"i don't think whoever gets to win, or to lose, nor whoever wins or loses, will win. Or lose. Everybody's going to lose." - Rousseff, Dilma. When getting couped out of Brazilian presidency.

It's out of context, but one of my favourite quotes ever. I've never seen it translated.

I'm reading the murderbot series and the light bringer series. And about to start the latest on the bobiverse. At some point I want to go back to Asimov's.

You can probably see a pattern there.

It doesn't, though.

The problem is the institution, not the nice people that think being a cop is a good way to make societies better.

There's shitty cops, and the command chain that does nothing about it. That's the problem.

Antagonising common peoples dads, and the people trying to be nice cops,and failing, is not the way.

We have to point at the right problem. And if you point at the corrupt chain of command nice cops will back you up.

Something similar could be said about hamas' flood operation. That it achieved nothing (much), other than zionists fury.

Hopefully his sacrifice, from his own in-empire position, could get some political traction? Unlikely, but not impossible, I think.

Edit: in parenthesis

I know I could duckduckgo it, but I think we're at the stage at lemmy where there's space to ask basic questions.

What is it? Why does it matter? Users at which lunix proficiency level should care about it? Is it just yet another competing standard or is x actually going to die?

Best part about the whole capitalist contradictions thing is that it seeds the conditions to it's own replacement.

"China on track to complete the building of 1000 Hamas bases in Iraq".

Fixed it for you. /s

I don't think 42 upvotes represent how historical is that speech. Am I being too optimistic?

Lemmy, federation and activity pub have taken my brain to some weird places in these last few months.

What if the world had a federated, activity pub based, passenger transport and delivery app?

Anyone with enough tech literacy to have their own WordPress blog could also start their own local (as in, for their neighbourhood) instance of uber/lyft/doordash, effectively for free. Moderating and establishing quality and trust between customers and providers on their own communities.

Customers could use fronted like jerboa to add as many local instances as they'd like. Or drivers could subscribe to multiple sources of passengers. Or, anyway, networks between restaurantes, delivery and customers.

Some form of opencollective project/format could be use to fund development teams working on it.

I know it's a huge endeavour. Can you please challenge my initial thoughts? Is the logic sound? What am I missing? Do you know of anything like it?

Is this the borderline hatespeech people complain about, from us?

Barely sounds like a call for violence... Even if the imagery it invokes in the brain is uncomfortable.

Have you seen people overrate "common sense"? That's it.

Don't think deeply, go for common sense, disregard the specialists, we can't understand their areas of study, therefore they are lying.

Also, avoid studying humanities: history, philosophy, sociology, politics. That will make you poor! Stay technical and mathy, don't worry about anything else other than making money! Have a life project! Get rich!

That's the anti intellectual speech.

Who benefits from the smart peoples of the world not questioning the status quo, and the building blocks of capitalism?

Next step is to criminalize FOSS more broadly for unfair competition against corporate software.. Amazing.

Available on plain rss https://anchor.fm/s/e8b6108c/podcast/rss too

Also, please send me suggestions for articles I should add there, because I have no idea how to approach curation of that library.

Any other feedback is appreciated.

Edit: I just found this https://lemmygrad.ml/post/6319. Looks excellent! I'll work on getting it through.

Edit 2: and then I'll probably come this way: https://dessalines.github.io/essays/dessalines_marxism_study_plan.html

Edit 3: I'll also play with the order, because it feels like a good idea to mix introductions for multiple subjects, so that it feels a little less repetitive. Even though... can't do much about the dryness of AI speech.

Most technology, programming languages and frameworks feel just the same, in a professional environment. Majority of web and apps is so simple that literally anything will do. Simple api consumption, simple database crud stuff. The tech stack doesn't matter that much.

Polish media has a superficial take, and we know "far left" is meaningless without context.

I'd appreciate if any comrades have suggestion, material or overview about the situation there.
