Redox OS?

Well at least you didn’t hack a Gibson

I swear I’ve seen either Zero Cool or Acid Burn around here somewhere.

Hmm I’ll look into those. I managed to loan a tent off a friend for the festival I want to attend this month so my tent buying will likely happen next year or even later, meaning I now have more time to consider options. Bergfreunde.eu seems to sell them in Europe so at least I don’t have to find a kiwi to ship me one.

I found a bunch of obscure movies from the 1930s and 1940s when a friend asked for some. I’m still seeding them. And I do mean obscure, not like Citizen Kane or something that everyone knows.

As the other commenter said, likely from China. The US banned exports of the super high-end chips to China IIRC, but not low-end stuff. And India is known to sell anything to anyone as well.

It’s also slightly cheaper (per unit) to manufacture a million phones vs ten thousand.

Here in Estonia you have to be 18 to buy alcohol free beer and wine. The idea being “hey maybe let’s not get kids used to the flavour of drinks that are bad for them to be consuming even once they ARE 18”

I’m having trouble telling if the poster is AI slop or the entire picture is.

The box of Budweiser looks 99% fine to me (bear in mind, I’m not American so I don’t know if that’s what it looks like), but the text on the close edge of the top side of the box looks weird to me. Buuut it could also just be compression artifacts.

It’s also probably mostly BlackRock index funds. Which means tons of retail investors are part of this ownership.

All that work has paid off for China.

True, they’re minting new billionaires faster than any other country in the world.

Interesting, and I thought it was the workers who generated the wealth. Perhaps it should not belong to them after all then. Why tax the billionaires at all if they’re the ones generating the wealth?

They side with the weak to obtain power, but as CGP Grey said, the keys for keeping power aren’t the same as the keys for obtaining power. You usually turn your back on whoever helped you win once you’re in power, particularly if you’re a dictator (and let’s be honest, “dictatorship of the proletariat” is still dictatorship of the vanguard over the proletariat)

Yes, exactly like the working class in the US controls the government and holds the reins of the economy.

embracing some limited capitalism

They were embracing some limited capitalism last century. They’re fully capitalist now, minting more brand new billionaires every year than any other country. Per capita the US still has more, but not for long. China’s working with some pretty bad inequality.

I wonder if that dazzle camo used by manufacturers for testing prototype cars would work. I wouldn’t mind getting something like that on my car

Sorry, was mistaken, only 5% of farmland is corporations. The average farm size is still fucking massive though. Over 440 hectares/1100 acres. That’s a LOT of land and essentially it’s still capitalism, the capital being the land and machinery. Like around 4 million dollars worth of land on average per farm. That means the bigger family farms are likely sitting on tens of millions worth of land.

There are also around 400k documented seasonal immigrant workers helping those farmers every year, as well as who knows how many undocumented ones that nobody pays taxes on. So I have my suspicions that most of the family farms aren’t mostly worked by said families.

The capitalist and the farmer are the same person tbh. Most US food supply is corporate farms now, not small time farmers.

without seeing a single non-cgi frame

I know what you mean, but they’re all cgi frames in the game too lol

Road cars hadn’t had glass lenses in a decade, a decade and a half ago.

I don’t remember the last car with glass lenses I saw, but it must’ve been an 80’s or early 90’s model.
