It’s possible for them to tell the computer to shutdown when the battery is getting low
Stop by the news megathread sometime and see/ask for yourself. You probably won’t agree with a lot of stuff (and even that’s partly cause there’s layers of irony caked onto the walls), but it’s not quite as bad as you think.
I’m more annoyed with the people who reply to this low-effort garbage
lemmy.ml is nominally leftist, so an anticapitalist text dump is in-bounds, I believe
It’s a coincidence
I think the model that you’re referring to is generally more applicable to hardware, but since you can make free copies of an app, Uber for instance can keep things low cost till they eat the competition
I mean it was nonsense to think it would solve your costs, but streaming is superior to cable TV from a tech standpoint for sure.
People should expect that yeah, new software is cheap when it’s rolled out, but it’s gonna get more expensive as time goes on, but I can understand why that wasn’t quite as apparent to people 10 years ago as it will be 10 years from now
It’s overly amplified by liberal propagandists, but there’s at least enough of a connection to make a note of
By that measure, Xi is also implicated
I see your point, but that’s a topic that should be up for discussion among your hypothetical Party/legislature. I don’t think it has a clear answer.
You don’t see his pandering to the EU as stumbling backwards into this whole situation in the first place?
I understand that it comes across as provocative, but from what I understand about his (attempted) maneuvering over the past couple years, he’s kind of a spineless and weak leader who trusted the wrong side and got his country embroiled in a massive conflict.
NATO and the US are not trustworthy allies, and they let him talk up "Ukraine joining NATO ", a very dangerous thing to do, but I don’t believe they had any intention of letting them in at any point. Zelensky should have understood this.
Damn was there nowhere to evacuate to? (Makes sense being an island and all)
Edit: damn first thing tiktok shows me is people getting into the water while everything burns around them
(not a liberal, but) The infrastructure bill was mediocre but should lead to some improvements over the next decade or so.
They recently protected some indigenous land from uranium mining.
Ummmmmmm, anything else after the last 3 years or so?

(I use Arch btw)
The Chinese government stacks the cards though it actually has the capability to use some toothpicks to hold them in place, and will immediately rebuild it things start to fall apart.
To contrast, the US will flounder and pull their one “low interest rates” lever while having a political blowout over some sort of stimulus funding package that probably won’t pass.
My bad for the lack of reading before replying
They will be locked up against their will, unfortunately (until a future society figures out something better)
They don’t need to be forced to stamp license plates under socialism (prison abolition can’t happen under capitalism ofc), but if work were available to them they could receive a fair wage. That would not be slavery, it would be imprisonment, i guess (did I contradict my original point? Idk Maybe, but I still see it as fundamentally different than how a “prison” is defined in the 2020s).
Also “prison abolition” doesn’t need to be literal, it’s just a goal to work towards over many generations. Is it even viable? Who knows, but it’s not gonna get figured out during our lifetimes anyway. In the meantime, we can start to restructure our society in a way that will minimize the scale of prisons, and maybe our grandchildren will find a way to phase them out totally, but that’s their problem.
In contrast to many others coming over from my instance, I’d say the outright “support” of the PRC is not really my thing, to say the least. My comrades won’t admit this directly, but a lot of that energy is indeed contrarian-posting for funsies, although several are genuine.
That said, it is incredibly important to carefully analyze the country as a socialist, because for a minute there they were successful in overthrowing capitalism (kinda what we all want)!
Many good and bad things have happened since then under the leadership of the Communist Party. We should carefully analyze these decisions, particularly after analyzing the historical context in which they occurred. We also need to critically evaluate our sources of information, since I hope that we can acknowledge that Western powers have a vested interest in seeing the continuation of the capitalist system. If most of your sources are in English, they will generally be heavily slanted against the anti-capitalist movements.
I think that your way of calling the country “fascist” exposes that your analysis is incomplete. The Chinese government is, in fact, flawed, but why? Fascism means something very specific, and the flaws in the PRC are not the same as what you see in 1930s Italy and Germany. The historical contexts, and economic structures under which they operate are very different.
Been telling y’all the past couple weeks lol
I disable it wherever native dark mode is supported but damn if I’m gonna blast my eyes with a white background awhen I’m browsing after 10pm
