My experience with him is unusual since the only thing I read of his works was his treatise on writing, a sort of memoir in which he recounts his experience with writing and work ethic.

I’ve been using their service for two years now. It’s open source and encrypted, and the upload speeds exponentially improved.

The Garden of the Finzi-Continis by Giorgio Bassani. Although initially I couldn’t grasp much of what was happening in the prologue, as I progress it grows on me more and more.

Works fine for me. You can open an issue on Github.

Throwback to when they announced releasing a simple phone. Fun times.

The term “social democracy” is very deceiving nowadays since it does not pertain anymore to the roots of the ideology which has changed quite drastically in the last century.

The original premise was that socialism could be achieved through reform and not revolution (hence it parted ways with the Marxist position). That is, the State’s institutions were suitable enough to “eventually” or “some day” lead to a socialist mode of production, and so cooperation with the state and, by extension, the bourgeoisie were incremental for socialism. This is why socdem parties were firm believers that change comes from the parliamentary electoral structure (Esson, 2022). I am not going to argue why this is problematic—Marx and Engels have said enough regarding this.

However, social democracy as we know it in the modern age is vastly different from what it used to be. The ideology in the 70’s has become attached to the Third Way and socdem parties throughout the world gradually adopted neoliberal policies, pressured by electoral competition. And the Scandinavian countries, home of social democracy, are an exemplary case to this. Just compare their parties’ agenda before and after WW2 and you will see what I am talking about.

To refer to “social democracy” as anything less than capitalism would be factually fallacious.

The existence of lemmy.world which you’re part of, proves that lemmy tolerates right-wing instances if you ask me.

Make use of the decentralized nature of lemmy, the devs won’t knock at your door for creating or posting on right-wing instances.

And most chapters are basically one-page, easily digestible passages, so it isn’t a hard read.

Soccer in Sun and Shadow by Uruguayan journalist Eduardo Galeano. The passion in which he recounts the sport’s history from its modest inception up to its consumerist rebranding, and the vividness in which he describes its beautiful moments and dismal tragedies, is simply breathtaking. Galeano’s words on paper capture the art of the sport better than any camera and TV screen.

I will be writing and posting a review of the book once I am done reading it.

No, I am not the dev. Perhaps I should’ve clarified this.

“evil corporation” is quite the tautology.

I am intrigued to know what is the original message.

I see myself blowing up a pipeline.

Were you blasted with radiation which caused a bunch of booleans to flip in all your devices?

I live in Fukushima btw /s.

I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but those magnetic waves man, the government is onto something o_O

donations are not theft lol 😄

Hey I know you have “drama” with them but the PrivacyGuides community is solely centered around the concept of technical privacy, non-contextualized, and is agnostic to every other topuc. They’ve criticized (if not attacked) many FOSS projects but only from the lens of privacy and so I would understand their sometimes odd behavior. That being said, it would be unbiased of you to accuse them with such conspiracy theories.

On the other hand, I’m perplexed by the fact that they prominently use the spyware crap that Reddit is for communications.

Lemmy will never win such a race to the bottom. It should not.

Perhaps so. We sometimes get blinded by the desire to expand indefinitely, but I’m content with the current activity on lemmy and the slow yet sure growth.

I’m still researching what OS will be ideal for me when in the close future and it seems until now it’s ubuntu (or kubuntu), but I will make sure removing snap is the first thing to do.
