Is this a Jreg video?

Hoi hoi, liberal social democrat here, ready for some radicalization 🙂

I’d guess it’d be the opposite for some people who get tired of having to be constantly available.

There are multiple communities because these are all different servers, which don’t coordinate community names with each other.

There are some feature proposals on the lemny issue tracker that try to address this issue in different ways…

For people who are interested in the same things I am to glow faintly, the more similar interest, the more they glow.

Nah, the bloodstains on the floor are from the reaper’s scythe cutting them in their big toe.

Honey, where are my paaaaaaaaaaaaannntttssss?

Good idea maybe

Grow a trillion fast growing trees, and store the lumber someplace where it can’t release its stored carbon, climate change solved.

I am so confused…

Oh god, please don’t remind me of that terrible day, I lost it all that day…

The Problem of Induction!

“usually”, “almost always” It seems like there is also generally no simple solution to the complex problem of finding solutions!

Arguing that capitalism being allowed in China makes it capitalist would be akin to arguing that having social services such as public healthcare makes Canada communist.

I’d totally argue that having public healthcare, publicly-owned infrastructure, makes Canada or the US socialist lol. Technically the “workers” don’t directly own the particular publicly-owned means of production, but they definitely do have a say in how it is run through their vote.

Anyway…

Given that you say China is socialist (which seems insane given it is literally an authoritarian state: the workers don’t own the means of production, the state does!), my original question:

“Can you point to an example of a socialist country (by your definition of socialist) that is superior in a certain industry innovation-wise compared to a capitalist (by your definition of capitalist) country?”

Seems kind of stupid given that China is definitely leading in certain industries compared to more “capitalist” (US, EU, etc.) nations. (Mainly manufacturing industries).

So I’ll ask a different question.

Given all the pro-china arguments you’ve listed. Would you want to live there if you got the chance? And if so/if not, why?

I understand how capitalist competition often ends in monopoly, at least until the government steps in with anti-trust or there is significant innovation to undermine the monopoly. I wouldn’t say this is the defining characteristic of capitalism because I use the word to describe countries that aren’t total free markets because there aren’t any countries that have totally free markets.

You didn’t answer my question though, you just gave a list of countries (some of which, like China, I question are socialist at all). Are there any countries where “working class holds power, and the core economy of the country is either publicly or cooperatively owned” that have out-innovated countries that use capitalism?

What is the primary force that spurs innovation in a socialist country and how does it compare to the force that spurs innovation in a capitalist country?

Perhaps you are right, but wouldn’t the perfect health pill help with that?

Category theory is awesome!

2: This is genuinely a curse; You will remember every little thing that happens to you and it will haunt you forevermore.

Wouldn’t perfect memory recall just let you recall memories, not necessarily be forced to recall them? Whether or not you chose to do it or it haunts you seems more like a matter of mental health…

Can you point to an example of a socialist country (by your definition of socialist) that is superior in a certain industry innovation-wise compared to a capitalist (by your definition of capitalist) country?

Also, Idk what you define capitalism as, but I’m pretty sure meriam webster doesn’t call it “a system for concentrating wealth”. That might be a common result for many types of capitalism, but it is not the defining characteristic.

Isn’t there an open source apl you can download that accesses the activity API and shows how much you use different apps?
