Yep. I’m sure we’ve all learned a lot since then.

We know that socialism has in the past made the same trade-off between the environment the economic growth. That the environmental damage wasn’t even worse might have more to do with how bad they were at growing their economy than anything else. I don’t know, I wasn’t there.

It’s going to take more than eating the rich. Workers will need to be continually on their guard against the centralization of power and the emergence of a disconnected elite that happened every other time socialism was tried (and every time capitalism was tried, to be fair).

Take it easy. artyom might just be mistaken you don’t need to turn it into a class war.

Yes.

I was referring to the past. Chernobyl, Baku, Aral Sea, Norilsk, Liaoning, etc all of which were very messy places while being run in a command economy.

How many tankies on Lemmy have ever owned and worn a hammer and sickle tshirt??! In public, multiple times?! Not many, if any!

IRL I’m closer to a real communist than they will ever be, lol

In Vietnam they sell red T-shirts with the hammer and sickle on them, in shops for tourists. Just like that one. They’re everywhere although no one ever wears them, they’re just for souvenirs.

Here is me wearing mine, chilling in a hammock in Laos

The colour reproduction isn’t great, digital cameras were bad back then. It was a nice deep red.

It’s a compelling argument but I’d find it even more compelling if historical countries like USSR and China where the working class “won” had better environmental records than they do.

Very interesting, thank you

Thank you!

lolsob

Oh yes, re: ephemeral - the retention policy for a community has to be set by an instance admin so wherever you have your rss communities will involve getting an admin to set that for you, once you’ve created them all.

Yes the latest release of PieFed includes this functionality.

https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta@piefed.social/p/2285233/piefed-v1-7-11-is-released-finding-and-adding-people-to-follow-posts-from-rss-feeds-and

For example, !aljazeera_rss@crust.piefed.social

It is off by default (most instances will not want to be a source of so many bot posts) but if you make an account on crust.piefed.social you can make some communities and add feeds into those communities. BTW right after you add the feeds the community will be empty - only new RSS content from that point on will be added as posts.

You could check with the piefed.zip admins to see if they plan to turn this on or not.

I’m still working out the kinks - !bbc_rss@crust.piefed.social doesn’t work yet for some reason. Hopefully will be fixed this weekend.

I believe it is working but will switch myself to manual approving to see for sure.

The next billion dollar company will be a wrapper around Claude that strips out the em dashes.

I got an email from a client last week asking me to install an AI-generated list of containers onto a server. The key container, the database at the center of the whole system, has commits from Claude in it’s git repository. Great start guys.

They outsouced the software architect job to a chatbot and then had a veteran of the industry who has been around since the internet equivalent of the big bang install a handful of docker containers. Reverse centaur to the max.

It’s going to hurt in 12 months time if they realise the reason why everything sucks is because they built on sand. But they probably won’t even realise why the project failed because their chatbot won’t be able to tell them why.

Bold of you to put one of those next to the place where you do the dirty. Even with the OS wiped, lol

It’s fine until your instance gets dragged into a defederation you never intended to and a months-long blood feud begins.

Other than that, pretty clever if I do say so myself.

Ok, 6 minutes. But it’s 5 if you skip the bit where I say hello and get to the main content.

In this case knowing he looks exactly like how you’d expect seems relevant.

I did not, it seemed complicated and rabbit-hole-y.

In the end I just added an Anubis-like feature into PieFed. It works great.
