seems like too much messing around to make it a widespread solution.

and then instead of GTA 6 we will get Manhunt 3 which will be the immersive sim with realistic murder mechanics and actual functioning organs inside each characters (including brain).

exactly - it is borderline impossible to manage on large scale projects with any semblance of coherence.

the problem is that companies will find a way to screw devs with that too. Imagine figuring out a solution to track every single bit of contribution to keep royalties as low as possible based on STATS BYATCH. it will literally turn into “your grass texture will bring you 0.00000000000000000000000001 cent off each sale” kind of fuck around.

the most horrifying thing is that during that period soviets also proceeded to wipe out almost the entire Ukrainian intellectual elite under various false pretenses. One generation gone - just like that.
The most egregious example was The SVU trial (translates as Union for the Freedom of Ukraine trial) - a completely made up case with mock trial drummed up by the media - it was meant to take out folks who seemed out of line with “nationalist” tendencies threatening the state integrity in some nebulous way.

Lysenko the shitty botanist happened a bit later and his ideas had repercussions way into 1970s. Lysenko was still on the come-up back in early 1930s but he really started getting political weight a bit later in 1935-36 when the purges happened and his bullshit started really messing things up after WW2 into the 1950s.
Meanwhile, Holodomor was way more diabolical and spiteful act. Ever since the soviets took over Ukraine - they had paranoia about nationalist uprising taking them out. For a while, a workable solution was to provide national representation. The whole Ukrainization policy. Eventually, their own policy got them scared so much they started the russification policy to undo “the damage”. They started taking out various Ukrainian political and cultural figures under false allegations.
At the same time shambolic economic reforms and collectivization attempts led to people questioning government competence and demand proper political representation instead of whatever soviets tried to do. The government solution was to call business owners and rich upper class peasants the enemy and go full feudal - purge the politically active people (call it the continuing class struggle) and turn peasants into collectivized serfs under kolkhoz system with no representation or rights. They couldn’t even travel without their superior permission and had no documents. And to seal the deal - start village blockades - attrition into submission and assimilation.

Adam Curtis’ Pandora’s Box series has a funny bit about Aleksei Gastev and his scientific management theories - dude wasn’t even political, he just liked figuring out how to get shit done efficiently. His ideas were essentially what is today known as innovation-driven project management - so naturally he was gulaged and commie cronies used feudalism instead.

what’s baffling is that there are people who seriously argue that education is a commodity or even luxury and not a basic human right.

More like the destruction of shadow libraries make education way worse because you can’t find a lot of stuff otherwise.

Yeah comrade, it seems weird that companies make portable computers so brittle.
- Comment on A hypothesis 1 week ago:
I used to have Asus hybrid tablet laptop and it was my favorite computer simply because it had both keyboard and touchscreen and it was super fun to point your finger at the screen instead of using the touchpad. the downside was that the connector port wore out relatively quickly and it started glitching and then the touchscreen broke down and that was all she wrote for that adventure.

what’s cool about it is that custom build is always a Theseus Ship and eventually you switch every single component but it is still your PC.

I don’t get the hype for Apple stuff. Custom built desktops or frankenlaptops look way cooler and it is a lot of fun to finally figure out what kind of gear you need.

I was shocked when i found a box full of them. Just couldn’t comprehend how many of them can be. Probably 50 if not more. If you pack it in a sock - it would knock someone out.
And then my dad said - you think we bought all that furniture in one go? That shelf - one. That bookcase - one. That bed table - three and so on. Years later when we moved out to our new apartment and started buying new furniture - i noticed that these wrenches keep on piling up naturally.

Our local bookshop used to have similar sign at the door. It’s a coffee shop now because people took that “do not enter” to heart.
