You misquote me -.-

In the mentioned post i was giving examples of verifiable and falsefiable claims.

The point is that those are statements which (given enough time and info) can be proben right of wrong, while statements like “Einstein was wrong” “stalin was right” are not, because they are too broad and don’t have a definitive and absolute binary “true” or “false” category.

This discussion is a waste of time

Ok… Not me

No?

Edit: don’t see your point. Its not like I am citing Donald trump…

Even in Germany (one of the most pro Israel countries in the eu) there are daily demonstrations against the Gaza genocide And the government continues to crack down on it, while supporting the genocide unabated.

Yeah cause the working class living in a country and the people in power are totally the same thing. If the government cracks down on protests it must mean that the people protesting must agree with there government /s

Whack argument

the international court has issued sanctions against Israel,

No it hasn’t. You’re just straight up lying, lol.

First: https://www.icj-cij.org/case/196 Second: if someone says something you don’t agree with the MUST be lying. There is no such thing as having different sources or being mistaken - all people are always acting in bad faith, you are the only good person on the planet /s

planes are flying meds and food to Gaza…

No they aren’t! Why are you just straight up lying!

https://www.zdfheute.de/politik/ausland/luftbruecke-gaza-bundeswehr-israel-nahost-100.html

Yeah sure, again I must be lying with bad intentions, can’t be that your not informed properly - must be me acting in bad faith

Have you ever been to Europe?

Have you been to Gaza? Ooooh wait, they aren’t human like people in Europe, so they don’t matter.

You call me out for lazy shittalk (point given) And than to this, your so clearly better, just don’t answer questions, don’t offer sources, verbal abuse people disagreeing with you and assuming they hate people - you are such a knight in white armor

I wasn’t to Gaza, I’ve only watched primary sources who were (al jazira, jung & naiv, bbc, etc.) but at least I don’t think I can look into their heads like you do with Europeans.

You will not catch me saying “people in Gaza just don’t think Israels are not humans” While you do exactly that with Europeans.

Arguing with people on hexvear and ml is always such a waste of time -.-

Yeah have at it.

That’s exactly my point. People see their own system is bad, they check that china/real existing socialism is regarded as the opposite to the system they consider bad - they have valid points but also pink-red glasses which makes them overlook problems.

My point is, that we have 3 world powers, China, us and Russia, and ALL of them act in hegemonial fashion.

Yes, us is currently the worst, but NONE of them fight for the working class, ALL of them fight to keep the ones rich, who are rich and the ones powerful, which are powerful in their respective system.

If you consider yourself Marxist Leninist, may read a little more Marx and a little less Lenin. What China does is NOT what Marx sees as communist, it doesn’t even hold up to his imagination of socialism.

Thanks :) Sometimes gendering in foreign languages is still hard for me

I don’t see reason to demonize people at all not Americans not Chinese.

We should be in solidarity with everyone from the working class, no matter his or her place of birth.

Fighting for the working class always means fighting against oppressors.

In the historical period we live in us is the worst of them, but that doesn’t make other ones good.

Freedom of minorities, press, and assembly are under atack nearly everywhere, in the us in the EU, in China and in Russia - but those are tools the working class needs to build a better system.

Bravo, you checked that the us government system has major flaws, may critically look at there enemies, for they are not even close to the ideals they pretend following.

Demonizing doesn’t help, but idolizing also doesn’t.

May try to fight for the people, not for the powerfull.

There is no system existing on this planet at the moment which will do that for you. Simping for one or the other oppressor doesn’t cut it, even if some are better then others, you need to fight for the people, not the powerful.

The PRC is the better system. […] Moreover, it is usually non-westerners that are pro-China,

May I ask where your from?

You have no reason to reduce the logic of why one would support the PRC down to simply being “anti-west,” if you ask anyone pro-China about why they are, we can give you nuanced and complete reasoning for doing so. By caricaturing the argument of those you disagree with, you quite literally strawman them.

The comment I replied to litterally reduced their support of China to being anti-western opression and implies those are the same thing.

Not a strawman at all

Hahaha you have so utterly and totally lost connection to reality…

Even in Germany (one of the most pro Israel countries in the eu) there are daily demonstrations against the Gaza genocide, the international court has issued sanctions against Israel, planes are flying meds and food to Gaza…

Have you ever been to Europe?

Have you ever talked with people there?

USA isn’t imperialist anymore, they are clearly facist.

Eu is far from good, but also not facist yet. Even Hungary and Italy, which are clearly the worst in the EU are not even close to the shitshow of us Since 2016.

Eu still has international rights, EU still has right for asylum EU still has free speech, EU still has sent have kidnappings by state actors, EU still has freedom of press, EU still acknowledges climate change and tries to fight it.

Do I think EU is good? No! Do I think they do enough to protect those things? No! Do I think one should fight for the EU or defend it? No!

Do I think anyone saying EU and murica are just as bad has a smooth brain and clearly never watched news fr 10years? Yes!

Saying facism is the same as capitalism doesn’t acknowledge the new quality the system has.

Its like saying there is no difference between Marx, Stalin and Kim jong un, because they are all socialists and depend on cultural hegemony.

You only seeing black and white and no grey proves my point…

I am so baffled since years that (mostly) americans think if you are against us (or its imperialism) u automatically need to be pro China and vice versa. I really can’t get why you guys always need to bootlick one or the other government. Why can’t you not fight for a better system, why do u always fight for a better oppressor?!

Really grinds my gears.

Who thinks the EU is AS Bad AS the current USA is completly disconnected from the reality imho.

Apparently posting distrust in OPs honest intentions ist not only against rule one (uncivil) but also against rule two (repost) even though i never participated in any discussion about that topic ^^

For testing try the live USB sticks Just flash them to an empty stick with programs like etcher, then power dowb and select the stick in your bios (usually reachable by hammering f1, f2 or Del while starting

(Remember that performance will be much better when installing it for real compared tusing running it from a stick though)

Dual boot will work and is not that hard to setup, but you should back up all your data before trying it.

Also when dual booting to avoid duplicates etc I have all my documents and stuff on a USB stick, so I don’t have a version in my win and a version iny linux. Cloud works as well

Yes, ez one (if you have installed operating systems before and know how to paste an error passage into google ) -4hours and your done start to finish. (Given you have standard hardware and don’t want to set up something crazy like dual boot with raid and nas)

Moderate complexity if you have never done anything like that, plan 2-6 evenings to get it fully working with everything you need

Also: consider your scopes. For most cases Linux will just work, you just have to get used to some different interfaces.

BUT: some things will not run under linux no matter how hard you try --> google if stuff you can’t live without will work

(for me I still have a dual boot windows for playing league of legends and running my vive wireless adapter, as those will not run under Linux.

For games use protonDB

I may be oldschool, but for people not comfortable around terminals I would suggest Debian KDE as it never breaks and the transition from windows is easy. You can do everything from GUI (clicky button interfaces)

For the installation of steam you might need a terminal, but there are good guides online (and you really dont need to be a wizard for that) from where you can just copy paste (when searching just add your distro e.g. “install steam Debian”, and once you’ve got that running you can just run every game from within steam.

Since Steam has done a lot of work with proton, most games just run under Linux. In steam: Install–>play

For nearly all games not directly running, you can just force them to run with proton. It will say: “Game not compatible” in steam, you just click the gear icon on the right to open settings, go to “compatibilty” and tick “force use of compatibility layer” and select the newest proton from the drop down

The button where steam previously said “not compatible” magically turns into the blue “install” button we all know and love. And nearly all games run with only minor inconveniences (like showing keyboard hotkeys even when playing with a gamepad) or no issues at all.

You need to be aware that some games using kernel level anticheat (e.g. league of legends, valorant) can not and will never run on Linux, if the developers of the games don’t add the possibility.

EDIT: for programs not related to gaming its often easier to use an alternative, if the program is not available for Linux. Most times its also more privacy foccused, open source and free

Installiert twrp then lineage for your device. Usually there is a guide with the packet on the lineage Website.

If not officialy supported you need to pray someone on xda tinkered a Version together

How about being against Imperialists as well as fascists but not calling an attempt to divide the working class by skin color in some f*ed up version of positive racism “based”? Ever heard of the concept of international solidarity?

Most smart home devices are actually not that smart. They are simply a switch with wifi, which logs in to your local wifi and shouts “HERE I AM, I HAVE TWO MODES, YOU CANSWITCH BETWEEN THOSE” into the ether.

Reasons to have a hub are:

1. Not having to open the website of every single device or send a command from the command line if you want to use it, but rather have one place which registerss all devices and bundles them up to serve you in a nice web interface or app.

2. Have more advanced/intercinnected functions (not only: send “up” to the blinds device but send “up” to the blinds device, if the time device says its later then 8:00 and the daylight sensor device senses dalight.

3. Some hubs have security features, like claiming the device and establishing a password, so not everyone in you WiFi can do everything.

4. Good ones act like a protective layer from you to the outside internet (esps and most smart home devices are simple devices, which are rather unsecure and where you don’t know which code is running (your Chinese security camera might not only send pictures to you but also to China, and you would not knowbif its connected to the internet directly). So you can only allow connections to the hub, and if you have an open source hub like HomeAssistant, you could be rather certain stuff like this will not happen as easily.

5. Do all the heavy lifting with more CPU power (user and password login, updates, scripts, voice recognition if you want stuff like this, keeping date and time recently updated, merge (in the case of HomeAssitant) different protocols (like iqtt, phillipsHUE, ZigBee, etc. Pp.) Into one coherent system.

Some other things also, and that being said: it is literally the device controlling your entire house and privacy, so get one you trust, preferable an open source one where you don’t have to accept agbs to give up all rights to Samsung or so.
