China: Using slave labor to makrnchesp EVs and sell them on the global market at a loss to drive out competition and gain a monopoly (this is what communism looks like apparently).

don't like this

in reply to GhostedIC

Ah yes, will you just look at all this "slave labor" in China

90% of families in the country own their home giving China one of the highest home ownership rates in the world. What’s more is that 80% of these homes are owned outright, without mortgages or any other leans. forbes.com/sites/wadeshepard/2…

Student debt in China is virtually non-existent. forbes.com/sites/jlim/2016/08/…

Chinese household savings hit another record high in 2024 wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-mar…

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. nber.org/system/files/working_…

From 1978 to 2000, the number of people in China living on under $1/day fell by 300 million, reversing a global trend of rising poverty that had lasted half a century (i.e. if China were excluded, the world’s total poverty population would have risen) semanticscholar.org/paper/Chin…

The comparison is a bit hasty, since in the US your not accused of being a "foreign agent" and imprisoned when you reveal war crimes committed by the army (search about Memorial NGO).
in reply to MrMobius

Assange, Manning, and Snowden would like to have a word with you.
in reply to ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆

Anna Politkovskaya (Novaya Gazeta), Stanislav Markelov (Novaya Gazeta), Anastasia Baburova (Novaya Gazeta) and Natalia Estemirova (Memorial) would like to have a word with you… No wait they can't, caused they were all killed.

My point is democraties like the US are clearly flawed, but not to the point of assassinating their own citizens.
But no point in debating with you, you're probably an agent hired by Moscow to spread its propaganda.

in reply to MrMobius

The US absolutely assassinates political figures like Fred Hampton. The US isn't a democracy, it's a dictatorship of capital.

Still putting the US on the same level as Russia in terms of human rights violations is absurd. And the ideal is to improve human rights conditions in both countries, not to argue over which one's the worst country.
Anyway, with how things are going, the US are going to be as bad as Russia in a few years.
in reply to MrMobius

Still putting the US on the same level as Russia in terms of human rights violations is absurd.


Agreed. Russia hasn't been couping a random country and slaughtering its people for the last fifty years. Neither is it aiding and abetting a genocide.

in reply to MrMobius

The US has by far the worse human rights record, and is easily the most evil empire in world history. They just killed over a million innocent civilians a few years ago in Iraq, running torture camps and assassination programs. Its perpetrated countless atrocities in nearly every single country .
in reply to MrMobius

Still putting the US on the same level as Russia in terms of human rights violations is absurd.


you're right, the usa is orders of magnitude worse

And the ideal is to improve human rights conditions in both countries, not to argue over which one’s the worst country.


you literally started this thread by doing exactly that

in reply to MrMobius

Correct, the genocidal US Empire far-outscales the problems with the Russian Federation, and it isn't close. The US Empire is the world's hegemon and absolutely plunders the global south, couping, sanctioning, invading, and genociding those who go against that system of plunder.
in reply to MrMobius

You're right, the US was built on slavery and genocide. Today, it has higher incarceration rate today than USSR had during purges under Stalin. There is absolutely no comparison here.
in reply to MrMobius

The US has many political prisoners - Here's a list

Alan Dershowitz Sues Farmers Market Vendor For Refusing To Sell Him Child




Paris air traffic controller broadcasts “Free Palestine” to El Al pilots


Less than a week after an ~~antisemitic~~ incident at El Al's Paris offices, an air traffic controller at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris told El Al pilots "Free Palestine" over the radio, 12 minutes after takeoff.

The incident follows another ~~antisemitic attack~~ in Paris last week, when a disturbing scene was discovered outside the Israeli airline's offices: the office sign had been vandalized with hate-filled graffiti, including the phrase "EL AL GENOCIDE AIRLINE," red paint had been splashed on the walls and door, and pro-Palestinian graffiti had been sprayed on the wall. The employees had not yet arrived at the office at the time.

Yeah, I think this is a terrible way to address the problem and very likely a way for elites to re-assert their control over information sources using this emergency.

It's certainly not about 'protecting children' in the way that they're presenting it.

androidastica sparizione delle icone dei ragni (glitch per cui le scorciatoie web spariscono dal launcher)


Tutte le volte che penso, presumo, ritengo di odiare tremendamente Android… puntualmente scopro che il mio odio è sempre più basso di quello che davvero dovrebbe essere per questo sistema oberativo letteralmente bacato, infestato dai problemi, introgolato di merda che porca puttana… SPARISCONO LE FOTTUTE SCORCIATOIE SULLA SCHERMATA HOME!!! Una roba così pestifera non è mai successa nemmeno su Windows, o qualunque altro sistema che notoriamente non funziona mai bene… Sarà forse questo, la sparizione delle icone, che i fanboy segretamente intendono quando dicono che “su Android tutto è possibile“…??? 😫

Più di preciso, qualche settimana fa mi stavo (ri)lamentando di questo problema per cui a volte, a caso, quando gli piace a lui, stranamente non sempre (insomma, non è manco un bug ricreabile al 100%), dopo un riavvio del sistema mi spariscono tutte (zio totalitario…) le scorciatoie ai siti, sia normali che PWA, appunto dalla home… ma mai nessuna scorciatoia ad app native. A quel punto però avevo preso atto della merdata, avevo imputato immediatamente tutta la colpa al launcher di MIUI (dato che non ricordo questa cosa succedere su altri dispositivi o altre ROM), e avevo quindi installato Lawnchair (usando il terminale per superare il blocco di cambio launcher), e perdendo così 20 crediti sociali… 💔

Peccato che stamattina è successo di nuovo, dopo che ho dovuto riavviare il telefono perché dal nulla mentre lo stavo usando aveva preso a glitcharsi, con la app che avevo in foreground che era crashata e la home che mostrava una schermata nera anziché caricare il launcher… e quindi, sotto sotto, la colpa non era di Xiaomi, e quindi ancora una volta la deduzione dei miei crediti sociali si rivela giustificata. In effetti, cercando un po’ meglio dell’altra volta, ho trovato sul web delle segnalazioni di questo preciso glitch… e in effetti la cosa non pare legata per niente a Xiaomi: . 🙀

Mi verrebbe da pensare che non ho mai notato questa rogna nel lontano passato solo perché non usavo così tante webapp… ma sul tablet attualmente ho più o meno la stessa quantità di scorciatoie del telefono, eppure rimozioni coatte lì non ne ho ancora (ancora…) mai (mai!!!) viste. Comunque sia, un fatto rimane, e cioè che questo è un fottuto problema, perché le scorciatoie alle webapp MI SERVONO! E il perché lo dice il nome stesso: sono short-cuts, servono a tagliare corto, cosa che è specialmente necessaria su un dispositivo che già è laggante… ma poi perché le webapp vanno per forza installate sulla home per fungere da PWA, quindi avere la loro scheda nella schermata multitasking e non avere l’interfaccia del browser in alto a rubare spazio. 😵

La cosa più strana è che, a questo punto, non riesco a comprendere a cosa sia quindi dovuto il problema. Tolti launcher e ROM, penserei al browser stesso (o parte di esso, in caso di fork), nonostante una app Android di per sé non abbia alcun modo di far sparire le sue stesse scorciatoie… ma, nonostante buona parte delle volte le icone che spariscono sono quelle di Mulch (Chromium), sono abbastanza sicura di aver visto anche quelle poche di Firefox che ancora avevo in giro venir spedite al regno delle ombre, una (1) volta quella settimana passata in cui cringiavo con i launcher e mi si era inspiegabilmente resettato il predefinito da Lawnchair a quello MIUI dopo un riavvio. La stringa di Intent per le scorciatoie di Chromium è perfettamente identica a qualsiasi di deep link per qualsiasi app nativa, se non per il fatto che il nome interno è un UUID anziché il nome della Activity ripetuto, quindi perché cazzo spariscono??? 🌋

Un telefono con la mela stampata dietro, ovviamente, non posso permettermelo, nonostante (almeno, penso, poi che la mia aura sia capace di far spuntare sempre bug in tutto è un’altra storia) lì le icone non prendano a fottutamente sparire da un momento all’altro dalla home… quindi, che cazzo si fa??? Non lo so. A parte magari provare Edge (sigh) anche sul telefono oltre che sul tablet, perché hanno cambiato talmente tanta roba in quel robo che forse il bug non c’è… potrei solo rispolverare l’idea del browserocto, quel browserino minimale fatto principalmente per le webapp che non fu mai completato… Ma comunque CHE PALLE, sia mai che le cose funzionino! 😭

Unreleased Movie Screeners Leak Online, Including Star-Studded 'In the Hand of Dante'


Just weeks before its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, Julian Schnabel's star-studded film 'In the Hand of Dante' has suffered a major setback after a high-quality screener copy leaked online. The leak is not an isolated incident as copies of other unreleased movies have also appeared online, some of which also have an Italian connection.

A brainrot game with ingame purchases won against megacorps, because they didnt allow the brainrot to have their own brainrot in-game purhases.
in reply to Rooki

It was never about the games. It's about who can be the gatekeeper between the game devs and billions of people on the planet. That gatekeeping gig is a genuine racket: they charge 15% to 30% just for the privilege of distributing an app and hosting a bunch of servers for download. Yeah, there's a lot to that, but is it really worth 30% of the top line? Not even the Credit Card companies, famous for screwing over small merchants, charge that much to process payments.
in reply to dhork

It was always about the game. What you just described was just their argument to win in court. All Epic cares about is their own profit margins and control over distribution. That the ruling might be a net positive for others is incidental.
in reply to kalmarin

It was always about the game.

All Epic cares about is their own profit margins and control over distribution.


These statements contradict each other. If all Epic cares about is money, the other game doesn't matter as long as it sells.

in reply to dhork

I fail to see the contradiction. They want their own game on their own platform, where they control everything. It just irks me that they present themselves as champions of justice is all.

📊 Solo il 6% della plastica è usato per l’abbigliamento. Perché la moda inquina così tanto?


Uno studio dell’UNDP rivela che solo il 6% della plastica globale finisce nell’abbigliamento, contro il 31% degli imballaggi o il 16% dell’edilizia. Eppure, la moda è spesso considerata uno dei settori più inquinanti al mondo. Come mai?

🔍 Cosa non dice quel 6%?

I dati dell’UNDP misurano solo la plastica come materia prima, ma l’impatto della moda va ben oltre:

• 🌊 Inquinamento idrico: Il 20% dell’inquinamento industriale delle acque viene dalle tinture tessili (Banca Mondiale). I tessuti sintetici (es. poliestere) rilasciano microplastiche, responsabili del 35% dell’inquinamento da microplastiche negli oceani (IUCN).

• ☁️ Emissioni : La moda produce 4-10% delle emissioni globali di CO₂ (più di aerei e navi insieme, UNEP).

• 🗑️ Rifiuti : Ogni secondo, un camion di vestiti finisce in discarica o viene bruciato (Ellen MacArthur Foundation). Meno dell’1% viene riciclato.

• 💧 Risorse: Una maglietta di cotone richiede 2.700 litri d’acqua (WWF).

🏆 La moda è davvero il 2° settore più inquinante?

Dipende dagli studi:

• 1° posto: Petrolio e gas.

• 2° posto: Alcuni includono la moda per l’insieme di danni (acqua, CO₂, rifiuti). Altri la piazzano dopo agricoltura o allevamento.

Conclusione

Quel 6% è solo la punta dell’iceberg. L’inquinamento della moda deriva dall’intero ciclo: produzione, uso, smaltimento. Serve un cambio sistemico, non solo sostituire il poliestere.

Cosa fare?

• Sostenere la moda circolare.

• Comprare meno, indossare di più.

• Pretendere trasparenza dai brand.

📌 Fonte: UNDP | Ellen MacArthur Foundation

Is a daily-driver computer built on top of a hypervisor a bad idea?


TLDR; tell me if this is a waste of time before I spend forever tinkering on something that will always be janky

I want to run multiple OSs on one machine including Linux, Windows, and maybe OSX from a host with multiple GPUs + igpu. I know there are multiple solutions but I'm looking for advice, opinions and experience. I know I can google how-to but is this worh pursuing?

I currently dual boot Bazzite and Ubuntu, for gaming and develoent respectively. I love Bazzite ease of updates and Ubuntu is where it's at for testing and building frontier AI/ML tools.

What if I kept my computer running a thin hypervisor 24/7 and switched VMs based on my working context? I could pass through hardware as needed.

Proxmox? XCP-NG? Debian + QEMU? Anyone living with these as their computing machines (not homelabs/server hosts)?

This is inspired by Chris Tidus's (YouTube) setup on arch but 1) i don't know arch 2) I have a fairly beefy i7 265k 192gb build, but he's on an enterprise xenon ddr5 build so in a differenrent power class 3) I have a heterogenous mix of graphics cards I'm hoping to pass though depending on workload

Use cases:
* Bazzite + 1 gpu for gaming
* Ubuntu + 1 or more GPUs for work
* Windows + 0 or more GPU Music Production paid vstis and kernel-level anti cheat games (GTAV, etc)
* OSX? Lightroom? GPU?

Edit: Thank you all for your thoughts and contributions

Edit: what I've learned
* this is viable but might be a pain
* a Windows VM for getting around anti-cheat in vames defeats the purpose. I'd need a dual boot for that use case
* hyperV is a no. Qubes Qemu libvirt, yes
* may want to just put everything on sparate disks and boot / VM into them as needed

Edit: distrobox/docker works great but doesn't fit all my needs because I can't install kernel-level modules in them (AFAIK)

I am very aware if the PCIE lane circus you have to go through on consumer hardware. I considered building a used/refurb EPYC system and even borrowed one from work for a bit. It was nice, but my build would have put me somewhere near $6000 at best. Hahahahh 😭
in reply to afk_strats

I hacked together a similar setup back when, for logistical reasons, I had to squeeze everything on one machine.

It's doable, but be prepared for some challenges.

You will probably have a much better time than I did given the abundance of RAM. Getting graphics to work properly is the most arduous part. I never really figured that part out. Having to forward USB accessories also got really tedious.

Call for action: Help draw attention to ForgeFed


Golden opportunity: Microsoft CoreAI Github shenanigans ..


We have seen various huge influxes of people to the fediverse from Twitter and other platforms. At these times countless fedizens sprung into action to advocate for fedi, and helping out.

With the recent developments at Github with their CEO stepping down and not being replaced, and GH effectively becoming part of Microsoft's AI division we have yet another event where it is time to promote the powers of ActivityPub and the potential of ForgeFed to help lead us towards the future of the social web.

social.coop/@smallcircles/1150…

@fr33domlover is the initiator and together with André Jaenisch the only two persons who try to both further the specifications as well as build reference implementations for them. With the help of NLnet support via NGI0 funding.

As fedi dev community now is the time to attract attention to their work, and perhaps spend a bit of time to provide feedback to the open issues in the ForgeFed tracker, that has been very sparse thus far.

codeberg.org/ForgeFed/ForgeFed…

📢 CALL TO FEDIVERSE

Tons of discussion about seeking alternatives to #Microsoft #Github, now that it has become part of MS's #AI division.

What made GH so popular, we should ask? Well, a ton of features and services on top of #git and a huge platform that makes exploring millions of #FOSS projects easy, are among the reasons I suppose.

The #ActivityPub @forgefed project funded by #NGI0 via @nlnet is creating open standards to provide the same, *native* to the #fediverse!

Yet they need HELP.

new academic book about the fediverse just released!!!


Better social media is possible.

In his new book Move Slowly and Build Bridges, Robert W. Gehl tells the story of the activists, software developers, artists, and everyday people who have built the fediverse, a noncentralized alternative social media system. Unlike big tech corporations like Facebook, TikTok, or X, the fediverse is comprised of thousands of small, independent communities who use a Web protocol to communicate with one another.

These small communities govern themselves and moderate content at the human scale — compare that to Facebook and X, which try to moderate global conversations. And the fediverse isn’t built in order to gather user data and sell attention to marketers — it’s a more privacy-respecting social media alternative.

The most notable part of the fediverse is Mastodon. Founded in 2016, Mastodon was positioned as an alternative to Twitter. Like Twitter (or X), Mastodon members can post, like, share, and connect with one another across the world. Unlike Twitter/X, Mastodon can be completely under the control of its members, from how it’s run to its underlying software.

Making a noncentralized, ethically run social media system isn’t easy. The people building the fediverse have faced long hours, burnout, angry debates, and, worst of all, bigotry, death threats, and discrimination. They face constant, nagging doubts: Can we really do this? Can noncentralized social media survive in a world that is used to corporate social media? Can we—all of us—have our own social media?

As Move Slowly and Build Bridges shows us, the answer is yes, but it’s going to take a struggle.



The soy milk is OK


Lactose in enough quantities gets my tummy rumbling in a bad way so I'm trying out alternatives.

Oat milk in hipster coffee drinks is pretty good.

Soy milk as a protein and calcium beverage is fine. Tastes OK.

There is lactose-free milk too but that is still suspect. Either it's not all the way lactose free or too much of any kind of dairy quakes my intestines.

in reply to ODGreen

If you end up liking oat milk you should try making it yourself. It's ridiculously cheap and easy. It doesn't last nearly as long without the preservatives of store bought, but you can stagger making small batches to match your usage if needed.

in reply to lightrush

That is very impressive! Although to be honest I question the accuracy of all those estimated power draws. I would be interested to see an endurance test of your battery- assuming your battery capacity is accurate, your runtime on a full charge should line up with your power draw.

Banning protests in the UK under the fake guise of terrorism is a despicable move that makes us no different to Russia or China or countries we are supposedly superior to because of our moral human rights framework.

Gaza has proved all of this to be a hoax. It shows that tolerating a genocide and war crimes against brown people only invites the same authoritarian tactics to be rolled out against Western populations when they become troublesome.

Ill conceived idea to resurrect a dead torrent


Hi, let me know if this is obviously stupid and won't work. I'm an old pirate but obviously still pretty uneducated. I've got a dead torrent that's a collection of roms. 4 seeders, 800 abandoned peers (ungrateful basterds). Seeders are rarely online or can't provide more than 8% after a week. The roms are pretty mainstream and it's strange for this torrent to have been abandoned.

If I can find find the exact releases of as many roms as possible in the collection from other singular sources, can I resurrect this torrent by just copy+overwrite into the unfinished folder? is it that simple or is this hubris? am I too old to be this stupid?

in reply to sad_detective_man

This is a neat idea and it will totally work, but they need to be the EXACT same files down to the checksums and file names. This could be harder to pull off than it sounds but it's absolutely possible.
in reply to sad_detective_man

this is why i have about 200 seeding torrents in my client because i just know that the second i stop someones gonna want it 💔
