No wonder the comments are weirdly positive. The mods delete anything even slightly critical. Is this community ran by paramount mods?

So they’re still chasing a general audience that isn’t interested, at the expense of an existing fanbase. Even though it’s been falling flat for at least a decade.
Y’all are nice for being apologetic & understanding for them, but if you want a new audience then you can make a new IP without all the baggage. Wrecking an existing IP doesn’t make sense.

Yes, most of the “top economists” are simply those who best regurgitate capitalist propaganda.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 1 week ago:
I have done my research. I’m positive I’ve read more theory than you, since you seem to think selling thinks makes you a capitalist. The education system failed you.
- Comment on We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things. 1 week ago:
Oh spare me. We’re talking about people supporting white supremacy as “nuanced” policy.

And the Spotify ceo just stepped down so he could focus on weapons systems for Israel. The people running all of our media services are Nazis.
- Comment on Sage advice? 1 week ago:
Same, but because burning sage is cultural appropriation of a sacred indigenous belief. We burn rosemary or cinnamon.
- Comment on We don't use the word 'fascist' because we wish harm on anybody. We use it because words mean things. 1 week ago:
A dead giveaway is when they start throwing around the word ‘nuance.’
It must be in the script they’re all taught, because every closet fascist or astroturfer loves defending fascist policies and actions with “nuance.”

Showing your ignorance again. Capitalism is not the existence of markets. It describes the concentration of wealth and control of resources to extract profit.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 1 week ago:
No, just people who swallow western propaganda without question.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 1 week ago:
Do you? The existence of markets does not make a country capitalist. Concentration of wealth and control of resources makes a country capitalist, and the party/people control the resources and profit allocation.

They’re literally executing billionaires.

How do you figure?

Use borg/borgmatic for your backups. Use rsync to send your differentials to your secondary & offsite backup storage.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 2 weeks ago:
People put shows and movies on YouTube already. You’re just not getting corporate backed media on there.
I’m not sure what role you believe capitalists have in creating media, but it’s clearly disproportionate.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 2 weeks ago:
You must be joking. The people who make any money producing online content are a very, very small minority.
And if people didn’t have to work 60 hour weeks to barely make enough to survive, we’d get a lot more creative content. All that would change is there wouldn’t be some talentless suit exploiting it.

We can do this, once we transition to socialism, and cut out the corporations. Run nodes on the community-owned fiber for free access to the citizens.
- Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one) 2 weeks ago:
The same people who already make the media. Just cut out the corporate middle-men, who soak up all the profit and contribute nothing to the content.

A tax on corporate use of AI to fund an artist stipend, to provide a living wage for artists.
- Comment on How can I optimize my jellyfin, specifically transcoding and the CPU usage involved? I'm running it off a mini pc so resources are everything 2 weeks ago:
Do you have another system you can use? Maybe with a video card on it that can help with pre-transcoding files?
This is what I ended up doing on mine. Was a big hit to my electric bill to pre-transcode the entire library (only for files that needed it), but now everything serves up in a flash. And the script runs as a nightly cron to catch any new stuff.
If you have to, maybe just dedicate the system you have here to transcode certain problematic content. Other than finding another download in a different format, I’m not sure there’s anything else you can practically do.
- Comment on Watch first, then wipe: Some China’s restrooms put toilet paper behind paywall 2 weeks ago:
What is being advertised?
It’s not markets that make a country capitalist. It’s the concentration of the wealth from those markets. And China has been jailing/executing their billionaires.

How do you figure? In what way does this imply concentration of wealth?

We need the international court to set hard caps that will result in prison time.
- Comment on Google says adblockers caused YouTube views count to drop - this is what adblockers told us really happened 3 weeks ago:
Because the AI integration is a recent change unrelated to this data. The commenter is pulling it out of their ass.
If we’re just throwing out theories, I’d propose it was the dramatic increase in ads with a decrease in quality of content being served by the algorithm. The only thing that gets front page access if clickbait.
- Comment on Political discourse 4 weeks ago:
I don’t believe that’s true. I’m not aware of any revolution the peasants lost.
- Comment on Political discourse 4 weeks ago:
The left is not calling for a Civil War. They’re demanding basic human rights for everyone, and the capitalist have made it clear they’d rather kill everyone.
If you feel equally threatened by the left and the right, it’s because you support fascism. You just prefer a lighter flavor of it that you’ve benefit from.
- Comment on Political discourse 4 weeks ago:
Another centrist who thinks the left just doesn’t get it.
- Comment on Political discourse 4 weeks ago:
Well if you say anything like ‘we shouldn’t give weapons to Nazis,’ you’re going to be labeled a tankie, too.
- Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges 4 weeks ago:
Agreed. They’re not even good products without the spying. Bad on top of bad.
- Comment on Political discourse 4 weeks ago:
Anyone who stands against genocide and opposes war has been lumped in with “tankie” for a long while now. That centrist is empowering the Nazis.
