it might work on any linux. did you try it?

I was asking if I understood what you were saying properly. Your answer is some accusations against me.

I really dislike how everything this man says or does is interpreted like it is instruction from god.

If Linus torvalds jumped off a bridge, half the Linux nerds would line up to do the same.

Makes me think it is also representative of the trend in physical production and construction. In the US there were decades of high output. Starting nineteenth century, even more after WW2. But then everything became complacent, outsourced, unmaintained, deregulated.

It is a general trend for sure, not a new innovation. Like elon musk doging the government. Same effect. Now all that skill is gone. Did you see the post that FBI now can now hire people with criminal records of bestiality?

All the stuff about Iran vs US military production and capacity also. Iran was exempted from the trend due to circumstances.

Maybe they try to eliminate the middle class as much as possible so it will not be an annoyance for them in the future.

Cool! Where is the git repo?

unmoving and unchanging state of ownership and the permanence of bourgeois rule is presupposed

Are you saying that Awoo has a negative attitude towards AI because they aren’t taking into account a possible future where we have revolutions, or otherwise seize the means of production? They are negating the agency of the working class to become organized, then fix the problems they raise? And since this might happen, it is treasonous against the future society to raise and perhaps even attempt to address the problems as they present themselves now?

It reminds me of that tech ideology (effective altruism? Or another one?) where they consider all potential future people as valuae as currently living people. So anything done today can be justified if in their theoretical future, it might result in an increase of humans.

Neither of the examples you are providing are ideal approaches, but personally I might prefer the first one. It kind of sounds like they are asking a question but badly. But it is possible to approach this kind of conversation way more tactfully. And to the advantage of the manager because people will be more comfortable and less defensive.

There are a million ways your scenario could happen. Another possibility is that the manager misunderstood something. My last boss was notorious for approaching people, very serious and grimly, with accusations of wrong doing. then when the worker would go ask the “accusor” it would turn out to have been some totally innocuous comment or like someone making a joke or mild social-type complaint or giving feedback on the workplace as a whole. And this included situations where multiple people were present and everyone agreed, so its not just someone lying to preserve the relationship. I was on both sides if the exchange myself. When i heard that i had made an “accusation” I had made I really had to think hard to figure out the grain of reality it was based upon. That’s just one example of what could have transpired.

As you may infer from that story, “accusations” were pretty commonplace. And it was overall a good job, just that manager didn’t know how to do their role. 2 in 4 years is a pretty good run.

It shows how resource-rich we are to just have tech sitting there idling all the time. Same principal as the old SETI at home. Made nefarious.

If someone should use one of these networks to do a public hack which associates itself with trans people or palestine, then it’d get slapped.

I sort of do think mandolins should be banned tbh.

The top level comment is now deleted. But the thread reminds me the Promise software. It was an early tool to integrate and analyze information about court activities nationally for “patterns”.

Canada came knocking on the developers door to enforce their language equality rules and have the thing translated. They were like “who sold you this?” Turns out DOJ was reselling it worldwide (with some back doors).

To fuck with Canada you should not forget the French. If he started talking about a Muslim ban he could probably get a bunch of support there.

while there is clearly a genocide, and the attacks on the flotilla were probably illegal, I don’t easily see how the flotilla attacks were genocidal.

so far the fash appear to be stable, no matter how miserable and immiserating their actions may appear from the outside.

well if you merge with the US military I’m sure that helps

the rest is just social housing

I find the concept of breeders very intuitively icky. But if we are going to continue to live with dogs (and there’s no reason to think that will stop anytime soon) they need to come from somewhere. Where? Assuming you don’t have a feral dog community, which most places don’t want to have.

And doesn’t it seem better to be able to get a small dog that’ll be happy in an apartment without a lot of space to run around if that’s where you find yourself? I’ve seen situations of dogs that are obviously mismatched to their environment and it is miserable. I don’t see the whole “breeder” concept would be needed if people would be flexible about the exact details of what they end up with.

Over the years I try to stop judging people who have those expensive dogs. I figure it’s like being religious or something; I’ll never really understand but apparently the good outweighs the bad for them. If I were in charge I’d ban dog breeders and religion on the first day and then whoever wanted to get unbanned would have to explain why their project is not bad and be subject to committee oversight in implementation.

what’s the communist line on breeding dogs like that?

my gut instinct is that it’s a nasty thing to do. those poor things always snorting and slobbering and having all kinds of problems. I know some otherwise-normal people who have this kind of dog. and it was on purpose, they paid good cash to have the exact characteristics they want.

I think it’s probably OK to breed for temperament and approximate adult size so people can get animals that are suited to their lifestyles. anyone who has a legitimate need for a working dog can also do their thing, within guidelines I can’t speculate about because I don’t know enough.

Some communists have thought breeding dogs was OK, at least for some purposes. Most famously the Silver Fox . Perhaps there are other examples.

Mangione said he learned the exact location of UnitedHealthcare’s conference by emailing the company, posing as an investor with more than $50 billion in capital.

Next time you are in an anti phishing training at work, be sure to share about this cautionary tale to help drive the point home.

Its a good article.

The changes at Downtown Magnets High School followed a complaint filed in March with LAUSD’s Office of Student Civil Rights by Emet Legal Services, alleging violations of anti-discrimination statutes, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and California’s Assembly Bill (AB) 715. Specifically, the complaint, which Truthout reviewed, alleged that Tiffany Do, an 11th-grade social studies and health teacher, had created a hostile environment for Jewish faculty and students by displaying Palestinian flags in the classroom, wearing a keffiyeh in their staff photo on the school’s website and sometimes on campus, and “fail[ing] to present pro-Israel or pro-Zionist speech, posters, or classroom content.” The complaint claimed Do had “indoctrinate[d] students to become political activists while silencing and intimidating Jewish and Israeli-American staff and students.”

When the complaint was filed, it triggered an investigation covering the previous six months of Do’s curricular material, classroom decorations, and professional conduct. Do was interviewed and required to turn over classroom materials, this time to the Office of Student Civil Rights. The school’s principal, history and ethnic studies coordinators, director and operations coordinator, and 15 students in Do’s classes were also interviewed.

The findings of the investigation were announced in late April. It found that Do had used only “limited Israel-Palestine-related” materials, including a single Teen Vogue article about Ireland’s solidarity with Palestine, which was offered as one of seven possible options during a reading assignment, and Democracy Now!’s Top U.S. and World Headlines segment. Students watched those segments every Tuesday, and the segments sometimes referenced the war on Gaza.

Students interviewed as part of this year’s investigation “generally described the classroom environment as open, nonjudgmental, comfortable, or relaxed,” according to the investigation’s findings. Students said they could “share different opinions or disagree without issue” and reported that neither their teacher nor classmates made “comments specifically targeting Jewish people, Israeli people, or Zionism.”

Notably, the investigation did not find that Do’s wearing a keffiyeh constituted discrimination. But the complainant has appealed that finding. The original complaint characterized a keffiyeh as “not only a political symbol, but one that promotes a political agenda of extremism,” and claimed the scarves are “widely used by leaders, members, and supporters of terrorist groups,” citing an “info sheet” from one pro-Israel advocacy group.

That’s the basic plot of what happened but worth reading for the rest of details. Zionists really enthusiastically using themselves as the sharp edge of the knife in the fight to defend white supremacy. Maybe they hope to endear themselves to the other whites having been abandoned by masses of even Americans.

Annabelle Loma has spoken with her husband only a few times since he attempted to jump overboard from the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln during his current deployment.Communication has been difficult to come by, and he is now on medical hold.

sailors described an incident in which watchstanders stopped a crew member from jumping overboard. Stripes reported that the crew was informed about the incident through a shipwide announcement.

Holding incommunicado from family and announcing crisis over the loud speaker to all friends and coworkers. Sounds like they really know how to handle thing. /s

a research fund named after Hunka, a CAD30,000 ($21,500) endowment established with a donation from his son to support research into the history of the Ukrainian Catholic Church

It would have been more fun to disperse it exclusively to people studying about their crimes, denouncing them etc.

with no known beneficiaries

So what does this mean? They took a bunch of money and didn’t spend it? Collect interest? I don’t understand what this even is.

Hunka’s family opposed the move, arguing that his Waffen-SS service had been disclosed when the donation was made and that the university knew of his wartime record when it accepted the money.

What does this mean? Is it true? What is the process of making an endowment? How deeply (if at all) do universities investigate the character or history of people who want to donate sums of money? Very few people have 20k to throw around who haven’t done some kind of dirt, so theyd seem to be disincentivised.

“Here is 20k on behalf of my dad, who was in the SS but in a good way. It was a long time ago. you can use this to research or do nothing with it.”?

Citing a former university official, the family also noted that nine other university endowments were associated with Galicia Division members and, to their knowledge, had not been terminated.

Has a tone that implies they feel especially persecuted. I would love to know more about the family’s conspiracy theory about why this is happening. Can some journalist or influencer please call these people up and ask them to tell their side of the story? I legit think they probably have stuff to share about the fascist movement in Canada. Obviously they are well connected, successful and influential. Granddaddy got his ass to be lauded in parliament after all. A complimentary and solicitous journalist who made a friendly and flattering approach could probably get someone to spill.

“Citing a former university official” is an enticing thread. Who is this person, were they contacted for comment? What’s their relationship with the family, did they help set this thing up? If its a former official they must know each other socially.

Have to add a bit more from the article. Wouldn’t want university of Alberta to gain any esteem from this.

The university argued that public reaction to Hunka’s Waffen-SS service meant continued association with his name could damage its reputation and public trust. The dispute went to court this spring.

In a ruling on Friday, Court of King’s Bench Justice Debra Yungwirth sided with the university, finding that the controversy had created sufficient reputational concerns to justify terminating the trust.

“The university did not terminate the Hunka Trust because it determined that Yaroslav was a war criminal or anti-Semitic,” she wrote. “The House of Commons incident, and the public response that followed, made it clear that maintaining the Hunka Trust was not in the university’s best interests.”

So basically the court does not contradict the family’s assertion that the university is happy to accept money from Nazis. In fact from the wording above it sounds like being a war criminal or anti-semite is a protected class in Alberta, and it would not have been acceptable to terminate on those grounds.

If you have a belief in the rule of law then it is logical to go according to the process regardless of ones personal opinion.

Perhaps they would like to see him vindicated. Or perhaps they hate him, wish suffering and dont care for legitimacy.
