Also, browsing is a nightmare even on "non-app" type pages because of the sizes and number of third-party garbage. If it wasn't for uBlock Origin and uMatrix, I wouldn't be using a browser

Still thankful to @schnittchen for letting me know about uMatrix more than 2 years ago

@amolith@masto.nixnet.xyz I deleted my account on Kraken after it took them 2 months to complete my wire withdrawal. I mean 2 months of almost daily bugging their support.

Yeah, except for Soviet "export of revolution" to neighbouring countries that started in 1919, the Western expansion, including occupation of Baltics, Ukraine, Caucasus and failed attack on Poland there's very little evidence...

@cck "since Russia continues to cooperate militarily with China, this is not very critical"... as long as the cooperation continues ;) Many people in Russia are complaining that China practically owns half of Siberia already.

@lazarski Precisely so - its pragmatism is both cause for cynicism and rent-seeking, but also lack of diehard ideological inflexibility, as it was with Marxism.

In practical aspect it's quite shocking to look at say UK, Russia, UK and Sweden and realise they are all technically capitalist countries, yet they're so different.

religion, subtoot, Christianity

@kravietz That's one of the better bits of what I think of as "St Paul's Blog", and certainly in the Gospel accounts Jesus opposes hierarchy often.

I might point to the opening of John's Gospel as more central to Christianity, or even John 3:16 -- For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

But the crapitalist caricature of Christianity is just that: a caricature.

@artsyhonker The phrase from the Bible that best catches the spirit of Christianity is probably this one:

"There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28)

It's all about abandoning tribalism, because we're all essentially the same. Yet tribalism continues to come back like shit stuck to a shoe, be it left vs right, races, classes or whatever divisions people creatively come up with...

@feoh Absolutely, node apps suck at deployment. Python is easy - virtualenv and Python package, runs from systems as charm.

I really want to love nodejs, but whenever I try to install a server side nodejs app, it's like "Install yarn... <KABOOM!> install the latest version of node.... Use nvm... Oh, you have to start your app as root... <KABOOM>

And people complain that Python apps are hard to install and distribute? Yeesh! :)
