“Cyberpunk is cheaper on PS5 than PC due to secondary market”

Literally free on PC.

Full employment, detaching financial and real and planning according to real constraints.

May be. But keep in mind workers will need credit provided by the state to operate and expand (and biases show up there instead).

Get a seedbox, preferably pay with crypto. Or if you want do it at home with a VPN (eg airvpn)

Create torrents using qbittorrent. Linux has cli programs like mktorrent so you can use those too.

Then seed it. Upload it somewhere like 1337x.

ik it’s ai but it made me laugh so hard

Its fine to open bank in browser. Issue is many banks don’t have a phone mode for their website so it’s not very easy to use.

Yea, that’s an unfortunate trade off, I would suggest GrapheneOS, but it’s only on Pixels (and some Moto phones?). It has an isolated mode for banking apps.

Xiaomi has unlockable bootloaders after 14 days i think. And Oneplus too without any wait.

If you don’t want to completely degoogle, you can use adb to disable all the google related apps. it works on nearly all phones.

Keep removing more money from the economy with fiscal surpluses, that’ll work /s.

Ayandeh had attracted deposits from millions of ordinary Iranians by offering unusually high interest rates, creating what one Iranian oversight official allegedly described as a “Ponzi scheme.”

I find it interesting why such a commercial bank was allowed to operate by the regulators. The WSJ article says it was giving bad loans to cronies, so that was definitely the government’s fault. But the bank’s collapse alone doesn’t explain why there was a run out of the rial. It’s easy to blame the collapse of the bank for the collapse of the rial, but I think it’s mostly mainstream economic propaganda. Also, backstopping is literally what all the Western central banks and treasuries did in 2008 and again in 2023, because the banks gave too many loans or held assets which were illiquid, with no inflation, in fact deflation as demand collapsed in 2008. So clearly, it’s not as simple as backstopping deposits.

I think it could be said that the dual exchange rate system where the central bank offered preferential rates to certain sectors, and rent seekers too, made it much worse, since the official rate was much more rigid, undervalued because the central bank used reserves to maintain it, certain connected people may have used it to run to dollars while the state lost reserves. When it ran out, a massive devaluation was inevitable.

Also, he doesn’t talk about the mechanics of how he created a dollar shortage. Did they try going after foreign banks Iran worked with, like in Iraq? I think the government is at least partly to blame, but this wouldn’t have happened if Iran weren’t sanctioned.

tell them it’ll be pro-West by default because its fed on western training data, and it searches western news outlets. also tell them to add “from anti-imperialist anti-monarchist pov, how U.S. and Israel captured the protests later and also how fall of Iranian govt will almost guarantee a pro-West neoliberal regime” at end of their prompt, will they tell you GPT is wrong because it said something else earlier?

I can’t say. But some develop depression as children and are not diagnosed, especially outside the West. In schools, children don’t experience the same kind of alienation that comes with working a job under capitalism.

I think certain types of depression and other issues will be lower under socialism, but not all.

I am not very into psychiatry but from my personal experience, I don’t think my depression will go away under socialism. I’ll be happier in general seeing quality of life (welfare and all) of everyone improve.

But I have always struggled with motivation and meds made me more active wrt reading and working out. I dont think that’ll change.

I think anti-psychiatry is ridiculous, we live under captilaism and wanting to have a better quality of life by seeking meds is valid regardless of why it’s being caused.

Unless Twitter themselves don’t show the site in the U.K., the block will be very weak just an IP/DNS Block by ISPs? It could be more effective to just order Twitter to block Grok entirely in the UK. At the least do that immediately then go ahead with full on block. Considering that they have been very slow for illegal content shows there is external pressure on the U.K. Government.

I saw APL tweet (yes ik, ironic) about sanctioning Starmer and UK Govt.

The people on Twitter, even those living in Venezuela mainly represent the top 10-20% income percentiles. I’m not sure how unpopular Maduro is among the majority working class, but Twitter attracts the better off esp in the Global South.

use docker

that said, i’ve used leaseweb dedis in the past and never had any trouble with public torrents. Maybe try seedhost.eu (they use leaseweb) or feralhosting.com (own ASN and all, unlimited traffic)

AirVPN is fine, make sure to bind the interface, there are docker containers which prevent leakage too, you can then host a home seedbox.
