    Why does Lemmy.ML admire authoritarian regimes ?

  • I know it doesn't move towards communism, but it looks a hundred times more communist than Russia and China. Think away the money in socialist democratic countries and you can just work a 32-40 hour work week to receive housing, food, healthcare, social security, middle class luxury goods, etc. In socialist countries all of that is much more affordable with a normal job (and even during unemployment). It's like resources are already equally shared but they just have a monetary backbone.

  • You're describing what most people have from too much caffeine. So maybe your tolerance is just much lower. Or maybe you chug coffee like crazy.

  • Democratic socialism is a much better move towards communism than an authoritarian approach. Therefor Europe is already more communist than China and Russia.

    Mad, tankies?

  • There are many paths towards communism. China and Russia went with an authoritarian regime "to move towards Communism". This actually makes sense on paper because it requires quite a lot of power to actually change the whole system into communism. The tankies still believe this, but in reality their leaders are perfectly happy with all the power they now have.

  • Microsoft has an ambitious plan to win users back, and go toe-to-toe with Valve's SteamOS for gaming — but I'm not getting my hopes up

  • You know what's funny? The fact that they could have done this ages ago.

  • Previously awkward teens, how did you eventually figure it out?

  • It takes a while to learn how to not give a fuck about what people think of you. But in a respectable way of course. If you stop giving a fuck you can just be yourself. Took me at least until I was 25 before I could really be myself. Looking at the people around me that age can definitely be much lower or even higher though. I still care about what some people in my life think about me, and I try to live up to their expectations because I love them.

    Your idea of doing social activities is a pretty good idea too. Meeting all kinds of different people is a good way to get out of your shell and you'll automatically care less about what they might think of you because if it doesn't click with them that's perfectly fine and you can just continue your journey.

  • There's services that not only check for known VPN servers, but also for IPs in datacenter IP blocks. So using a VPS could in theory also be blocked.

  • Imagine what it took for them to look that way.

  • There has been a lot of marketing done towards non techies regarding charge speeds, so most common people do know about it. Plus most people will also just buy the one the companies will suggest or bundle.

    A little side thing that's also important is that in Europe the salespeople aren't simply trying to get you to buy their product with the highest markup, which means you'll get people that will actually look up your laptop and sell you a correct charger.

    Aftermarket crap is a thing though, but from what I've seen most people will understand it's because they bought cheap Chinese stuff.

  • Anti-cheat incompatibility on Linux is unacceptable from game developers and publishers — and Rocket League just proved why

  • I think it's only an issue as soon as there's money involved like in processional e-sports.

    Otherwise just report and move on.

  • Over 80 Chrome Extensions Found Selling Their Users Data - And It’s All Completely Legal

    Jump

  • You can probably port it to a userscript without much trouble, and then you can use it in every browser using a single extension/addon along with other userscripts (which you can easily read the source code and disable auto updates of). I use Violentmonkey and have written a few scripts. Development and usage is easier than extensions/addons for personal stuff.

    Personally I just use Dark Reader though.

    We Europeans are well aware because of the Chat Control that they are trying to push here.

    We have to be vigilant and fight every fight.
