USian ambassador meddling with internal policy.
same setup, havent had issues so far.
westoids be like: "why dont you go and throw your life away you useless slav untermensch!, also sell me all your national assets while you're at it"
sorry they're not stupid enough to sacrifice themselves for the interests of the US
thanks, will check it out. seems like an upgrade to swappy.
For wayland, i use the combination of grim+slurp+swappy.
but the fun part is tweaking the OS 😭
Yea i am inclined to go for this one based on other responses, i have no clue about the materials used to print so ill figure it out by using one of these ender printers and engaging with communities.
Any 3d printing nerd that can point me in the right direction? The amount of brands out there is overwhelming.
What your genius idea is missing is that there is an already established society with a ruling class, is your plan to ask nicely? 😅
The point Engels is making is that revolution is about establishing one group authority over the already established authority. In a society where might makes right, only might can resolve it.
You know how a conservative calls anyone to the left of them "woke"? Well it's exactly that but with democrats.
“Let me be clear,” the president said in the statement, “whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence – none – between Israel and Hamas.”
Hey i can agree with this statement.
I like flat hardware (the ps5 shouldnt be there tho). You can stack stuff over flat hardware, they're not akward to place, can be easily stored, easier to design, easier to machine, etc...
Now flat software is fucking mediocre and should be abolished,
bruh there are like a billion games on the steam store, no one is desperate for exclusive games anymore 😂
Even worse, they are gaslighted into thinking intellectual property exctracting rent is completely fine and actually desirable.
Chinese people have also felt a lot of persecution around the world, anti-chinese pogroms happened frequently during last century.
There has to be a balance, we need to understand that as long as we export harvests out of the field we need to import nutrients into the field. We can't expect plants to naturally replenish the nutrients that we unnaturally extract.
Also we need to understand that when we introduce heavy machinery into a field, we need heavy machinery to break compaction. Plants and soil organisms simply cannot naturally break the compaction caused by our unnaturally heavy machinery that is heavily concentrated in the small contact area of a tire.
Some of these dogmatic beliefs lead to "regenerative" farmers being more extractivists than the industrial farmers they demonize.
Plants compete between them for resources, sorry but its idealistic nonsense to claim that they work together.

This could be another embarrassing setback for US foreign policy, this time in its so-called "back yard" (or as Biden calls it, "front yard").
This situation shows that the US does not have the economic power it used to have, Russian sanctions over banana imports were enough to sway Ecuador away from the arms deal. Overall it's a pretty funny situation where both Ecuador and the US look very silly.

Also worth mentioning that we should start calling the "houthis" as their official name "Ansar allah".
Stock buybacks, aka corporate financialization, as a mode of predatory value extraction
Interesting in-depth read on stock buybacks and the main perpetrators (Apple is #1 of course). Stock buybacks are corporate corruption, where senior executives cash in the profits of the company by getting paid in stocks and then colluding to use the company profits to buy stocks (thus artificially inflating the value of stocks) and then dumping them. Literally a pump and dump scheme.
When someone mentions that there is no corruption in the private sector, send them this article.
