thank you!

haha :)

but it’s also about price. do i buy the 200g package at 2,50€ or the 350g package at 4,20€?

having things broken down to “per 100g” helps me with that.

why are they called authoritarian? what books did they write?

was it on some nightcore music video?

the thing is that different people use different serving sizes. – written by somebody who pours lots of oil over salad.

what i don’t get is who uses that little oil that they have to spray it? i just pour oil all over it.

that’s why it should say “calories per 100g” instead. no way i’m gonna just use 0.25g. that’s like eating a single potato chip then putting the package away.

i’m not sure about asuna. i’ve played mineclonia before which has exact same mechanics as minecraft. to get obsidian, you need to pour water on lava (and not the other way around, i.e. not pour lava on water). the lava has to be a lava source block, so flowing lava does not work. easiest thing to do is to just find an underground cave with lots of lava in it, and then use 1 bucket of water and pour it over it all. easily get 20 obsidian at once. you need a diamond pickaxe to mine it though, otherwise you don’t get any drops.

uhh, i don’t go out and riot because i don’t have the emotional energy to do that. i play computer games because that’s free (in case of luanti, mindustry etc) and i can actually feel good while doing it.

i would go out more if it was easier to meet people in non-profit places, i.e. places where you don’t have to spend money just to exist.

i still wouldn’t riot though because harm has never helped anything, it just makes things worse. we need constructive criticism instead.

plus: most people learn graphically (visually) much easier than text-based. at least for me, it’s much easier to build an intuition of something if i get a graphical display of the contents in a directory. that’s why i always ls -alh every new directory that i enter, before i do anything else. for many people, it’s better to use GUI file explorer because you also get image previews etc. but the same concept also applies to other issues:

like, if you want to configure various hardware on your machine, you open the settings app and get many icons that you can click on. meanwhile, on the terminal, there’s no clear list of things that you can even configure.

i used AI last week to modify the characters that get produced when i type special key combinations on my keyboard. after looking with classical search engines (duckduckgo, google) for about 20 minutes and getting confused with not much of a clear answer, i asked chatgpt and got the task done in 15 minutes and learned a whole lot while doing it, because it also explained exactly why the files are the way they are.

the issue with the terminal is that you can easily fuck up really badly if you don’t know what you’re doing.

the following look the same to a new user:

rcifconfig -r 0 -f puny -l all

rctrl -r all -i root -f

(both are imaginary made-up comments sothat you cannot just say "oh well obviously one does this and the other one does that)

then one goes on to nuke your home directory while the other one restarts the wifi adapter.

(and this can actually happen in practice. consider all the “always remove the french language pack” jokes that has been going around for years.)

for graphical user interfaces, you typically have icons to help you give a sense of what it’s doing, typically warning signs before you do anything dangerous, etc.

but what to do as the enterprise grows varies. And sometimes a state may coordinate production even early on. For example important technologies may be developed by university researchers and to enter production they are state-funded and forced to collaborate with other researchers, with a petty bourgeois payoff (salary, ownership that dwindles until it enters a certain tier, etc). The latter also happens under capitalism but the profits are entirely privatized, capital feeds off the state funding, whereas the point of this industrial policy in socialist states is to either build missing productive capacity, to socialize much of the gains, and eventually turn over to co-ops and state-run enterprise, etc.

ok, i can understand this. so it’s small-business are private run while bigger businesses are organized differently?

to sum it up, i’d like to add a point. businesses spend money mostly on 4 categories:

• raw materials
• wages for workers
• machinery (this one has to be largely paid up-front)
• profits to shareholders

so to “socialize much of the gains” means that company profits are either redirected to the community (“state-run enterprise”), or redirected into extra wages (“co-ops”), am i seeing this correctly?

eh i’m not sure whether this could gather enough resources. for a lot of industries, you need massive machines just to start doing anything. like, basically all heavy industry, construction jobs (consider modern cranes are often 100m high), anything more complicated than what you could do in a village.

omg that’s hilarious. thank you

yeah, there’s a mastodon account posting these. they’re gold.

hell yeah join the club 😆

eh i remember when a bank robber who stole $100 got 20 years in prison (because it was bank robbery) meanwhile a cop who shot an unarmed innocent civilian got away with a fine.

the cops are not there to protect you, they’re there to protect the banks.

unfortunately true. this whole gender issue has been used as a huuge distraction scheme from the economic situation and other urgent issues.

oh very interesting. i’ve been wanting to get into the details of how federation actually works, and i wanted to figure out why mastodon<->lemmy federation does often not seem to work. but i guess that’s a deep rabbit hole too!
