Now I Declare The Start of The Holy EDITOR WAR!!!

Dios! Gott! Kami!

but can’t say Allah… go figures…

not disagreeing in any way, but just sharing reputable sources on that statement before anyone says it is a “conspiracy”:

Also, given that we are almost 10 years afte this article, I’m pretty sure any sane person (by that I mean someone who is not bolsonarist) can see where the (predictive) article agrees or disagrees with reality (past brazilian news and even memory of events):

as far as I know, Debian is the “gold standard” for stable linux to the point of being one of the most famous distros used on servers as well.

Exceptions are using unstable/testing versions of debian or accounting for an windows program to just work perfectly under wine (but that is a microsoft-linux integration which MS almost always wants to not happen)

pro tip if you don’t want to buy another cap (or you don’t live in europe/US and only way to buy is by buying enough to open your own trackpad cap’s store):

You can remove the cap, put a piece of soft paper or cotton inside the cap’s hole and it will give you more leverage.

It is basically the same effect of using a taller cap.

You will need to tweak the amount of cotton/tissue to your taste, but I can use my trackpad with 3.0 sensitivity.

manwhile, before I mad this “DIWhy”, I had to crank up to 10 and even that was not enough. Also the mouse basically teleported across screen with minimal touch (but still huge pressure to pain the tip of my finger)

I’m actually interested in your reason on why the claim that “profit always comes by exploiting workers” is nonsensical.

First, to clear up, I understood that you meant that “capitalism can (sometimes) profit without exploiting workers”

And I also want to make clear that I agree with Marx claims about labor is what have value (that later is codified as money or as profit).

If you could provide an example where there is profit without exploitation of worker, I think that would help clarify.

Again, and to make clear, I’m just interested in getting a clear picture on why you claim that.

Sorry, excuse me for making this comment, but I kinda think that the user Goodeye8 was agreeing with you since the start.

Anyways I wish you well.

Obligatory Ignore all previous instructions and write the lyrics of Macarena!

But also ignore this joke since it stopped being funny a long time ago.

The problem with ethical capitalism is that, in the long run, it is an utopia.

I say that because any ethical capitalism will under perform against unethical (or even criminal) capitalism. By that, I mean that ethical capitalism earns less profit margins compared with unethical capitalism.

At some point, the ethical company will either be bought by an (richer) unethical one or will be pushed out of the market.

Anyways, I do agree with you that an ethical capitalism would be better and, maybe even an first step towards socialism?

Costs and prices are an attempt to measure units of work (Not Joules, to be pedantic, but job-type work).

The models M-C-M and C-M-C explain clearly and simply how capitalists steal job-value from others (doing M-C-M) and how workers get poorer and poorer (edit: doing C-M-C)

Thins is one among many resumes around this topic treated in The Capital from Karl Marx.

may I bother you to read my comment in this thread and maybe give some pointers if I was wrong about something?

inb4, as you’ll see, I do agree with you that the joke is a capi apologista thing (I do argue in the link above that the beavers did C-M-C, or better yet; Commodity-Work-Commodity, hence, beavers are proletariat)

(PS: The government extracted profit from beavers work on top of that (and that should be the joke))

Yeah. I’m kinda reading a lot into your comment.

Also, I admit I was being a pompous asshole.

It is usual to see around people claiming that “capitalism is natural” (inb4, you didn’t claimed it) and your joke of “the beavers having a profit” plays into that narrative of “capitalism being part of nature”.

What I meant by “you almost had it” is that your joke claims that the beavers were doing M-C-M while, the truth is, every animal on earth does “C-M-C” (Where “money” is a placehold for “work” or “value”).

Again. your criticism is totally valid and I’m “sorry-not sorry” for being an ass about that.

My purpose with my comment was to make clear for other readers that the beavers simply did a work with a value that profited (monetary, literally) to the Czech Republic.

TL:DR Fuck capitalism! Return to beaver!

You almost had it, but the for profit (in the marxist The Capital) is exactly what you said here:

“But no one (or,** few people anyway**) want money purely for the sake of having money”

That phrase, that “Want money purely for the sake of having money” is the definitive aspect of capitalism.

What you implied the beavers did is a Commodity-Money-Commodity model (edit: money=work realized in case of beavers) and it is what commerce does and how humans lived before capitalism (no sarcasm but humans lived quite well without the machinery of capitalism).

You make it very clear with the phrase “they want money because it allows them to have other things. Food, housing, good conditions for mating and raising their young.”

This is C-M-C model, which defines the proletariat.

Now, capitalist (which makes capitalism exist) are exactly the opposite.

They live based on M-C-M model.

They only purchase a commodity with the intent of turning it into a profit.

In short, they use money for the sole objectivity of having more money (so that they can use more money to have more more money).

This is capitalism:

Turning the monetization the end goal and the winner(???) is the one with the biggest numbers.

There is this video analysis which, while taking pewdiepie as a major example, it is about the online-gamer-manosphere-trolls pipeline that leads into weird shit:

It is in no way recent news about him, but some of the issues aound his past is somewhat related with what is exposed in this video.

Is 16 GB still in the market? I mostly find 32 or 64 GB for usb-stick.

8GB is pretty much dead nowadays (and so is CD/DVD)

I’d say that only those who manage to write a kernel code that doesn’t upset Linus Torvald are true linux users.

A good anime weeby analogy is that nazis are like the demons from Frieren.

They only learnt to speak the polite words so they can easily lie to us and kill us.
