Poor Russians get the front lines, rich Russians get a new vacation home… why did they get rid of the Tzar again?

Biden 2024 - wear an union around your belt

Here’s a careful reminder that “public domain” is not a worldwide thing ^^; in fact, very few countries have a public domain.

In some cases, if you try to publish something as “public domain” from a certain country, it is invalid - because their judiciary does not define public domain as anything.

It maybe considered public domain, until you die and someone wants that copyright, in which case the family takes precedent over the estate - full stop.

There’s a difference between countries that have common law (US and UK) and those that have civil law (the Nordics), so yeah.

But CC is valid license pretty much everywhere, with a few exceptions.

Primeagen?

When it comes to creative work, Creative Commons is the way to go. I know a guy who exclusively releases music under the Creative Commons license.

Here’s a “Chooser” wizard, that asks you some questions and then suggests a suitable CC license for you.

I’m wondering how much of that is just due to misinformation. You have to account for the widespread Zionist influence campaign that’s been going on for decades and that has cost millions.

From Zionists traveling abroad, to Zionists flying people in. A family member got flown in some years ago and ever since they’ve been a propaganda machine in them selves.

It doesn’t matter how many times I tell them that their talking points are factually wrong and framed in a manipulative way, because they themselves don’t understand it.

Brainwashing, when done right, sets it claws into the human brain something fierce. This is more apparent in some countries than others.

It’s funny how people weigh workplaces and companies that suck balls because the money is good… but also understandable that they go somewhere else when they can get a good pay and a workplace that doesn’t suck balls.

And then there’s the burning of the recruitment offices… no, wait, that was average Russians lol

Also, the ridiculous notion that they shouldn’t when they are obviously need to push Russians back into their own country and keep the line there.

US congressmen and the executive office should have nothing to do with military operations and decisions what so ever, because they are a bunch of slack jawed yokels.

Shout outs to the Iraq war. Gotta be one of my favourite useless power vacuums for petro companies.

The intrinsic arc of utter corruption culminates in economic turmoil and ultimately the art of scapegoating. As the English politician realises that all the foreign labourers have been chased off and that they can’t just prop the economy up on ill gotten gains from foreign lands, that they must ultimately direct the ire of the masses inward.

Are you per chance a secret Chinese spy? Who knows?! Perhaps you are one, especially if you’re a member of the opposition party! Seen any red flags lately, hmmmmmm?!? Perhaps you like to dabble in electronics, like a little bit of maths, do we??? Even in our own party??? Moderate?!? You mean… possible collaborator…

McCarthy should be proud. The world was changed forever, and even though it makes no sense, most likely it’s the socialists, libertarians and anarchists who will be blamed, along with black and brown people, the gypsy, the jew, muslims, hindus and even possibly christians, whoever fits the bill, as hungry and angry masses are directed towards a new common enemy.

It’s the release valve of the leading class, the dog the elites can blame for hot air, it’s the scapegoat.

TL;Dr licensed firmware is garbo - open firmware ftw

This - is what we need.

The only ones who can really push the envelope on getting RISC-V into the hands of consumer, and indeed up to an IPC comparable to ARM, are companies like Deep Computing and Si-Five.

The biggest problem in the computing world, bar none, are not the predatory companies, vendor lockins, or proprietary operating systems, it’s always been licensing. This is why BSD existed in the first place, because a $1000 a month per seat to copy a file without pulling and pushing bits around is a bit too much, even if it was the 70s.

Similarly, in a time of green washing, eWaste and even planned obsolescence, one of the things that help to underpin all of these afformentioned evils is secret sauce firmware.

No matter what you say, if you don’t have access to the source code for firmware and bootloaders, you’ve got a lifetime set by the vendor based on how long they can actually support the hardware - because employees cost money. You can’t realistically expect a company to support something they’re not making money on anymore, and they’d most likely just want to sell you new hardware.

This is where RISC-V comes in swinging. I’m not saying that all RISC-V hardware will come with open firmware, but the ball is rolling and with it we can finally bridge the gap spanned by tech companies, where the average Jane or Joe can in effect easily modify their firmware code, albeit through security principles of course.

Unlike Open Source, Open Firmware is a bit trickier. Decades of industrial precedent, and indeed vendor lockins the OEM’s are beholden to, like proprietary BIOS, makes it that much harder to establish - especially when designing an entire ISA and getting it to prefab is a Lord of the Rings length journey. There is no griffin shortcut.

No doubt I’ll have naysayers. Just mentioning open firmware in the average matrix chat riles the gallery, as is the style, but even the likes of NVIDIA are opening up their code (thanks, AI) to the point where NVK is not that far from stable, untainting your kernel. Yay.

Everybody ♥️ open source, don’t they? But how about giving some love to Open Firmware? In the FUTURE 🐙 we’ll hopefully have vendors and foreign interests shoved tf out of our hardware, and good riddance, because they shouldn’t be in control of it in the first place.

I await your ire.

And shout outs to the libreboot maintainer. What in the ever loving Carmack is FSF up to? Libre ain’t a brand, it’s a philosophy.

Wtf even is that boat… look at it… it’s like someone in post-apocalyptia managed to get an abandoned ship up and running.

Fucking Lemmy…

Don’t worry, I’ll fix. Re-read the edit.

Yes, yes. They’re all Nazis, and Putin will unnazi Ukraine, right? Because there is no ethno nationalism in Russia, whatsoever. But also, in Europe in general. So I guess Putin should invade and liberate the rest of Europe as well, right? He’s going to unnazi the world, correct?

Edit: /s for some of you. It should be blatantly obvious, at least it is to me, but maybe it’s just because I’m proficient in the language… somewhat. Anyhu, have a nice day, I hope Putin dies in his sleep tonight, byyyyeeee…

Edit 2: Or, isn’t it ironic? Don’t you think?

Pro imperialist news… pro Russia imperialism. Probably pro Chinese belt & road “central kingdom” imperialism also.

I wanna ask the author if boot tastes nice.

Show of force, or dog and pony show?

Really, can’t it be both?

Reach out to the young. Participate and volunteer in youth organisations to help teach them a little bit about society, history and politics at large - and take the academic, pedagogic route goddamn it. Be the wise man, or wise woman, or wise trans, or wise doggy…

“Oh wise one, what is your wisdom?”

Not me though. I’m far to gone to do any of that. I’d probably radicalise them in a different direction, unintentionally.

“Yeah, they’re libertarian comminists now for some reason - I dunno wtf I did”

Oracle is horrible and deserves to lose Java.

No no no no. See, the anti-immigration industry works within new public management, meaning those contracts are already sold to our friends… I mean given to the lowest bidder., whithin the standards we decided upon of course - which are very high, expensive standards. All of this chalks up to consultancy fees, renting fees, transaction fees, headlight fluid fees, and of course marketing. I mean think of those poor people in the marketing department, how much cocaine- I mean problems they have to deal with.

Surely you understand, that letting local enforcement and courts deal with the matter prevents us from actively exploiting- I mean processing immigration. We also have lots of help from various farmers around the country, who’ve had immigrants working on a bimonthly pay. Good that we caught that the second month in. But since there is no contract or paperwork, guess the immigrants just took up residence on that farm. For shame.

I’ll tell you what, if we build roads to the farms and some other roads back to the borders, we’d make an effective process out of it. Whoop whoop! Free labour! WHY DOESNT ANYONE WANT TO WORK ANYMORE?!?!?

Damned avocado toast… why, if it weren’t for all these hard working immigrants…

This seems so astroturfed. The news website, the “Institute for global affairs”. It’s like AI spat it out… because of course it is. The article is leading, and the supposed report is just a wall of text with a lot of supposition and no sourcing what so ever. Oh sure, there are references, that lead to more gobbledygook.

Is it time to vet news platform? I know that sounds incredibly dangerous, what with the fifth estate and all, but I think federated platforms should probably whitelist some of its news sourcings, because this is getting ridiculous.

Am I wrong here?

Let it be the first of many.
