the US going down is objectively a good thing for most of the people on the world.
You cannot endore erdogan and be anti-war in Syria, these are mutually exclusive things since Syria is a goal of the neottomanist project.
lol that's such an infantile strategy, and it will work since the EU are their lackeys larping as if they're not
there is some sort of anti-social cue when people prefer pets than people
kid killed his parents but took the dog with him 😅
why don't we have like a factory size CNC yet? its kinda funny that we still forge stuff this way, but i guess its relatively cheap.
is there like a single damn thing that is not dropshipped or resold from china or asia in goddamn amazon?
reform through forced labour is good, tho there is a clear distinction when it's on a capitalist country and private individuals profit of the prisoners labour to when the prisoner labour is used to develop the country, like gulags in the USSR.
oh god libs are unbearably annoying
the army has many positions that do not have to deploy and kill people, there is a lot of maintenance engineers for example.
if you're american, enlist and sabotage the army
you could come up with the best theoretically possible electoral system and it won't change a thing since ultimately, the state in the West serves the capitalist class.
thatcher was right
It all leads to yet another settler project abroad, imperial core workers will once again be bribed into invading other countries, murdering and displacing the indigenous people in order to get theirs.
they only meet their lackeys so it's not happening anytime soon
Ukraine will be at the table, just not sitting on it
US envoy Kellog assures us that Ukraine will be at the table in the peace negotiations, just not specifically sitting on it 😂

Miami born Daniel Noboa, following his god-king Trump, announces tariffs on Mexican imports. He even copies Trump "they're not treating us fairly" excuse, and cites that Mexico is abusing ecuatorian producers.
In 2024, the trade balance between both countries accounts for merely $108M USD in favor of Mexico.
The main product Mexico exports to Ecuador is medicine and chemicals used to produce medicaments.
This comes the day after he proudly announces a trade agreement with Canada 😅 Noboa is giving a mas

fabric, in the simplest sense, is a CLI tool for a curated repository of prompts. It being a CLI tool means you can pipe stdin to it, so you can pass any file to it as input. It also offers some other niceties like a youTube transcription tool so you can use the prompts on youtube videos/podcasts/etc...
fabric has been out for a while but it wasn't very useful without a premium model like chatGPT. Now that deepseek-r1 was unleashed as an open source model, you can use this tool to improve your workflow in a variety of ways.
I've been playing with it using the summarize pattern mostly to read through MSM news articles (for example, some of yogthos posts), it works great and produces a clean markdown file as an output.
Elon Musk on Multiculturalism
If the nazi salute and the daily dogwhistles on twitter weren't enough, Elon musk slams the desk declaring himself a proud nazi by denouncing multiculturalism.
Honda-Nissan merger by 2026
Mitsubishi very likely to also merge considering Nissan is the top shareholder.
Normally, when a Latin American government passes legislation that contravenes its national constitution, shrieks of outrage inevitably follow from Western governments. Not this time.
I wonder why this is not covered by western media 🙄
wf-recorder setups?
wf-recorder is an utility to record your screen for wayland, can be piped with slurp to only record a section of your screen.
one thing that it's missing is an indicator for an ongoing recording, so i was wondering if anyone had some sort of indicator implemented with it.

Javier Milei on the campaign trail, eight months ago: "Not only am I not going to do business with China, I am not going to do business with any communist."
Turns out Argentina and many more countries rely on Chinese companies even to produce bills 😅
Some governments have asked Beijing not to publicise the deal because they are worried such information could compromise national security or trigger “unnecessary debates at home”, the person said.
They even know it's shameful lmao.
I wonder how many more "invisible" industries China dominates, i always assumed that central banks had the monopoly on producing their own physical currencies but turns out i was wrong.

(Stockholm, 22 April 2024) Total global military expenditure reached $2443 billion in 2023, an increase of 6.8 per cent in real terms from 2022. This was the steepest year-on-year increase since 2009.

Some key takeaways:
- NATO represents 55% of the global military spending, while only representing ~20% of the global population.
- An increase in military budget comes with a decreases of budget in education, healthcare, etc which will inevitably lead to worsening of living conditions.
- Saudi Arabia and Israel continue being the largest military spenders in the Middle East.
- 37% of Ukraine total GDP goes to military spending.

This could be another embarrassing setback for US foreign policy, this time in its so-called "back yard" (or as Biden calls it, "front yard").
This situation shows that the US does not have the economic power it used to have, Russian sanctions over banana imports were enough to sway Ecuador away from the arms deal. Overall it's a pretty funny situation where both Ecuador and the US look very silly.
