I wasn’t aware of the controversy, but I’m not surprised it’s yet another mess caused by the existence of the British empire.

They apparently have accidentally the whole thing.

More people would be able to innovate on said “non IP”. Multiple lines could be developed by multiple independent teams, extending the non ip however they see fit. By encouraging competition, the better content would thrive.

It lowers the barrier of entry, enforcing competition and lowering distribution cost. And without the ludicrous profit margins and legal overhead from big conglomerates, it would be cheaper for the consumers, and more of the fees could be distributed to the actual people working on the creation.

This is prettyranty, sorry if it’s not too clearly articulated.

Read the official rust book until you feel like want to experiment with something, then go to advent of code and try something, anything out.

Then start investigating why it doesn’t quite work. And I guess gpt for suggestions and random questions isn’t a bad idea.

So… There’s no plans to decommission it, ever?

I’ve uploaded a few read by tts at https://pca.st/podcast/3af50c70-30cd-013c-f68a-0acc26574db2

Not too proud of it, but might still be useful.

There’s also audioteca critica, with actual people reading the books, https://pca.st/podcast/5a409f90-829a-013a-d7e9-0acc26574db2, in Brazilian Portuguese.

That image reminds me of the Botez gambit.

Have you met lemmygrad.ml?

I’m disappointed it’s not here yet. I’ll go back to reddit.

Ok, so you’re saying that having them wearing those Nazi badges is fine because the imperialist state department from the country that hired a non negligible number of Nazis after the Germans capitulated said the nazi patch wearing azov combatants are not doing anything wrong?

And at the same time, using pepe the frog online is clearly alt-right?

Just like you believe when the US state department say Israel is doing nothing against human rights in Palestine?

You look very confused, in my opinion.

Guilty of making use of hyperbole, whoah.

Now. Ukrainian military, its puppet leadership and its NATO allies are pretty accepting of fighting side by side, and providing weapons to Nazi sympathetic fighters.

Apparently CNN is now part of Russian propaganda?

At which point did I defend Putin or Xi in this conversation? I used the same argument as you did to argue that there’s Nazi sympathetic fighters in the Ukrainian armed forces.

Would you defend soldiers fighting side by side Nazi symbols?

You acknowledge pepe the frog as an alt right fascist symbol on Internet memes. But when armed forces in Ukraine use SS and black sun on their garment, you think it’s fine. Did west reclaim swastika and other nazi symbols, then?

You don’t have to explain why fascist symbols are bad, there. You might find most lemmygraders to be pretty reasonable.

I think it’s fair to say that “nice cops” see themselves as civilians, and representatives of the population, trying to improve things.

Soldiers are military, and a very different category. But! I read many US military personnel go in there because superior education is not really accessible anywhere else. So, maybe there’s a gray zone, there? Cannon fodder soldiers from poor strata die first, in any war. Most don’t want to be there.

I have particular views about IDF being an genocidal maniacal occupation force for a colonising state that commits innumerable crimes against humanity. That you’re probably not interested about.

And I have particular views about NATO using disguised Nazi Ideology in puppet states to seize and control it, that I also wouldn’t think you wouldn’t be particularly interested about.

If money wasn’t needed. If people had access to dignified work to pay for housing, food and health, they would have a choice.

Cop work is always available, on a very low entry bar, paying generally better than equivalent positions elsewhere. And shitty people get to vent their violence unchecked.

Nice cops “just” have to sell their should a bit. Some people get desperate and are willing to pay the consciousness price.

In my opinion these positions shouldn’t even be available, the whole chain of command should be replaced by people representing the oppressed classes, committed to ending oppression.

I’m not defending police, I just think the criticism has to focus on the institution problem, not at the individual problem. Individuals are insignificant in the grand scheme of things, systems are everything.

That’s, again, an institutional problem. Yes, down with those institutions!
