That’s different. That’s your own video. Having control of your own video makes some sense. The Reddit stuff is not directly analogous.

Yes exactly. Actual left wing communities get banned on Reddit (like Chapo Trap House did a while back and when I started visited it a lot less)

That is not true. Labels aren’t for normies. There’s a reason a lot of center-right people love Bernie. And it’s not because of your incorrect use of political labels.

Reddit is not left-wing. Could you define left-wing?

by skinnymuch 1y ago
Yes. HN is a western, liberal, and capitalist hive mind essentially. Or to put it another way, it is for the status quo, more or less. Things like coops are naturally going to not be too well received in such a place.

I think it works thru a MCP to use it on your mobile device or am I mistaken?

It’s just Basecamp and Hey now right? I liked when they had more than 2 products as a reference for Rails apps. I still feel immense nostalgia for Basecamp 1 and Backpack It. —- I love Rails but disagree. Using InertiaJS and React, Vue, or

The ecosystem isn’t there with Phoenix unfortunately. It’s why I stick with Rails or Laravel.

A few weeks ago because there were 2 HN comment sections shitting on NextJS endlessly, I decided to go back to Rails. I have ported a chunk of my likely last full stack JS project over to Rails with AI vibe coding everything as a reference

Are you familiar and adept with React/Vue/Svelte? I haven’t looked at Stimulus or Hotwire much yet. Just picked Rails up again a few weeks ago. Tailwind and Shadcn (or similar ui) are standard for me now.

I’m using Rails with IntertiaJS which allows React Vue or Svelte for your front end views for Rails or Laravel (made by Laravel). Rails is amazing compared to NextJS or Express + React for me. Getting a lot more done. Writing a lot less cod

Hah that is so unfortunate when it’s so much nicer not to be using electron.

That’s not heavy censorship. That’s a bit of censorship.

Marxism isn’t about utopia. Marxism isn’t only about class you are referring to. The people who usually say that sort of thing are white westerners. Marxism is difficult to understand for westerners who center themselves too much like you a

The west doesn’t have real democracy either. For the gay stuff, like the west?
106.
by skinnymuch 1y ago
Yes it is. Unless you’re saying it’s not “old democratic” any more. Which is true since Mao Zedong Thought contains what he calls and enacted as “new democracy”. I’d be curious what your definition of democracy is. Mine is the will of the p

What is different or which part of my comment are you replying to?

China is New Democracy. Democracy for these people’s chauvinism just means whatever the state dept wants them to believe.

“You lost the debate a while back”. If you are downvoted for political stuff especially when it relates to non-western things, that’s a great indicator you didn’t lose any discussion.

Ghost cities have been shown as western made up cope. — China is not individualist in a selfish way like the west. Collectivism is a good concept. Thank god their property rights are not barbaric like the west.

As the other sister comment said. I was replying to you saying YouTube has downloading in a thread about file access. I use the YouTube premium offline access, it’s nice but I only have premium for mobile background.

Can you access those downloads?

Saying that your standard response is the standard response of any oppressor isn’t exactly illuminating. Literally the whitest man response possible. Your comment can be adjusted a bit and it would work for “do black men have no agency” con

I said two labels to give an idea of my politics. You’re not supposed to think everything revolves around your interpretation of those labels. > So then what's this imperialism of America you're yapping about? Same here. You sa

Ukraine arguably gave up its sovereignty when it became a neo-colony of the imperialist west and NATO in 2014. No one has the heavens mandate to any land. We are only human. Not gods. You don’t get to do whatever you want on the land of you

Interesting how this is always about how liberal democracy (namely European supremacist nations like yours) who control the world as the global north and are the primary reasons for the “autocracy” I don’t know where you can even think the

by skinnymuch 1y ago
That’s not what imperialism means. At all. Next you’ll say China wanting reunification with its own people is imperialism but NATO in Ukraine isn’t. Or they can be equivocated. I haven’t heard about the disarming stuff. I don’t think that p

You can’t separate colonialism and imperialism from Korea. As if any of us know what Korea would be doing if the west didn’t invade then sanction among other things.

When those foreign companies are from [western] countries where massive unequal exchange against them happens, the moral focus should be on that. Universal individualized liberalism isn’t inherently good.
