if you mute ads on Spotify they pause the ad.

Usually most sane people go “Hunger is used to extract labour from people so rich people can make money, so we should change this state of affairs” not “this is good and how we should continue, in an evil usually the preserve of 19th century British Imperial officials.”

Isn’t this what Anarchists and other Anti-capitalists have been saying for well over 100 years? That despite having the ability for abundance, we use scarcity to extract labour from people to make rich fuckers money?

How people who say we need to ban cycling because “I can’t take a sofa on a bike” think they and everyone else drives on a daily basis.

Hmmmmmmm, do not like that. do not like that one bit.

I mean unless Mozilla starts getting sued by Ad companies to force them to ban ad blockers, I don’t think that will happen because being able to have ad blockers is a major selling point.

But even if it does happen, Firefox is open source and has been forked, so the next alternative is LibreWolf.

This. Straight up this. Just fucking use Linux, it’s ready for casual everyday use.

If you eat a battered macaroni pie in a roll and down it with Irn Bru, Highland Cathedral will start playing out of nowhere.

State fair’s only around for one time a year, my local chippy is open all year around.

I live in Scotland, our chip shops do deep fried battered pizza. Get on our levels.

But at the same time generalized artificial intelligence is very likely possible and will be an absolute game-changer if and when it happens. It’s easily of similar value to fusion technology.

The “AI” we have now is basically advanced Autocomplete.

You joke but today Curries are one of the most popular takeaway options in the UK. Only took us til after decolonisation.

Fuckin’ hell, investors don’t know shit about the shit they are investing in do they, if all you need to do is slap some bullshit buzzwords on it and they’ll suck your dick.

Yeah it’s not the Porn companies I’m worried about, it’s the companies the porn companies use to store the data. Even if they don’t leak it, someone can will break in, either a bad actor or the government themselves because, let’s be frank, having a list of porn users and what porn they watch is going to be irresistible if they want to spark a scandal based around, say, rival politicians or activists.

The core tenant of every form of Communism, regardless of if said party or organisation follows it, is as follows: that the means of production should belong to the workers who work them. If the means of production are not in the hands of the workers, then they are not communist. If they are in the hands of a CEO or a corporation, you have private capitalism or market capitalis like the US. If you put them in the hands of a state, they are in the state, you get state capitalism ala China or the USSR.

The power structure of the state protects an upper class, be it billionaires or “the party”. If you abolish the state, but not capitalism, capitalism will rebuild the state (which is why Anarcho capitalism fails every time) and vice versa (which is what happens with Marxist Leninism).

For a Communist or communalist society to work it needs to be Anarchist or classically Libertarian (aka like Bakunin or Kropotkin proposed, not “money first”). It needs to have a horizontal and democratic decision making process that is decentralised, federated, and involves all the members of the community or communities effected. If there is to be a state, it should be to facilitate the colaboration of communities in a bottom up manner. These are the features of almost every single effective or successful Anarchist or Socialist movements from Rojava or the Zapatistas, as well as non-political movements like the Open Source Movement, railway preservatiion movement, and even the early RNLI.

The power structure thant would forbid a free market would be the collective weight of everyone else rather than a state that, sooner or later, becomes the jackboot of capital.
