I'm confused about what this saying, is it about warcrime waifus but with Soviet aesthetics, or are they saying Windows and computers in general wouldn't have changed to be so bloated and anti-user, or...?

I would have liked to have known what having active Soviets in the 1995-2015 era of early internet social media and forums would have been like. I feel like we're suppose to be getting that experience from China soon, but hasn't really manifested yet.

Most people know about the Eternal September, basically when AOL flooded the internet with so many new users the old members were pissed off about it. You could say the 2010+ era of Android and iPhone was another Eternal September. The presence of most average americans on the internet is the key that made most exploitative practices viable from IRL to follow them into the internet. A lot of us recognize the enshitification of the recent internet.

I'm looking forward to when China and/or 3rd world give us a 3rd Eternal September. Interesting to see the United States make their own Great Firewall (starting with tiktok?) and finding new ways to suppress poorpinions (e.g. Twitter Blue). I wonder if the US will succeed in preventing the 3rd Eternal September? It's great to see that US-style free speech and US-style Democracy was all a farce. So much uncertainty for the next decade.

It doesn't matter anyways, because the trusted brand with good reviews uses cheaper materials like everyone else.

Seems kind of useless, unless you can restore older versions of apps (e.g. dev sells out or goes rogue).

Honestly, there aren't many good ML podcasts, I feel, or even leftist ones...

what criteria do you use to define "good"?

To oversimplify, the US virtue signals as democracy, which muddies the term when you try to map the details and rhetoric and the theory and what the US actually does (at home and abroad) together. Socialism is about expanding democracy to the workplace and the economy. The US is about democracy for the rich.

what is really so hard about a "we fucked up, we're going to pretend to do a better job" speech and just letting it go?

how much harder than any random car could a tank be to drive around a flat field when you're surrounded and supported by dedicated tank crews? It's got to be one of the lowest energy, lowest stakes conspiracy theories. Might as well claim a photo shoot of him eating a hot dog was faked too.

yeonmi-park what's not pictured is earlier North Korean tank manufacturer 보잉 (/bɔɪŋ/) had an incident with a side door popping off during a witch hunt. The entire driving crew and the maintenance crew were executed and their families have been forced to work in the salt mines.
