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.

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! 1 day 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 1 week 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

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.

Decentralized matrix has not the quality level for production. The only matrix user that has no issue have their account on all of their contacts on matrix.org. So, use it as a centralize app.

I thought their where still hosting US one, but it seems that they ended it in 1984 : en.wikipedia.org/…/Canada_and_weapons_of_mass_des…
- Comment on Which timezone would win in a conflict? 5 weeks ago:
I think it’s depend of which kind of war. If it’s obvious for everyone that “they is no way we can agree” from the beginning, so it’s a nuclear preemptive strike from the first timezone aware of the rules. So Europe, China, India and Pakistan are close competitors. US have and Canada shall destroy itself, their nuclear capacities are spread across several “timezone interests”. Funny enough, what may make the difference between Europe, China, India and Pakistan may be the hour when the situation declare itself. If the ruling class is asleep, officer may need to wait to wake them up, as it was during the 1983 false nuclear alarm
If it’s not obvious that their is no way to make agreement, we may see an escalation of conflict, starting with soft and hard power. This scenario may be very close of the current relationships, and the winner may be the main imperialists power : Europe or the US In this scenario, it seems obvious that the US adopt one timezone, and make it adopt for every countries in the North and South America. It’s next move would be to sabotage other negotiations. I didn’t exclude Europe from the competitions, because the neo-colonial relationships may help the expand their timezone in their former colonies. What may make the differences is the attitude of UK and Russa. Depending if they adopt the European timezone or not.
I don’t think the number of people involve in one timezone make a change; this is short term scenarios, and economic and diplomatic power seems unrelated with the population size

- Comment on do you think freewill truly exists? 5 months ago:
No I think not. But the feeling of freewill do exist and seems universal. So if we have a fact based approach, it does not change much. I think there it a lot of proof that freewill is at least very weak compare to social determinism.
