We’ve never had real communism.
I don’t think human nature will allow for true communism at scale. Like all political organizations beyond a handful of people, corruption is de facto present and completely at odds with the theory.
People can swear up and down that it’s doable but I truly don’t think it could ever be by humans. We are too selfish.
I mean, the argument that communism is slavery to the state is a real and valid argument as of 2024.
It’s not like capitalism is any less a form of slavery, except instead of stealing from everybody to give to everybody it steals from everybody and gives it all to insurance companies and other businesses benefiting oligarchs. The whole system is slavery under another name, work for the luxury of having a place to sleep at night so that your owner can live a comfortable life. Slavery to many masters who use your body for their gains.
There’s not going to be a system that you’re not a slave to though, unless we somehow find a way to trivially convert matter to energy and vice versa and build a utopia where machines do everything for us… and we all share the rewards. All hail science fiction communism? (and keep in mind science fiction keeps becoming reality! Just don’t hold your breath for this in our lifetimes.)
It signifies that chinese made games about chinese/buddhist mythology will be incredibly popular in China.
People go nuts for soulsclones regardless but given that this is probably the very first chinese mythology soulslike with professional production values no one should be at all surprised that it sells in China and abroad. Also the fact that it’s cheaper than china than any other region on earth is certainly a factor in it’s sales.
As of right now, of it’s overall 354,187 steam reviews, only 14,757 are in english.
Keep in mind that the US and Western Europe combined have about a third of China’s population.
Sounds like e911 or pots lines.
Does the hardware being all so arranged as it is in this manner to create a supercomputer make any difference to that evaluation?
The storage drives for all of this have been stripped. You can’t just run commands on the hardware… you have to figure out how to cluster things with software, buy drives for it all, have it all installed in a datacenter somewhere which is going to cost way more than the purchase price.
The labor costs for the technical people required to do this are way more than half a million a year.
The piecemeal nature of selling thousands of parts means the wages for a group necessary to coordinate it all would probably make the whole thing not feasible.
Ebay prices are higher than market prices imo. 15% ebay cut + 3% paypal fees + sales tax + shipping is brutal.
I don’t know why anyone would buy this. Maybe it’s one of those precious metal reclamation groups.
Generally hardware that old is cheaper to replace with newer more efficient hardware than to even consider running due to electricity costs.
Mozilla isn’t google. They took it back and encouraged the guy to reach out in the future if any issues arise.
BFD, it’s not like they banned his account, just one gimped extension that doesn’t do the whole ad blocking experience and even then only because he didn’t do anything to try and reverse it. Then after it’s restored he throws his tantrum and removes it.
With all the extensions out there false positive detections of malicious apps are going to happen. Nobody has unlimited resources to hire boatloads of devs to review every single line of code of every extension for every update done. That’s an insane expectation.
