  • What was your first operating system or Linux Distribution?

    Jump

  • Mac OS 7. By the mid-2000s, I adopted Arch Linux after looking into some other Linux distributions.

  • Are you a 'tankie'

    Jump

  • YES

    If wanting to receive basic human rights (food, housing, etc.), attend education without being discriminated against for my income and mental condition, control my workplace, earn the full value of my wages, have a government actually controlled by the people, all while being politically educated in past socialist movements and their theory to achieve all these things, then I'm sure as hell am a tankie, and I don't care what online liberals say.

    Stalin rules, by the way. ✊

  • What is/was your distrohopping journey?

    Jump

  • macOS, then Linux Mint, then Arch Linux, then EndeavourOS, then Artix Linux, and now Parabola GNU/Linux-libre.

  • What is the most unhinged conspiracy theory?

    Jump

  • Stalin single-handedly starved 8 million+ Ukrainians, Russians, and Kazakhs in the 1930s to stop some nationalists.

  • They are evil, but that doesn't come out of nowhere. It comes from needing to violently enforce the demands of an oppressive, exploitive system.

  • American legal parlance is a nothingburger, not its actual real-world effects. This ruling has considerable effects in the states it's relevant in.

  • In certain cases with certain issues. Keep in mind that your link also contains a long list of "obsolete and vintage" products which they refuse to fully repair if at all.

  • In the show "3 Body Problem" (I haven't read the book) the statement was made 'our civilization is no longer capable of solving its own problems'. Would you agree?

    Jump

  • Capitalist realism. Human society has always been able to solve its problems. The issue is capitalism — our current society — can't solve the problems it created like massive wars, hunger, regular economic crisis, and global warming.

    Capitalism hasn't existed forever, and it won't exist in the future. Our civilization will solve the problem of capitalism by seeing to its abolition.

    Jump

  • Making repairs cost so much that it's less costly to buy the latest product and throw out the old one is a part of planned obsolescence.

    Jump

  • A new logic board costs as much as a new computer. Hard drives are impossible to replace, RAM upgrades are hard, and even opening a Mac or iPhone voids your warranty. Not to mention all their nonsense with macOS upgrade requirements, batteries, and so on.

  • Thanks for asking that.

    We're mostly made up of communists and you'll see that viewpoint in our articles, but we're aiming to be multi-tendency and allow other socialists to join and edit so long as they present well-sourced information. We are different from ProleWiki in many ways, one of which includes our focus on providing original leftist discourse.

    We are similar to ProleWiki in that we're both trying to spread revolutionary theory in an easy-to-understand way, it's more that we fill different roles.
