giwtwm so fucking much T.T my mid-late teens might have actually been good then…

I can rly recommend it, especially with Nicotine+

Antennapod has the same function and many more, and is free(as in beer and freedom)/libre

I can rly recommend it since it doesn’t lock features behind a paywall and respects your privacy

That’s what the work profile on your personal phone is for, so you can turn it off when you’re off the clock (or rather if you don’t get paid to be alert)

Does it still work? I thought deez days were over

I just moved to Soulseek/Nicotine+

I can’t believe that the soviets didn’t just vote Hitler out of office smh

love the technobabble

not rly, you don’t have studio level funding if you don’t optimize (the content) for revenue. same with large/aaa level games

edit: according to George Lucas, filmmakers in the USSR had more artistic freedom than he had when making Star Wars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWqvaMEFIdI

A few (good and one time buy) games off the top of my head (is that how you use the expression/idiom?):

Obviously commie games:

• Disco Elysium
• Cruelty Squad

Might or might not be commie, but definitely progressive:

• Bioshock series

honourable mentions:

• Vitoria 3 (who would have thought that a democratically controlled and publicly owned economy would be meta? does have a nasty dlc policy tho)
• Partisans 1941 (you play the story of soviet partisans on the eastern front, what more is there to say?)
• everything from the studio “Kremlingames” (they make political sims about eastern block countries, without glorifying them)
• Workers & Resources: Soviet Republic (eastern block “City: Skylines”)
• VA-11 Hall-A (good vn in a cyberpunk dystopia, does not rly have a political theme tho iirc)

If you and your co-workers cut out the middle man…

The thing is: just owning the means for someone elses work is not a service you provide to others (ie. employment). That whole position (the private ownership of the means of others work) is redundant and leeches off of society

That’s why it makes me livid when landbastards talk about “passive income”… it’s just extorting money from working ppl (who actually create value) for the “privilege” of having one’s basic needs met

not rly, market machinations force co-ops to behave like for-profit capitalist companies regardless. The hell of capitalism is the firm, not the fact that it has a boss. Even if you have great conditions as a worker-owner, your privilege is just built on the backs of non-owner (aka. 2nd class) workers and outsourcing (see Mondragon in Spain for example)

Don’t get me wrong though: co-ops are still virtually always better than “standard” corporations imo. What I mean to say is that the systemic problem of capitalism is not solvable by just creating companies “of a new type”

You have drawn a good lot it seems. Tho no matter how pleasant the job, you still create more value for your boss than you get paid back by them… (value extraction for profit lessss goooo)

Lmao, I don’t think they enjoy whidespread corporate usage tho. Also Excel is pretty much a synonym for spreadsheets in general at this point

I’m sorry, how could I forget? smh 😔
