I honestly hope this will play better on the Deck than GW2.

As usual, what a intelligent observation from a talking vegetable.

I prefer “IPS”, In Physical Space, and “IVS”, In Virtual Space

May I introduce you to kelvins?

Which comes back to my main argument: both have failed, so either both are bad, or we have a people problem instead of a system problem.

• 1921-1922 (Povolzhye, or Volga famine), 5-10 millions dreath
• 1932-1933 (Holodomor), 3.5 to 7 millions death in Ukraine alone
• 1930-1933 (Asharshylyk), 1.5 million deaths (seem small, but that was 40% of then Kazakhstan population)
• 1932-1933 (at the same time than the Holodomor, but in Russia) : 1 to 2 millions deaths
• 1946-1947: 1 to 1.5 millions deaths

And that’s only those who were big enough to be impossible to hide completely.

All of them have something in common: the central government minimised them, and tried to hide them. Some weren’t even acknowledged until after the USSR fall. All of them are a combination of bad luck (war, drought) combined with hasty decisions which made what could have been a hard year a generational disaster.

Both having a form of free market doesn’t make it suddenly good for one side and bad for the other.

Some sort of free market is good, so new idea can brew, some of them being one day attempted, other won’t because it ends up either not getting traction, or would very obviously fail after some research.

Problem is with too much planning is that it doesn’t give as much place for innovation, as well as put too much weight on a single point of failure. That played a good part in the USSR famines, like the holodomor, which was then further aggravated by their unwillingness to admit they fucked up, blaming it on other factors. But if they had learned from their mistakes, it would have improved, but unfortunately those very same error were repeated multiple time (see the multiple famines the USSR faced while strangely their western counterparts did not).

And I’ll pass on the other similar failures (Chernobyl, among other), that follow the very same pattern.

Of course, the USSR had some very clear wins, like the first part of the race to space, and others.

The USSR could have been a success if their leader weren’t selfish idiots, which os a shame since I’d rather live in a good cummunism regime than a good capitalism regime.

I always worked toward such ideals, I contributed to some open-source project (Gnome, KDE, mostly translation, bug report, but also some packaging for OpenSUSE and Fedora.

I’m a bit tired of those who blindly follow ideologies without having the intellectual honesty to recognize where said ideology fucked up and where it was great. Do I have to be called a social-traitor for every reflection on communism or socialism? I doubt Marx would be happy to see those he tried to enlighten sheepishly follow whoever yell the loudest… Even if they yell parta of what he tried to teach them.

That was part of my philosophy class, the book is probably still at my father house.

Already done, lot a good ideas, some ideas I don’t agree with, but an enlightening read nonetheless.

The part I disagree the most about are free competition.

Communism by itself isn’t bad, nor is capitalism, but both assume that their proponents are immune to greed, and that their opponent are full of it.

There are good things in both, bad things in both. The problem is to find people that are truly altruistic, and that have the moral fortitude to stay altruistic.

Edit: y’all can downvote all you want, I’ll stand by my opinion unless someone has the honesty to argue on that.

As a personal example of Samsung reliability, my 11 years old samsung SSD is still kicking, despite being used as a cache for my Truenas homelab for half of it. This thing will outlive me 😆

Welcome Frenchfrynoob.

Funnily, my american friends do call me French Fry too, but because I’m French myself 😆. I call them freedom fries (a joke that dates back to France refusal to follow the US in Irak)

What do you dislike about the new one?

Firefox do fake your GPU model, yes.

That’s part of the tracking protection. You still need to tell that you do have a GPU, for various reasons (hardware acceleration, etc.), so it provides a generic one, the same for everyone, so it cannot be used for tracking.

They do know you are on a mobile phone, due to your screen size and touch input, which are data points your browser automatically reports, even in desktop mode.

Looks to me more like a Russian Blue. Chartreux cats have a shorter snout.

Maybe not. May be a half bread, or simply a SIC with chartreux ancestry. Definitive got the eyes and round head of a Chartreux.

Only if you don’t check when you update your deps.

Did the same on my Ruby half a year ago. Fun times.
