  • Serbia is just showing us in really time that peaceful protests are only allowed because they are an inefficient tool to enact change (at best) and a harmful tool at worst.

    These protests were massive, lasted for months on end, spanned the whole country, were asking for extremely reasonable and mild changes and still haven’t accomplished anything of note.

    I know that the violent side didn’t come from the students but it will be interesting to see if this changes things






  • Try installing nvidia drivers on Linux and then report back in a few days

    Windows is shit but it’s more convenient and reliable and works way more easily out of the box for 99% of people. This is not even debatable

    And for the record I use all 3 major OSs. They all have their uses and Linux is great for a lot of shit but you 100% have to thinker with it way more than with other OSs.

    WiFi performance is iffy, same with Bluetooth. We have a ton of data from the company I work it so it’s not even just 1 machine. It’s a few dozen.




  • I think it was the most useless movie to watch/record in IMAX. The trinity test was visually extremely disappointing (Nolan’s fault for not wanting to use CGI and rely on practical effects to mimick a nuclear explosion was just stupid…) and also Oppie as a character in the movie is extremely bland and shallow

    And finally once again the only relevant female character is laughably bad.

    IMO from barbenheimmer, Barbie was the best movie or at least the one I’d more easily rewatch



  • Severance S1 and S2 are vastly different in quality

    The first one is very very good. Gripping, with the right amount of suspense and plot advancement.

    Season 2 had sooo much filler, useless plot arcs and a lot of stuff that was only included to make it MYSTERIOUS.

    I was super hyped for S2 but it didn’t live up to the wait.


  • There’s definitely education (or lack there of) and propaganda, but the main issue is wealth inequality in this neo liberal, capitalist world

    Wages have stagnated and everything is much more expensive. The quality of life of the majority of the population is massively worse than before. Yes we have cool gadgets and better healthcare due to technological advancements but the crux of the matter is that exploitation is tru the roof. People work 2 and 3 jobs and can’t make ends meet. Meanwhile billionaires get richer and richer in increasing pace.

    Public services get cut, people get ask to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and they look for someone to blame and are told to look down (to immigrants) instead of up (to the ultra rich).

    So as a leftist that I think identifies with Marxist-Leninist ideology but that didn’t find the communist manifesto an interesting nor easy read (it was small but not really approachable) are there any books that you recommend? I’m no economist but I do like reading logical arguments as to why capitalism doesn’t work, or better said, doesn’t work for the good of the majority but instead for a small minority (for whom it works very very well)



  • See my other comment.

    Russia can’t even conquer Ukraine after 3 years. They are only a bully to the little guys.

    Europe could easily demolish Russia and their old and tired military. I’m not saying that europe should invade Russia. Ofc not. But this Putin bluff is long gone. And ofc it’s Russia that can end this anytime they want but until they are forced to they won’t. Which bully do you know that returned the lunch money that they stole out of what? Compassion? Just because it’s wrong?

    And you are talking about WW3 but the EU is planning to triple their defence budget in preparation for war, so you tell me who wants WW3
