  • With the state of western software development and how ingrained the US and Israeli security state seems to be there, plus how much China seems to be prioritizing top-to-bottom self-sufficiency in tech, I wouldn’t be surprised if a Chinese fork that welcomes Russian contributors becomes a force unto itself.

    An ecosystem where India, Russia, and China based coders take leadership is an ecosystem that has a bigger chance for mass adoption in the biggest manufacturing economies in the world.



  • Everyone knows that he’s a fascist. We also know Kamala and her cabinet is gonna be hardly better, so if you’re gonna vote, don’t waste it on a genocide enabler.

    We already know all the talking points of “pushing her left”, we know y’all ain’t gonna do shit, because you didn’t do it with Biden and you certainly wouldn’t have done it with Obama, it’s always people who voted third party out there organizing while y’all wait for the next election to come around for you to pretend you’re doing something.





  • Whenever you think the government is stupidly wasting money when there’s a cheaper and more humane solution, you can bet your neck it’s to funnel money toward corporations.

    They usually jump through those hoops to obfuscate the trail and pretend there’s some economic complexity. There ain’t, it’s just laundering a corporate subsidy.

    “MEDIA PERSONALITIES LIKE” is a pretty important part of that sentence that you shortened to sound conspiratorial. It would do everyone well to read the entire article rather than look at the shortest quote for a gotcha.

    In April, he won the prestigious White House Press Correspondents’ Award “for overall excellence in White House coverage”

    That’s like the fourth paragraph. So, yes, even if you don’t know him, that’s very influential. The article also goes over plenty of examples across Meta, CNN, NYT, Google and many others.





  • The fact that this thread replies to facts by going “b-but, Russia” like it’s still fucking 2016 is just peak political literacy from USians. Not only do they vote for candidates everyone hates, they get absolutely piss mad if a candidate tries to run on issues their voters believe in.

    I thought the issue with reddit was that it was full of idiots and bots, turns out it was just full of Americans lmao.

    The funny thing is, there’s more of a symbiotic relationship between us and plants.

    Those plants that exhibited favorable traits for human consumption were carried far from their native ecosystem and through biome barriers they couldn’t have otherwise. In the same way peppers with capsaicin (which allowed birds/reptiles to eat and spread them around while deterring mammals that would otherwise ruin the seed) became more successful, wheat, corn and other grasses became more successful when the kernels got bigger because it encouraged humans to harvest those and maybe keep some for later/spread them around.

    Plants may not have any agency but the fact is some of them evolved traits that made this upright monkey eventually toil away to guarantee their reproduction year after year.

    Lmao. Don’t lecture me on what Donald Trump is gonna do to the rest of the world when it’s been both parties robbing us in the global south. Many of Trump’s most atrocious policies have just been happily accepted as the new normal by democrats. That’s their function, one does the dirty work, the other pretends it has to stay this way now.

    Any metric that doesn’t include Joe Biden – the guy directly responsible for the mass incarceration of PoC via the 90s crime bill, a segregation advocate, a guy who has increased the number of children in cages in migrant camps, who keeps shipping weapons to a state in the middle of a completely broadcasted genocide – as a fascist, is a worthless, arbitrary metric.

    You’re telling me Bush, who greatly enhanced the ability of the NSA to spy on every single citizen in America, who had a torture camp in Guantanamo where they knew they were torturing innocent people, who had black sites in abu ghraib, who gave finance capital carte blanche to rob people with predatory mortgages and securities built on air, that guy isn’t a fascist?

    All this tells me is that the US has a far greater tolerance for fascism than anywhere else in the world as long as you don’t use the word, and provided the fascists aren’t targeting them specifically.
