Also... ja, auch. Aber die FDP gibt sich technologieoffen, "ideologiefrei" und ja: progressiv.
Das heiß dann halt girlboss-feminismus, Regenbogen-Kapitalismus und Flugtaxis.
SPD, the Greens and FDP: "If we win the Bundestag, Bundesrat and Cancellorship, we'll definetly implement progressive politics." ;)
I faintly remember Bakunin's utopian vision from the revolutions podcast and I thought that he didn't really have an answer to the "what-if-someone-doesn't-work-conondrum".
Yeah, Kropotkin is a little bit more refined and based on science.
Counterexamples: Netflix without ads, Gamepass, Tinder.
I agree with the meme, but correct me if I'm wrong: didn't Bakunin himself argue in favour of a work voucher system?
If that seems "smartypants" to you, your intellectual standards are set pretty damn low.
I'd appreciate it if you didn't insult me. The smartypants part was that you "um-actually"d me. Not that you stated something too "intellectual".
I never said "that's because of enshittification". I said "that's enshittification". My statement didn't contain any description of causal effects.
Do you commonly criticize comments that don't issue a historical paper on the background of a meme?
I don't think they consider that "portable".
I'm giving the name of a process. When someone asks for the title of a book, I don't start with Guttenberg's printing press.
You're in luck! "The Disposessed" by Ursula K LeGuin is an amazing book and exactly what you're looking for.
I'd say that pricing is part of the deal which can get worse. Claiming that it's not enshittification is useless nitpicking, IMHO.
I was giving a name to a specific feature of capitalism and you were all "umm actually"-ing me that I'm talking about capitalism.
That's like:
Me: "I really like this chocolate croissant" You: "Actually, you're talking about a pastry 🤓"
We don't use the opinions of Aristotle or Plato to reference other contemporary political systems. While what you say might be true: it's still very convenient for those currently in power to maintain this wrong/anachronistic definition of anarchy/anarchism.
"You're not talking about Sprite, but about sugary soft drinks" <- that's you
Revolution is always, in every example, a doorway for powerhungry authoritarians to swoop in.
I disagree. Like I said: CNT/FAI Catalonia, 1919 Bavaria and anarchist Ukraine are counterexamples.
If a revolution is thorough enough to eradicate the hierarchical structure of oppression, it doesn't have to be used by authoritarians.
Enshittification is a feature of capitalism, smartass.

Recommendations on casual GB/GBA games?
Hi! Maybe y'all can help me out.
I have a Miyoo mini plus and sometimes, I feel the itch to play something just to fiddle around a bit. I'm looking for something that's easy to pick up and pla' for a few minutes up to maybe half an hour.
Bonus points if I can play it without needing to use my speech recognizing brain functions. It would be ideal if I can just occupy my hands a pit while still listening to what my colleagues say in remote meetings (I used to use a rubik's cube for that). ADD is a bitch.
I already got:
- Apotris (really awesome, but a bit stressful after a while)
- Wario Ware (can also get a bit stressful)
- Pokemon Pinball Saphire and ruby (great, but has gotten a bit repetitive now)
- ... that's it
It doesn't have to be GB/GBA, but I recon that those systems have the biggest bounty of pick up and play games. The Miyoo Mini Plus can emulate everything up to PS1, so SNES and PS1 would be fine, too.

Europe’s seeds are being privatised by patents - and it could threaten food security
cross-posted from: https://feddit.org/post/2037887
> Europe has one of the most diverse seed industries in the world. In Germany, the Netherlands and France alone, hundreds of small breeders are creating new varieties of cereals, vegetables and legumes. > > Relying on decades of careful selection to improve desired traits like yield, disease resistance and flavour, they adapt seeds to local environments through methods like cross-breeding. > > This legion of plant breeders help maintain Europe’s biodiversity and ensure that our food supplies stay plentiful. But their work is under growing threat from the patent industry. > > Although it’s illegal to patent plants in the EU, those created through technological means are classified as a technical innovation and so can be patented. > > This means that small-scale breeders can no longer freely plant these seeds or use them for research purposes without paying licensing fees.

> Der belgische Vorsitz im Rat der EU will die Chatkontrolle am Mittwoch den 19. Juni abstimmen lassen. Damit bestätigen sich die Befürchtungen: die Verfechter der Chatkontrolle wollen ausnutzen, dass es nach den Wahlen weniger öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit gibt, während sich das Europäische Parlament erst neu bilden muss. Wenn die Chatkontrolle es jetzt durch den Rat schafft besteht außerdem die Gefahr, dass sich das Parlament in seiner neuen Zusammensetzung nicht so stark gegen die Chatkontrolle wehrt und unsere bisherigen Erfolge in den Trilogverhandlungen zwischen Rat und Parlament wieder aufgibt.

Edit - Addendum: The video title is quite clickbait-y. The video doesn't want to debunk any "serious" science, but rather investigates how badly done research with no reproducability or horrible statistical significance is used to influence the discourse in favour of regressive politics.

John Lee Hooker's Boom Boom was in the same movie. I first thought that it played right before Shake a tail feather, but I think that was actually right before Aretha Franklin's "Think". Still, there's the connection.
