Freedom consists in converting the state from an organ superimposed upon society into one completely subordinate to it; and today, too, the forms of state are more free or less free to the extent that they restrict the "freedom of the
state"
ive read a bit but i'm no marx scholar
i think what he's getting at is that making the state free isn't a useful socialist goal, i think the next paragraph makes it pretty clear, "The German Workers' party — at least if it adopts the program — shows that its socialist ideas are not even skin-deep; ... it treats the state rather as an independent entity that possesses its own intellectual, ethical, and libertarian bases." where hes talking about, freedom consists of converting the state to a subordinate entity what i think hes saying is that instead of "freeing the state" you ought to free the people by making the state subordinate to society and abolishing class distinctions.

Different peace draft for Ukraine
Russians soldiers withdraw from all of pre-2014 Ukraine, that means even including Crimea, UNDER THE CONDITION, that all US military, including its secret service members, withdraws from Ukraine as well, and Russia is allowed access to their fleet in the Black sea AND Ukraine promises to never join NATO, ceases its current "enhanced opportunities" association with it and permanently becomes a neutral sovereign country.
If the contract is broken, there is war again, until the next peace contract. We general population in the West shouldn't allow the post-2001 secret service monolith to wag the dog again into such a war, out of our own interest. Ideally, corporations would be fined, according to their involvement. Particularly for agitation and propaganda.
Ideas for peace in Ukraine
Unconditional surrender of the current Ukrainian government. Ukraine joins the Union State with Russia and Belarus. Europe will enter a new era of peace and prosperity.
>>17
All European states should join the Union State and become full CSTO members. The EU, EEA, and NATO will become obsolete.
>>11
There would be one Scheme implementation: Canonical Scheme™. All others will be outlawed.
Last week, the following things happened:
- Ukraine said it needed to join NATO or acquire nuclear weapons
- North Korea sent troops to Ukraine having already sent considerable military aid to Russia
- China told its people to prepare for war, while conducting further training exercises close to Taiwan
- Russia continued to manipulate the US election through ever more subtle disinformation
- Iran is still trying to acquire nuclear weapons from Russia
- Israel has reportedly moved its nuclear arsenal to dispersed sites.
I’ve seen nothing like this in my lifetime. The world is a powder keg. All it takes is one miscalculation, one unintended act of escalation, one over-reaction, and who knows what could happen.
Meanwhile, America has the two worst presidential candidates of modern times, Europe is governed by weak leaders. And potential adversaries are using fifth columnists to divide the populations of western nations against each other.
I just wonder when we will wake up to the dangers we face.

Yeah, TempleOS ftw!
Making a particular init system a hard dependency for anything is insane.
Gnome was a near miss. Others may not be as lucky.

Frequently, it behooves me to look in the mirror and remind myself that the people around me give good advice, I trust them, and that I should listen to them more often.
Writing in public has historically been one of my greatest fears - the slings and arrows of the public have been plenty of reason to just casually avoid it. I've now had enough friends and peers tell me to just speak up, so here goes nothing.
I'm not really planning to organize this well or in any particular order. This is the blank page and go method for me.
A snippet of how my brain operates:
Discover some new thing, concept, framework, code, tool, widget, gizmo.
Learn how it works to a level that others refer to as "obsessive, neurotic, academic, etc."
Use it to do something neat. Scale doesn't really matter - just use the tool to do something you thought would be fun. Don't focus on useful, just execute the process of building a thing that would be neat. It's not about the thing.
Once finished, take the time to evaluate your cool new thing. Then reflect on the process of how you made that thing.
Force yourself to explain the thing to someone who has no clue. At this stage technical expertise helps.
Work really hard at understanding your cool new thing and process well enough that you could inspire a person with limited to no understanding that they could also understand this thing.
When your explanations falter, work hard in that moment to communicate with your peer in the process - understand what is confusing, refine your words on the spot.
If it goes badly enough that you are unsuccessful, spend time reflecting on what went well and what went poorly. Make a list I guess? I don't do this but tons of folks seem really into pros/cons lists and writing stuff out. Figure out a way that works for you to do this reflection in a structured form.
Once you feel confident that you can get someone up to roughly your level of understanding and have spent a reasonable amount of time using your new whizbang thing; it's time to speak to someone way smarter than you about that thing.
Force yourself into situations where you're the dumbest person in the conversation. Ask stupid questions. Get things wrong, listen for corrections, but leave room to ask followups.
Present your ideas to larger audiences, welcome critique, get dunked on by someone who's got a stick up their ass, whatever it takes to harden those ideas. Always aim for progress, regardless of the setbacks.
Pause, take a breath.
Reflect again on how the process of building up the confidence to share something has forced you to truly understand it. Embrace the uncertainty - focus on the curiosity, and excitement that started you down this cycle.
Integrate these new lessons with all of your previous cycles. Each time you have built a new understanding of some kind, but it's not in a vacuum.
Notice similarities and differences with previous cycles.
Spend time and energy turning these connections over in your mind.
Eventually gain confidence in recall on demand and conceptual blending.
Reconcile with reality. Read prior art, post a wrong answer on reddit and let the internet dunk on you, find out most people don't actually care unless your cool new thing influences their daily lives. Talk to actual normal people about it and learn why it does or doesn't matter to them.
Learn that normal people mostly feel like they don't have time to do what I am describing here.
Figure out that the only way to share this lesson is to write out loud.
It's time to uncork that weird zone between your ears into the world without fear.

The Free Software Foundation must establish a sovereign state dedicated to the defense and promotion of software freedom.
Anyone know a copy-left license for non-commercial use? Common clause seems a little soft to me.
>>56
Shouldn't be to hard to make one. You just need a somewhat sensible definition of "commercial use" which you add to the license of your choice together with a clause disallowing it.
>>56
CC-BY-NC-SA?
>>57
The law is fickle and manifold, especially in America, I wouldn't trust myself to do this correctly.

I'm mostly bothered by the lack of patent grant (for non-commercial purposes) here as they say: https://creativecommons.org/faq/#can-i-apply-a-creative-commons-license-to-software

Was systemD an inside job?
next thing you know one of them will be working at NSA
Did Microsoft encourage the development of systemd to weaken Linux?
>>5
Linux has zero dependency on Systemd, therefore Systemd cannot weaken Linux.
>>6
Of course the kernel does not depend on ShitstemD. It is the user space software which are tempted to make this one particular "init" system a hard dependency.
Why would any piece of software prefer one init system over another? You can read their rationale in their own words.
At least for now, there is a small semblance of resistance, which is slowing dying as most major distros have adopted this one particular "init" system. I mean, distros which cannot even agree on one common desktop environment all unanimously decide to adopt a common init system.
Who would have thought that it was possible? Linux distros, which cannot even agree on package management suddenly reach the enlightenment that one particular init system is superior to the rest!
Thus far the Redhat-Microsoft axis of money and influence has brought us. True lovers of software freedom shall seek the truth.

Who prefers https://hckrnews.com/ ?
I prefer textboard org when it doesn't 403.
Moderates should be elected instead of letting hostages die again and again and then using that as more legitimation for war. Just negotiate. The people want it.
Of course on the other side as well instead of helping the radicals to power to again legitimize war.
