I know it's just a funny meme comic but Ive got a whole elaborate world in my head that I zone out to with all my favorite people and characters. I kinda thought it was something everyone did?

Im not really sure what instance to switch to. Lemmy.zip maybe? I just want to be able to interact with as many people as possible (until I'm banned or blocked ofc).

Anyone who has used rednote for over an hour knows Chinese people are:

  1. Aware of Tiananmen Square
  2. Able to acknowledge it as a tragedy
  3. Fully allowed to share that information

Sometimes I wonder if these kinds of views could be addressed with them simply meeting a nonbinary person?

I typically just call myself queer as opposed to nonbinary but I'm an amab on E for 4 years. I dress in comfortable clothing (usually an oversized mens shirt with whatever jeans or leggings I have). Fuck, I don't even shave regularly these days and I still get hit with fem identifiers whenever I go out. Surely I'd be "trans enough" for this person right?

If her line is just supporting needs, then she'd still be supporting my ability to get hormones right? She'd still be supporting the needs of nonbinary people who choose to get gender-affirming surgeries right? At that point, it just seems like a pointless gatekeep. "Oh you don't need any kind of medical treatment? Fuck you!" Huh? Why? What does this accomplish?

I uphold his theoretical contributions. My disagreements are everything after that.

Much appreciated comrade.

So honestly? I found the article to be somewhat sound. Despite my own personal gripes with everything bad being described as "deviation from maoism" or "trotskyism" and the rap stuff, I think they articulated their points well enough. I know as a Hoxha stan im supposed to declare ideological warfare with Maoists or some crap like that, but this was okay. Long winded and a bit cringe, but still fine. I've not read the other side of this though so maybe everything in this was a huge fabricated lie. I'll gladly waste hours of my time reading whatever people send me if that is the case.

I'm willing to hear them out, and I'm still reading, but jesus christ:

"Unfortunately for the (New) Communist Party of Canada, their recently published “(N)CPC-CC Reply to the OCR’s ‘Red Salute’” lacks the substance and swagger of those battle rap classics. Politically, it somehow manages to combine the pathetic posturing heard on J. Cole’s Might Delete Later with the unearned arrogance of Drake’s “Family Matters” in a sad attempt to attack the Organization of Communist Revolutionaries and the politics of the journal kites."

Edit: Oh god the whole article has rap quotes whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

"Maoism is the only true continuation of Marxism leninism!"

"NOOO ITS NOT! HOXHAISM IS!!!!!"

Audiophile cope in the comments is hilarious. A $30 pair of IEMs plugged into a 7 year old flagship phone is high enough quality that most people won't want anything crazier the rest of their life. A $150 pair of over ear headphones plugged into a cheap DAC from AliExpress is good enough to achieve full fidelity for anyone.

I can't wait until one of you nerds tries to tell me you can tell the difference between a flac and a 256kbps AAC file too.

Im a different flavor of communist than the folks you see on hexbear and grad. Not a stan of DPRK or China. Not fond of the later years of the USSR. I don't support modern day Russia in any conflicts it's involved in either.

 

More of a thought exercise/game than anything else. I saw the news that 486 support was getting cut from linux, and I was curious just how cheaply someone could replace a desktop 486 system with something new (provided the device had all the connectivity they needed).

Rules:

  1. Device must be able to run linux.

  2. Device should be cheap as possible. A good starting point is probably sub 40usd.

  3. The device must in someway support a mouse, keyboard, display, and the internet. If adapters are necessary for this connectivity, that cost should be included.

  4. Power supply should be included in the cost of the device. (in the case of most SBCs this is just the cost of a USB cable and wall wart)

  5. The device must be new & still in production. I know used devices like laptops would probably have been king here, but I don't think that would be nearly as interesting.

I suspect that SBCs and other arm devices will be the most common suggestions.

I personally know about the Raspberry Pi Zero which can be had for ~$10, and with all the added accessories necessary to make it a full computer (usb splitters, usb power, usb to rj45, storage) it costs around ~$35. Not bad at all but I'm pretty sure we can do even better!

Everyone in our apartment is a bit short on cash right now and we are getting ready to move. Found out my roommates tags were already a month out of date on top of all of that. Need to raise $219 to renew registration (fucking ridiculous cost btw).

We have cashapp and paypal, DM for info.

 

I'm dealing with alot right now, trying to move out of an anti-trans state, saving up for my next order of hrt, and im low on grocery funds right now. Won't starve, I've got ramen noodles, but $10 would help me add a lil variety until i get money on the 1st.

Dm me for cashapp or paypal
