Truthfully, people only put up with pocket because Google is worse. It does have a silver lining in that it shows Mozilla's true colours which we should never forget or let them forget. They're still Western libtrash bordering on fascism, but ✨open source✨. Even ignoring their political stance, the even worse thing about them is the fact that they are a for-profit corporation posing as a nonprofit. They treat their developers like shit just like Google, have an internal attitude of management knowing better about the direction of their software than the people writing them just like Google (their devs have repeatedly spoken out against Mozilla's direction to no avail), their management still hoards the organization's capital and there is a massive wage disparity between the CEO and board and the workers just like Google, they barely pay their workers while management makes millions not including bonuses just like Google, and their position in open source allows them to leech off the free work of community contributions not to mention direct donations from people who don't know any better. Mozilla is bourgeoisie trying its absolute damnedest to convince you they're not. They are not leftist in any capacity, a lot of the developers and other proletarians who work for them are I'm sure, but certainly not the organization. Pray for the day when we have a truly leftist and libre software group and Mozilla dies along with Google.

People like these are so threatened by those around them that they'll shame poor people for being poor as it doesn't conform to their worldview.

Newspeak rant (lemmygrad.ml)

Anyone who's studied the George Orwell novel 1984 want to explain to me what the fucking point of "newspeak" is and why it's not a strawman "we're gonna make the commies seem like supervillains and do random stupid shit for no reason" type trope? Because when has any prominent figure in socialism or communism ever suggested dumbing down language? Give me an example of a commie language reinvention please, 1984 is supposed to be the definitive manual on what happened under communism isn't it?

Also detecting a hint of racism in that plotpoint because there really are real languages that evolved naturally where the positive and negative expressions are indeed structured as good, not good, very good, very not good, etc. Is it trying to say that people speaking those languages are bad at expressing their thoughts because it's not how English does it?

Actually, Chinese is kind of like this with its use of pre/suffixes. Chinese is also one of the best languages for poetry and literature. Source: Native Mandarin speaker.

And this is rolled back from their initial proposal of 80 hours.

Unless you're a Patsoc as in Socialism with Patrick Star characteristics. Then you're a valued member of this forum.

I've realized that unless they specifically say Marxist or ML, chances are they're just confused liberals.

And then you get the geniuses at /r/architecture whining "HURR DURR IT HAS NO ORNAMENTATION AND IT'S UGLY AND DYSTOPIAN AND ELON MUSK'S MANSION AT LEAST LOOKS BEAUTIFUL!!"

Also, prions, one of the deadliest cannibalism infections, are pretty damn heat stable. You can grill the shit out of a burger and still get mad cow disease, pretty sure that applies to human-human transmission too.

Also also, if I'm understanding this right, he didn't actually get backlash for being a literal cannibal, you know, the most serious point in all of this, but instead he got backlash for accidentally eating a fellow Ukrainian instead of an evil enemy Russian?

What the fuck is wrong with people?

TIL that the USSR flag only has the hammer sickle on one side. Anyone know why that decision was made?

Mao ZeDong should sue for trademark infringement. He was never "Maoist" and they're misrepresenting his brand.

It's Chinese, so not Anime. It's a Donghua (动画), which literally means "motion drawing" (note, not motion picture, because the Chinese word "hua" 画 means a drawn or painted image only, not photos).

Yes, I'm about to get as pretentious about Chinese animation as weebs are about Japanese animation.

This is more telling than they realize.
