If industrialization raises up a population, financialization plunges them.

Exactly, that’s why China’s economy is slowing.

Corporations in the US are seeing the highest profits they’ve ever seen in history. Wage theft has never been worse. Income disparity is widening more and more every year without any prospect of redistribution in sight.

Definitely, similar is happening in China as well. It’s why larger chunks of their youth aren’t participating and feel they have no place.

Corporations in China, however, are folded into the state as soon as they get too large. Corporate profits are collected by the state and redistributed to the population. China has many more protections to prevent it from choosing greed and sacrificing the working people than the US.

Which is largely meaningless as they exploit workers as hard or harder.

I want what’s happening in China to happen to us in America.

It did and is. The good bits happened over 60 years ago in the US. But we’re rapidly approaching the lack of press freedom and social surveillance China pioneered. Even as they’re approaching our inequality.

In tank space sure. But not in any non-hypocrical space. Again everything you implied about China could be said about the US.

However, it was industrialization brought up living standards. Not any particular party or ideology. In every different government and economic system industrialization has been pushed, it has benefited the population. And industrialization doesn’t make up for the oppression and abuses that said parties or ideologies commit while industrializing.

The fact that industrialization raised the standard of living in the US doesn’t justify their theft of my ancestors land or culture. Or the enslavement of blacks. It certainly doesn’t excuse or justify China’s oppression or cultural erasure of the uhygers. Tibetans or Hong Kongers as well. If you think it does or deny their abuse you’re just a hypocrite. 🤷

Not for a while yet. It’s not fully usable for daily driving at this point last I saw. Definitely inching closer. But ATM I have infinitely more confidence about the FSFs stewardship of it than Mozilla’s. Which is great considering servo used to be under Mozilla.

It will be interesting to see what the licensing situation will be. Nothing is impossible, though I don’t think it would work too well as a tightly controlled/licensed ISA. And for more open or looser license ISA like Arm or RiscV. It’s s bit late to the party or has significantly less buzz. However competition and choice is always good, so it will be fun to see how it all shakes out.

Nearly everything you mentioned there could be said about China as well though. So, how? In what way does it make China look better? Serious question. And not a defense of the west out the US.

Limited resources and isolation imposed both internally and externally. It’s not out of the question.

Though with how much such governments suppress information, and others push misinformation. We may never know for sure.

Well, assuming that you are on windows, it’s a whole extra step.

There’s no real way Mozilla could compete. Google has nothing to fear on that front like the browser front. It’s far more likely Mozilla’s ultimate intention. Is to integrate Gemini or similar further into the browser than they already have. Mozilla is years late to the circle jerk, and everyone else has partnered up.

¿Why not both?

Don’t trust that to continue to be a thing. If they think they might be able to force people to subscribe to their shitty streaming service by taking that away, I expect them to do it.

Piracy, the final frontier.

Just recommended this video elsewhere this morning. It’s long but good. Can’t recommend Ben Jordan enough.

So say we all

True though I’m a pretty big fan of Lucy Lawless, Taika Watiti, and Jermaine Clement. I hold myself to a higher standard. 😆

Yep, its close. Hopefully we’ll see some with better support for the hardware soon. Seems like with riscv many are waiting for rva23 hardware. Which we should start seeing any time now.

I think you’re right. They aren’t just nasal Aussies no matter how close proximity they are. It sucks no matter where it happens. I hate that us Americans have gotten so desensitized to it. There’s definitely middle ground to work from on reducing mass murders including gun violence.

Christchurch at least. But I’m sure there might have been something between. But just not daily/weekly like the US or middle east.

This doesn’t get brought up enough. The UK and US rolling up with wealthy Zionists to bully people from their ancestral lands. To give those lands to the wealthy Zionists who has largely escaped personal suffering. As consolation for their suffering they’d largely escaped. (But also as a platform to influence and manipulate the middle east) Anyone should be infuriated. Not just Palestinians.

Yes I’ve never gotten a post from mastodon to start a new Lemmy/piefed thread. Though I think it’s supposed to be able to. But you can absolutely reply to them from Mastodon.

You aren’t alone. I remember BeOS 4 on my old Pentium II just screamed with that old ATI card. It’s always deserved better than it got, and it’s great to see the project has come so far. Especially adding resources for modern languages like this.

The one thing I think they’re kind of sleeping on that I really wish I could find. Are versions of it compiled and packaged for a couple of popular SBC at least. I know they’ve got it running on arm as well as riscv. I feel like the Raspberry Pi and similar SBCs brought some attention and more relevance back to things like Risc OS. BeOS/Haiku It would seem perfectly suited to the towards an ecosystem like that. I’m sure it will get there someday.
