A few months ago, the search engine expanded its offering by making available data from OCLC’s proprietary WorldCat database. Anna’s Archive scraped several terabytes of data over the course of a year and published roughly 700 million unique records online, for free.

Scraping data is now “hacking”. Every single computer science department will have to close its doors and surrender their research datasets to the police.

Perfection!

Now, hear me out, this might sound crazy, but what if Europe gave historic reparations to Latin American countries for their colonialism and imperialism, therefore reducing the need for further deforestation? Though in all honesty a large portion of the current day deforestation is for soy plantations, which is used to make livestock rations that then go on to feed European and Yankee livestock for the profit of the local latifundiarios and nobody else. Despite what it may seem, most Brazilians (and the other countries) don’t really want more deforestation nor are they benefited by it.

And that’s not even counting all the indigenous people who are actively fighting the destruction and takeover of their lands, including a recent vote over legislation that could’ve legally barred them from claiming a lot of it.

Free Hawaii

Free Puerto Rico

Free Falklands

Is this a bit? It reads like sarcasm, but the post history doesn’t match.

No, there’ll not be any deportation, but I guess Yankees will have their own gusanos.

Red Nation (indigenous socialist podcast) talks a lot about the landback movement, and they have one episode specifically on it that I haven’t listened to yet. Here.

The best people to look at on how decolonisation and landback will look like is usually those very same nations’ activists. And some references on how it could work out in practice are China’s autonomous regions and some southern countries like Bolivia (heck, maybe even Ireland).

Sadly no country in America is a perfect reference on this, but the demands tend to point in similar directions. Things like autonomous government, language recognition and restoration, banning racist practices, access to basic life-sustaining services within their own borders.

It’s still up right now, they plan to kill it by 2024 and YTMP will supposedly be online by then. I suppose this has to do with reallocating their developers and avoiding redundant apps. Not that they’re consistent with the latter.

It’s not like podcast players are particularly complex to build and maintain, so they don’t require that much cashflow. Podbean sustains itself quite well with the odd image ad and AntennaPod is FOSS. I think the problem is more the opposite, since competition is so easy and monetising it would suck interest out of it, Google has no interest in actually competing. Which is why they’re trying to build their own walled garden with uploading your podcasts only directly to YouTube, RSS feeds be damned.

But if they blow up every house, there’ll plenty of housing to be built later on by EU companies. That’s basically the same thing, right? That’s what the citizens want, right?

Superhero comics are weird.

I also like this one:

Edit: this is Iron Musk’s token black friend, not Captain Napalm’s.

Are you done putting words in my mouth? What a weird one you are.

This carrot and stick approach is the Democrats’ speciality, block the strike through legislation while also confusing the narrative and giving breadcrumbs for a small portion of the workers to sap the momentum and put worker against worker.

If you want so hard to know what should’ve happened (you don’t really, you’ve already made up your mind about me), first off it should be up to the rail workers, but if I were one of them I’d recommend the strike go on despite any laws. The purpose of an union is to represent the will of all workers, not just the uplifted few or their politician buddies.

No, I’d rather a general strike brought the entire USA industry to a halt and the government/corporate classes to their knees, until the workers got every single one of their long overdue demands. Way to miss the mark.

Not a single time. There was this exact one mass shooting in another far away state when I was a kid and I remember how irrationally on edge everybody was for a couple weeks, so I can’t even imagine what it would be to have those happening regularly like that. I understand training kids to do it if you already have a school shooting problem, but those are really rare over here.

I’ve even heard from colleagues from gang-controlled regions that, in the case of a shoot out, they usually purposefully avoid having those near schools to avoid collateral child deaths.

If you read your own link, you’ll see that this is only for a couple rail companies, and not a guaranteed right in the future. It’s cool that they got something, but this is not a big win by any chance.

Also 4 sick leave days is frankly too little for a critical infrastructure and transportation industry in the country that had 1 million die of covid.

1. You’d be surprised how many Yankee “leftists” aren’t aware of basic stuff like the Radio Frees, the current indigenous genocide, school to prison pipeline, or the sanctions against the “authoritarian” AES countries (causing a lot of their real issues), among many others, and are very willing to side with their own meddling against countries that are actually trying something because they might be “not true socialism.” Even if all accusations against Cuba or China (I don’t know that much about Vietnam or DPRK) were correct, they’d still be the lesser evil by a long shot.

2. https://www.voanews.com/a/arab-league-visits-china-s-xinjiang-region-rejects-uyghur-genocide/7131285.html

There were other visits too, but NATO countries are mostly intentionally boycotting the investigation. I’m pretty sure any person who can do tourism in China can go there so long as they don’t break laws. But I remember a recent article where NATO countries were advising against travelling there, for mysterious reasons.

TIL that British people also eat the classic Marmita.

Please elaborate on what’s wrong with the article. Proclaiming “biased bias” and quoting mystical nameless “mainstream scholars” ain’t scientific.

And also explain who those Russian vacationers are who managed to singlehandedly declare two independent republics and a separatist movement. Might as well give me your Fantasyland timeline of the war against the DPR and LPR, because you are quite vague in everything you say and I can’t read your mind.

I assume you didn’t read the second one, about your claim over the snipers. Go back and read again. And who started the Donbas war?

Cool, now it seems you’re up to speed and are now aware that Ukraine already existed before 2022 and that it didn’t all start because of Russia randomly. Now read these too.

Do your thing, reply guy!

And nothing happened before that that involved people being killed?

directly from the wikipedia page:

In February and March 2014, Russia invaded and subsequently annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine. This event took place in the relative power vacuum on the immediate aftermath of the Revolution of Dignity and was the beginning act of the wider Russo-Ukrainian War.

Come on, study a bit. Have another one. When did this whole thing start again?
