Within at least physics, there is still a lot of importance placed on “prestigious” journals like Phys Rev. So it’s not so simple. Why would authors trust something published in the “Journal for Comradely Science”? It makes it very difficult to start something just due to the scientific cultural inertia.

Realistically it is 100% possible. But it’s the same issue the rest of the working class runs into: insufficient organization. The push for open source in its current form is just a way to make science open without affecting the profits of these huge journals. It costs the author to publish in a journal (which usually means the government allocates x-dollars within grants to pay for publishing). So it’s a farce tbh.

If there are education and experience requirements imposed on judicial candidates, and then they are elected, this is not an issue. Because those who are elected are accountable to those who elected them

(provided they can be removed from.power by the same people, which is one of those “checks and balances” Western "democracies " have imposed so we can’t remove them).

That way you have professionals/experts who are accountable to the people. Obviously elections can always be tampered with and influenced by powerful and moneyed interests, but by assuming this is true and then making it the default is a bit daft tbh.

That’s like… 4 or 5 times the speed of sound at sea level so… There would be a bit of a boom.

The real question is if you slapped hard enough to raise the temperature to 74C (undergrad clearly doesn’t cook), what would the temperature of your hand be? And for the engineers: how far up your arm would you have to measure before the temperature returned to normal body temperature? And for the bio/kin/nursing/premed students: how much would need to be amputated?

I mean, private ownership by those who don’t do the work or consume the product, yet get to make the decisions is to blame, yes. And that is capitalism by definition so… Capitalism is to blame…

Absolutely, but it’s different. For-profit media needs to maximize, well profits. So their platforms will be designed around this. If they profit from advertisements that means they need you to be using the app as much as possible and it will be designed to manipulate you into using the app, engaging with content, making content, etc.

Without those incentives, people can browse differently. Though we are products of our environment, so if we have been trained to use social media in a certain way, we are still likely to use say Lemmy that same way.

Yeah maybe, they do have the fastest gaming processors, and most efficient workstation processors if you use the x3d for workstations.

I hope not. I’ll likely be buying a bit of an upgrade in the next 6 months…

I was thinking this too. However, Amd still has a much lower market share than Intel so I suspect they will use this to claw back as much as they can. If they manage to get into the 40-60% range, then I would expect them to start playing with raising prices.

Alternatively they may release certain models at inflated prices to test the waters with increased pricing.

This is an armchair analysis of course so take it with a grain of salt

I prefer to call it democracy with American characteristics.

You’re right. They should let a warmongering group point their missiles at them without recourse. If you ignore it, they will go away. Right?

I don’t think it’s ever been done before. So I think a precedent needs to be set first before the question can be properly addressed.

Skip a step, just put your gonads into a pot of boiling water

And the Democrats are fighting to outlaw it too right?

It’s the Soviets. Look. They point it out for you.

Obviously

Still worth stating facts though. Someone pursuing posts might be swayed by talking points if there isn’t a dissenting voice.

I’m pro worker. If you make a living by selling your labour, Sweet. Let’s overthrow the arseholes ruining the world.

I can also stand behind good, worker focused policy, and anything that can lead to an end of imperialism and colonialism/neo colonialism.

So by definition I am against everything the American government and its institutions stand for. Which is probably a bit jarring to folks.

I realize you weren’t really asking me, but I think it’s important to still respond to folks who have the political wherewithal of an old man who shouldn’t be paraded around in public, let alone given nuclear codes.

You don’t need to simp for a country, you can be your own person and want a better world for people while recognizing that the wealth gap is a power gap, related to the ownership of businesses, real estate, etc. And that the only way to experience true freedom is to over turn that power structure and fight for the freedom of everyone.

Why is it that two senile old men are lined up to be the next president of the USA? Are they really the best? Why is it that all their friends are wealthy and get wealthier during their time in office? Does what you think have any impact on policy? Or do you still have to fight at every turn to prevent catastrophe? Why are so many people working so many jobs with so little pay or benefits compared to any other country? Do Americans just absolutely suck as people and are as productive as ranch dressing? I don’t think so. The deck is stacked against you. That is to say, the wealthy designed and control the system in which you and everyone else exists. Of course it will work for them and not you. That’s why as soon as the power structure is threatened, they start assassinating people. (MLK, tried Castro a bunch of times, Malcolm X, etc.)

Or lol China Russia beep Boop

Ahh yes, the bastion of freedom is policing someone else’s waters. It’s a good thing too. Can you imagine if the American government, with their senile president, Cheetos future president, and general lack of empathy for anything other than money and control, allowed such a thing as a sovereign nation to exist outside of their boot? Nonsense

Do you have a source for this suspicion?

Currently China is almost completely responsible for raising people out of poverty on a global scale. This suggests that, if the CPC is funneling money into the accounts of government officials, it’s mostly being used to build wealth for the people.

Besides, if the CPC has the power to limit the salaries of the wealthy, why bother jumping through hoops to raise your personal wealth when you could just raise your salary, or use a priori knowledge of the stock markets and accept "lobbying " money to raise your level of wealth like American politicians?

No you see they haven’t announced they are at war. They are there on a peace keeping mission. Those are bombs of peace

Though given western aggression, I can’t say I blame them tbh. It’s how the DPRK has avoided being invaded by the west. I just wish American and all its puppets would would fuck right off and stop starting shit just to keep its shareholders happy.

Because at the end of the day, it’s some guy who needs to earn a living being told to kill some other guy who needs to earn a living, just so some rich removed can keep control over a bunch of people who are just trying to earn a living.
