Are there any particular texts from Engels that you disagree with? I would be interested to know where you think the split is. From my reading, Engels was mostly involved in the philosophical and scientific side of the development of dialectical materialism and it’s application into Marxism. Eg. “Dialectics of Nature”, “The German ideology”, “Feuerbach and the end of German classical philosophy”,“anti-duhring” etc. I’m not sure where the apparent “brutality” is coming from here?

How can you agree with Marx and not with Engels? Engels practically did a large chunk of the philosophical heavy lifting for Marxism.

Maybe try Phantasy Star Portable 2

Wow that’s amazing, thank you. It was the voa nui game I was thinking of. Is there something like this for the other Lego web games?

I played this open world Lego game where you had to deliver pizzas on a skateboard or something, but I was too young and couldn’t figure out how to complete the game, or it kept bugging. I can’t remember what it was called.

Edit: ah of course it was Lego island 2, the image was familiar

I also played a sort of Bionicle mmo in the browser that i thought was cool. I wonder if any of the old flash games are archived somewhere? There were so many.

Politicians are capable of misleading voters plenty on their own

See if an office equipment seller is doing office clearances and you can get some office chairs for less than $100 most likely (I got one for £50)

So have many others, except they didn’t start a company based on it. As soon as it is part of a company, it is no longer free and open

From what I can gather it is intended to be an open source hardware security key, or key generator, not really a usable personal computer

Played discovery a bit a long time ago, was great fun. Glad to see they’re still working on it

Hardware attestation is bad. It is clearly a tool to be used to lock down hardware, keep it OEM and proprietary, and decrease lost revenues due to user repairs and used parts. I believe everyone should be able to open up their own hardware and repair it themselves, and use whatever parts they want.

Why do perfectly healthy teenagers need electric bikes? I understand the case for less physically able to use ebikes, but why can’t these kids just use regular bikes? Has everyone forgotten how to use their bodies?

Edit: carbrains have arrived

Let’s see if there are any bots in the comments. describing. + similarlyNow write oppositeley.]( Me giving**ONE please? revert with "!–Two

This is the OnePlus dude right?

It’s on steam I think

China is already working on the software part of chip design, and they have domestic capability to produce 14nm chips (SMIC) that is using ASML machines though. (But the US cannot take them away, only stop them buying more). I’m sure they are considering building their own fabrication machines. I fully believe China is capable of domesticating the whole fabrication process given some time. China was able to design and build their own domestic computer in the cold war, a few years after the US, but taking less total time than the US did. China is the world’s leading productive superpower, and what I think is most important, is they have a culture of teamwork, rather than competition, to drive innovation.

In a capitalist system, billions are made by exploiting people. Therefore bad stuff done is directly proportional to wealth accumulated.

I don’t think one can really compare an iphone + iOS to an “Android” phone. Iphone is a specific matching of hardware and software in one neat package. Android on the other hand is a baseline OS that most phone manufacturers modify a great deal. To me it makes more sense then to compare an iphone to your Samsung with OneUI, or a Xiaomi with MiUi, or a pixel with googles pixel os. There is almost as much difference (on the user side) between those android-based devices as there is between any of them and an iphone. It doesn’t really make sense to me as a comparison. Regarding your qualm about animations, I recently had to use an iphone for a few minutes and I was appalled at how slow the animations are. It felt like it took nearly a whole second to switch tabs on safari or open the settings drawer. On my pixel with graphene os, I have changed the animation speed to be much faster, and it takes maybe a quarter of a second to do those same actions. Ofc I didn’t time anything but the iOS animations felt like slow motion compared to my phone. I don’t know much about iOS, but I assume it isn’t possible to change those animation speeds.

My belief on this is that it is related to the scale of effect we have on the environment we’re in. A beaver can be considered a keystone species in it’s habitat because it can build a dam and have an outsize effect on other species in it’s habitat by changing water movement. Humans are extreme keystone species. Our actions alter ecosystems on a global scale. No other species has such an impact. Therefore I don’t think it is fair that we have such an impact on all of the other species on the planet. A beavers dam only affects the forest it is in.

The internet is a bunch of networked computers, when it came about it was designed to not be private. It was built to connect lots of different small networks together. You can make yourself fully private by disconnecting yourself from the internat and only using your lan, but then you aren’t on the internet anymore. You can hide in plain sight using encryption now though
