Welcome again to everybody. Make yourselves at home. In the time-honoured tradition of our group, here is the weekly discussion thread.
☭ Matrix homeserver and space
☭ Theory discussion group on /c/theory@lemmygrad.ml
☭ Find theory on ProleWiki, marxists.org, Anna’s Archive
I went to visit Chethams library in Manchester because Marx and Engels used to study there and their study corner is still there. I expected to be probably the only one hyped for it (it is a 70 min tour of lots of things after all) but multiple people nearly RAN to the booth as soon as we saw it lol. They had books on Engles for sale as well and they were all gone after the tour. Sometimes I’m surprised to see other commies in the wild.
communists are returning to libraries; nature is healing 💙
I hope we have more libraries in the United States

I may actually want a subscription of Kimi now…

I tried writing about what I learned reading Capital vol II, check it out here: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/12264322
I hope that the web gets to the point where LaTeX or PDFs aren’t needed anymore. Problem is that it’s so annoying to set up html for print.
ODT documents are like halfway there but I still feel they aren’t enough.
The web being full of liberals is never a great thing but at least it usually doesn’t prevent me for watching entertainment videos. For some reasons though I have encountered quite a lot of videos with crazy claims in the last two days. Your typical “communism requires following a leader without questioning them” or “Stalin committed atrocities” or “Cuba is a dictatorship” and I even got a bit of “Sweden is true socialism” and “people in Finland are happier than in China, therefore the Finnish system is better.”
I have no idea how this happened, I wasn’t even watching anything overtly political, but it was a bit infuriating.
What do you do when you are in a bad mood comrades? Me, I like to write stuff.Doesn’t Finland have a significant suicide rate? And also a lot of Neo-Nazis?
Anyway, social media platforms seem to tend to form a balance between ragebait recommendations and normal recommendations to get you to spend as much time in them as possible. If you follow a lot of things the solution is RSS. If you stick to a few corporate platforms anyway the solution is third party clients that filter out the algorithmic stuff if possible.
I try to distract myself when I’m in a bad mood. Mainly play video games while listening to some podcast. Neurotypicals may struggle with doing both at the same time, or maybe not, I don’t know.
That’s just how Western platforms work, anticommunist content will always be promoted, regardless of what you watch. For YouTube, you can use a proxy like inv.nadeko.net to avoid the tracking and “tailored” recommendations, at the expense of stability.
Using a local client is much better. Like PipePipe on Android. It’s not as smooth an experience as it used to be since YouTube sucks, but it’s still preferable to a public Invidious instance in my opinion. Selfhosting a private Invidious instance could be a solution too, I don’t have the money to selfhost stuff so I can’t comment on it though.
Might work if you’re using a VPN to obfuscate traffic (otherwise they’ll obviously track you through third-party clients too), but they can and do ban VPN IP addresses so it won’t always be an option.
Gooood moooorning!!
Getting rid of my Twitter account.

Well, I, uhh, never heard of these before.
May have heard of yewtube but I think I’m confusing it with peertube
Hell yeah! Don’t cry because it happened, smile because it’s over 😌
Thank fuck there are some things that end.
(looking at you, web novels and infinite scroll websites!)
How is everyone doing?
I’ve been wanting to try a mock gov/online pol sim, does anyone know any good ones? I think it’d be fun.
I have wanted to do a MUD since 2002.
…I really should just resurrect my idea for it and implement it…
I don’t know what a MUD is but you should do it! Sounds like fun!
Nobody 'members 😭😭
Old Web 1.0 is DEAD
You should implement it! I know a little bit of coding I could help too if you want
I may also need help with my Internet forum (it’s ready, it just doesn’t have a mod team and, arguably, it may not even have any real distinction or focus to it at this juncture)
ooh you could start a new community on the site so everyone can discuss it further ??
Well, back on the late 1990s and 2000s, forums usually had MUDs
But it’s been a long time now.
A MUD? I’ve never played one but it looks fun
I miss them ;_;
Hi, I’m trying to join the Matrix space, but when i try to join vetting answers, it says ‘Your matrix.to link was malformed’? Help ;~; Edit: I manually typed in the room name and that’s how I joined
What’s a good way to “theoretically” scam businesses? Invoice thing used to work more but since the economy is getting worse they’re starting to actually check them.
“Never invade Russia, you fools.” – Sun Tzu, The Art of War
Scientists wonder if the October Revolution was an example of Russia invading itself or merely a transformation of Russia. Research is ongoing.

I just became aware of this strange video of Putin singing Blubery hill to a crowd including Goldie Hawn, Kevin Costner, Sharon Stone and Kurt Russle and now you too are aware of it.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
