I'll never understand why tankies defend a colonial imperialist oligarchy like Russia when it has nothing to do with socialism/communism.

popcap200 ,

Yeah, I got banned from lemmy grad and hexbear awfully quick here and almost gave up on the whole fediverse before someone pointed out you can block instances.

How'd they find out the north Korea one?

Majora's mask graphic novel seems to be coming along well!

I'm sorry Frodo. The government has put too many regulations on eagle riding for it to be cost effective. Also, protestors in Gondor have concerns about flying eagles ruining the views from their huts' backyards. You can't simply fly the ring to Mordor.

how can something be so courageous and yet so true (slrpnk.net)

Edit: Jesus Christ, people. If you buy a $150 Thinkpad made by slave labor instead of a $1,200 MacBook made by slave labor, you're still supporting a capitalist economy based on slave labor. We all do. We have no choice. The number of smug liberals in the comments saying "well I buy a cheap used laptop" or "well I buy coffee...

Also, having seen new macs, if I wasn't into gaming the m chip macs seem better for the price than anything else on the market. 🤷‍♂️

popcap200 ,

Really? I thought I saw multiple benchmarks with the m-chips blowing all the other Intel and AMD chips out of the water.

popcap200 ,

Ah okay! Thank you for providing sources. It still seems like a competitive chip, but I see I was wrong about it being outright better.

I think the first two comparisons are a little unfair (unless I'm mistaken) since those are both desktop spec chips and apple doesn't realllyyy do desktops anymore.

popcap200 ,

Ohhh I missed the "H" when I read that. My bad.

Edit: Yeah, I saw the Mac Pro release, but didn't hear much after that. It seemed like it would end up being really niche. I didn't realize they had made a desktop specific m3 chip for it. This is what I get for not following tech recently haha.

I would imagine with apple's poor cooling, many of the Intel and AMD chips would perform worse in the real world in one of their laptops given the difference in power usage. That's just a theory though given their past thermal issues.

US sues Apple for illegal monopoly over smartphones (www.theverge.com)

The US Department of Justice and 16 state and district attorneys general accused Apple of operating an illegal monopoly in the smartphone market in a new antitrust lawsuit. The DOJ and states are accusing Apple of driving up prices for consumers and developers at the expense of making users more reliant on its iPhones.

popcap200 ,

The EU said so, and the US did successfully sue valve for monopoly practices.

popcap200 ,

Oh lol my b. I saw the ads for being eligible for compensation and thought they lost.

popcap200 ,

I'm confused. Did I miss the US directly killing Gaza Civilians, or are we talking about the selling weapons to the IDF? I haven't followed the latest news.

popcap200 ,

I mean I'd rather vote for the guy who didn't get rid of Roe v Wade, but that's just me.

popcap200 ,

Yeah! I love Biden. Between the student debt changes, build back better plan, insulin price changes for Medicare patients, helping Ukraine, etc. etc. all with only a 1 seat majority in the Senate, a conservative court that trump filled, and a now conservative house.

As for your other question, a Republic is still a form of Democracy. You have the ability to vote for whoever you want.

popcap200 ,

Whoever you wanna write in? Unfortunately for your personal beliefs, most Americans are batshit conservatives or moderate to progressive liberals, therefore usually a batshit Republican, and a moderate dem win the primaries, which frequently have more populist candidates as an option. Sanders was in the 2020 primary. I voted for him. He didn't win, so I voted for Biden in the general.

Maybe I'm wrong, but It feels like you'd have the same complaints you have under this system that you'd have under any democratic system of government.

popcap200 ,

A third party vote is still supporting Trump if you have a left mindset (and vice versa for conservatives). You CAN vote for whoever you want, that doesn't make it moral. The purpose of primaries is for the voters within the party to get together and decide the platform and candidate for that party.

Plus, between local and state elections, you have even more say with your vote. You could even run for office locally and have a chance of winning.

popcap200 ,

Your issue isn't with the lack of choice. Your issue is that your candidates don't win.

popcap200 ,

A new Ahoy video dropped recently!

I feel like it's even advantageous to them to pirate. If everyone wanting to work in graphic design pirates Photoshop, they'll know how to use it in the business world, and their work will buy it because it's what everyone knows.

Imagine how reliable printers will finally be. And how long the ink will last before a refill now! /s.

I was hoping for an Expanse meme. I didn't get an Expanse meme. :(
