“Israel [sic]…”

What no dialectical materialism does to a mf.

Tbh the whole online subculture of “RoK society is going to collapse” is really annoying to me. Nearly all of them are devoid of any class analysis and just serve to manufacture consent for a hot war against the DPRK.

The kuzyogurt (im not going to spell that right) video on South Korea’s birthrate is probably the most subtle way I’ve seen of slowly preparing people to accept RoK’s collapse into a fascist military state from a neoliberal capitalist one. Zero solutions presented just “hey we are going to die.”

In other words: westerners should shut up about Korea.

If you downloaded it in 2023 then it’s likely a really old version of Linux mint, I’d advise dowloading the latest release from their site and reflashing.

incredibly jealous.

Imagine being a losing contestant, getting your million american airline points, and then getting deported to el salvador anyway when you try to use them.

USAmerican culture is vacation, starbucks and cars.

they’re the people who push tankie, ccp bad rhetoric in your left spaces.

“The Department of Homeland Security receives hundreds of television show pitches a year,” she said in a statement. “Each proposal undergoes a thorough vetting process prior to denial or approval.”

Ah yes, homeland security involves reviewing slop television pitches.

The losing contestants will go home with “iconically American” prizes, including a million American Airlines points, a $10,000 Starbucks gift card, and a lifetime supply of 76 gasoline. They will also have a leg up as they undergo the traditional citizenship process.

The big winner, meanwhile, will get sworn in as an American citizen on Capitol Hill by “a top American politician or judge.”

edit:

But the Homeland Security secretary has remained unfazed by the criticism: “Every day I wake up and there’s new criticisms,” she told Fox News last month. “It’s something different every single day, so I try not to pay attention to the noise.”

there has not been a more fun time to use linux than today (and every day after today).

The caveat are games that require kernel level rootkits for their “anticheat” functionality. These are usually massive multiplayer games that have some emphasis on microtransactions and in-game gambling (think your league of legends and apex legends/fortnite).

Decades spent on the puter

chances are you’ve already benefited from collectively owned software and haven’t even realized it (silicon valley loves piggy backing open source)! Using a libre operating system just means taking onus of that fact and using it for your own ends from top to bottom. Really it’s just a gateway to being being even cooler.

windows in a virtual machine to play some games?

While this is possible. Chances are that most of your games are already playable through Valve’s efforts with proton. You can use apps like bottles to run them or just use Valve’s Steam client itself. Linux is nowhere near the state it was in only half a decade ago.

I can tell you from experience that I have been able to play modded fallout new vegas on Linux with mod organizer 2, so you just need to give it a shot. Protondb is a community database for games and there are always people willing to share their experiences on getting it to work with linux.

How about for emulators like duckstation and pcsx2?

Both are supported nearly on every Linux distribution. If you install Linux Mint, it’s as easy as going to the software center and downloading them from there.

moment.

feds are really good at their job or western leftists are the infantile wing of fascism.

Call it.

Reminder that they’re defunding the hummanities for this.

Most “gen z” things are just appropriated African American Vernacular English (AAVE). Other than that, it’s probably just a one-off thing.

If I ever wanted to ask a brit for their opinion on something I would let them know a few weeks in advance so their current brainworms will be replaced with new ones on a different issue.

while the US was second to last in a 2024 survey

: “healthcare pls”

: Haven’t you realize how humanity will be revolutionized you stinking luddite poors? Give it billions of more dollars.

: we will use this technology to advance to communism, if it doesn’t work, well, we have 100 other things we’re doing.

I finished blackshirts and reds in full!

US car culture is an ideology manufactured by the capitalist class who are shielded from its negative externalities.

The former USSR had a lot of brainworms about what capitalism was like.

ABC (anything but class) performative progressivism that gets outflanked by neo-cons and Donald Trump who use class rhetoric to their own ends.

The illegal dissolution of the USSR was one of the worst disasters in human history. Millions perished as the social safety net provided by socialism was carved up while communists of all stripes were persecuted.

This is part of my new summer goal to read theory by touching grass (audio books). I hope to be down Cowbee’s list by the end of summer and some more as well as produce writings of my own from it on how class and capital relations intersect with the field of computer science and engineering.

Next up: Georges Politzer’s Elementary Principles of Philosophy.

I don’t think its fair to compare Syria and the DPRK. The DPRK’s socialist model geared towards self sufficiency and close geographical and political ties with the former USSR and now Russia and China also factor into its success. The DPRK has already underwent a class revolution while Syria’s sovereignty hasn’t even been established.

RoK psyops against the DPRK dont work. Most people who illegally leave the DPRK do so for personal economic advantages in the similar fashion to why Chinese people travel to Europe or the US (except the US/Korean comprador class will kidnap and trap them and never allow them to safely go back which is what sets apart the DPRK and other global south nations).

China will hack them through back doors.

It’s the quarterly circus carnival of settler self flattery all over again. Once again Redsails’ Masses, Elites and Rebels is a must read.
