Raspberry Pi launches its IPO
  • I'm a commie, so I'm all for social ownership of the means of production, but that's neither here nor there. The point is, there isn't a scale of how pure capitalism is: a Keynesian model is as capitalistic as laissez-faire is because the underlying relationships to capital are the same. Communism isn't at the other end of any scale because it's an entirely different model, not just more or less regulation.

    Some may argue that no country is socialist because they are still transitioning, and that they are still capitalist, but that's not a scale: they are not socialist (yet, hopefully) because their mode of production is still capitalistic.

  • Regulated capitalism is still capitalism. There's no such thing as "pure" or "impure" capitalism, the social relationships to capital are the same. Lassiez-faire capitalism is just a flavour of it.

    It's like ice-cream: you may prefer chocolate ice-cream over vanilla ice-cream, but they are both flavours of ice-cream and you wouldn't say "yea, that's not pure ice-cream". Some people may even dislike ice-cream altogether and prefer cheesecake.

  • Which adaptation do you think has surpassed its source material in quality?
  • He could even justify it to the fans as a collab with a well-known author, who would do the bulk of writing with Martin as a supervisor/big picture guy. Like if Jordan had spoken with Sanderson to finish WoT before he died.

  • Dude, he's old, obese and doesn't take care of himself. If he wins he might not even end his term before his heart gives out.

  • What is a bad video game that you enjoy?
  • DF is not bad >:(

  • Site / service that will send a message at a specific date/time?
  • Just make a bitwarden account, add the new passwords there, and give the master password to someone you trust. Then they change the mater pass and when the day comes they can tell you this new password and you'll be able to access all your saved passwords again.

  • Science fiction authors were excluded from awards for fear of offending China
  • It's a better argument to not trust the awards admin with anything from now in, given that they did that independently and removed a ton of Chinese authors from the ballots.

  • Science fiction authors were excluded from awards for fear of offending China
  • China didn't have anything to do with it. They censored books that were already translated and selling in china, and Chinese authors.

  • Piracy is so confusing these days
    • If you want to torrent files, you need to subscribe to an exclusive private tracker. To get access to a private tracker, you need to get lucky, or you need to go through a painstaking process of levelling up over months and months of seeding torrents from semi-private trackers until you get to an actual good one that may or may not have the content you are looking for.

    Uh, no. Tpb, rutracker, nyaa... Work well. If you want more curated stuff then yes, private trackers might be worth it, but you can still find a ton of things on public trackers.

    • Whether you are using torrents or UseNet, you need a service to help you find the content in the first place, for example Sonarr, Radarr or Lidarr. Something called Jackett also fits into this somehow and apparently links to whatever indexes you are using.

    No. You can just search in one of the trackers and add the torrent to your download client.

    • If you are torrenting, you then need a torrent client such as qBitTorrent to actually get the files.

    Yes, obviously. If you want to ddl you'll likely need a web browser, too.

    I just wanna have my own home streaming service.

    If you don want to automate it then just search for stuff manually and move your downloaded media to your library folders like it has been done since forever.

  • dotnet developer
  • Because it checks if the version starts with the string "Windows 9*", not wether the number is less than 9.

  • Average website visit in 2024
  • Just use reader mode, it bypasses all that shit.

  • Joe Biden Is Arming Greece So Greece Can Arm Ukraine—And Pro-Russia Republicans Can’t Stop Him
  • Just wanted to point out that whether it is an undemocratic move or not does not depend on the recipient of the aid.

  • Joe Biden Is Arming Greece So Greece Can Arm Ukraine—And Pro-Russia Republicans Can’t Stop Him
  • I don't get what's strange about this. They didn't like commies, Russia is no longer even calling itself socialist, so why would they still be hostile to the Russians?

  • Wot The Fsck You Say, Spotify?
  • I didn't really like readarr, it had a weird workflow and I find books to be different than series (they have longer release frequency, for example) so I'm getting them manually and importing into calibre for metadata. This way I can also check the quality of each epub because I hate finding that the book I'm going to read is badly formatted or has a weird encoding.

    • His life was on the line, people can't take pics or record if it's not a pre-approved itinerary
    • I've been there taking pics and recording everything except checkpoints, and YouTubers have done the same in both the city and the countryside
    • No, it's a fact that you can't do that
  • What are some good games that have a bad reputation due to unreasonable expectations?
  • It's the kind of thing that the more you think about it the more flaws you find. The stories from the different factions also feel very disconnected, like Skyrim's. Everything seems to exist in a vacuum).

    But don't take me for my word, if you already have it play the game and see if you enjoy it, that's what's important.

  • What are some good games that have a bad reputation due to unreasonable expectations?
  • The problem with starfield is not technical but that the writing is pretty crappy in general. Technical or feature problems can be fixed (cyberpunk or no man's sky did it) but the story can't be extensively rewritten without making it a different game.

  • I'm happy he did actually say it
  • They did that in the LOTR Journeys in Middle-Earth game and in the new editions of Descent. The scenarios, spawns and enemy movement are all managed by the app, which is fine, but they don't have an alternative way to play without it, which is crappy. But I'm sure that if they stop support someone will reverse engineer it and make a ruleset to admin these things.
