I’ve read Principles of Communism already but I’m not sure how it connects to the topic of commodity production specifically, perhaps I need to give it a reread. I’ll check out Dialogue with Stalin at some point, since my only knowledge of commodity production in Socialism comes from this short Hakim video. At around 8 minutes he starts talking about how the material conditions of past revolutions influenced their economic strategy and why they had to engage in commodity production as the most viable option, although he does dismiss international revolution as unrealistic without really going into why. Overall, I feel like the argument the video makes is cohesive though, so would you have any arguments against it?

Are you a leftcom? I feel like that last paragraph is a common leftcom opinion, and I’m curious to hear why you think it’s a falsification. I don’t think MLs believe that socialism should remain in one state at all, just that it’s a stepping stone to an international revolution.

Yeah. Anarchist leftism achieves… um… wait, what has anarchism achieved again?

(I’m just messing around)

Just wanna say that Blindisght and Westworld (at least S1, I stopped after) are awesome

That animation style scares the hell out of me

It’s a Legion Pro 5 with RTX 4070

I’m still drilling it into my own lol

Good point. I’ve been eyeing Fedora KDE for the next distro I want to try out, and I’ve heard that’s among the most up-to-date distros that’s not straight-up rolling release

That you don’t actually have to do everything perfectly, doing more things but 80% correctly is usually better

I agree but isn’t this off-topic to the comment you’re replying to?

I looked at Winboat’s website, and it seems really interesting but as an engineering student idk if it’s a good idea to take the risk of running a WIP software to access it. Plus, when I tried installing Linux last time (mint) it caused my trackpad, keyboard backlight, power mode options, and gpu/screen drivers to break (couldn’t run hdr, resolution locked to 1080p60, games only ran with integrated graphics). I know I can fix a good chunk of this is stuff on my own with downloading the right drivers/programs and enough time, but I don’t really want to spend any time doing that (and risk doing it incorrectly) since all my school work is on here

What makes you prefer Gnome? To me, it always felt too simple, as if they’re treating the user like a child learning how a computer works. I have the same issue with MacOS too

Can’t you access those with RPM Fusion or something? Whenever I’m able to switch back to Linux I’d really want to start daily driving Fedora

I’m curious as to why you chose OpenBSD over other FOSS OSes

YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP BABY (im still stuck on windows 11 because of CAD)

If someone like waffles, does that mean they must hate pancakes?

I had no idea the Fediverse was politically charged to the point of pulling shit like this. These kinds of people are like two steps away from making backdoors for the NSA because they think it will make the world a better place

I haven’t seen this in person but this is definitely still common. I’ve seen recently released movies that are still theater-exclusive this way (although on pirating sites not DVDs), it’s funny when I see some random dude walk in front of the movie recording and get reminded that it’s a physical recording of a screen lol

dude chill, i was asking because i don’t know anything about him

how so?
