Apple products are generally the worst way to attempt to do anything with a computer. Drop the idea.

Meanwhile dbzer0 is still federated to Hexbear, despite having a strict “no tankie” policy.

Marxist-Leninists aren’t communists. They’re Stalinists. Authoritarians.

They’re using “fascist” when they mean “authoritarian” or “totalitarian”.

In all fairness, there’s very little difference. Communism isn’t supposed to be authoritarian, but paint enough murals of someone and see what that does to their ego.

Stalin wasn’t a communist. He had the Bolsheviks assassinated. He was an imperialist.

Replying to everyone’s comments, comment history stalking, being a tankie, bro, literally go touch grass.

Tankies literally are history revisionists. There is no justification for the Cultural Revolution or Stalinism, even in the face of Western hegemony.

I’m sure you’re above board. It’s literally the definition of Tankie.

A Marxist is the only thing that can defeat a Tankie.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia spent good money to never have an Arab Spring again.

Destroying the brand and ruining twitter was always the goal. There’s a good reason why Saudi Arabia fronted half of the bill…

google is broken anyway after 2 decades of people fucking with the algo by offering SEO services. The search results are basically random now unless you really focus your search term.

There’s the old “more people were in poverty before capitalism” argument.

Did capitalism bring people out of poverty? Or did access to education, healthcare, social safety nets, and proper food bring people out of poverty? Where I live, capitalism is what’s driving people into tent cities.

How does one person controlling the capital in an area, help other people if they’re gatekeeping the economic prosperity from by forcing them to perform labour, at a disproportionately low rate of recompense, to help them (the capital owner) increase their net worth? Don’t even say trickle down economics or I’ll deck you.

WE SIDELOAD HERE.

Okay, sure, but we’re talking about inches. 8x8 isn’t a large footprint. Don’t be obtuse. Also 4x4 is 1/4 the footprint of 8x8.

They’re not a lot bigger than a NUC. My HP mini PC’s footprint is like 8"x8"

I mean, they’re the OEM, they could easily have lowered their own prices. It’s not like they were taking a loss on each unit.

Pretending like capitalism is this new concept that needs to be fully explored and debated before we understand that it’s bad is a pretty bad faith framing of the issue. Infinite economic growth is literally impossible because Earth has finite resources and there is a finite number of humans. There is no necessity or imperative behind infinite economic growth other than to make the ruling class richer at everyone else’s expense.

Relatively cheap? Huh? At $500-$1000 they were exactly the opposite of a relatively cheap desktop machine.

Lenovo or HP mini PC would be a much better bang for your buck.
