Assassinations usually make things worse. Just look at what happened to the string of coups in South Vietnam during the Vietnam war.

Or, can you think of a time when assassination actually did improve matters?

You don’t understand how leadership works, do you?

Look, I’ll talk with you, but not if this is how you treat me.

Can you give an example of a time when assassination produced a better successor?

As if it matters what Trump of all people says.

How do you know the fascists won’t just rally behind somebody else like Trump, but younger and more competent?

Bravo, blazera. It’s always nice to see some concern for the truth on the internet. I mean this very unsarcastically.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen somebody publicly changing their mind on the internet until I came here. Perhaps there is something special about lemmy.

The internet needs more of this. Maybe lemmy can amplify public mind changings like this somehow…

Yep. I read a quotation from this show elsewhere. I thought it couldn’t be right, so I found the show and listened, looking for perhaps some missing context that might soften the quotation a little. No. Just no. No amount of context can ameliorate the terribleness of Lindsey Graham.

Nintendo makes it as hard as possible to use their computers generically.

Nintendo fanboys: “Thankyou, sir, may I have another?”

You only saw the tabs open on this workspace.

But yeah I don’t have hundreds of tabs open. It is incompatible with my workflow. Only the “tabs” directly relevant to whatever is currently happening in the current workspace are kept open.

A link either gets read or it doesn’t. If I don’t have time to read a link somebody sends me personally, I just tell them that. I don’t string anybody along about a link I know I will never read. I can’t allow for any link backlog. That leads to . . . dark places.

Also, I don’t really use bookmarks either. When I disable search suggestions and use firefox suggest, it leave more space for history. It works so well I don’t really need to bookmark anything. Frequently opened sites make their way to the top on their own.

Is this something you care about? If so, why?

It did last time I tried compiling AOSP. At least on the default settings. After I told the build system not to try building in parallel, I got that number down to 8 gigs. Still way too high. There’s no way anybody could develop AOSP on a phone.

Those quote marks around the ‘wins’ are just great.

The same applies to Android OS development. All of it. Android requires a very powerful 1000 USD desktop or laptop computer with 20 gigs of ram and 200 gigs of SSD hard drive space just to compile. This is unacceptable.

Meanwhile, mainline phone linux, like dreemurrs archlinux or postmarketos, can be developed using the same phone it runs on!!! All you need is a 20 USD bluetooth keyboard. It is fully awesome. Imagine a world where anybody with just a smartphone and a bluetooth keyboard could be an OS developer!

You are describing what should be done with a powerful economy. Not how to create a powerful economy. Abolishing the stock market will not encourage wealth distribution. It will make the economy weaker, and could easily make wealth concentration worse.

The right move is to reform the stock market, imposing rules on company ownership. That’s why I brought up Germany. All companies in Germany above a certain size must be 40% owned by their employees.

What do you mean by “improve the economy”?

“Stupid” is a characteristic of stupid people. Do you disagree with its usage as well?

You’re saying it usually does not function properly as a means of buying and selling control over companies? Because Musk bought his first big piece of Twitter on the stock market. That’s an example of the stock market working as intended. I would argue that this is how the stock market usually works. This is not gambling. This is the purchase of a tangible asset.

It then goes on to say

Noun

пидора́с • (pidorás) m anim (genitive пидора́са, nominative plural пидора́сы, genitive plural пидора́сов)

1. (vulgar, offensive) fag, faggot (homosexual)
2. (vulgar) asshole (mean or rude person)

Well, I brought up GameStop because it’s an example of the stock market not working as intended. I’m saying the stock market usually works as intended. And it is intended as a means of buying and selling companies, their assets, liabilities, and crucially, their employees.
