bro did not text the signal group chat about his Venezuela plans before doing it damn

Europe is kind of just a retired United States, the pension scheme is the us defense budget

I forgot about the 90s but yeah good point. I never heard of “shock therapy” before but seems interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_therapy_(economics) , seems like its a Retronym for describing IMF inspired market reforms. Good way to keep a country down :D

Theirs always an oxford study for them around the corner :D

white worshiping is the sign of a weak mind

I mean they don’t call it the Century of humiliation for nothing lol. Yeah Russia doesn’t make sense though.

I never got the hype from Open source supporters about RISC-V. Its a permissive license so any consumer use will end up with companies EEE into there own product line (Could you then patent that architecture?). Weirdly I feel like the ARM model where a central company licenses the chipset out to many companies is kind of better as atleast you get competition between chip designers. Main benefit here is companies who don’t have to pay licenses for the architecture

I feel like its a similar decision to why companies adopted linux over enterprise unix’s. Its kind of interesting how decentralized/open solutions are mostly used by companies versus the public.

bit of a hyperbole but if we didn’t stick to this shared dependency model for applications for so long we would already have the year of the linux desktop

hopefully more leftists/progressives will wake up about how trusting these companies with “censorship” and having closed source proprietary tech/platforms so entangled in our lives is a bad thing. Most in my experience just complain about how we need to tax them without really thinking about how we can disentangle them from our lives. The past 20 years have been this weird bubble where the largest creators of capital (silicon valley) were not explicitly sided with the auth right wing. People have gotten too use to this especially with personal data and just expecting the state to save them.

I like to think this will cause open source solutions and federated ecosystems to become more popular. Maybe i’m a doomer but we will just get more tiktoks about trump is bad and “late stage capitalism”. People I think just will never sacrifice convenience in life, its why authoritarianism seems to always win.
