I recently retired my hand me down gaming PC because of overheating problems and cannibalized it to build up another SFF PC I got. I have a new graphics card coming (certainly not a recently released card) so I can play some of the games I like to play so I’ll be back on PC gaming soon. It’s a dual boot setup and the main reason I keep windows is for ham radio programs and fallout 🥴

People pay good money for that when their color is called!

I think that would be awesome, I’m still learning a lot and that could be helpful.

I do also believe that my understanding of communism and my place in it calls for a lot more interpersonal connections than I cultivate 🥴

I’ve been messing with bard a little seeing what questions it will answer and how those answers line up with what I’ve been learning from lately and how I’ve been fed a steady diet of propaganda in US schools… And it’s easy to see from the questions I’ve asked that it SEEMS to have been trained on a good bit of factual info but clearly from the lens of “liberal democracy=good” even as far as acknowledging that many conflicts in my life, if asked about the situations, as I’ve come to understand them, that happened initially destabilizing certain areas, had “fear of communism” high in the list of reasons. Obviously it’s a program trained on certain information, and with guardrails installed. If asked about how much devastation the US has caused related to fearing communism it will talk about that, but if you ask for example “why has the US supported fascists” I got a road block and it stopped answering lmao.

Obviously just anecdotal about me playing with an existing program, and I’d love to see one trained on a large variety of different leftist theory and writings. It would still need to be used with the broad understanding that in the end, it’s just a program that takes input and processes it and spits some info out, and shouldn’t be trusted more than pointing us in directions for more study.

From what I’ve been reading and creators I’ve watched, (you can dump on that if you want, I’m working on learning from a lot of different angles) anarchists have a lot to offer to revolutions and the process, but as I understand it where we as communists differ is how we view centralism.

Whereas during revolution tactical anarchism is a big strength as separation but it has to have centralized goals, aims, and general guardrails. And once the revolution has began rolling, government being established and whatnot, the balance of bottom up for governance and top down for protection of rights and services becomes a lot more important.

I could be way off but my understanding is that a good portion of anarchists are comrades that have witnessed what liberal governments have done and are destroying and with their information decided that governments are not to be trusted, and also lack an understanding of theory.

But to the thing I’m actually replying to 🤣 I’ll ride with the rest of us and see how it goes

Well I’m not helping much, just lurking with a few comments. Hell yeah go us

Shut up, I don’t have a gir shirt… You’re making shit up

“what kind of damn name is Charles for a ca… Oh. Yeah that’s Charles right there”

In the belly of the beast it’s even easier once one actually looks into things and stops gulping down the Patriotism™ propaganda

I’d like to get my hands on a good Huawei device. I’m pretty deep in the G ecosystem but it wouldn’t be the worst idea to use a device with a different baseband chip as has been stated. I just recently got my pixel 6 though 😩 I do plan on searching out a different type of device next time I upgrade though

I’m absolutely familiar with lineage and years ago cyanogenmod, I was always a fan. But oh my goodness last time I was playing with lineage was right when they were switching over, back in my OnePlus One says.
