they say it on french TV every day
i don't think it would too harsh to point out that China has more or less abandoned the idea of proletarian internationalism. i can see why they did it but i don't think it should be above criticism
i installed the bench warp mod in hollow knight because i didn't enjoy the staring at the map and navigating/backtracking areas aspect at all. but i think my sense of direction is worse in 2d world than 3d

primarily, i more or less don't care about passing. I'm generally fine with being read as a fuck ass gender gremlin because that's what i am. my voice doesn't give me dysphoria at all in a direct sense. it gets me misgendered sometimes but not consistently. so i just don't care to change it that much. i do think it has already changed sort of subconsciously a fair bit but i haven't done any regimented training. there is a part of it that's out of spite because i hate the idea that i would have to change my voice to get consistently gendered correctly, when i don't even dislike my voice. so it's not a high priority for me at all. i don't like getting misgendered but it just seems like too much work (and changing a part of myself i already personally am fine with) just to have that happen slightly less
Paul Cockshott is an ideological TERF
otoh the no discs thing is kind of emblematic of all the problems with video games, i totally get why a lot of outrage is coalescing around it, and i understand the attachment to physical media, i think it is nice. but DRM is the core of the issue and that was already the case long before they looked to go fully digital
i think it takes many years in the best case
"mainstream collective culture" has always been a product sold to us by the capitalists. due to various factors including TRPF reducing the quality of that product as well as broadening disillusionment in the base political economic system producing it and the prevailing ideology it espouses, it is becoming less and less palatable or enticing to people. i don't see it as a bad thing, hegemonic monoculture toppling and fragmenting is inevitable with the decay of the system holding it up. there is still enough culture out there to fill many lifetimes of consumption, even just limiting yourself to things that are good or interesting or revolutionary there isn't a dearth of exciting and stimulating works that are available.
Real wage has gone up 4x in the past 25 years, more than any other country https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw8SvK0E5dI
The real (inflation-adjusted) incomes of the poorest half of the Chinese population increased by more than four hundred percent from 1978 to 2015, while real incomes of the poorest half of the US population actually declined during the same time period. https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w23119/w23119.pdf
From 2010 to 2019 (the most recent period for which uninterrupted data is available), the income of the poorest 20% in China increased even as a share of total income. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SI.DST.FRST.20?end=2019&%3Blocations=CN&%3Bstart=2008
i knew that the self enrichment drive was always a big part of fascism, but this is the first I've heard of this direct effect. would you know of any decent further reading on this?
good breakdown, thank you. all other criticisms aside the piece seems deeply idealist in nature. some language of dialectical materialism is here as window dressing but i do not think it is being wielded adeptly, to say the least.
i moved recently and don't have a TV anymore so my excitement for this kinda dwindled. the 2TB price seems like a bit of a hard sell, but honestly i expected them to be even wilder given the circumstances. personally much more excited for the Steam Frame
second monitor view:
some info:
this has only happened in one game (Total War Warhammer 3) and the card has been performing more or less fine otherwise, although i have been noticing some minor artifacting in stuff like Firefox.
my PSU is old as fuck and technically underpowered for the card (EVGA 750W gold from 10 odd years ago) and I'm also using a 2 head splitter cable to power two of the three 8 pin headers.
CPU is a 9900k which is certainly throttling this thing
my thoughts are to just buy a new PSU and see if that fixes it. i can RMA anytime so I'd rather wait and see. just wanted to hear some folks thoughts as this is stressing me out a fair bit
i lean towards the latter but want to hear hexbears thoughts on this. pic unrelated it's my DS3 SL1 character after beating the dancer
EDIT - I SOLVED THE PROBLEM LOL
i had a timeshift snapshot that was like 500GB because i had been including /home in my backups. fixed.
So, my system has been complaining that my main OS drive is almost completely full. However, I just deleted like 250GB of games off it to fix the problem. It's a 2TB SSD.
output of df says i only have 52GB free:
Dolphin file manager agrees. However, using Filelight, and my own reckoning, I can only account for 660GB of space used up.
even doing du -sh */ from / only seems to show about 1TB of space used on the disk. Where is my other ~800GB of space?
i guess the exceptional Tory coalition are serious about continuing to pursue their radical Atlanticist agenda. great long term planning going on here. i hate living in a vassal state dude
we are not in red scare 3 for no reason, this strikes me as doomer undialectical handwaving. they are doing this because they see communism as more of a threat than they did 20 years ago. which it is. there is a material reason for this trajectory, it's not random
