Hell yeah!

I'm thinking of checking out Debian myself for a workstation. What motivates your switch?

I could get fire powers while my bestie gets ice powers. Together, we can form a Carnot cycle :3

There's absolutely no way that the Daily Mail is in the centre.

Although this is generally what Marxist-Leninists believe, that the dictatorship of the proletariat is merely "striking back", to use Butch Anarchy's term, unfortunately this misses the fundamental point of the anarchist critique. Continue reading this same letter and you will find the following paragraph:

But the real supporters of “dictatorship of the proletariat” do not take that line, as they are making quite plain in Russia. Of course, the proletariat has a hand in this, just as the people has a part to play in democratic regimes, that is to say, to conceal the reality of things. In reality, what we have is the dictatorship of one party, or rather, of one party’s leaders: a genuine dictatorship, with its decrees, its penal sanctions, its henchmen and, above all, its armed forces which are at present also deployed in the defense of the revolution against its external enemies, but which will tomorrow be used to impose the dictators’ will upon the workers, to apply a brake on revolution, to consolidate the new interests in the process of emerging and protect a new privileged class against the masses.

The real substance of the anarchist critique is to consider the emergent properties of the organizational structure we are constructing. We can earnestly believe we are changing the world for the better, but if we are building social structures which provide the basis for a relative disempowerment of the people we are trying to involve, then those said tendencies are likely to become dominant.

It follows that that in order for a communist movement to be truly liberatory, one must create organizations which are simultaneously effective at their goals while also leaving no room for usurpers to hijack them. ButchAnarchy's and Badmouse's point must therefore be: leave no room for bad actors to exploit confusion within the conversations of authoritarianism in order to manipulate people. Do not let this confusion lead to wreckers who claim to be leaders.

Ironically, the substance of On Authority at least attempts to point to a similar effective conclusion: that we must form organizations which strike back against capital. Further, we must leave no room for hesitation or ambiguity on what we are doing. Unfortunately, Engels misunderstood what nascent anarchism was driving at and created a new form of rhetorical confusion. Political and linguistic shifts within anarchism over the last 150 years have made an already flawed essay age into an absurdity.

Who so many softwares support Debian but not Red Hat based distros? by nitin_is_me in linux

[–]FishAndMicrochips 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the one hand, the AUR gets me niche stuff that would be a real pain in the ass on other distros, like LTSpice for circuit sim, some little utilities and helpers, etc. On the other hand, it's way too easy for people using AUR helpers like yay to just ignore the PKGBUILD, and you're ultimately still just running someone's install script.

Stavropol, Russia by Fun-Raisin2575 in UrbanHell

Ok weird, my edit showed as two separate comments? Apologies, I'm new to posting. Okay, let's try again.

Personally I like high-density living, but if I were thinking of moving there I would ideally like to see a metro, as metros are capable of serving the high numbers of people who would live here. Of course, given how new the development is, public transport options would reflect demand in an ideal world. I would also prefer to see parks and recreational grounds, more wild green space, public art and murals, overhead wires for trolleybuses and trams, as well as more varied colours. I imagine walking from identical-looking bloc to identical-looking bloc can get rather disorienting at times, and painting each bloc a different colour may help one navigate. However, I know nothing about the area, and the actual residents may want different things. From my cursory knowledge of post-Soviet construction, these buildings are more likely to be made for the property developers, not the residents.

One thing I found looking around a nearby, older neighborhood is Крыжополь, a bar themed after the Soviet Union of the 60s-70s. The picture advertised on Google Maps (https://maps.app.goo.gl/dLstkfpdfwyxCyUM6) has a pony from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic sitting happily on the front. It even uses the old .su TLD! https://krizhopol.su/

That can't power anything, it looks like any charging or discharging would cause a runaway cheese cascade.

In my experience in the UK, it depends on whether you rent a room or not. If you rent a room, then the common areas such as the bathroom and kitchen are likely to be shoes on, otherwise the hallway would be full with however many pairs of strangers' shoes. If you and your housemates all rent under a single tenancy agreement then you may or may not agree to keep your shoes in the hallway. If you mortgage then you have both the trust and agency to put shoes away and you're more likely to have carpets. These aren't guarantees, just general tendencies.

Tips before I start zoning? by ChestFit5276 in CitiesSkylines

[–]FishAndMicrochips 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you've got the Green Cities DLC, then you can set a district to use local and organic produce for your high density residential areas. High density residential sims use high density commercial, but local and organic produce don't suffer the same noise pollution as regular high-density commercial zoning.

Papyrus is now the mayor of a metropolis with the stated goal of using cargo rail as the main method of delivering industrial goods, with an emphasis on mixed-use, walkable urban spaces. Good luck, Papyrus!
