81·2 days agothe 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.

it makes sense though
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.
hehe
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.

Windows 13 is going to have first completely uncooperative AI. You ask him to open system setting and it says “the fuck’s good for me, eh?”. You tell him to download Winamp and it tells you “what the fuck is that shit? it does even collect your data! fuck you, i’m not dowloading that, the gall!” or you tell him to turn itself off and it tells you “nah, i’m good” or if you ask to switch to manual it tells you “get fucked, you ain’t getting that”.
tankie gonna say it was due to mismanagement or some shit like that
it is both plausible and intriguing




It’s not ok but that where we at.
