Oof, that's an L for me

Personally what intrigues me the most about breadtubers is how they become mild and inoffensive versions of themselves after becoming popular/well-off. Like, what causes that? Is it that the societal problems they criticized no longer applies to them? Is it the allure of advertising money? Is it secret CIA threats? I really do wonder.

The same exact cause for hungry as fuck "progressives" like AOC to settle and water down and tiptoe away from their original mission: They've switched classes and, therefore, their new class interests are in conflict with their original mission. What's there to be hungry about anymore when you start being fed really well? Why continue trying to destroy the status quo when it's benefiting you materially? This is why it's important to maintain loyalties to class interests (in this case, the interests of the proletariat), instead of individuals who are susceptible to corruption. China does this very well and provides the blueprint.

Good, very good. Now she can be Dead anne Frankenstein.

Who's next? Who else is ready to graduate from their deathbed to the grave?

The death of the empire is inevitable, and these corpses can't hold on much longer.

I noticed that the Colorful gpus are available in some places here, including ebay, and they're CHEAP.

This is pretty cool. Definitely something to keep an eye on, since I want to upgrade.

I just expect that when 100% indigenous Chinese technologies fully surpass Western equivalents from Intel, AMD, Nvidia, that the West will go full Gandalf and not allow easy access for their populations.

Beyond predictable. This is simply protectionism designed to artificially stifle competition since the US and EU cannot compete.

Not only that, they will fight to the death before they let anyone benefit from Chinese liberation from the oppressive tyranny of Western companies.

Expect to see this with phones, CPUs and GPUs and virtually every other relevant breakthrough technologies coming out of China that have the potential to somewhat alleviate the struggle of poverty.

As always, it's just class war playing itself out. They will always try and cancel the future.

Hexbear is the last fun place on the internet

I dunno what we are in now but the old web was better. 1.0 sucked. 2.0 was good though. You had all these nich communities bubbling with energy and ideas. Now it is just reddit and psyops and comodification.

Hexbears should help expand our creativity on the web, by taking inspiration from NeoCities (successor to GeoCities). Not everything has to be sterile and bland and boring. I'd even like to be able to customize our profile pages more than just things like the banner and profile picture. I mean, just look at how much life can be breathed into a site with so much flexibility. Look at all the colors and non-standard layouts. What the web as lost is personality, which we should be taking back. We're on FOSS sites here in the Fediverse. We can do better, and we shouldn't be too afraid to take risks by deviating from what's accepted as "normal" these days.

We had way better tools for self-expression on older formats like early YouTube, MySpace, etc etc. We don't have to stay the course of sterile, standardized, corporatized web formats.

The original point of using the web was making things beautiful and tinkering around with different designs. It was to tell a story with the layout. That was part of the content itself, not just what we say and do online.

Edit: https://yesterweb.org/ (on NeoCities) has plenty of good and interesting information on this general topic of a worse present web (a manifesto, if you will)

Can we get past the bullshit need to buy things from and sell shit to other people already? Make technology that actually fucking matters, that's actually interesting and assists in national development, and frees up the common person's schedule to engage in leisure, so we can all get the fuck on with our lives already?!

It's boring as hell and annoying as fuck how commerce continues to chase after people and becoming an increasingly obstructive, invasive phenomenon. People don't want their lives to be plagued with ads! Why do you think daytime television is on its deathbed (apart from being an endless sea of reality TV)? If we need something, we'll fucking go looking for it.

Just curious here. What are your solutions to the endlessly decaying social and material conditions of the West?

Edit: I think I got caught in the bit again

This is hardly a surprise. When you adopt an anti-communist stance, you pave the way for unhealthy social trends to takeover, which increases the moderation workload considerably, and forces you into an unsustainable method of operating. Perhaps the decay has finally reached a stage advanced enough to send them back to the likes of Silicon Valley centralized models.

Hexbear has survived all this time because, like China, has been engaging in self-reform to address the problem of rise and fall. So long as Hexbear continues this path, it will continue to go the distance.

The other big instances that are here today may not be in a few months, or years. Fascinating to see from a dialectical perspective.

The chud bible:

• Horseshoe theory
• Double genocide theory
• The black book of communism
• Whataboutism
• 
• 

No fucking way. You're telling me I can have an awesome place like this: Apartment Tour in China | What can $300 a month get you? 🇨🇳
As well as enjoy better freedoms like these?: Things You CAN Do in China (You CAN'T Do in America) Americans WON'T Believe It...
