Alsephina,

Oh my god they rewrote Linux in Rust. Amazing.

Alsephina,

The pro version is just official support service from the company. That’s how FOSS has always been monetized, no?

Seems like a good deal for people completely unfamiliar with Linux who just want a cheap OS and help to keep it running.

Alsephina,

It is, though. Wealth and power are concentrating at the top of megacorporations and billionaires and bringing in record profits, just as they’re supposed to under capitalism.

Alsephina,

Genocide Joe really isn’t much different lol. Both parties are gradually shifting to the right.

Alsephina,

Just don’t vote for someone funding a genocide

Alsephina,

We gotta pump these numbers up

Alsephina,

the blanket bans on 16+ content

The fuck? There’s literally an entire instance for porn.

Alsephina,

And google stopped any chances of that ever happening. The Fediverse should just let itself grow gradually and naturally, as should have XMPP

Alsephina,

I was right to avoid making my account there then lol

though ig you can just migrate accounts now with 0.19

Alsephina,

You’d have to be a dumbass to federate with these megacorps lol. We’re here precisely because of the decisions of one such company.

Alsephina,

Much better. It’s modded directly by Lemmy devs and they don’t defederate well-modded instances.

Btw, “tankie” isn’t much of an insult if you meant it like that, the same way “woke” isn’t much of one to the people conservatives use it against. Fighting against economic inequality and discrimination are good things.

Lemmy.ml does a great job keeping homophobes and nazis out, better than .world at least.

Alsephina,

Or the LLM is just that incompetent lol

Alsephina,

Alot of them are living in an empire they’ve been conditioned to be okay with after all.

iirc George Lucas himself said that Star Wars is an allegory for the Vietnamese (Rebel Alliance) resisting American imperialism (Galactic Empire)

Our world is already post scarcity too for basic needs like food and housing. We’re just terrible at actually getting them to people since most countries are still capitalist, so they prioritize capital/profit over human lives and rely on what’s basically slave labour from less developed nations to make the ruling class richer.

Alsephina,

That’s just one definition, no? You could interpret this part of the wiki like I did for example

Post-scarcity does not mean that scarcity has been eliminated for all goods and services but that all people can easily have their basic survival needs met

and conclude that we’re already in that world, like Star Trek is.

Alsephina, (edited )

Like I said, just different ways of interpreting the definitions.

The wiki definition “people can easily have their basic survival needs met” is passive, which could mean either

  • your definition of the people themselves being able to “go get those basic needs fulfilled”, or just
  • the world having more than enough resources and the technology to easily meet everyone’s basic needs.

The latter is how I interpreted it. And that’s our world, just hindered by our current political/economic system of capitalism.

Alsephina,

Popular, geeky, and leftist. That last one likely resonates with a large part of the communist/socialist community we have here on Lemmy.

It certainly does for Lemmy dev Dessalines, seeing how they’re responding on this thread too.

Alsephina,

I started watching it recently because of Lemmy lol. Pretty good, though I haven’t gotten to the apparently best parts yet.
