I use neovim btw

Hey, idk why I didn’t respond to your comment back then. I just wanted to say that it’s of good quality, with good stats I wasn’t familiar with myself

From an older comment of mine:

And despite the corrupt character[,] AES brought forth massive progress in all fields of society. Free education up to university for everyone who didn’t slack at school. Millions of emancipated people learned to read for the first time ever. Massive scientific progress. Access to culture for millions. Making things like theatre, operas, ballet, cinema and chess accessible (and affordable !) for the masses. Making sure everyone had a place to work, sleep, smth to eat and clean water. Giving women the right to work, vote, choose whom or even if to marry, to go through life unveiled and just generally choose their own lives.(but this is one of the errors again. Patriarchal social structures were still kept and social conservatism took hold, which is why women rarely if ever had the rly high positions and were barred from the military f.e.) Making sure every child had a place at a crib or kindergarten. Making good quality healthcare accessible to all free of charge. Including vaccinating even the furthest regions, that had never even seen a doctor before.

[…]

TL;DR: dismissing state socialism [and thus planned economies] as “something that didn’t work for the people” is disingenuous and disregards the fact that it did work and that, despite its flaws, it worked for hundreds of millions of people.

[…]

And all that without exploitation that is required for capitalism to get even close to that (e.g. China rn). Historically centrally planned economies struggled at larger scales (which is why decencralizing/devolving into regions might have been a good remedy). But they excelled at creation of industry or rather primitive capital accumulation but without all the horrible effects capitalism had at those stages.

Computers at our advancement lvl change all that or rather make them even more feasible

uuu thx

I’m in my early 20s 💀

I just looove how ppl believe that switching from one VC-funded centralised corpo platform to another VC-funded (slitghly less) centralised corpo platform is a good thing /s

Just because it’s (partially) OSS doesn’t make it good. The corp still hold all the power and might sell out, but at least they got free volunteers to program for them so the C-level could get more money!

(Now don’t tell me that Bluesky is “federated”. They still hold all the power over site rules and moderation. The only little concession you get is that you are allowed to host your own data)

Apparently virtue signaling about pseudofederation is enough for libs to “get hope for the future of the internet” while they happily lick the boot of yet another centralized “trust me bro this isn’t going to eshittify itself, not this time” corp

nothing in particular, I was just taken by surprise that a Roblox meme was in my feed lol

This is the first time I’ve seen a Roblox meme template 💀💀

So ppl switching from one VC funded centralised corpo platform to another VC funded (slitghly less) centralised corpo platform is a good thing?

big X here
