  • Blåhaj is a proud union member

  • I saw that before writing the comment, and it doesn't really change anything. If you want a blahaj of your own and got the sewing skills (from the looks of it you do need to be quite skilled), then sure but if you want to commercialize it and start sewing for others, you're now a small business and my comment above elaborates on what usually happens with small businesses.

  • That's literally impossible under capitalism. Blahaj is a commodity like any other, you can't attribute ownership to a certain group of people based on their qualities (welcome back racial segregation), and trans people aren't automatically more virtuous because of their struggles, so a trans small business owner selling Blahaj plushies for a living isn't immune from going full Hitler and abusing their workers, PR to get as much profit as possible.

    One of the worst job application decisions you can make is working for a small business owner, given their legal exemptions in discriminatory laws, them always being on the edge of going bust causing them to take psychotic measures to increase profits, and very little infrastructure in place at the job location due to their lack of money causing safety/medical issues.

  • They kinda are necessary, given how they're the byproduct of capitalism's private property model and its commodification.

    You could technically remove them by having the state manage all the housing, but that's overly idealistic given how that'd go against the ruling class interests which would cause heavy lobbying by big landowners. It would also make the state a monopoly landowner which would have its own implications.

    In other words, they're necessary not because they're useful, but because of how dogshit the system is.

  • What's that? You don't want to throw yourselves into a meatgrinder to protect the private property rights of your fellow rich nationals?

  • A nuanced take on the Israel-Palestine conflict

    Jump

  • I get that it's a slight against enlightened centrists huffing on their "civilized debate" fumes they just breathed out, but how much does it really matter?

    It's not like if everyone magically acknowledged that Israel is committing a genocide, we're all going to organize just for that and overthrow our bourgeoisie states just for funding them. Having a couple more activists doing adventurism or protests won't do anything either as history shows time and time again (in fact, the former tends to make things worse).

    Both workers and influencers are powerless in this regard, unless the state of current things changes.

  • It's a different use case - bottles is really good for playing games outside of steam (like pirated titles or non-steam games) since it has sandboxing + you just drag and drop the game folder, then add executable as shortcut and run without having to fiddle with paths and set up each game individually. Convenient for software too that runs better on proton too.

    If you don't do/have a need for any of that, then you don't need bottles.

  • Fan of Flatpaks ...or Not?

    Jump

  • I like them as an option, there are some programs like Bottles or specific game launchers that work under flatpak better than the versions available via native package manager (with Bottles in particular, you can use various built-in sandbox features via flatpak which makes things a bit more secure), but it's also a bit of a pain because it's an additional package manager you have to update separately now, or tweak if things go wrong.

  • What is the worst online community, that isn't Reddit, that you know about and all should avoid?

    Jump

  • Yeah, pretty sure its the devs of the game that are ultimately responsible for moderating their game forum, making internal employees or trusted players mods and so on. The main issue comes from communities that aren't being moderated, or from the general steam forums.

  • What is the worst online community, that isn't Reddit, that you know about and all should avoid?

    Jump

  • Not as bad but still quite terrible are probably the steam forums. There are some systems in there that literally encourage and reward saying the most stupid/offensive shit, and with a very lax moderation it's just a complete mess.

  • "We can just vote our way into making it work!" 😁🙄

    Jump

  • I mean, even this kind of argument doesn't really work in reality. We already live in "hell on earth", and via electorialism usually two choices are given: the progressive "nothing ever happens" option (so your socdems, democrats, you'll be lucky to get a good policy or two but no real change to the status quo) or "literally hitler" option, maybe some parties that stand in the middle of the spectrum if the country is "advanced" enough.

    In other words, via electorialism you can either preserve the hell on earth or make it worse, and the process of voting legitimizes this status quo as it's what "people have decided" rather than who the ruling class cast as candidates, who had the most money and media influence for campaigning.

    It's important to see electorialism for what it truly is.

  • Trans teen’s chess win in Germany prompts backlash

    Jump

  • Chess “is diverse and inclusive,” the German Chess Federation said

    Lol, lmao even. It's one of the more sexist sports there are in terms of organization, often marginalizing women and most of these marginalizing structures are still there to this day. This isn't to excuse anti-LGBT rhetoric, but pretending like everything is fine with chess probably doesn't help.

  • Media Did Their Best to Scare Voters Away From Zohran Mamdani

    Jump

  • Did they really? If you look up his name via a search engine and grab results dating a month back and beyond, there's plenty of articles giving non-negative spotlights of him. If the establishment media were all trying to unanimously sabotage him, all they'd have to do is the opposite - stop reporting on him, given how politics is just money + media competition.

    Making a barbaric system more humane is pointless, as it tends to revert itself back.
