Linux mint is a good compatible baseline yes.

That always depends. But, if you want an experience that supports all hardware and software. You can buy it cheaper than building yourself. And you’re supporting Chris/Perry as well as the designers who I believe are all now official commodore.

This video is a good watch.

Define people. Because obviously people don’t here. The average person I talk to IRL on a daily basis don’t know what it is, have never used it, and likely never will. And a system where the people currently pushing this wouldn’t exist would certainly change things.

Your argument basically amounts to “nu uh”.

Yes, I have seen posts on it. Sufficed to say, despite being an anarchist. I don’t have an account there for reasons. And don’t agree with everything they do.

The situation with those bans I might consider heavy handed and perhaps overreaching. But by the same token it’s a bit of a reflection of some of those that are banned. Overzealous and lacking nuance etc.

The funny thing is. They pretty much dislike the tech bros as much as anyone here does. You generally won’t ever find them defending their actions. They want AI etc that they can run from their home. Not snarfing up massive public resources, massively contributing to climate change, or stealing anyone’s livelihood. Hell many of them want to run off the grid from wind and solar. But, as always happens with the left. We can agree with eachother 90%, but will never tolerate or understand because of the 10%.

PS

We do know the scale. Your use of “the state” with reference to anarchism. Implies you’re unfamiliar with it. Anarchism and communism are against “the state” for the reasons you’re also warry of it. It’s too powerful and unanswerable.

The point is, most wouldn’t. It’s of little real use currently, especially the LLM bullshit. The communities would have infinitely better things to pit resources to.

And the point of anarchist or actual communist systems is that such scale would be miniscule. Not massive national or unanswerable state scales.

And yes, I’m an anarchist. I know DB0 and their instance and generally agree with their stance - because it would allow any one of us to effectively advocate against it if we desired to.

There would be no tech broligarchy forcing things on anyone. They’d likely all be hanged long ago. And no one would miss them as they provide nothing of real value anyway.

I see, so you don’t understand. Or simply refuse to engage with what was asked.

While you aren’t wrong about human nature. I’d say you’re wrong about systems. How would the same thing happen under an anarchist system? Or under an actual communist (not Marxist-Leninist) system? Which account for human nature and focus to use it against itself.

Oh I have no issues with it being relevant in the same sense the Z80 68k or 6502 still being relevant. Just not part of a controlling duopoly.

Or, what if it just became irrelevant. It’s had a great run. But honestly ARM has shown plenty of versatility and power. While being licensable unlike x86. And things like riscv have similar of not better potential.

The new boarmal.

Upon better reading it absolutely was. Disregard me.

But are investment systems not a capitalistic feature and thus will be rejected by anarchists?

Why would investment be considered capitalistic? Any neighborhood, shop, union, or council would invest in their futures if they’re smart. There’s all kinds of investment. I think the only kind anarchist would eschew would be the ones revolving around usury. The favorite of capitalists. Basically what’s being discussed.

Why even have the principle of stocks? People have a contract at the company. You can calculate the profit sharing based on the ratio of contract hours + salary compared to the total.

Absolutely. Everyone should be paid fairly for their labor. Anything else would involve usury. Repayment of investment shouldn’t be connected to wages in any way. You invest in your company and community because they already benefit you. Anything above wages and debt should be minimal and targeted towards maintenance and reinvestment. Chasing excess profit is absolutely the reason things are unaffordable and people can’t afford to live.

They exist yes. Go ask the average person on the street the name more than one of them. At best some might know system 76. But can they buy them at the local best buy, apple store, or micro center? Lots of places don’t have a micro center. Micro center at least sells Linux and BSD media. I haven’t been in 8 months. But for the last 30 years they haven’t sold a pre installed system. Much less best buy or apple store.

Politics are about control. When fascists are in charge. Everything is politics

What the fresh frelling hesmana is this?

I will have to see if they’re upon max or whatever it’s called now. I no longer have a cable subscription or any way to watch it like that.

I haven’t seen any of the episodes in the years. But considering the creator of the show is French. If there ever was going to be one, it would be his lol.
