- Comment on YSK that americans can now deduce private jet expenses from their taxes 2 days ago:
The PC-12 is a turboprop, not a jet, though.
It’s a leech hauler alright, but not a jet.
- Comment on Walker S1 humanoid robot starts factory work at BYD 6 days ago:
I guess the idea is that humanoid robots ideally require no adjustment to the factory, they can just use the tools made for human workers.

I’m feeling we’ll end up going over it whether we row or not.

When the USSR came to Hungary, they literally exhausted the syphilis medicine supply of the country for two years with the amount of rape, and the country has had collective PTSD from it for generations.
I’m sure others can bring up other countries, I’m more familiar and am more in touch with the culture of specifically Hungary. It is widely researched and not debated actually that it was so bad, suicides and misogyny spiked in the aftermath, as the people who couldn’t defend their loved ones from often repeated often gang rape either committed suicide, or just internalised that “rape is not so bad” to cope.
600 thousand people were also kidnapped (from a country of less than 10 million) and forced into labour camps for decades, with a third never coming home. This also specifically targeted the local German-Hungarian population (which had nothing to do with Germany, it was a diaspora dating back long into medieval times), so it can also qualify as genocide.
There were also examples of brutal torture, keeping people in cells small enough they couldn’t even sit down, and so on. Had nothing to do with communism, some of the direst things were actually done against communists who wanted to be free from Soviet occupation. It was pure Russian imperialism.
And truth be told, we got off easy compared to some other countries.
And finally, colonialism being “western” in an inherently racist way to view the world. East Asian empires also had colonies, so did most empires around the world.

Doesn’t the 737 have toe brakes?

I mean in the current dictatorships, where it’s a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie by Marxist terms, it is usually one dictator and the setup is fairly hierarchical.
Why is it called a dictatorship then?
- Comment on Hrmmmmm 2 weeks ago:
without ever having colonies or engaging in imperialism
That’s only because the USSR lobbied hard in the UN so that colonialism is defined as having overseas colonies. The “near abroad” is/was a colonial empire.
The USSR was definitely imperialistic, see Hungary 1956, where it crushed a revolution which was not against communism, the revolutionaries were in fact communists, they just wanted to be free of Soviet occupation.
Not debating the accomplishments of the USSR though, it was definitely and improvement on the Russian Empire.

Well, in the USSR it was Ukrainians. Every authoritarian system find its outgroups.

Great for UTIs, or getting rid of them?
I mean I wouldn’t be surprised if I got an UTI after jamming up my peehole.

Yeah but they are taking your data from the laptop your mum bought yesterday and put all the family vacation pictures on. Mum didn’t know she had to kill off OneDrive or Microsoft will hoover up and monetise your memories.

Classic case of “history is written by the victors”. You only call it antimatter because it lost, if it won, you’d call it matter.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 releases today and it will not be playable on any Linux / SteamOS system 1 month ago:
Apparently BF6 is a rebound after 2042 being a flop. It’s not like it’s in the “Top 30 franchises ever”, but it’s apparently popular.
- Comment on Battlefield 6 releases today and it will not be playable on any Linux / SteamOS system 1 month ago:
At least we’re in agreement not to do any business then.
Does BF6 have a single player campaign worth pirating?

So they were laid off. Corpo-speak is insane.

It also got rid of some toxic mods since their actions are also public.
I remember a Reddit powermod complaining about it after the big migration.

- Comment on Tesla FSD turns off more U.S. consumers than it attracts, survey finds 2 months ago:
It’s the Brussels effect, it’s been mandatory in the EU for a while now.
I don’t get what FSD adds to the highway experience though, a Kia can drive hundreds of kilometers on a highway with basically no input as well.
