Oh looks, another example of the meme right here.

besbin@lemmy.mlto Videos@lemmy.ml•You Are Witnessing the Death of American Capitalism - Benn Jordan242·3 months agoFirstly, capital is still owned privately and the capitalists who have capital still dominate everything so that have not changed. Secondly, when have “everyone” been owning capital in America? The wealth of America have been concentrated in the hand of a small oligarch of capitalist since day one and that also have not changed. So the whole notion of capitalism ending is just delusional. That’s also some highly misleading definition of capitalism that’s entirely outside what Marx and other communist have defined. “Capitalism” is when the people have capital? What a joke 🤣
besbin@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some things that absolutely should NOT be recycled?2·11 months agoThat’s only half the story they told you. After you dice, grind and melt the original material. You have to use some virgin materials as binder to get all that stuff together. The amount of virgin materials can sometimes surpass even the amount of old stuff and render the whole recycling process moot for those nasty material. That’s why you should have better just burn them all in a furnace or just bury them back in the ground where they belong.
besbin@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Android users, what's stopping you from switching to an iPhone?9·11 months agoNot having a functioning browser. And no, it’s not Chrome. Why would you want to use an ads pushing piece of garbage?
besbin@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the cheapest thing you had bought that by the end of its usefulness made you say "wow, this was worth a lot more than what I've paid for!"23·11 months agoI grew up in a third world country and one of the first gift my immigrant relatives got for my parents was a microwave oven. That was way back in the early 90s when almost nobody in my country knew what a microwave oven was. The same microwave had been going strong for more than 30 years before the buttons finally broke last year. All for around $200 back in the day.
First Gen immigrant here. Credit card obtainment is itself not that hard if you already have guardians or sponsors who are willing to cosign your paperworks. If you don’t even have that then it would have been impossible for you to even legally get into this sh*t hole to begin with so I have no idea why you said it was hard.
The hard part is getting a credit line as high as 100k without a stable income and high credit score. Even many US citizens I known don’t even have close to that numbers in all their accounts combined fresh out of college. The conman in the post either already have rich relatives who are paying it back or must have lost even more cash withdrawn from China to bankroll his “scam”
Lastly, regardless of how you spent that money, it’s still entrapped inside the US economy and thus not enrich his own country at all. Unless they bought gold or cash back to China, of course
Doesn’t seems to be an official ban. My friends in Vietnam are still able to access Steam just an hour ago. This is most likely a situation like those manga websites black listed by Comcast or AT&T DNS.
At this point a case need to be hundred of “b” to be more than cost of doing business for Apple. The ‘m’ fine are just rounding errors
besbin@lemmy.mlto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is something the world would be better without?276·1 year agoCars. Or at least infrastructure systems that’s entirely built just for cars.
besbin@lemmy.mlto Gaming@lemmy.ml•Warner Bros. Discovery Shuts Down Rooster Teeth After 21 Years5·1 year agoThe IP and character designs are probably the only thing that’s worth saving. Everything else from writing, world building to even power systems have been a complete mess.
besbin@lemmy.mlto Books@lemmy.ml•Fanfiction Community Rocked By Etsy Sellers Turning Their Work Into Bound Books6·1 year agoI kinda understand the pain of those fanfic writers who sent time to write those stories. But book printing and binding for small numbers of print is really expensive. And I’m sure a lot of book lovers would love to have physical versions of their favorite works. So I am sure the situation will continue until things change in the publishing industry.
besbin@lemmy.mlto Technology@lemmy.ml•Reddit Advised to Target at Least $5 Billion Valuation in IPO31·1 year agoWhatever already existed won’t be thrown away regardless of the ruling. It’s like throwing all the gold already dug up just because it was done by slave labor. The law and legal actions are mostly just a moat around the pile of gold already dug up. Sure AI companies will have to pay more for the new data from other sources. However that would be peanut compared to how much they will have to pay starting from zero.
You probably should draw a down vote next to the mirror then
Most people I know who use Linux wouldn’t trust Cloud services cause that’s just storing your stuff on somebody else machine. You can self hosted service like Next cloud on a raspberry pi or just get comfortable with networking enough to setup VPN and ssh into your home computer from the net to get your stuff.
besbin@lemmy.mlto Programmer Humor@lemmy.ml•Today i installed arch linux for the first timeEnglish11·2 years agowith how contentious Red Hat and Canonical decisions have been lately, the mid panel should have Arch and Debian replacing Ubuntu and Fedora.
he doesn’t even have the gut to post his own country name cause he knows people will tear away the farcade of bullshit of his successful social democrat country.
Oh! So you are just a Western colonist who spread the patronizing arrogance propaganda your “leftist” westerner compatriots are slopping up. The wall is that way, go face it!
