Decoration is not supposed to be useful, by definition.

I think it’s interesting to set a budget and start noticing things that you like. Kind of random stuff that gets your attention for no apparent reason, just because it resonates with you.

And then you can think about how to fit more of “these” with your budget.

Could be board games, posters, cards, whatever. It’s whatever makes you feel like yourself. Then hoard them in. :D

There’s some legal framework in commonwealth countries around cooperatives you might be interested in.

I never figured how to structure securing funds for worker owned cooperatives, but it could be a consumer owned cooperative, paying upfront costs associated with the equipment in exchange for the goods as they are produced. And then volunteer work could be granted shares/ownership, so the exceeding produce become actual wages, then the consumers can be bought out by workers, and it becomes a worker owned cooperative? Just brainstorming here.

And, of course, all decisions being democratic between participants.

Still, it might be useful to have some form of owner (you) dictating the way. And then have it converted to collective ownership by however you prefer to grant it.

You use the web app from mobile too?

I agree with both of you in that regard.

My point is not that the Chinese would influence the western social medias, but that the contrast would stenghten the resolve of the netizens within China. And by having XHS as an established entry door, that could start slowly pulling users into moderated space.

Similarly to how we understand the value of lemmygrad by comparison. I first joined a bunch of instances but quickly realised that the free for all market of ideas where only upvote exist like .world and beehaw can easily turn into lib/fash-fest, and decided to have lemmygrad as my main, understanding that any instance banning us is not worth interacting with.

Well, it could be interesting as an experiment to strengthen their position. Mankind two experiments, the first XHS, with Chinese rules, and the second facebook and Co, with freedom rules.

And then the Chinese people can see for themselves which create a more human interaction environment, and how much propaganda they get back from it.

Also, by allowing a big centre like Shangai to interact, they’re going balls deep showing to the US public opinion the starking difference of life’s conditions.

Also, lemmygrad is that, in a way. We know how well this place works under its tight rules. Would we want it any other way? Thank you to the beautiful comrades of the admin team, btw.

But I agree, they need to keep a tight leash on the experiment.

Still on factorio. About 120 hours into the save. Pausing now to study programming a bit, but will play less hard, for the upcoming months, likely.

I was pinged and I’m confused. :P

Oh, this is a new topic!

É, a thumb não carregou. D:

I vote comrade Yogthos.

Obrigado pelos 30m de atenção. :)

Eu acho que estar errado publicamente tem algum valor. Porque nem todo mundo está na vanguarda da teoria o tempo todo. E pra chegar lá tem 200 anos de teoria.

Talvez algum nível de desvio vindo de discussões geralmente razoáveis ajude a apresentar mais da nossa linha, por contraste, pra quem tende a se alinhar naturalmente com a esquerda não radical.

O feminismo também tem seus desvios, vide radfem. Mesmo a pauta trans também é contaminada pelos liberais, e acho que ambos desvios afastam as pessoas da nossa linha pela linha, como efeito colateral. Acho que ele foi pela linha errada de análise, mas há um ponto sobre a linguagem não ser sempre a contradição principal, e que sublinhar esse ponto acaba afastando pessoas que poderiam se alinhar a nós politicamente, por tirá-los o interesse por conta dos seus preconceitos que poderiam ser superados, de outra forma.

Have you worked with entr?

It generalises watch modes. I can see a setup with tmux and entr to kick-start builds in watch mode, and whatever your neovim stuff is.

👍

Is what I learned with fallout. Or something.

Win-win, except that dollars are useless by themselves. The debt is better for the US than the dollars, because they can control the third country with it. With the dollars back, they lose control and get a huge influx of money which, without stuff to buy, will cause inflation.

I’m saddened by this news. 🎉

Yeah, when there’s aliens news I always ask myself “okay, where they don’t want us to be discussing, now?”

I don’t know what that is, this time. Anything Ukraine or Israel?

What a beautiful sum up, comrade. 🫡

There’s a new expansion pack for factorio. Factorio is not for everyone, but whoever gets it gets a cheap per hour entertainment.

“i don’t think whoever gets to win, or to lose, nor whoever wins or loses, will win. Or lose. Everybody’s going to lose.” - Rousseff, Dilma. When getting couped out of Brazilian presidency.

It’s out of context, but one of my favourite quotes ever. I’ve never seen it translated.

Sorted.

I’d suggest using industry standard (utm tracking codes) for that. I thought v=10 was a versoning parameter and didn’t remove it. :D

Some very politically “neutral” are “the book of” series. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24878419-the-sociology-book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8493026-the-philosophy-book

You can find them on Anna’s archive.

I honestly don’t know how to describe them relative to how lemmygrad’s political line, but I like that there’s a time line, and it felt complete enough for my young self.

I suppose after getting a grasp, some vocabulary, and context, it is probably easier to follow prolewiki’s: https://en.prolewiki.org/index.php?title=Portal:Marxism

I’d also follow the collective study groups here, in your position. :)

Let me know how it goes! Hasta la victoria, siempre!

How about starting with a guide, and make notes on primary sources for later?

Anything you get here will be someone’s take on the path for sociology. Just like the author of a sociology review guide/book.

Otherwise, sociology concepts tend to be non trivial to navigate, because beginners miss the historical context in which concepts are proposed. And where primary sources are coming from.

This take “primary sources only” hamper your potential understanding, in my opinion. Building this knowledge individually feels pointless, idealistic, even. Because it lacks dialogue with other people that are living and applying those concepts, and risks giving you just a perspective based only on your own limited experience, instead of an actual grasp on the gradient of sociological ideas. Which is apparently what you are looking for.
