This is clear case of capitalism at its most advanced stage: monopoly capitalism. The competitive system that produces winners and losers will inevitably progress towards the concentration of capital in the hands of the few. There is no point in creating inaccurate terminology such as “techno-feudalism” when Marx and his intellectual successors had already studied this phenomenon in depth.

Why do you feel offended by the fact that another instance wants to ensure a safe space for its users?

TIL that containing a zionist infestation is a petty war.

Third time’s the charm eh

The imperial core is harder to break because the material contradictions are well dissimulated. Modern Western societies have been historically maintained by the abundance and welfare that is provided from the subjugation and colonization done overseas (this welfare is shrinking as we speak and the European proletariat and subalterns are getting more conscious of the contradictions as we speak). Their democracies, human rights, constitutionalism and all of their institutions are dependent on the bloodshed abroad, which the average citizen rarely perceives beyond the obfuscated facades set up by the bourgeois press and media.

On the other hand, the colonies that were set up by the Europeans showcased the most advanced stages of capitalism and fascism before they were properly introduced in Europe. It was a case of imperialist dominance and not mere hegemony, which unashamedly flaunted its contradictions.

Scratch a liberal something something.

It’s not about the users per se but the admin team whixh is adamant on appeasing zionists.

The discontent is directed at the admin team which is incessantly equating criticism to Israel as antisemitism.

I’m also pretty sure that feddit-bashing won’t improve the life of a single Palestinian one bit.

We should always fight conflation between antisemitism and anti-zionism, the favorite tool of zionists to dissimulate their heinous acts in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon.

“AI-generated” works can be copyrighted. However, on the condition that the AI-generated elements are explicitly mentioned in the “Excluded Material” field. In other words, the parts generated by AI are not protected, only the parts that are expressed by human creativity. Courts in the U.S have already rejected registration for many AI works because of that. Regardless, it’s still a contentious matter.

P.S. I am completely opposed to (generative) AI as well as the copyright system. I’m just stating my findings researching the law and court cases.

Currently reading it, I’m so excited for the plotline.

Question, how do you find time to read so many books in one month? Do you rely on audiobooks? It’s impressive either way.

It’s poisoning my brain at a faster rate.

I’ve been using Cromite (fork of Bromite) for a year or two and the dev has only been consistent with pushing updates.

LibreOffice can be very customizable. I made it look and function very similar to Word. Also there is an online forum and faq on which users help each other.

It’s not privatization per se, the state company will still operate normally, though not under a monopolistic framework.

A private company “will assume full management of the activities at its own expense, account, and risk, after demonstrating its financial and technical capacity through a business plan approved by” the nation’s Oil Ministry, according to the law. The legislation provides that ownership of the hydrocarbon reservoirs on which a company will carry out activities remains vested in the state.

Though what I think is more flagrant from the articles I’ve read is that disputes between the state and oil companies will be resolved by international arbitration and not state courts, which undermines Venezuelan sovereignty.

It’s definitely a law that was promulgated under pressure by the US administration.

There is a neat interview by Breakthrough News regarding this topic. Basically, Scandinavian companies participate in imperialism by outsourcing their labour to third world countries where they could exploit cheap labor and bypass the labor regulations in their own countries of origin. This is a phenomena that is common to all deindustrialized economies that boast about their progressive laws when in reality they are dissimulating exploitation done elsewhere.

I guess it’s this time of the year when we forget that this sycophant is a right-wing sympathizer.
