Neo whisper-screaming into the phone: “Oh shit, oh shit!”

Morpheus smiling: “Yes 🤗”

They gave a few examples of things that require maintenance (like a house), but that doesn’t really cleanly apply to software. They also gave examples like books that can be considered “complete”. Software is more like the latter, it can absolutely be finished after it completes what it set out to do.

I’ve read some Goldman, and remember it being entirely utopian and idealist.

Overall a great video, and she did go over this a bit, but it should be stressed that our participation should be limited to

• Supporting our own candidates in our own working-class parties (IE not the democrats or any capitalist party). These “bourgeios socialists” like AOC, bernie, and mamdani, are not educated enough to realize that by calling themselves “socialists” while running in a capitalist party, they’re watering down the definition to mean just a more equitable sharing of the imperial spoils. None of them are advocating ending the US war machine.
• that it should be used only as a platform to spread socialist ideas, which of course can’t come about through the system of bourgeios democracy.

A common tactic of US imperialist and western supremacist socialists, is to ignore the history of the failure of capitalist-party-entryism, especially in the imperial core. Lenin’s advice to the british communists stressed both above, and still ultimately didn’t work out, due to the bribery of the labor aristocracy from the spoils of imperialism.

Some of the essays in social reproduction theory are great, but its kinda all over the place. There’s no real theme linking the book together, just like 20 random essays on whatever the different writers wanted to talk about. iirc two essays are really great, and do a solid materialist analysis.

Creation of the patriarchy isn’t bad, but its not a materialist analysis… it focuses more on ideology: the symbols and systems used by all the world’s religions which became dominant in the feudal era, to entrench feudal patriarchy. There are only a few phrases in the massive book which talk about production in any way.

Caliban in the witch is a great book.

I highly recommend Lise Vogel - Marxism and the Oppression of Women. It does a historical survey of what marxists up to the 1980s thought about the domestic labor debate, as well as being entirely materialist analysis.

Ghodsee is a western supremacist liberal, not a communist.

1. Don’t de-link from the world market. We can’t really blame the USSR for the cold war, and the US successfully alienating them from the rest of the world, but there were times in the USSR’s history when overtures could have been made, especially to non-aligned countries.
2. Don’t shy away from a market economy; create a socialist market economy that serves the people. People love treats, and if the capitalist world is able to give them treats, and you aren’t, then people will lose faith in your system over time.
3. Make sure the military and intelligence forces are controlled by the party, politically educated, and vigilant against opportunists and careerists.
4. Don’t get involved in war quagmires, or fund revolution abroad. The US set many traps the USSR fell into, and used its larger resources to force the USSR to drain its economy and focus too many material and human resources on the military, which isn’t a productive sector. In a poker game where your opponent has more chips, and forces you to pay a high ante, you should always fold except with the strongest of hands. After you get nukes, you can just always fold and never pay any ante, as has been proven by the PRC and DPRK.

The PRC and other socialist countries have mostly addressed these.

The leet-code and AI bubbles are bursting. Plus nearly every industry in the west has high-turnover now. You work there a few years max, get burnt out, then they make room for fresh grads who will work for less.

Without getting into the specifics: China has no reason or desire to alienate most of the world, they want friendly relations more than anything else. Here’s the US’s proven mass surveillance record, so they should not be trusted when it comes to making claims against their enemies.

US tech companies have had a near monopoly over social media, operating systems, and hardware dev, making these claims nothing more than projection, in an attempt to alienate the PRC from potential allies as part of the US trade war against China.

Also a bonus vid about the Chinese firewall and why they rightly don’t allow US surveillance state platforms to operate inside China, and no country should.

I spose since orwell was a british troop in burma, he’s only a few decades early for this.

They used this in vietnam w/ the phoenix program to help identify and kill a lot of people.

Oops, sry missed this one. jdtls , the java language server that works with vim / neovim / helix, and the kotlin-language-server don’t work with android libraries.

I’ve tried and failed at it, many times. You pretty much have no choice but to use android studio. There is a vim plugin for it at least.

I’m trying it now, seems okay so far. I tried it a few months ago and it was unusable, so it’s improved.

Yeah its not clear to me what matrix 2.0 is either, seems like spec changes? Nothing here about synapse (the python matrix server), or the go one.

mysql -> mariaDB

Also what does he mean that women and girls practiced abortion? was abortion culturally accepted in eastern europe during that time?

It must have been, and I’m guessing that there was a lot of anti-abortion discourse around rejuvenating the fatherland, just like reactionaries tend to do everywhere.

Try asking the maintainers for clarification or an update on anything. They’re gone.

I used to do this, but todo.txt is a dead format now unfortunately, the maintainers left a long time ago. Tasks.org is where its at, open-source, sync how you want, tagging, recurring tasks.
