Outer wilds is probably one of the best single player games to come out in a long while. I’d rank it up there with disco elysium

Nah the NSA are nazis

Glad to see some Faith No More love.

Favorite song of mine has got to be RV. It is so weird

I’ve stopped paying dues to them. The only reason I joined was because I was unaware of the PSL.

I think the organization is deeply unserious and their leadership seems to push a lot of zionist shit.

I hope the PSL becomes something bigger than it is now but it seems unlikely in America

Gonna up my donation. You guys are working on great stuff here

It’s not really a theory book but I really enjoyed J is for Junk Economics it has some lib stuff in there but for the most part it is a very good dissection of the modern capitalist system. It’s laid out like a dictionary and I think is best used as such. For example:

End of History - A term reflecting neoliberal hopes that the West’s political evolution will stop once economies are privatized and public regulation of banking and production are dismantled. Writing in the wake of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Francis Fukuyama’s The End of History and the Last Man (1992) coined the term “liberal democracy” to describe a globalized world run by the private sector, implicitly under American hegemony after its victory in today’s clash of civilizations.

It is as if the consolidation of feudal lordship is to be restored as the “end of history,” rolling back the Enlightenment’s centuries of reform. As Margaret Thatcher said in 1985: “There is no alternative” [TINA]. To her and her neoliberal colleagues, one essayist has written “everything else is utopianism, unreason and regression. The virtue of debate and conflicting perspectives are discredited because history is ruled by necessity.”

Fukuyama’s view that history will stop at this point is the opposite of the growing role of democratic government that most 20 th -century economists had expected to see. Evidently he himself had second thoughts when what he had celebrated as “liberal democracy” turned out to be a financial oligarchy appropriating power for themselves. In 1995, Russia’s economic planning passed into the hands of the “Seven Bankers,” with U.S. advisors overseeing the privatization of post-Soviet land and real estate, natural resources and infrastructure. Russian “liberalism” simply meant an insider kleptocracy spree.

Seeing a similar dynamic in the United States, Fukuyama acknowledged (in a February 1, 2012 interview with Der Spiegel) that his paean to neoliberalism was premature: “Obama had a big opportunity right at the middle of the crisis. That was around the time Newsweek carried the title: ‘We Are All Socialists Now.’ Obama’s team could have nationalized the banks and then sold them off piecemeal. But their whole view of what is possible and desirable is still very much shaped by the needs of these big banks.” That mode of “liberal democracy” seems unlikely to be the end of history, unless we are speaking of a permanent Dark Age in which forward momentum simply stops.

I love my bambu. I know they have their issues and all that but honestly I just don’t have mine hooked to the internet and it runs like a dream. It almost never fails. It calibrates so quickly. It prints with really good quality.

Worlds above my ender 3. It was worth the price

I think Kojima gets a lot of passes on his game just because they are so esoteric.

I would defend my point but I’m lazy

q40s is a debian based distro. It comes with trinity desktop and has some very retro looking themes.

I tried it on an old laptop a while ago and it worked fine. But you could probably do the same thing with regular debian

I find it hilarious they keep the white house plans in a google drive

Kde has its own thing now. Lots easier to find than its own spin

I’ve been playing Last of Us 2 on pc. It’s pretty fun.

I don’t know how I feel about the story yet, it’s not told chronologically and I feel that it is to its own detriment.

You aren’t really built up to caring for the characters and some of their developments fall flat. But I haven’t finished it yet so idk.

Also the dialogue is uniquely “game-like” in some circumstances and it’s jarring when it happens.

I will say though…gameplay wise. It is out-fucking-standing I mean some of the best I’ve ever encountered. Stealth bordering on metal gear levels of quality with quick and fluid combat to back it up. The AI outsmarts me, flanks, fakes me out, etc…

So far I’ve enjoyed the encounters the best and the rogue like mode second.

Maybe the story will grow on me. I’m not sure

One of my favorite introductions to a film. It’s gorgeous

This is really neat. And also very pretty. It’s a great visualization of a fairly complex idea

The statement from 2-21 is crazy to me.

The police hadn’t handed a lot of documents to the defense at the time but spoke of the document on television.

It’s so clear that higher ups are making a show of Luigi. The American legal system is a joke

Somehow he vocalized tipping a fedora

So it looks like he just read the first result that shows up…

But if you read an actual study you get a much better idea of how wasteful AI is.

These two by far showcase it the best. This AI stuff is pretty wasteful

So 4g capable would mean what exactly?

I doubt this thing makes phone calls or does it?

I’ve missed you guys

I buy things on aliexpress a lot and honestly some of the stuff is excellent quality.

But like any other storefront there will be plenty of junk. Just be mindful of what you are buying.

TTArtisan for example make lenses for cameras and I have bought a few of their lenses. They are superb I mean just really great quality for a fraction of the cost of a name brand.

China is able to produce things of great workmanship for pennies on the dollar. It’s really impressive
