Horseshoe theory is debunked nonsense, using it like a trump card in an argument is hilarious.
Read Blackshirts and Reds, by the way.
I recently saw a video on it, saying that it's true, but in tge context of US politics
As an outsider looking at America, the vid makes sense. I saw some comments on the net say that RW Trump was the first US president to go to Nk and meet Kim rather than some LW one. I don't know whether the meetings were useful tho
Yep. It says that the mainstream left n right in the US is pro-ruling class, with only minor differences and they get entangled around only entry-level topics without going after the materials reasons for issues n solving them.
I think they mean the democrats, with the term to mean the US mainstream 'left'. The video criticises both the Left and Right under that definition.

What's a "tankie," in your eyes, and how are they meaningfully distinct from Communists? Marxists defend AES, can acknowledge the failures and struggles of AES while praising the myriad successes as well, it's liberals that always refuse to have a nuanced take on AES.
Secondly, there is no such thing as a "balance of both" Capitalism and Socialism. Either the Proletariat is in charge or the Bourgeoisie are in charge, and as such there will never be a balance.
Gotcha, so the anti-Deng ultraleft Maoists who denounce the modern PRC are the "tankies." You'll be happy to know that they are a fringe view among modern Marxists, especially fringe on Lemmy.
Also, ban evasion, misogyny, and homophobia all in one comment? Is that a bingo?
You may be interested in the article Why do Marxists Fail to Bring the "Worker's Paradise?" Marxists disagree with the idea that AES states are autocracies, while acknowledging that AES certainly isn't a wonderland.
Additionally, Marxists don't have an issue with hierarchy, but classes. The Marxist and Anarchist notions of the state are different, and as such judging AES by how well it advanced goals it never had is a bit silly.
The dictatorship of the proletarist refers to the reversal of class dynamics in which the working class becomes the ruling class of a country and by necessity oppresses the owner class (e.g. expropriation of factories). It is not literal dictators.
Lemmy was created by communists and the ml instance is administered by them.
There is a difference.
A lot of people who claim to be liberal, just aren't left wing. The good example is the FDP party in Germany.
To quote Wikipedia:
The FDP's political position has variously been described as centrist, centre-right, and right-wing. The FDP has been described as liberal, conservative-liberal, classical-liberal, and liberal-conservative. Other sources have described the party as libertarian or right-libertarian.
There are left wing liberals, but don't act like they usually call themselves liberal.
The "authoritarian" left is just the framework of every revolution that actually won. There is a very special kind of Western detached romantic chauvinist "left" that believes only in failed and failing pure leftism and tragedy and is shocked and outraged at what it means to win, to establish defenses, to keep a nation or nations running.
There is no liberal left. Liberals are the mainstream political and are by definition conservative under global capitalism.

[GUIDE] Installing Steam on postmarketOS using FEX Emulator and Distrobox
cant mount home on boot
Im giving a go fedora silverblue on a new laptop but Im unable to boot (and since im a linux noob the first thing i tried was installing it fresh again but that didnt resolve it).
its a single drive partitioned to ext4 and encrypted with luks (its basically the default config from the fedora installation)
any ideas for things to try?
The error says /home is a symlink, what if you ls -l /home?
Since this is an atomic distro, /home might be a symlink to /var/home.
mkdir /home
make /var/home a symlink to it.
Alternative, edit your /etc/fstab to mount on /var/home.
do still need to update it regardless the reboot?
Edit: Probably try @nanook@friendica.eskimo.com's solution of systemctl daemon-reload first.
Yes. When booting, your system has an initial image that it boots off of before mounting file systems. You have to make sure the image reflects the updated fstab.
You might be right. I was thinking of it in terms of a traditional distro, as I use vanilla Debian where my advice would apply and yours probably wouldn't.
From what I do know, though, I guess /etc would be part of the writable roots overlaid onto the immutable image, so it would make sense if the immutable image was sort of the initramfs and was read when root was mounted or something. Your command is probably the correct one for immutable systems.
sudo dracut -f.
mkdir /var/home then symlink /home from that, no? Otherwise, you'll wind up with a home directory that is immutable.

I'm gonna assume your argument is is good faith. You're absolutely correct about all of it. It fucking sucks. But the other side is the the same if not even worse. The reality is that right now the choice is between Harris and Trump. One of those two options will be leading the US next year. Not voting for Harris means Trump will be the leader.
If you want to convince people to stop voting for Harris you need to argue why Trump leading the US next year is a better outcome for Palestine. I haven't been able to find a reason.
They will never negotiate with you, even on genocide, if you vote for them 24/7. Where is the red line?
It took Ronald Reagan one phone call to get them to stop bombing Lebanon.
Margaret Thatcher put a 10-year long arms embargo on them in the 80s.
Modern democrats are worse than Republicans from the 70s.
This can be shown with Biden's draconian crime bill.
his full involvement in the "war on terror".
Kamala ignoring the Supreme Court's decision on releasing nonviolent prisoners after overcrowding, as they were being used for slave labor.
The Marginal tax rate being lower TODAY than it was after Reagan passed his tax cuts.
They will never move to be more progressive if progressives still vote for them.
If you (or anyone else)
Voters are a spectrum. Some number of people in OhStepYellingAtMe's rough demographic either started out less engaged or have a more visceral reaction and won't vote. A reliable Democratic vote being demotivated means an unreliable vote may already be lost. Not threatening to withhold your individual vote doesn't mean comments like this aren't a warning sign.
The argument is that continuing to reward genocidal behavior will never result in the party going left to get your vote. You're demonstrating that they can literally missile strike babies and you'll still vote for them. They don't need to do anything to cater to you at all, but hey maybe they'll throw a bone to your racist uncle and maybe he'll vote for them instead of the ghoul the GOP runs 4 years from now.
Why ever give anything to the left when "look at the other side" always gets you to fall in line? You've completely taken yourself off the board, politically.
A warning sign the Harris campaign has continued to ignore and done nothing to try to win back.
If they think they can win without people who won't vote for genocide, best of luck to them, but they clearly don't want my vote, so I see no reason why I should give it to them.

I dunno. Why is all criticism of Harris/Biden supporting genocide met with "Yeah?! Whatabout Trump?! You want Trump to win?"
Because that's what centrists do when they get criticism about the only policy centrists won't immediately abandon at the slightest pressure.
I can only speak for myself. If the polls are any accurate indication, my fear of Christian Nationalism overthrowing democracy in the United States may soon be realized. They appear neck and neck, so anything that shits on Kamala, I feel like it needs to fall on Trump's head too. After the election, I can shit on Kamala's genocidal dreams without needing to invoke Trump.
The article is about costing her the election on the genocide issue, which is fucked up because voting her down only puts the other pro-genocide in, plus the Christian Nationalists.
If it matters, I'm not a centrist.
Ha, that is not how it will go. Without Trump there will be no existential threat to american democracy to leverage and I'll be surprised if the media does not go dark on it. When people, like yourself try to rally you'll find half the support you depend on was only there because it was election time and the rest will be deaf ears because everyone else would like to go back to their normal lives.
Not saying it's a good thing just the only thing keeping the discussion alive is how much it hurts the dems. It's clearly an attack vector that had been amplified and you thinking your moral stance is what props it up is hubris.
people who won't vote for genocide,
Would you prefer to vote for the candidate who has been calling for a cease fire, or the one that has bent over for Netanyahu in the past and fully plans to do it again?
Because those are the only 2 options available.
I won't be voting for either of the two parties' candidates as long as they remain pro-genocide.
If they want my vote they're more than welcome to come out with a strong stance against genocide.
Pretty low bar. If neither candidate is willing to meet it I can only assume they do not want my vote.
If they don't want my vote they either don't think they need it or they're more committed to genocide than winning the election.
It's their call.
We do if we pay taxes. Our tax money is going to funding a genocide whether we like it or not. But we can also help change the current administration's policies and be part of the resistance, whether small or large, both help.
History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.

Following polls, they would have an upside of about a 6 point boost if they changed on policy. Which is certainly significant with the race as close as it is.

Our first matchup tested a Democrat and a Republican who “both agree with Israel’s current approach to the conflict in Gaza”. In this case, the generic candidates tied 44–44. The second matchup saw the same Republican facing a Democrat supporting “an immediate ceasefire and a halt of military aid and arms sales to Israel”. Interestingly, the Democrat led 49–43, with Independents and 2020 non-voters driving the bulk of this shift.

I call bullshit, you were either never going to vote or never going to vote dem either way.

The options are: genocide or genocide.
Voting anything other than Harris is STILL A VOTE FOR GENOCIDE.
Refusing to vote for Harris will not stop the genocide.
Refusing to vote at all will not stop the genocide.
WE ARE FUCKING BACKED INTO A CORNER.
Sorry, I’ve got to be pragmatic here. I hate it, but protest votes are fucking stupid in this system.
you've missed the entire point. we wouldn't vote for a trump no matter what party. we weigh the good against the the bad and make an informed, imperfect decision.
That's the system we've got. Man, I would love for this election to propel a new third party based on ideal policies into the fray - I REALLY DO - but whining and moaning that you WON'T choose between the two NOW is years too late. And it fucks LGBTQ, women, immigrants, ukraine and so many others over.

It's not "even more people". That is bullcrap. You have the choice between the violence being externalized or fighting it at home. You choose the former. Fuck you.
Democrats already started the second genocide in Lebanon.
And soon a war with Iran.
All the "greater evils" of Trump will have been fulfilled by democrats before Trump even become president
The slaughter of innocent children makes no difference to sociopaths.
If there is one thing this Genocide on its way to Holocaust has shown us. is that the Democrat Party leadership are without a doubt sociopaths of the worst kind: a normal person with the power they have would not be actively helping it by sending the Neue Nazis the very weapons which they know are being used to massacre children.
There really is no other possible conclusion: no normal person would go "yeah but our campaign contributions from the AIPAC are more important than tens of thousands of dead children" or "yeah but the profits of the MIC shareholders are more important than tens of thousands of dead children".
You can chose to dip you hands in the blood of thousands of dead children by activelly rewarding a candidate who is enabling their murder, or you can chose not to.
Given the lack of Democracy in the American system, that means that you either participate hence end up with blood on your hands no matter which of the two electable candidates you vote for or do not participate.The choices of others who do participate are irrelevant for that decision.
Justifying your choice of supporting a enabler of child murder candidate because others might chose the candidate you dislike the most and hence makes you fear for yourself, is not the high moral standpoint you seem to think it is.
Absolutely, it's a though choice. However this preaching you and those like you are doing about "Not voting is a vote for Trump" is not done from the top of a Moral High Horse, it's from the top of the pile of the bloody bones of tens of thousands of murdered children which is still growing, and driven by at best selfish self-preservation not any kind of selfless moral principle.
So spare us the bullshit.

Since Psychopathy and Sociopathy are ranges rather than absolutes, it's estimated that about 4% of humans are Psychopaths or Sociopaths and we're talking about the what's basically the handful of people in a universe of over 300 million who seeks and achieves positions at the top of the Power Duopoly in the US in a domain well know for it's cut-throating and backstabbing, I would say that the odds heavily favour the explanation of them being very high on the Sociopath (or Psychopath) - so called "well adjusted Sociopaths" - spectrum than them being normal people who are "relaxed about personally enabling the murder of tens of thousands of children".
The image of a Sociopaths or Psychopath who actively seeks to inflict horrible pain on others for their own pleasure is incredibly atypical and Hollywoodesque - being high on those scales just means having no empathy for others, including their suffering or joy, and the result is that a Sociopath or Psychopath simply does that which they think is better for themselves and they can get away with (they care about the consequences for themselves, not for others), with absolutely no consideration for how that makes others feel, hence harm or even death of others is fine since that has the same emotional resonance for them as breaking an inanimate object.

I'll vote for someone who is vocally and demonstrably anti-genocide. If that's neither of the main parties' candidates that's their problem.
I will not vote for genocide.
I imagine we can agree no American president has been ideal? Some of the presidents who have given us the most progress in important areas like welfare, civil rights, and environmental protections have also been war criminals. Roosevelt, Kennedy/LBJ, Obama, etc. Imagine where we'd be if no one voted for the lesser evil in those elections, held firm and didn't vote for the president who would set up concentration camps, or keep us in wars in Asia and the middle east.
Throwing away your vote got us presidents like GWB and Trump. Stalled progress for decades. Evil supreme court justices. In fact, the most underrated job of the president is picking supreme court justices, since the court has made itself the single most powerful institution in the country.
How about you vote for the most potential for progress?
I'd rather have a president who's anti-genocide, so I'll be voting for one of the anti-genocide candidates.
You're okay with voting for genocide. I'm not.
Israel is being the very opposite of a force for stability in the region, which isn’t going to help the Petro-Dollar.
Israel being a destabilizing force gives the US leverage over the oil rich nations of the region. That’s why Israel is important for the petrodollar. I’m also not sure the US currently has a way to maintain its global economic dominance without the petrodollar. That’s in part why I think you see the US doubling down on support for Israel even in a context where doing so is increasingly risky.
It's a race to the end of the month. Can we reach voting day while keeping a lid on discontent with the genocide?
They're pretty clearly locked in on that. What you might see is a declaration a couple days before if her team figures they're losing and they need a desperate play.
I understand that you have principles. I have principles too. But it sounds like your principles are at least partly based on a personal purity, which is what I'm arguing against.
The idea that by voting for kamala, you'll be personally tainted by her actions. And that by not voting at all, you avoid this taint.
There's a good argument in my opinion for not voting if you actually believe it will lead to the best outcome. Like for example that if enough people don't vote it will cause our leader/parties/etc to do something better. I just don't think this is true. And if it's not true, what remains is a purity argument, which I find selfish, since it prioritizes your internal view of yourself over what happens to other people in the world.
I'm also absolutely in favor of third party candidates that push issues and the electorate to the left. I just think that generally they should drop out at the point when it becomes clear that they aren't going to win and endorse the person closest to them on the issues.
If Kamala loses, Trump wins. Do you want Kamala or Trump to win.
Kamala. When she wins, what will be your new excuse to forbid all criticism of the genocide?
If you’re actively trying to steer people away from voting for the lesser of two evils,
I'm not. I've never said the people should vote for anyone other than Harris. If Harris abandons her support for genocide, how many centrists do you think will immediately switch to Trump?

You're correct, we do. We all assist the operation of this war machine. It may not be in our control, but that does not nullify it. We bloody our hands to live instead of choosing to die, and we are all culpable to an extent for it. Some more than others, though.

35+ years later I think I did well enough to accomplish that.
My son is currently in the same boat, he's gone to check out (talk to counselors , look for housing, and jobs) and will be transferring his school in the spring for his final year, and has a job lined up at the beginning of the year (with housing) until classes start.
He's back home until then helping out in our place.
On another note, the anxiety and stress about the existential dread of working until you die is going to be there and my only advice is my experience in breaking up my short term goals- I only have to survive X years here doing this and then go to college, then another X years there , then X year in each position until I reached a "sustainable" place/salary with a partner and kids at this point to be witnesses to my (many failures) shenanigans.
I say X years because sometimes it was years, sometimes months. For example I signed up for 4 years in the Air Force, but that was broken down into 2 months basic, 2 months training school, 2 years overseas base, 1.5 years US base with a 8 month temporary duty overseas again...each part was shitty, but less shitty than the time before and in some interesting places.
I guess what I'm trying to TLDR is that if you break up your early life I to smaller achievable goals it will help you get to where you can have a life.
Now housing and pay is another story that, man....good fucking luck and know you have most (some?) of us Gen Xrs cheering you on.
Everyone, throughout the history of humanity, has had to put forth effort to stay alive. Except for a rare few.
Why do we expect anything different today?

I'm actually on this man's side.
The idea-stealing he talks about is not unheard of, and multiple people or groups coming up with similar ideas at the same time by looking at market trends is actually quite common.
If you also look at the fact that he has evidence for pretty much all his claims,
AND
He has gotten the domain and has evidence for the ideas and ownership of "Open AI" before Altman's "OpenAI" was formed
AND
He says a lot of his ideas never came to fruition because he couldn't get funding but the one thing he didn't need crazy funding for, investing in Bitcoin when it was $10 per coin, is something he ends up doing and leaves him well-off.
All that to me is enough evidence that this man is one hell of an unlucky individual.
And as such, I believe him.
Not necessarily. A lot of the harms disappear when everything goes open, which is what this person stands for, and what OpenAI was supposed to stand for.
Open LLM + Open Training Data = Open AI
Copyright and IP concerns disappear with an open dataset.
Open models are inherently more trustworthy because of an obvious reduction in vendor lock-in.
Copyright and IP concerns disappear with an open dataset.
i don't think i'd agree with that, doesn't matter if dataset goes open if content went there without consideration for authors
also even things like thispersondoesnotexist were used to mass-create fake identities and such
What this show is a total lack of originality.
AI is not new. Open-source is not new. Putting two well known concepts together wasn't new either because... AI has historically been open. A lot of the cutting edge research is done in public laboratories, with public funding, and is published in journals (sadly often behind paywall but still).
So the name and the concept are both unoriginal.
A lot of the popularity gained from OpenAI by using a chatbot is not new either. Relying on always larger dataset and benefiting from Moore's law is not new either.
So I'm not standing on any side, neither this person nor the corporation.
I find that claiming to be "owning" common ideas is destructive for most.
