Substinence farming fucking sucks, you’re going to be on the field all day long in the summer in order to have enough food to get you through the winter. Hobbyist gardening gives you best of both worlds - you have a nice patch of land to play in, and at the end you get a handful of produce to show off to friends and family.

Why is discord so popular in non-gaming circles? People use it as a shitty, bloated and centralized IRC clone, with the voice fuction being completely ignored.

Even animals patrol and defend their territory. Why should human be any different? If anything else, borders are an improvement over constant skirmishes and raids where two different ethnic groups meet.

EDIT: Interesting how you completely ignored the “Borders are a solution to constant ethnic clashes” part of my comment

A lot of tankie seething ITT, here’s a pic of Cauceascu getting BTFO’d for you to take home.

Little Jimmy won’t give a fuck how he was born unless we give him shit about it. And believe it or not, people who have enough money to afford artificial wombs do not contribute to overpopulation.

Defederating brigaders and trolls is necessary to maintain a healthy community. If your instance is defederated from all major instances, perhaps you should look examine what sort of company you keep.

These records should have been in the public domain many years ago. Copyright law needs a thorough reform

E, if it doesn’t have a suitable hole I’m making one.

Dongle mp3 players were super cheap, you could get one for basically free in the early aughts.

I know that making networks out of duct tape and bubblegum is a point of pride in the Linux community, but if you have to store vital data, wouldn’t a nice hardware NAS and a RAID array be a better solution?

So now that we have removed the distraction of cell phones, we can get kids to focus on - what exactly? A curriculum that favors rote memorization, where children cannot even relieve themselves without an authority figure allowing them to do so, where they are forced to sit still for hours to better prepare them for mind numbing, pointless office jobs, and where we can teach them skill that were obsolete 30 years ago, and will be even more once they hit the job market?

Abolish kid prisons.

Yugoslavia was a market economy in eastern europe under socialism.

There was a limited amount of pseudo-private “workers collective” (OOUR) companies starting from the mid 70s all the way to the breakup. It was certainly not a market economy in any meaningful way. The entire economy was propped up by foreign loans, which was a cause of so much inflation that the currency had to be re-adjusted twice, starting from the late 60s.

No love for flatpaks?

I don’t get Ska hatred. It’s fast, punky dance music for alternative clubs, you have to go out of your way to be exposed to it. It’s not like its being continually replayed on “Billboard’s top 20 hits” radio stations.

Even if the data collection software was perfectly informed in regards to goods and services (very doubtful) it is still a bad idea to put the reins of economy into the hands of a few people. Consolidation of state power and the power of capital into a single entity has resulted in totalitarian regimes. Even the examples listed are basically exemplars of everything bad about modern corporations. Putting politicians in charge of such a system won’t automatically make it a force for good.

Planned economies are grossly inefficent, a handful of planners creating chains of production results on an economy that works only on paper.

Marxism works as a critique of lassiez-faire capitalism, but as a standalone system always results in the creation od totalitarian regimes. A well regulated market economy, with publicly funded infrastructure and services has the best of both worlds.
