I don’t use this enough to bother with multiple accounts tbh.

Ah dang. It’s so confusing talking on .ml because half of the time the people can’t see what I say.

Ok so, I have a question. You say “I also fully beleive that ANY government/social system can devolve into Authoritarianism if implemented incorrectly or not vigilant enough about making sure not to centralize power in a problematic way.”

So where is the line for you? What is “problematic power” vs “non-problematic power”.

Like what countries do you think are authoritarian now vs ones that arent?

At what point does a government that enforces laws on the people who live in it through a monopoly on state violence stop being “Not-Authoritarian” and start being “Authoritarian” in your view? I am legit asking because I don’t get why you see some countries as “Authoritarian” and others as not.

(Idk if that persons instance can see my question. If not oops I forget which of them blocks grad.)

The DPRK can do nuclear war safely because afterwards they can just use Juche Necromancy on the whole world. So when you see the mushroom clouds just relax. You’ll be waking up in Pyongyang soon.

You act as if ml is unreasonable for enforcing rules when half the liberal instances entirely block lemmygrad cuz they cant handle seeing actual materialist analysis instead of the propaganda yall lap up.

P.S. Slava Ukrani is a slogan that originated with a literal Nazi paramilitary group. lol

This seems to be a pretty niche use case brought about by changes in the available hardware for servers. Likely they are having situations where their servers have copious amounts of RAM, and CPU cores that the task it is handling don’t need all of, or perhaps isn’t even able to make use of due to software constraints. So this is a way for them to run different tasks on the same hardware without having to worry about virtualization. Effectively turning a bare metal server into 2 bare metal servers. They mention in their statement that, “The primary use case in mind for parker is on the machines with high core counts, where scalability concerns may arise.”

That is ultimately why anarchism is so popular in the west. If you look at collectivist cultures it really isnt a thing. Outside of people being influenced by westerners.

I sincerely hope you are right. I just don’t think we will be that lucky.

They should stay out. Travel restrictions starting are a bad sign. Good chance that the ones who stay end up trapped in the US indefinitely. If i was on an H1-B I’d be on the next flight to my home country, or whatever other country I could get into, and just start looking for a new job outside the US.

With wind turbines being so thin at the bottom and most of the size being up above i wonder why it isn’t more common to have them built in the middle of farmland. Like you could use the space for multiple uses.

Number of photos and evidence for the genocide in Gaza: infinite

Number of photos and evidence of the “genocide” in Xinjiang: 0

Idk. I feel like the fediverse was always destined to be various walled gardens with like a few common hubs that connect them. The issue is that .world took the exrta step of blocking their ability to see our comments. Its not due to being defederated i think they did something else to not see us even on instances we are both on.

Its kinda funny. Ive seen a few .world tech support posts and been like “Oh… i could help but u wont see me” lol.

Yes because historically you know what stopped Hitler? Voting. We just voted so hard he said “gosh guys im gonna stop.”

They are federated with ml but not with my instance. So since they posted to ml i can see it. But they wont see my comment since they block us.

The water from a garden hose comes from the same plumbing system as tap water. Theres nothing wrong with it unless your hose is made of toxic materials or something.

Edit: Oh it’s .world they wont see this lol

One thing Ill say about capitalism is its made me get really creative in the different ways i make rice.

More likely i think will be “Pay now, and we might send you the product or we might not! Either way your gonna pay!”

While not entirely incorrect this is a reductive view of the situation.

I dont blame you for that, but Id like to provide additional information to anyone else who sees this.

I think the most important thing to do up front is stop talking about Ukraine as if it is a monolithic entity. The nation of Ukraine, like all others, is simply lines on a map. The actual people in that nation comprise various groups.

There are a few different ones of relevance in this situation. Firstly the people in Luhansk, and Donetsk. These are the regions in the eastern most part of Ukraine. Another group of importance is the Azov Battalion. This is a western trained and backed paramilitary organization that is openly neo-nazi.

Prior to the Russian Invasion the Azov Battalion was engaged in an ethnic cleansing campaign in Luhansk and Donetsk. This is a fact.

The Luhansk, and Donetsk regions had no real way to defend themselves. They had been appealing to Russia for assistance for a long time. Russia had ignored them. It could have intervened to stop the crimes against humanity being committed at any time. It didnt.

Instead it waited until it had its own selfish reasons for wanting to invade Ukraine, and used the liberation of Donetsk, and Luhansk as an excuse to do so.

Obviously given this context Russia is not the “good guys”. I dont think OP would claim they are.

Neither are the Saudis good guys. But if they were to invade Israel for selfish reasons and a byproduct of that invasion was the liberation of Gaza i think we could all agree that would be a good thing. Despite the Saudis simply acting in self interest to gain more land.

Now this still doesnt get into every minute detail. Like the coup in Ukraine prior to the war, or Russias actions during the invasion. But it does provide enough context to bridge the viewpoints of yourself and the OP i think.

That is to say, Russia is invading Ukraine for selfish and imperialist reasons. Yet their invasion is having the byproduct of bringing to an end an ethnic cleansing campaign.

So when the OP says “Theyre lying about Ukraine” its to point out how the US acts as if they had no hand in this situation. As if they werent supporting the Azov Battalion as it attempted ethnic cleansing. And how they act as if Ukraine is a monolithic entity. As if all Ukrainians were unhappy about Russias invasion. Which is very much not the case.

Nobody is claiming Russia to be the good guys. But if our goal is to at some point in the future have a Ukraine where nobody is being killed by violent military action then we must be aware of this nuance.

The same goes for when we interpret news on the ongoing war. Its important we are all aware of these things.

Sadly though to include all this in the meme would not a good meme make.

I hope he walks out into the roof again and thats the first time anyone sees him in a week. Just on the roof in his bath robe standing there sipping coffee.
