He is narrowly defining the two terms specifically when it suits his argument, but none of these are socialist systems. Of course, he is ignoring the connection between socialist philosophy and these systems and the groups that fought for these systems and their ideology.

Why do you think I put quotations on those terms?
You should look into the Pinkerton’s and a lot of the horsecrap that was going on in the 1800s in a more purely capitalist system. There are systems that mix “socialism” with “capitalism” that work out pretty well. Socialist systems brought the broken capitalist systems out of the destitute poverty people were in, systems like Unions, New Deal policies and so many others. Regulation saved children’s lives in the early 20th century.
I agree that socialism has never worked, but neither has capitalism. It has ALWAYS been a mixed system that flourishes.
You’re correct. For example, me or my wife get “pre-annoyed” at the other. We are always in the wrong when we do it and it takes a couple of grown ups to understand that. I don’t agree with the childish mentality that you are in the right for being an asshole. Like, just treat people with respect and don’t take your ish out on other people. When you find yourself aggressive towards someone before they say anything, you are in the wrong and should reexamine your life.
Fixed. Even a horrible writer that rips off ancient Sumerian myth needs an editor.
At some point the bear would be killed and, seeing that his own end would come, the gorilla would go into an existential crisis and would go on a long quest to find out how to avoid death. This quest would, eventually, lead the gorilla to finding an old lab from the time of the humans. In this lab there would live an old chimpanzee that has survived countless ages. When asked how he long survived, the chimpanzee would explain that the humans discovered the secret to immortality.
Alas, when asked for directions on how to achieve the same, the chimp would tell the gorilla that the process was lost to the span of time. The secret, however, could be found by making a journey to the lowest depths of a sunken part of urban jungle, wherein an old lab sits. After acquiring the gear to survive, the gorilla would dive deep into the abyss, and would make it to the lab. In the lab, the secret would be discovered and he would make his way to the surface, victorious.
Alas, as the ape ascended, he would be beset upon by a large mutant fish. A monster so terrifying that even the non-descriptions of the human writer H.P. Lovecraft wouldn’t be able to do it justice. The gorilla would fight the monster and emerge victorious, but at a cost. The secret that he had spent so long pursuing would be destroyed. Lost to time.
The gorilla would go back to the urban jungle and marvel at the world that he and the bear had built. Resigned to his inevitable death, this urban jungle would stand the test of time as a symbol to all that came after, of the might of the bear and the gorilla.
As someone who lives in the Southeast US that works for a European company with children with their amazing mother who happens to be black, it is absolutely terrifying. The ignorance of people is absolutely astounding and terrifying. I have conversations with people I work closely with and even the ones who don’t support the insanity are very reticent to call a spade a spade. If we ever get out of this, the cleanup is going to take decades. How long is it going to take to repair our relationship with our former allies? Are my kids going to be safe? Do I pick up and move and hope for the best? I had someone wearing a don’t tread on me flag hat stare me down with disgust the other day while sitting with my family eating. How can this be happening in the open now? /endrant
Forgot about that. Think there are a few. Here is an example. https://github.com/osamuaoki/incus-ui-canonical
Edit: Here’s another. https://github.com/PenningLabs/lxconsole
I’m not sure about virt-manager, but there is Incus. I have a server coming soon that I am going to test it out on. https://github.com/lxc/incus.

This is what I use. I tried other ones, but this one is simple to set up and edit. It’s very clean and has a ton of widgets for services. I would like it to have a login option, but that isn’t a deal breaker.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Any people who speak Urdu/Hindi on Lemmy?
5·1 year agoUrdu is spoken in Pakistan and is a sister language of Hindi. They are very similar and there is a high degree of mutual intelligibility. It has some Arabic and Persian influence as I understand it.
Perhaps you might be thinking of the Ugaritic language. It was spoken in the Syria/Lebanon area.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Why Gen Z & Millennials are hung up on answering the phone
5·2 years agoI’m a millennial and I would rather communicate by phone for information dense things. It takes me forever to type things out on this tiny keyboard. I am a verbal processor though.That said I do ignore calls unless I know who you are or I see that’s its a work number. Ultimately, I think having both handy is useful. Text can be very useful when you want somebody to remember something or vice versa. It’s also quick when you are saying something simple.

9·2 years agoBefore that Greece, before that Persia, before that Assyria, before that Babylonia, before that Egypt, before that Sumeria… Sometime before that Cro Magnon Man. The list gets bigger; The Mongols, Timurids and other turkic groups like the Mughals, the Han…
Even specific to the British Isles (the Angles, Saxons and Jutes; then the Vikings; then the Normans (French descendants of Vikings).
In other words all roads don’t lead to Rome, it’s just a thing that humans do.

RetroGaming@lemmy.world•It's honestly good advice, but I much prefer original hardware when possible.English
3·2 years agoThis is similar to what I do. I have an old pixel 3xl and a Sunshine server running on my gaming PC. Moonlight is installed on the Pixel and I stream my games to it from the PC. I have a WireGuard VPN setup for when I am outside the house. It works very well!
Edit: Inside the house, I have a Rasbery Pi 5 with Libreelec installed which has a Moonlight addon as well for when I want to play on my big screen TV.

News@lemmy.world•Neo-Nazi Gang Affiliates Attacked a Mixed-Race Family in Martindale TX, but Only One Was Arrested
4·2 years agoI just don’t like the concept of race at all. We are all human, full stop. The concept is useful in understanding the realities of the world we live in with regard to how people are treated based on the concept, and it’s useful for working to fix/mitigate the damage to individuals and groups based on it. Other than that it is make believe and only serves to separate us based on make believe stereotypes.
Edit: I read about “double race” on Wikipedia, and if I understand it correctly, it has more to do with culture than with race in concept, but I still have reservations about splitting people up into broad categories and viewing that as an absolute.
BTW, I’ve been to Japan many times and they are not wholly welcome to outsiders, so I don’t know that I would base anything on that part of their system.

News@lemmy.world•Neo-Nazi Gang Affiliates Attacked a Mixed-Race Family in Martindale TX, but Only One Was Arrested
15·2 years agoHaving “mixed-race” (I honestly hate that term) kids, this is one of the things that I worry about living in the part of the South that I live in. They are still babies, but I worry about putting them in public school when it comes time. The direction that the country is going and the fact that people like this are so emboldened now is absolutely terrifying.
Edit: Was tired. Misspelled a word.


Do you have one? How well does it work? I’m interested in getting a Linux phone, but am worried it will be a waste of money.
