I have a similar experience. I was saving up for a framework 13 for a general more ethical option, but that AI mini PC was extremely disappointing and got me more radicalized into free (libre) software as a consequence. Could you clarify the white supremacy and transphobia? I usually concern myself with strictly free software, so I’m unaware of such controversies.

I thought you were, so that’s why I asked you lol. Anyways, you’re 100% right. Workers blaming other workers that seem “different” as if there’s some kind of “normal” is hilariously ignorant until the working class starts attacking each other resulting in a kind of bourgeois illusion of “division” of conservative liberal and progressive liberal like in the US of crackers. In summary, it’s not something to be ignored.

positive leftist news, the deprogram podcast, comrades, and memes are a great escape from the doom and despair we usually focus on

Fascinating. From responses, I’ve realized it’s more of an interpretation matter rather than a strict bigotted message. If you don’t mind me asking, why did you leave evangelical Christianity and into what? I come from an already pretty secular upbringing, so I lack the experience of being in a religion to begin with.

thx

That’s a great view of religion. I believe most anti-religious discussion stems from a lack of understanding of the different interpretations of religious text, instead solely concentrating on the literary meaning as well as the predominant interpretation as a representative of the religion as a whole. You answered my question as well as many others on religion in an excellent manner. I also live in a predominately Muslim nation, but here in Lebanon I sadly haven’t seen such growth in community. If you don’t mind me asking, where have you seen the growth? Also, since we’re talking about interpretation, we have evidence of evolution and the big bang severely contradicting the religious explanation. Do you always take it in the sense of interpretation there?

Yea, the material circumstances surely are at play. My material circumstances is Lebanon where pretty much any sexuality not heterosexual is criminalized and highly unaccepted. From conversations had, it’s way easier to get through the less religious types. I come from a Muslim upbringing, but excluding most of my mom’s family, those that aren’t secular hold non-sectarian beliefs in the sense of a God and some Islamic-focused beliefs even though they would call themselves Muslim. Discussions with these types of believers will very quickly result in “What’s next, a dog?” or something like that, but after some very basic education they get a more neutral view and maybe later on, if they’re younger, a more accepting view. That’s not to say there aren’t any accepting Muslims from homophobic countries, they’re just very rare.

I haven’t heard that viewpoint before. As you mentioned, usually when the story is told, there’s a huge emphasis on the queer part which in their eyes usually justifies homophobia. I’ll re-read the tale and try to look at it from that angle.

Is it a missing feature that can be contributed to or this way for a reason?

I’m rocking a Thinkpad x200t running GNU boot bios and parabola GNU+Linux-Libre with DWM free from soystem-d and I program C and C++ in emacs

Very educational.

You mentioned that the PRC under Deng learned after the failiures of the USSR when Khrushchevist opportunists took over. However, I don’t see the correlation between that and a rushed transition into a planned economy.

Any decent person wouldn’t use brave.

Alright, I’ll make sure to read https://1lib.sk/book/116565577/4da96d/history-of-economic-management-in-north-korea-from-planned-economy-to-socialist-enterprise-system.html

Let’s say you want to have a photo for a project and you couldn’t find a stock or previous drawing and you don’t know how to draw, then sure, generate it using a self-hosted libre generator. At first, I came out defensive, but I read Artisanal Intelligence recommended by m532 and it change my perspective. I still feel truly attached to human art, but I’m not against the generators if they’re still self-hostable and libre.
