- Comment on Best gas masks 4 days ago:
Always bring water. When tear gaz appears, stop breathing, wet a a piece of cloth and start to breath slowly through it. Even when you are use to it, it’s important to don’t take deep breath.
The advantage over a full mask is that you may not annoy by cops in case of frisking.
You may use waterpool glasses too if you follow the previous instruction
Good luck, and fuck the police

In a lot of countries, you could legally share copyrighted content to your “private and relative” circle. So it’s not actually illegal. Your theory seems correct, even if we do have ftp-siblings too

- Comment on The most durable tech is boring, old, and everywhere 5 weeks ago:
You point is right, but the example is not correct. All languages such as C/C++ are reliable, and way more efficient with ressources. The environment to make simple software such as we browser or text editor are incredibly big. Firefox on a random front page took 300M ram. Same web browser and text editors used to run on 64Mb ram. Same need, a lot more efficiency
However, in tech we are used to be blind to the work needed to carry one one technology. Banks have dedicated firms to keep COBOL running and update it with everything that was missing back in time. Techbros make shit, true. But there is no magical technologies, only workers

- Comment on Total War: Warhammer 40k 1 month ago:
I fill like the line of sight think in warhammer total war was more link with maps than engine. It was less an issue in Empire, Napoleon or Fall of the Samurai. Since, they added “smog”, and the need to not flat terrain … and the dumbziness of direct hit unit. With modern building, it should not be an issue.
I do relate on the tempo; I couldn’t imagine how to deal with thousands SM engaging at the same time. I’d rather smallest and intense fight (like in DoW II or World in Conflict), or a way to program actions and reactions of units. I do not see how it would be feasible with the mechanics they made.
However, their making for Three Kingdoms were brilliant, so maybe …

Napoleon Total War and Fall of the Samurai was great. But yes, a lot of innovation has to be done

I know; Java was a big optimization issue in Minecraft back in the days. I was thinking about the addition of javascript in AAA game engine (I.E for menu) or for phone game
- Comment on Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists 2 months ago:
No, I was referencing to Javascript or game release too soon that turn computers into toasters. Last I played was RVchere yet; less polygons than Half Life Source, constantly crash because we got not enough ressources.
- Comment on Stop stressing my GPU and start hiring artists 2 months ago:
GPU consumption is more reliable to know how old a game is than its graphics.
When Minecraft was released, I thought it was an accident. That no other game could be popular and run with with an inappropriate language such as Java.
I was so wrong.
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 2 months ago:
That’s ironic, because enforcing your moral code on others was what allow slave trades.
But I will conform to you point of view for the sake of argument. Let say the problem of slave trade is “that’s unethical” If giving “more comfortable working conditions for slave traders” would abolish slave trades, that would unethical to not giving their more comfortable conditions
- Comment on Bank Workers, Rejoice! 2 months ago:
No, it’s mean that the issue is not the workers, but the bankS. Or to be be even more concrete : the system that produce institutions with the function of bank. Opposing to those workers would not make a change; maybe you could make them fired, and others could take the place, but our choice wouldn’t make much difference compare to those of the employers in the bank industries. We could argue that opposing to one bank is the same; at most it could bankrupt (ironically), but other bank would take they function.
That why this is the whole industry we shall oppose to, to against one bank, but against all of then. This is why people in revolutionary union organize by industry, and not by firm or professions. Helping workers in the bank industries getting less hour/day, less harassement and better stability would make the situation where they could diminish or abolish the predation of their employers against others (that are not only customers). We couldn’t expect solidarity from people we are not solidaire to.
This is not about right or wrong, this is about effectiveness.

- Comment on The Authoritarian Stack 2 months ago:
yep, there is a blind spot around imperialism; the European bourgeoisie come to the US to learn what the business ant the politic shall be made and come back with the US point of view. For example in France, the spokeswoman of the Parti Socialist (one of the main party) is working for Palantir.
This is not an exception, every administration run windows for millions each years, even if their is a dedicated administration to go to open source
- Comment on Join Tech Workers Coalition and help unionize tech workers - Onboarding Call Oct 29 2 months ago:
This is not the same to have a FOSS platform for gaming or for international unionism. There are literately unions in arms and union organizers getting murdered by US employers around the world. Asking to organize on a GAFAM platform is not acceptable.
I’m glad that there is finally some interests in international unionism. I support your work here, even if I’m frustrated that I couldn’t join in.
