So I've read Post Civ by Strangers In a Tangled Wilderness. It seems interesting and could probably be better than Anti-Civ or primitivist ideologies (for those who don't know Post-Civ just wants to remove civilization but keep modern technology, unlike primitivists). I like how it's basically for the adventure minded person, and maybe we could be more self-reliant if we start creatively finding use for scrap and broken parts. But I'm still skeptical on how feasible it would be. It still seems like an ideology for someone who plays too many open-world games.

I just wish that the writing wasn't short. They could've refuted common talking points from primitivists and anarchists who still want to preserve civilization but it doesn't. There also doesn't seem to be many other Post-Civ writings out there.

And before any RWer calls me out for linking to an article on The Anarchist Library, Post-Civs reject leftist talking points.

@rasterman Useful skills that kids can learn but don't teach at schools (or only, optionally teach in high school at a basic level):
* Repairing stuff
* Woodcrafting
* Leathercrafting
* Welding
* Soldering
* Gardening and raising animals
* Hunting (or how to fire a gun)
* Fishing

These skills can be taught at a young age by parents or other mentors and if you are good enough, you can use them to start your own small business. Schools on the other hand either teach you useless shit like history, or stuff that you can easily learn on your own like your own native language or math. In fact, school probably conditions children to hate learning. Children are naturally curious they want to learn, but school makes learning feel like prison.

@SeaTree Pretty much every country has fake elections. It's not just a China thing.

>/leftypol/ is a board for far-leftists who are against idpol

Bullshit. I see plenty of anons with AnFem and AnQueer flags on there and threads complaining about the rise of transphobia and anti-feminism.

Chromebooks foisted on students? Teachers monitoring what children do outside of the classroom via nonfree software? Surveillance of children is common, and it's at your child's school, too. Support #FreeSoftware u.fsf.org/32h

@KryptoBlok @djsumdog @galena I liked Eso because he seemed to be able to thoroughly refute common marxist, socialist, and statist talking points, but I was only peripherally aware of the drama between him an Mr. Dapperton, or his previous YouTube presence as "Midnight Fantom" where he was a very cringe YouTube ranter. I also didn't like how he and Filthy Heretic had knee-jerk reactions to anything related to Hans Herman Hoppe.

As more and more people check out of their system eventually we will start to build our own parallel structures. It will probably take quite a while and be full of many embarrassing fuck ups, but ultimately when no one likes or believes in these people it will get easier

Phoronix recently benchmarked the StarFive VisionFive 2 SBC. It's a RISC-V system that is on the cheaper side. I am always happy to see more RISC-V systems regardless of how well they do at the moment. Hopefully more optimizations and work can help it improve down the road.


The benchmark is here:

The SBC itself can be found on Amazon:

yet another one of my friends joined the fediverse and yet another friend can't communicate with me because of the goddamn #rainbowcurtain

they probably will abandon the fediverse since they have no one to talk to

Alright, he is a recording with actual sound this time.

And somehow they didn't show up in my recordings, despite me unmuting the desktop audio.
