The “sit back and relax”-strategy really does work.

The stock market is basically gambling and designed to serve the bourgeoisie. Better to read theory than books on “how to make money”.

By the early 2010s, at least two tycoons had seen their net worth approach that decabillion-dollar barrier, only to land in jail on corruption charges instead. That is not to say the charges were baseless, only that the choice of targets did appear to reflect a lingering, levelling tendency among China’s leaders.

In this new era, it’s dangerous to get too rich. Stories abound of the state launching investigations against this business figure or that financier. The pressure is drying up venture capital funds, scaring the young away from lucrative professions such as investment banking. The number of millionaires leaving China has been rising and peaked last year at 15,000 — dwarfing the exodus from any other nation.

Hilarious shit. It’s almost as if it’s impossible to get rich through honest and ethical means.

The only possible glowop related to lemmygrad that we know of is Wenger/Wisconcom; Some guy from the US who claims to be Hoxhaist/Stalinist and calls this site and prolewiki “revisionist” because people here support the PRC. He lurks here and other places and has been actively attempting to infiltrate/wreck lemmygrad and prolewiki for over 2 years now. So far all of his attempts have hilariously failed, but for some reason he just never gives up. He might even be reading this very thread from a different account. I recommend “The Wiscon Files” for a deep dive.

Unless suddenly strange things start happening here on lemmygrad I think there is no need for this much paranoia (unless you’re somehow a big threat to the imperial state).

It doesn’t help that they keep deprecating and changing standard stuff every other version. It’s like they can’t make up their mind and everything may be subject to change. Updating to the most recent release can suddenly cause 10s or 100s of compiler warnings/errors and things may no longer behave the same. Then you look up the new documentation and realize that you have to refactor a large part of the codebase because the “new way” is for whatever reason vastly different.

Here is the linked thread for people who don’t want to go to twitter:

Booker Ngesa Omole ☭:

There is no such a thing like sex work, period! Let’s address the misguided communists who claim “sex work” is legitimate labor. This notion betrays the fundamental principles of Marxism and aligns with capitalist exploitation rather than challenging it.

In a patriarchal society, prostitution isn’t just about humiliation—it’s the highest form of exploitation, primarily affecting poor and working-class women.These women aren’t “workers” in the traditional sense; they’re victims of a system that commodifies their bodies.

The relationship between those who purchase sex and those who sell it is not one of equality. It’s a relationship of oppression, where the powerful exert control over the powerless, perpetuating violence and exploitation.

To suggest that prostitution is anything other than the grossest form of exploitation ignores the brutal realities these women face: physical and psychological violence, poverty, and a society that views them as disposable.

Human beings should never be used as mere instruments for others’ ends. The commodification of women’s bodies contradicts the Marxist principle that people should not be treated as commodities.

True communists must reject the capitalist narrative that seeks to legitimize prostitution under the guise of “sex work.” Our fight is for a society where exploitation is abolished and where women are free from the shackles of patriarchy.

Anything less is a betrayal of our revolutionary ideals and a capitulation to the forces of reaction. We must stand firm against this dangerous rhetoric and fight for the liberation of all women from exploitation.

imo. people (especially comrades) should really consider using the fediverse.

Family told me apparently german media talked a lot of shit about the former east german commie regime the other day. Gotta “remind” the peasants every once in a while I guess.

On distros w/o systemd there is always syslog-ng. s6 also has its own log system.

It’s not necessary, but a good thing to have if something goes wrong and you want to debug/monitor something. It’s really up to you and your needs.

“Remove them from power” by vooting you mean right? Right?

Bummer, I thought he put up a 24/7 livestream. Anyone know a good stream of KCTV? kctv_elufa got banned on twitch. I know of chuo_tv but after a few days their stream just showed “NO SIGNAL”, went offline and hasn’t come back since.

These machines are probably on their national intranet at most with no connection to the Internet. Still it’s weird. Whenever I watch KCTV and they show computer labs all of the PCs run some version of Win 7. Same with images they show on Voice of Korea. I have yet to see RedStarOS or GNU/Linux in general on DPRK media.

Actually it’s ((unsigned long long)-1) total lost troops.

Because UNIX-like systems such as GNU/Linux or the BSDs are FOSS (free open source software) where the user owns the means of computing. They’re proven to be extremely flexible while consuming few resources. Not only do they cost nothing, but the user also has access to all the Source code which allows anyone to break and bend the system to fit any shape. For instance the entire Internet right now runs on Computers with some custom variant GNU/Linux or BSD. Every modem/router you’ve come across either runs some version of GNU/Linux or OpenBSD. Every PlayStation starting with 4 runs FreeBSD, Sony just modified it to suit their needs. Netflix’s entire infrastructure runs on computers with FreeBSD. Android and ChromeOS are built on top of Linux, Google just modified it to fit their needs. Valve’s Steam Deck runs SteamOS which is a custom variant of Arch Linux. Etc.

Literally the only scenario where Windows Server would make sense is if you’re a company that relies on decades old software that only runs on real Windows and most if not all your clients also run Windows. And even then it’s more of a “putting up with it” thing. Legitimate Windows Server licenses cost so much not because it’s quality software, but because Microsoft knows there is a lot of money to be made from people who are locked into their ecosystem. If you use Windows then Microsoft owns your computer and they call the shots. They just let you use it. Not to mention Windows phones home all the time and shows ads in many places and there is nothing you can do about it. If you have the choice why would you want to run a Server for a communist cause on such an OS?

UNIX-like systems aren’t perfect, but they’re much better than the alternatives.

At this point I’m convinced that all of them are funded by the CIA, unless proven otherwise. I can easily see them being another variant of “Radio Free Foobar”-outlets.

Too bad lemmy doesn’t show who upvoted/downvoted. Would be interesting to see.
