Westoid leaders ride on the cream of the crop aircrafts maintained by blood and sweat of millions of working classes people and billions of exploited global South citizens. Of course they have better quality and less likely to encounter problems. However the tendency to cutting maintenance and decrease parts availability to drive up profit will catch up to them eventually. Blinken already had to delay his tour this year multiple times due to maintenance issues.

Are you sure you don't have a kink for puritan no fun story?

Isn't that the book about a guy who tried to save a mismanaged feudal monarchy with Japanese food and culture?

I tried reading the first manga volume and all I could remember was the MC tried to promote idol culture and Japanese soba to fix some food issues in a starving country. For a "realist" his plans feel really unrealistic to me so I just dropped it.

Kinda suspect something like this had happened for tachiyomi to make that decision. It's not a surprise to be honest. Just another attempt from corpos to erode personal freedom on the Internet

CEO: don't touch that, we are moving with higher velocity thanks to it.

This is good but I still prefer cabled electric bus and light rail to this.

Cause the US government is just a bunch of corporations under a trench coach. They want to privatize space using public money just like everything else on Earth. If it's not space X then it's gonna be Boeing, Ratheon, Amazon, etc that take that position. The age of public space exploration is closing, be ready for enshittification and exploitation in space.

That's probably cause you or your packages use CoreJS. It's basically a one man project that's holding up the whole modern Internet infrastructure. You can look up the story online, but it was a pretty small donation request for a really relatable individual.

That's not as far fetch as most people think. Right now a lot of right wing media already pushing for punishing the liberal left with polluting acts. They mostly are still concentrating on the internal politics level. However, when AES countries start adapting and alternative energy sources to save the planet, it's gonna be super easy to see those same taking points being used elsewhere

I have been in these kind of conversation a lot with my friends who work in tech. Even in tech circles, people wills till fall back to 'unsafe' solutions due to convenient an network effect. It sucks that we don't have a universal protocal for instant messaging that work for all platforms and is secured (f**k Apple for that). At this point I agree that it's just easier to just move on and use a normie chat app with burner accounts (which is increasingly harder to make nowadays)

From what I remembered from my highschool. You are not to taught ML fundamentals untill you are in university. However, you are taught some socialist world views and some historical materialism in both civic and history classes. Most kids wouldn't pay attention to it since they have to focus on STEMS subjects for the university exam though 😞

In university you have to take classes in ML which will have affect on your grade so people do pay more attention to it. But unless you are major in it, most people would just forget about it after their classes to spend time doing what university students do. It's pretty much the equivalent to mandatory civic classes in the West.

At the end of the day, while the education system in Vietnam have a more nuance view on socialism and have actual communist content (instead of the usual anti communism trash in US textbook). Majority of the time, people are simply too occupied with other things to learn it in depth.

To elaborate on this, after the French Indochina war in 1954 due to the treaty with France, most of the party members in the South had to move into the North, many of them didn't get to come back South until 1975. The Southern fascist regime also hunted down and killed a lot of our Southern comrades during the war. The lead to a big lost in the Southern branch of the party capability of organization and leadership.

In urban area where the control of the puppet regime is the strongest, they also had a lot of propaganda to brainwash the mass into anti communism. After the war, many of those same suburbanite also saw the biggest lost of quality of life due to the drop in free money from US aid and new sanctions which reinforced those past propaganda. That's why you see a tendency for Southern suburbanite to be skeptical to hostile toward leftist ideology and have a rosier picture for capitalism.
