@lizardsquid I read Anarchy Works by Peter Gelderloos a while back and iirc it was pretty good? Also working my way through Pëtr Kropotkin's The Conquest of Bread, but that's a much older book.

I know I've got a few anticapitalist followers: do any of you know a good place to introduce people to socialist stuff? Marx's stuff is super outdated and puts people on a slightly wrong track, but it's the only thing I ever see people recommending to newcomers

@turbodragon I want to write something myself, but I don't know if I can do it right

@turbodragon I don't, sorry! It's something that super frustrates me - all of the modern stuff about socialism/communism is super spread out in small pieces, and there's no one coherent place where I can link people to be like "Here's a quick rundown of what it means!"

@HTHR@cybre.space hrggrh

it's so bad

I feel like I'm about to go insane

@HTHR@cybre.space lone star is great, but I can't remember the elevator one...

LB: I read the communist manifesto about a year and a half ago, because I was introduced to communism by a bunch of maoists, and I then spent around 8 months spouting stupid nonsense.

I stopped doing that when I looked into communism/socialism/etc that takes into account the situation we're in right now, instead of the situation europe was in 2 centuries ago

The Voynich manuscript has been decoded. Turns out it's an early draft of My Immortal.

@theZacAttacks@cybre.space yeah! I'm planning on trying it out once I get my spare desktop computer hooked up to the internet

@ccolocho I kinda stopped hopping as much when I switched to nixos, because being able to just copy my config file onto a different computer and type 'nixos install' to just get an identical machine is just so useful to me

@ccolocho real linux users spend 15 hours rewriting chunks of the DWM c file

@ccolocho I'm still distrohopping, kinda? But I'm mostly using the more customisable distros (nixos, dragonflyBSD, arch), so my checklist is:

* make the computer work
* install a bunch of weird window managers
* install emacs

@galaxgal@dev.glitch.social depends... what do you mean by hackable?

@Elizafox HURD is amazing in theory, but when I used it, it didn't feel like anything more than an unfinished linux distro

@Elizafox I'm gonna install Gnu Guix ontop of a HURD instance spread across a networked supercomputer of 300 raspberry pis
