Jose Maria Canlas Sison - New General Megathread for the 7th to 8th of February 2024 (hexbear.net)

Jose Maria Canlas Sison (born February 8, 1939), also known by his nickname Joma, was a Filipino writer and activist who founded the Communist Party of the Philippines and added elements of Maoism to its philosophy — which would be known as national democracy. He applied the theory of Marxism–Leninism-Maoism on Philippine...

jaeme,

You are not, I just checked the project’s repository hosted on GitHub, the author(s) definitely know what they’re doing and enjoy all the negative attention that the project attracts.

that it’s akin to firefox or another internet browser being able to access nsfw/illegal content

debatebro-l argument, Firefox is not advertising that it is able to provide you illegal content. You are absolutely right, this app should not have even made it past the approval stage and I’m disturbed that the IzzyOnDroid maintainers are so lax about this.

jaeme,

The Hexbear curtain is what makes the internet usable. Rumour is that federation is going to be reduced so hurray for that.

I also hate taking screenshots on Android, the default bindings are so clunky.

How do you even live in Israel without imploding due to cringe? Every part of this country is embarrassing.

jaeme,

Open Source (as a movement) is liberal cope. Richard Stallman was absolutely right when he wrote that Open Source would create ideological chuds like these. The worst thing is that these type of people invade Linux/hacker spaces and you’re stuck arguing with them about the merits of ChatGPT or Photoshop or whatever pointless techbro thing that’s on their mind. They’re also socially conservative and will go out of their way to make the space unsafe for everyone.

FOSS is revisionist. In my experience, trying to tie these two groups of thought was a horrible idea. Say one or the other and commit to it, and I hope you will choose free (libre) software instead of people who can’t imagine a world beyond GitHub Copilot.

Sorry for the rant, but it’s just infuriating sometimes and I can’t let it out normally because I’ll just be called a purist.

“We have investigated ourselves and we found no evidence of wrongdoing” - Israel in a month probably.

jaeme,

At least in the Bengali diaspora, success and working within the capitalist system is very much rewarded and respected. Bengali men in the West are raised to very much to take advantage of the system without questioning whether the system is fair in the first place.

My dad is a pretty insufferable lib. Much of that comes from wanting to assimilate into US culture. He watches CNN and has reactionary takes on most things.

Not being a successful middle/upper class professional with a marriage and family is looked down upon in a lot of Bengali immigant spaces. Being any sort of leftist or rocking the boat is looked down even further, god forbid if you’re neurodivergent.

In short, at least from where I was raised, there isn’t a drive to be “bengali” in a rebellious cultural sense but to take as much as you can from the dominant American culture. Of course, this backfires in a capitalist society where many second and third gen deshis lose their unique communal family culture. My dad still complains that his son (my brother) married a Black Christian woman from Trinidad instead of “within the race” or of course, a white woman.

I can’t confidently speak for how deshi women are raised though.

TL;DR the situation from this video would be reversed.

Edit: not to say that nationalism within deshi spaces does not exist, but the fact that it’s very entertwined with capitalism and class elevation rather than something like Black nationalism.

jaeme,

What would hexbear be without the posting capacity?

Steam Deck Users: What do like most about it?

If you own a Steam Deck (either OLED or LCD) or have used one in the past, what are your thoughts? Did you find it easy to use? What is your opinion on the “Desktop mode” with KDE? Do you think it helps or hurts Linux adoption? What are your opinions on Steam as a whole and Valve’s business practices beyond the technical...

Israeli company (Plarium Global Ltd.) which is a subsidiary of an Australian gambling firm (Aristocrat Leisure Limited).

It’s a turd sandwich. kitty-cri.

jaeme,

He broke into the company’s internal Slack messaging system to declare “if Rockstar does not contact me on Telegram within 24 hours I will start releasing the source code”.

Even if the source code was released it would only be for an alpha build + proprietary tooling makes it near impossible to reverse engineer and compile GTA6 from source. Still bold as fuck though.

Rockstar Games alone told the court that the hack cost it $5m to recover from plus thousands of hours of staff time.

We will accept the child company of a multi-billion dollar corporation at their word and not question it at all.

jaeme,

The decoy feature seems interesting, but it’s most likely just going to be security theater to anyone who gets their hands on your device (plus phones are so commonplace that an “Anom” phone will dry snitch on you). A proprietary chat app probably set off all the honeypot flags (Please just use XMPP, Jami, Signal or Matrix).

A good litmus test for privacy will always be the measure of Free software within the OS.

jaeme,

Ironically cyberpunk is itself emblematic of a gross capitalist system.

Punishing crunch development period, released in a broken state, only high end machines can play the game, for some reason it gets an anime adaptation, G@mers “forgive” the company.

All just to be a GTA clone with RPG mechanics.

jaeme,

Israel is in fact a diverse society

Yes the “Jewish state” is a diverse society. Where the the first class citizens are all “good jews” recognized by the state. Any lesser Jews or god forbid Arab peoples are second class citizens.

From an antifascist perspective this meme is absolutely unacceptable

Imagine being this fragile of a person. Log off now lmao.

jaeme,

Invincible season 2 in a nutshell lmao.

The original article for C++ I think. Linus Torvalds also has a lot to say about the C=C+1 programming language lol.

jaeme,
  1. “They need to learn our culture and politics. Leave your old culture back home.”
  2. “Take off your hijab, you live in a free country.”
  3. “(insert vague statement about how Islam hates queer ppl and women)”
  4. “I think immigration should be pulled back, we need to have better immigration security.”
  5. “Educational centers for Muslim refugees so that they can adapt to our country better.” (similar to 1)
jaeme,

Literally stop being paranoid and do it. Prosecuting individuals for reproducing copyrighted material is almost never enforced unless you’re directly angering the copyright holder.

“security” in /Linux distributions is using up-to-date software and having common sense OPSEC. I suggest you read up on the computer science of torrenting first and then pick your preferred libre bittorrent client with a VPN.

Sorry if I sound a bit standoffish but you have to rid yourself of the idea that there exists a “secure linux os.” The only increased security with libre software is your own knowledge and know how.

jaeme,

It allows integration with IMAP and SMTP and allows users to connect from TOR.

It might be useful if you use the airmail.cc domain name as a default email identity.
