not some Ad company who pays ByteDance. /s

Prunebutt,

It's not more naive than trusting the US government. That one has a more direct control and interest in implementing a surveillance police-state.

Prunebutt,
  1. They might not need to, since the NSA has quite an arsenal of tools.
  2. The companies might share all the info volutarily.
  3. They'll definetly share the data if the price is right.

Google Amazon and Facebook have repeatedly worked with law enforcement in the past. You can still believe that the chinese goverment is sooo much worse than the US, but don't call other people naive if you do.

Prunebutt, (edited )

ByteDance is still incorporated in the Cayman Islands. Not the PRC.

Edit: You still haven't explained why the PRG has more of an incentive to spy on you personally than the NS government does.

Of course: China spies on the US. But as long as you're not carrying government secrets, you're a way more interesting target for the people in charge of the cops.

Prunebutt,

The place of the headquarter doesn't necessarily reflecht the juristiction. And they developed both Douyin and Tiktok (it is the same app).

Prunebutt,

Yes it is. Why do you think thah TikTok removes that content in the first place? It 's because they are afraid to give paranoid, xenophobic, republicans any "reason" to ban them.

I actuallyethink that you are trying to derail the discussion into "you showld never trust tiktok".

Prunebutt,

What is your point? Tell me, what the chinese government is supposedly doing with non-chinese user-data that is not worse than what the US surveillance capitalism is currently doing?

Do you seriously think that China spread misinformation about "stolen elections"?

Prunebutt,

I'm seriously not a fan of China. But thinking that neoliberal western "democracies" are way less authoritarian is just a delusion.
