It should be liberalism and fascism. There is no such thing as a capitalism when it comes to ideology. If you are for capitalism you are a liberal, not a “capitalist”. Also fascism isn’t a different mode of production distinct from capitalism, it’s just liberalism going mask off in a crisis. So it doesn’t make sense even in that way. I know Americans will disagree and hate me for this but that’s just how it is.

Absolutely not a surprise. Seeing how obsessive the brittish good-old-boys have been about Russia. Why not bribe, blackmail, harass, censor and maybe even kill for a good cause, or that’s how they see it.

There is no significant ammo production. There are no significant national stockpiles anymore. They all were fed to Ukraine before and during the 2023 ‘counter-offensive’ that flopped horribly and those stockpiles never recovered because all the new production was almost exclusively sent to keep Ukraine afloat after that. Should Europe just disarm itself completely just so that Ukraine won’t even win, but just that it won’t collapse totally this year?

Looking at the Syrian situation right now, I’m just spitting on the faces of people who equate Assad with Hitler.

Russia isn’t willing to let Ukraine stabilize the fronts after Kursk and mobilize more people so they can go on the offensive later.

Those that thought they would agree to this can get in line and look surprised.

This leak is really scetchy, tbh. If it’s real then it’s probably happening because of the HarmonyOS NEXT that came out late last year. With that they basically dropped the previously used custom android/linux kernel for their own totally own proprietary HarmonyOS kernel. However with that they also lost support for android and linux code sideloading in the process and replaced it with some linux translation layer.

I always thought that HarmonyOS was meant to be more of a Android replacement that also had it’s place in stuff like TVs, cars, IoT and smart devices, but they still tried PCs with it, but it was more like chromebook-like toy computer for web browsing and text editing than a full pc. It seemed like a competent product android and android smart device replacement, but I never saw it as a serious competitor for Windows, MacOS or Linux desktop. If them plan is just be self sufficient and ditch US code, then you can do more in the linux ecosystem and get more app support right out of the gate and not have to ask everybody to rewrite their code for your custom OS. With linux-laptops they will have global markets for their computers, when as Harmony OS and it’s still are best in China’s own ‘software lagoon’ where third parties care more about developing for Huawei app store.

Russia has no say on NATO membership they can grind their teeth and whine like a baby as much as they want.

No, if Kiev or the EU leaders insists on Ukraine getting into Nato, then Russia will just keep the war going and end Ukraine as a state if they have to. They of course don’t want that burden, but they are very ready and capable of doing that. That is their veto regarding Ukrainian nato membership.

It’s even easier now that US is pulling out. Why would the Russians ever give concessions like that to Ukraine now? Is EU going to sanction Russia even more? Give Ukraine more of the ever more anemic amounts of weapons?

Plus every European country knows that taking Ukraine into Nato while the war is going on is like vote if they want to escalate this thing over Ukraine into a hot war against Russia that will go nuclear. Ukrainians themselves of course want that outcome. For them it would be just more bodies dying with them and for them, since they can’t seem to accept anything else than their vision on total victory. These Zelensky’s idiotic words just confirm that even more. That is also why unless a miracle happens and despite the talk form Ukraine and EU leaders Ukraine is never getting into Nato. That’s just a fact. Ukraine lost, get over it. Than fuck “the orange man” and his team has some sense in this regard.

Nato membership for Ukraine is a no go for Russia, whose approval is actually needed to end the war. Also neither the US or most of European countries keen on having Ukraine in EU, especially when the war is still going on. Zelensky is just fucking with everybody here and insulting everybody’s intelligence. He is not ready to step down, he is holding on for his dear life.

Marx and Engels where both reviled by the mainstream liberals during their own time. Only in the late 20th century was Marx made like this kind demsoc grandpa that only stood for co-ops and liberal values who would have hated Lenin and Stalin “who obviously misunderstood him and Engels”. It’s also partly because of things like the new left and frankfurt school, Marx has his name slapped into everything from animal rights to art critique and other things that have nothing to do with class struggle and that has taken the edge off in the eyes of the liberals.

It’s however absolutely right that all the bad communists, the vile dictators and authoritarians are those who stood up to the west and capitalism, fought the porkies, won, didn’t get couped afterward and actually built something resembling real socialism. People like Lenin and Stalin are hated precisely because they succeeded and didn’t get crushed by the forces of reaction.There is also the radlib phenomena where they are allergic to any contradiction in real living world. The further a revolution goes the more contradictions and problems there are to work through. So you can really be pure and represent “real socialism” if you never really tried or got a chance to put anything into practice or died a martyr at the early stages with untested ideas. If you succeed and have to test and develop stuff, fight and compromise you become a dirty creature of “not real socialism”.

I haven’t been on NVIDIA for a while so i couldn’t tell for sure. I know that nvidia raytracing works on linux, but I’m not sure how it goes with the open drivers. If the noveau performance and stability is still somewhat lacking in general, then if both open drivers and raytracing are important to you then AMD is still the better bet.

Do you play a lot of games with ray tracing, or do you care about that stuff? If you don’t then AMD, it’s better bang for the buck for rasterization and works better on Linux.
