yeah that happens sometimes, and I have no idea why. The web hosting people told me the encryption certs are fine and everything’s working, but it sometimes does that 🤷🏼♂️
I built it myself, using 2005 html skills, so it’s probably something I’ve done… but give it a few more goes, or take off the VPN and try. We have no trackers in the site so you’ll be safe.
https://distrosea.com/ this is amazing for previewing linux OS flavours right in your browser, no need for a USB stick or installation! Linux Mint, Zorin, Ubuntu and Fedora are the winners for me in terms of being normie friendly.

That does all sound much more equitable. But don’t you just end up with a different 1% controlling everything, as per every communist state in the past? And isn’t that because not everyone is a worker - you have to have the admin layer at the top, who are deciding what is ‘best for society’, and they can (and due to human nature usually do) most decide what is best for themselves.
What you describe sounds MUCH better for the majority of people - but I worry about the unaccountability of the ruling admin layer.
Does communism/socialism have rules for mitigating that (which haven’t been followed by communist states, but could be)?
see, this is the problem - I’ve avoided thinking about politics forever, and now I’m not sure about the main concepts 😂
I’ve always equated high taxes with socialism - so long as those taxes go towards services and redistribution of wealth.
OK - so what *is *socialism? (the main tenets)
very interesting points!
I’ve just started a non-profit (to try to reduce/undermine surveillance capitalism) - and we’ll probably build software along the way. That is entrepreneurship, but not profit focused. However, we would need to be funded and paid to make it work.
How should I frame this in your way of thinking?
ah… bugger. That’s the link I used. I’ll see if I can find another from the person who posted it.
For Hitler and Nazi Germany it certainly was a way to prepare for expansionist wars: https://www.richardjevans.com/lectures/autarky-fantasy-reality/
I was just in Denmark recently and it seems like that’s what they have: a capitalist society but regulated by very socialist policies like (really) high taxes. Makes sense to me - I’m probably just not using the right terminology.
They’re all ‘one-party states’ aren’t they?
Opposite of democracy… so whether they work well economically is irrelevant, since you’re relying on the party not to become totalitarian. 😬
Naomi Klein’s book ‘Doppelganger’ is good on this topic…
Socialism yes. I’ve always thought that capitalism regulated with socialist policies is the way forward. That way you can still encourage entrepreneurs to get going.
But we’re still left with the r > g problem (money attracts more money).
Communism is the extreme end of socialism isn’t it? And I’ve always thought that extremes never work. Extremism is a circle…
I’m open to being educated on this though…
Serious question: has communism ever been proved to work at scale? (not communist regimes, the communist ideology)

Website building
Probably could be more slick, but working fine for my everyday needs.
The touch screen didn’t work immediately, I had to search up for a command line solution to that. But most won’t face that if they flash onto other (non-Surface) hardware.

I’m reading this on a Microsoft Surface that I flashed with Linux Mint. Quite satisfying!

lol I thought this was a guerrilla IT warfare post where you snuck in and did it, but you actually did it with permission… 😂
