Gifted Autistic Sysadmin, Anti-Corporate activist
I help people and build things that help people.
Check out our instance and our communities:
Yeah, I didnt think you would be able to defend against any of it.
But since you’re still being condescending, this conversation is now over.
I will check the stuff you mentioned because, unlike you, I have no issue with being corrected.
Good luck with your attitude mate.
And thats what I meant.
Respect means you acknowledge my arguments. Just backing off on the insults a bit (but not fully) isnt cutting it. Respectful discussion is addressing people’s arguments as well as not insulting them or their intelligence.
I will definitely take the time and check things that are brought forward. Saying “just because shit was bad back then means exactly that, not that the system it was in was shit.” isnt the same as sticking fingers in ones ears and singing lalala. Doing as if that were the case is just abusive rhetoric.
Because shit is horrendous today as well: Fentanyl hordes, people freezing to death on the streets, protesters shot, people deported to concentration camps, genocide, media spewing propaganda, most of the population living paycheck to paycheck, guantanamo. Most of the examples are US but the EU is only marginally different and catching up fast.
There is no such thing as a perfect system. Gulags alone are no sole cause for dismissal same as guantanamo is.
Here’s a video about the reason why people hate socialism so much https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mhYS59egWQc
Even if i dont check and just believe what you wrote, it still beats the shit out of the situation a ton of us are in right now (also that was literally 34+ yrs ago. Life was different then AND the country was recovering from tons of shit). Not to speak of the countries that make our ill gotten comfort possible too. And just to clarify, present day russia is not communist or socialist. they’re as capitalist as the western states are. They are no better and no worse in terms of inequality.
The important part, will you have a respectful discussion or do I have to block you?
I’m sorry that you have to insult me like that. There are many ways to train healthy discussion habits.
Absolutely correct. Thats why I said one could improve on it.
Wow. You’re showing very civilized behavior. Maybe i should rethink my stance. :D
What you’re doing is called a “thought stopper” or “conversation stopper”. It is used in propaganda for hundreds of years.
And there it is again. Dont you ever wonder why they had a constitution like this but treated their people like this. Do you have a window in your room? Can you check what happens to enemies of the state where you live? What happens again if you become disabled in our “civilized” societies?
have you ever wondered if you’re being fed bullshit?
I will always be hated for this but fascism is necessary. It is the whip of the owning class. As long as you have capitalism, you have fascism.
In more detail if you wish:
Normal society: Person make chair, person sell chair, person eat
Thats the “natural” way of things.
Capitalism: Person make chair, person get tiny cut of chair because [mArKeTiNg cOsT, responsibility, land ownership and other bogus excuses], person eat less, capitalist eat more.
People dont really accept this because it is not natural or fair. Therefore you need a couple of things, depending on the stage of capitalism:
the carrot (you will have your own house! you will buy cool things! you can be rich!)
the veil (propaganda, telling you why it is the only thing that works, why you just need to comply, because compliance will be rewarded…)
the stick (a militarized police force that will shoot you if you dont comply)
As you can see, all western states are currently going down the “military disguised as police” route. Why do you think that is? It is because the capitalists want more yachts.
And after 100 years of propaganda, we actually believe there never has been a better system.
Have a great day.
Exactly. On top, we have this everywhere not only in media. Cost of living is insane and we are used to barely existing service for all the money we pay.
But dont dare to make an app that doesnt do the “swoosh”, “shaky screen” or otherwise isnt “polished” enough. Its “Go corpo or go home.”
I wonder if there is any solution? When will we have extracted enough profit? Should we do 16 hr work days? Maybe then corporate overlords will be happy?
Someone gets it.
Lets instead do this:
Every citizen, irrespective of their nationality, skincolor, gender has the right to:
This is directly taken from a 1936 constitution. Today one could improve on it but we’re so much worse, everywhere.
Now guess which one.
Great thinking. It wont ever happen though because that would be sOcIaLiSm.
You might wanna watch dont look up. Its pretty spot on in that department.
And I dont think anything will come through people’s apathy - besides a world ending comet maybe.
I think people will get upset enough to get off their butts and do things. The issue I see currently is that demonstrating likely wont bring change but if people start disrupting harder (not more violent, although I’m not a pacifist at all) it will definitely bring change.
Yeah sure. Because a company paywalling functions has anything to do with network configuration.
What people like you dont understand is that there is no minimum requirement of knowledge to selfhost. It is completely braindead how often i have to tell people how a network works and now i have to explain to people why software configuration is not network configuration.
Teamviewer is an absolute shitfest and had its data stolen approximately a year ago. Not to mention that it stops sessions for free tier users.
Rustdesk is a great solution imo for selfhosters.
I did not make a “first” or “second” post about this. This is it.
Neat. Thanks for suggesting.
Already done. Thanks for the suggestion though. :)
You’re pretty hostile. Good luck with that attitude.
Thats the system. Its designed like that. There are books depicting this stuff from 100 years ago.
