  • Taking communist to mean materialist:

    Rust is CPP but RAII memory model is enforced by the compiler and there is no C subset (just foreign function interface). It became popular because it basically absorbed a lot of saavy high level language constructs into something that could compile to machine code rather than needing a runtime on the system. In the same vein it became very popular because the tooling was all first party (linting, package management, static analysis).

    The compiler requires LLVM (which is complicated on some platforms), and there are no shared libraries so every rust program is statically compiled with hundreds of libraries and so compilation takes much longer. There is gccrs which is an effort to port the language to GCC.

    Now my personal opinion TM

    I dislike rusts large dependency tree for even trivial programs and its npmification. The lack of ABI and reliance on static compilation is also a deal breaker for me.

    But also I feel like rust programs generally tend to be of higher quality and they actually are great at porting and claiming what they preach. Rust basically disproved Javas insistence on a virtual machine runtime and showed that compiling to machine code was still always possible.

    I just wish everyone used lisp instead.

  • Normies is the excuse people give for not demanding more.

    Also epic games is ass. Chinese video game capitalists will face the wall.

  • Another plot hole nitpick with Pluribus (mild spoilers)

    Jump

  • The reason this rule exists is to artificially kneecap the plurb and make them the villainous zombie invasion.

    Its given as a mid season twist and basically solidifies that everyone besides carol and manousos are bad and evil for letting the plurb get humanity extinct.

    The writers think communism is good in theory but then it has famines because people lose their agency.

  • Pluribus is disappointing (Season 1 spoilers)

  • Oh crap I forgot. Also thanks for mentioning the Berlin wall thing since that's another pointer to the shows anticommunism, like even more explicitly so.

  • Rust doesnt even have shared object librairies how are they going to create an operating system for it?

    The Linux kernel is one monolithic static binary so rust works for it, but windows isn't.

    Techinfluencers will also be thrown in the hole.

  • Have you taken the time to understand that these sorts of things never happen in New South Wales?

    I'm glad we dragged that liberal Zionist in the news mega.

    Also the attack on the professor in brown university, false alarm everyone its not a antisemitic incident, just a disgruntled student murdering his previous instructor in cold blood.

    Sorry not sorry for adding this to the "antisemitism is real" pile, but you have to understand, Jews are oppressed and uwu little babies.

  • The MIC and pentagon regularly feign incompetence or lack of strength to maximize wartime funding.

    War is a racket to these people and they need to milk it for all its worth given that the real climate change wars will start very soon.

  • Also incredibly anti-vegan and carnist when the plurb's solution is eating people to not let them go to waste.

    I thought the plurb being vegan was really cool and compelling but its actually why carnism has a place.

  • Its not rationalist BS. When you decide to have a "sci-fi" show like this, making the zombie virus even attempt to spread via interspace transmission means it's a malevolent force.

    There are no more arguments in support of the plurb. They will virtually all die out, consume most of their energy on transmitting a virus that wipes human-like specieses out and then stagnate endlessly or go extinct. Its why the show ends on a triumphant cliffhanger where carol teams up with manousos to "save the world" with an atom bomb.

    This show is about zombies not a hivemind (or is it a zombie hivemind?)

  • Anticommunist in that its orbiting around the hivemind genre of anticommunism which goes back to the red scare with films like "invasion of the body snatchers" (1956)

    Invasion of the body snatchers had no references to communism or the Cold war, but the subject matter of the film, of conformity vs. Individuality, of being taken over by a unknown force, was fully in line with the themes of the red scare.

    Pluribus is anticommunist specifically in that it creates a space where the "individualists" are all bourgeois who live in capitalist, neoliberal countries while the hivemind presents a fatally flawed "collectivity" that the individualists have a moral imperative to fix.

    The Stalin line does count. Why choose Stalin and not Hitler? Even when the character of Carol delivers that line, there is no pushback to it. How sure are we that this is simply carols flawed hyperbole from her upbringing in-text or actually just a flourish for the writers on carols "character moment" at the end of the second episode.

    Also associating Stalin with mass death has been the top priority for anticommunists since his death. It acts to delegitimize him and his contributions and to prevent people from reading his work itself and not second hand sources criticizing him (because who wants to read the writing of a mass murderer).

    The line wasn't for nerdy commies, it was a dramatic remark to reinforce that communism will not be discussed in any way. Bravo Vince is also a liberal and liberals emit anticommunist brainworms.

  • The picking fruit rule is so goofy. Plants don't get hurt when you pick fruit they scientifically don't have a consciousness in any way that can be perceived by humans.

    Pluribus stopped being an interesting character drama for me and instead became zombie invasion slop with that one rule alone. Instead of eating peoples corpses they brew them up in a delicious milk explained to you by John Cena.

    The show does not want you to see the pluribus as anything other than antagonists. It played fast and loose in the beginning for the sweet TV engagement but it eventually just shuffled itself into predictable tropes.

  • The show doesn't make that inconsistent when Carol finds out that they're attempting to send the virus to other planets, or that this virus is a result of previous instances of the virus attempting to spread, or that the virus is only really effective on human-like animals that have the capacity to reverse engineer the transmission.

    You can kill the entire plurb just by screaming at them for long enough and if there was no way to reverse it that was feasible or that time was running out on the finite lifespans of the unplurbed then killing them all would protect future human-like inhabitants.

    It also doesn't help that manousos is the only adult who doesn't fuck the pluribus (whose infected individuals cannot consent).

  • I think the first two episodes, then episode seven are the most bang for your buck (don't pay for apple tv) if one is just looking for prestige tv slop (they probably blew the budget on those episodes)

    Every other episode is slow, boring exposition and character dialogue oh and it shows.
