For a sec I was worried you were calling me out. And then I remembered what this comment was about πŸ˜…

I've noticed it also quite a lot in terms of data privacy and choosing European Email providers and Software in general as well. Tuta always advocates for that, being a German Email provider

Yoooooo! That woman is so cooool! I always love her reels! She is so calm and very polite explaining China and communism in a very amicable manner, and just as a better place to be. I believe she got engaged recently. But she's so cool.

I believe invidious (the one that bot always links to) is a nice frontend if you wanna watch from your browser that eliminates ads. But ofc, can't have access to the googlo accout. But you can create a custom one to at least have subscriptions.

inv.nadeko.net

is such an instane from someone in Chile. You can also self host.

Oh no...

I'm honestly pretty worried about people flying around the place on their own. It makes it so much easier to mess up, I believe, and way more dangerous than what cars currently are.

Hope they are reeeeally careful with how, or if they actually roll these out, because it could be such a nightmare...

And as always, fuck cars, and long live pedestrianization and public transit. It is technologicalny impressive, though, and the autopilot could be a lot better. But still...gives me the ick

I really liked this. It kind of reminds me a bit of the last few chapters of Jason Hickel's How Degrowth Will Save The World. Where he talks about the intelligence of trees precisely, and the relationship indigenous tribes have with nature being a lot more like coexistance rather than exploitation. Nice read.

Now you have to get Matrix as well

I love it, and I find it super funny, yes. And I do agree with some of you that they end up portraying Ostania more like nazism than the USSR, per se, imo.

But I do agree thta the show is very Orwellian, and wish it wasn't. But I still find it too funny, honestly.

And given that we don't really know what is up in Westalia, I'd say that honestly Ostania doesn't look like USSR to me, and much more like Germany, as I mentioned before. Also the red circus guys being anti-Ostania kinda aligns with that interpretation, in my mind.

(I haven't finished it. I'm all caught up watching the anime on Crunchyroll, but idk if it's already finished.)

But I'd recommend it for a good laugh.

I don't know if this counts as non-theory, but I've been reading Marx at The Arcade, recently, and I've found it fun. Analysis of the gaming industry.

GenZedong is the only one that comes to mind, but itt's not really book specific.

(Just pitcing in. No clue if that's what the other guy was referring to)

I don't know how related it is to your question or topic, but I'm currently reading a book called Marx at the Arcade, and perhaps you would find it related to your chaos. Specially because it deals with the production or games, and also the nature of play, with a Marxist perspective.

Edit: I also made a post about an article I read, which also gives a summary of the book and is what convinced me to buy it.

(But that is more related to gamers, perhaps)

 

Okay, so I'm not sure if this is the place to post this, of it should be on Freechat or some other place, but being a gamer who has lately been somewhat conflicted between the need to

touch grassAs alluded to by the guys at TheDeprogram Podcast on their episode titled Touch Grass
, which ironically means just have fun playing videogames, and not just focusing on being a socialist 24/7 and all the things one is missing by not reading enough theory, or not organizing, or not working, or blablablablabla...

But I'd always love to see some sort of marxist analysis of programming, and software, and ofc...videogames! And so this is just an article by Jacobin Magazine, which summarizes the contents of the book

(which I've not read)But looks intresting given what the article says
Marx at the Arcade.

And I thought it would be the perfect thing to share here in Lemmygrad. Hope I'm not mistaken posting this here.
