TY!

To clarify: I have certain expectations that I hold a socialist country to. The best case scenario would be that the DPRK meets all my expectations and is a socialist paradise. I have no belief that the DPRK does or does not meet those expectations.

XHS? Is this some kind of app?

I do wish finding information about them was easier. It always ends up being a game of believing either the US state department, or the DPRK. Obviously can’t trust a word the US says, but I remain skeptical of what the DPRK says in a guided tour or in a glorified advertisement showing off a single new apartment building.

Would absolutely love to visit some day though. At worst, they don’t live up to my expectations of a socialist paradise and are just like any other country. At best, they exceed my expectations and I become a follower of Juche. 😂

It takes work, and it takes emotional patience with people. Screaming at the top of our lungs that we must have revolution does nothing. We must be teachers first, show the masses that their attempts at reforms are failing. If they are rational at all, they will listen. If they are not rational, getting angry and scolding them does nothing.

The western left (and I self-criticize when I say this because it applies to me as well) tends to be very infantile, very impatient, and has relatively low levels of militancy within it. I’m a full on hoxhaist. I have a very specific view on what I want socialism to look like, and what strategies I believe are actually beneficial. That being said, if I spend the bulk of my time engaged in disrespecting other tendencies instead of doing literally anything I will never see the world I want. No bunkers will be built, and I will be sad. ☹️

The average person just wants to see us do something. How often do communist parties in the west actually organize things themselves as opposed to hopping onto some liberal groups thing? If we can’t even, for example organize our own red aid in a remotely comparable way to what some rando charity is doing, we got a long ass way to go ya know? There is hardly room to bicker and try to dictate peoples lives and views until we’ve proven to be a force of good.

It was a hypothetical. Nobody is contributing to E-waste.

Is Russia being imperialist? Yes. Is Russia committing genocide? No.

That’s what I’m saying! It’s kinda awesome how long things get supported in linux land!

I just meant after support is dropped. The CIP I think supports each of its kernels for 10 years? So whatever the last kernel is before they officially drop support will still be maintained by them for a long time. :)

If anyone is actually using a 486 still, you can try using the kernels that the CIP maintains https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cip/linux-cip.git They actually still support kernel 4.4

I’m very for used hardware, some of my stuff is dumpster finds. I just liked the thought experiment of replacing a hypothetical 486 pc with a brand new computer.

I saw the luckfox products on aliexpress and they definitely looked cool!

I didn’t even think about those. That might be a good bet!

This seems like the most interesting suggestion so far. I’ll look into those!

I’ve always liked compressing my own music instead of downloading a sketchy aac or mp3 online so I very much appreciate this. Can’t wait until its up and running.

Just want to say that a large amount of users on lemmygrad and hexbear have complained about this. This post was even added to the slop community on hexbear because, believe it or not, hexbear does care about transphobia. He was called out 8-9 months ago too. As far as I know he is banned from hexbear, but I might be mistaken.

Most ML parties in the US I’ve interacted with have been pro trans. CPUSA, PSL, FRSO, APL, (to name a few) are all supportive of trans people.

Y’all are free to criticize tankies to your hearts content, but Nutomics views on this topic do not represent the views of most of the tankies you’ve interacted with on lemmy.

If Palemoon can still run the bulk of the web on a forked version of the old firefox engine, I doubt you’d notice anything breaking in the short term.

If this is all people cared about they’d be using Sid. Debian Stable is stable. It’s not there to be flashy and new. It’s there to work and stay working.

As someone who has used cryptpad, it works. It sucks major cheeks, but it gets the job done.
