By the early 2010s, at least two tycoons had seen their net worth approach that decabillion-dollar barrier, only to land in jail on corruption charges instead. That is not to say the charges were baseless, only that the choice of targets did appear to reflect a lingering, levelling tendency among China’s leaders.
In this new era, it’s dangerous to get too rich. Stories abound of the state launching investigations against this business figure or that financier. The pressure is drying up venture capital funds, scaring the young away from lucrative professions such as investment banking. The number of millionaires leaving China has been rising and peaked last year at 15,000 — dwarfing the exodus from any other nation.
Hilarious shit. It’s almost as if it’s impossible to get rich through honest and ethical means.
I support this. I have a home server running 24/7 with more than enough storage and wouldn’t mind seeding some prolewiki torrents.
Assuming web crawlers and Tor traffic are filtered out my guess would be in the range of 10 - 100 depending on the day.
The only possible glowop related to lemmygrad that we know of is Wenger/Wisconcom; Some guy from the US who claims to be Hoxhaist/Stalinist and calls this site and prolewiki “revisionist” because people here support the PRC. He lurks here and other places and has been actively attempting to infiltrate/wreck lemmygrad and prolewiki for over 2 years now. So far all of his attempts have hilariously failed, but for some reason he just never gives up. He might even be reading this very thread from a different account. I recommend “The Wiscon Files” for a deep dive.
Unless suddenly strange things start happening here on lemmygrad I think there is no need for this much paranoia (unless you’re somehow a big threat to the imperial state).
At this point the best thing that could happen to the PS5 is for people to find a reliable jailbreak. With Linux it would probably make a decent PC. In terms of specs the hardware is comparable to a Xeon based workstation from the early-mid 2010s.
Good point. All these streaming sites are inefficient by design. Even without the DRM the Server will have to encode the video and audio (or possibly even transcode them if the client only supports certain formats) before sending them to the client. And this happens on the fly every time anyone watches anything. If those streaming sites were all just a fancy looking file server that make you download the source video files directly (kind of like GOG does with video games) then that would greatly reduce energy consumption long-term.
It doesn’t help that they keep deprecating and changing standard stuff every other version. It’s like they can’t make up their mind and everything may be subject to change. Updating to the most recent release can suddenly cause 10s or 100s of compiler warnings/errors and things may no longer behave the same. Then you look up the new documentation and realize that you have to refactor a large part of the codebase because the “new way” is for whatever reason vastly different.
Here is the linked thread for people who don’t want to go to twitter:
Booker Ngesa Omole ☭:
There is no such a thing like sex work, period! Let’s address the misguided communists who claim “sex work” is legitimate labor. This notion betrays the fundamental principles of Marxism and aligns with capitalist exploitation rather than challenging it.
In a patriarchal society, prostitution isn’t just about humiliation—it’s the highest form of exploitation, primarily affecting poor and working-class women.These women aren’t “workers” in the traditional sense; they’re victims of a system that commodifies their bodies.
The relationship between those who purchase sex and those who sell it is not one of equality. It’s a relationship of oppression, where the powerful exert control over the powerless, perpetuating violence and exploitation.
To suggest that prostitution is anything other than the grossest form of exploitation ignores the brutal realities these women face: physical and psychological violence, poverty, and a society that views them as disposable.
Human beings should never be used as mere instruments for others’ ends. The commodification of women’s bodies contradicts the Marxist principle that people should not be treated as commodities.
True communists must reject the capitalist narrative that seeks to legitimize prostitution under the guise of “sex work.” Our fight is for a society where exploitation is abolished and where women are free from the shackles of patriarchy.
Anything less is a betrayal of our revolutionary ideals and a capitulation to the forces of reaction. We must stand firm against this dangerous rhetoric and fight for the liberation of all women from exploitation.
imo. people (especially comrades) should really consider using the fediverse.
This shit is exactly why I’ve been firmly avoiding anything “smart”. If I can’t run an OS/firmware on it that I compiled myself and have full control I don’t trust it.
lol why care about these random online personalities? The only times I get to know of their existence is when people post clips of them where they have a highly controversial take and it’s always without fail some generic boring af react-commentary-“just chatting”-variety streamer/content creator. I wouldn’t put it past them if they do these controversial takes intentionally from time to time in an attempt to increase engagement.
Family told me apparently german media talked a lot of shit about the former east german commie regime the other day. Gotta “remind” the peasants every once in a while I guess.
On distros w/o systemd there is always syslog-ng. s6 also has its own log system.
It’s not necessary, but a good thing to have if something goes wrong and you want to debug/monitor something. It’s really up to you and your needs.
“Remove them from power” by vooting you mean right? Right?
“unnamed source”
It’s capitalism. Nobody wants to take risks anymore because game development is a huge industry now with many investors who demand their developers play it safe and make sure it has mass appeal. Then even the indies (those who view game dev primarily as a business) see that what the big guys are doing “works” so now they strive to do the same because otherwise there would be no way for them to stay competitive. Only game devs who view making games as a fun thing to do and don’t even really think about the industry or the current market can make good games. Which are a small minority at this point, because capitalism favors the former.
I feel the same. I only play very few games anymore for this reason. Most of the games I play are very niche because they at least try to be unique. Like Fates of Ort or Dust Riser for example. I also tend to play a lot of open source re-implementations like OpenRCT2, OpenMW or Augustus (Caesar III).
Game stores are flooded with crap that tries to appeal to the widest possible audience, which makes it really difficult to find actually good games. Even most Indies only produce slop. Nintendo used to make really interesting games back in the day. Still have my GameBoy and 3DS with some of my favorite games, so at least I can still enjoy those.
The “sit back and relax”-strategy really does work.
