I'm pretty sure the "Deutsche Bank" hasn't stopped betting on rising global food prices since 2013.
I mean, one of the central goals of communism to abolish ownership of the means of production.
Software used to produce something of value is a resource that in a communist society should not be owned. The only way to achieve this is to let everything be opensource.
So communists clearly like the free software movement, whether inverse is true is a matter for debate.
No, I'd say you have to look at it more like eating habbits. You won't convince someone who's in his 50ies and all his life only ever ate fastfood to eat healthy. It's objectively better for them, deep down they might even know it, but the force of habbit is just to strong.
There is a best choice, but not everyone want's to hear it. You can't convince everyone and have to pick your battles.
True, together with lentils they are my goto protein source. If only they wouldn't cause petarades... Or maybe I'm just cooking them wrong :D
Someone posted a can of beans in lemmy.world's shitpost community and said lemmy users will upvote anything. It got a couple thousand likes and rose to the top of the feed. I found it mildly funny at the time, but the way it is still beeing regurgitated reminds me to much of reddit.
Well, there are the fascists(exploding-heads.com) and the communists(lemmygrad.ml) for a start.
You have some national instances such as lemmy.ca, aussie.zone, feddit.de, feddit.nl, feddit.uk and feddit.it.
Beehaw is busy building their ivory tower by defederating anyone with a slightly different oppinion so i'd say they are the centrists or maybe the swiss.
Other than that the rest is pretty much the same, if you ask me.
If you're new to linux and want to stay safe I have a couple of tips:
Never run commands you don't understand. Research what they are doing before you run them. Try to become used to doing everything from the commandline. It may be daunting at first, but it helps understanding what the GUIs do and hiw to fix things if they break.
Use the packagemanagement of your distribution where possible. For example in ubuntu use the "apt" command to install software from the commandline or the software center to install them from the GUI. I'd avoid .deb files from random internet sites as installing them is the equivalent of installing random .exe-s on Windows. It could be safe but you don't really know for sure. tar.gz-files are the compressed source code of the application so while technically more transparent as a newbie i'd still avoid them.
Choose a widely used distro. Especially as a newbie it can be difficult do assess what's wrong. It helps if there are a lot of other new users googling the same problem.
To start I'd suggest Ubuntu on a Virtualbox-VM. Make frequent snapshots so you don't have to reinstall your whole system if you break something.
For most older windows only offline games someone usually has already created a bottle or made an installer on playonlinux. With online games anticheat might act up (I tried valorant and LoL, both didn't work)
I get where you are coming from, I used to be pretty anti authoritarian.
But if you give me the benefit of the doubt, I can suggest an article by Friedrich Engels on the topic, which ultimatively changed my mind: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Library:On_authority

I mean isn't that a soviet, or am I missing something?
local anarchist groups and CPUSA/ML groups working together at rallies and picketlines.
True, but try putting that into a meme :P
If your anarchism starts and stops at your screen you're just a liberal. Same for Marxist Leninism.
Yeah maybe liberal and activist woud've been more accurate.
This is so on brand. Especially the "I lack the discipline to regulary sit down and read a book, so I tell people I have ADHD even though we all know no licensed professional ever diagnosed me"-attitude.
Keep it up! I honestly don't know how you do it.
I recently tried debating politics online on a lemmy.world alt acc again but after someone just regurgitated nonsense they heard in their social media bubble I got so fed up I had to touch some gras.
I guess next time I'll just follow the hexbear aproach and post pigs shitting on their own balls. Doesn't win any argument, but feels kinda cathartic.
