also piracy, ironically

i wouldnt

also tankie nerds

do humans necessarily need to be autistic to reject the bad state of affairs capitalism has put us into?

thats kinda sad. yall need to rely on just 1% of the population on having the perception to solve that shit for you?

its about hegemony more than just oil. the petrodollar is a means to an end in that respect, thats why oil is so important.

the us will still find a way to target dissent even without oil in the mix. if we let them win and stay hegemons past the inevitable oil crisis, that is.

get outta here with your socialism

“errors” like anything positive about socialism and stuff i bet. or anything bad about himself.

thats not really the reason brazil does this. our restrictions on imports come because our ruling class makes pretty much nothing and rely on having a cornered retail market they can profit off of. just capitalism things, kind of unique but nothing really new.

back then, the argument was about “venda casada” (no idea how to translate this). its when you buy something and you are forced to buy something else on their terms to make it work. they ruled that manufacturers can’t force you to buy a windows license from them when you are already paying for a computer from them.

instead of selling it without an os, many of them offered linux as an option and passed the savings on to the customer, not unlike some manufacturers are doing in the us nowadays. most people got it with the intention of reformatting the machines with pirated windows for free, but many tried it and stuck with linux. we got a lot of adoption for a while there.

shit i remember reading about it years ago, but can’t find the study now.

guess i ate the onion.

is he… paul walken?

kid is smart. you gotta have a security lock on your bike if don’t want it stolen.

yall been posting some amazing water is wet science lately.

not much chance of pacific movements when an imperialist hegemon keeps stirring shit up over there.

my country has had a law forcing manufacturers to provide alternatives to windows. many computers come with linux here, and we have a weirdly high market share for linux because of it.

the most dangerous profession in the world has gotta be iranian nuclear scientist.

we dont actually need adventurism to solve things.
