As a rule I don't announce my trackers publicly so they can continue existing as my trackers, but the one I use mostly is small-rodent themed.
I'll DM you
I get my linux distros via torrent networks, mostly
As someone who likes to have a fallback way of purchasing digital content that I can remove DRM from, this annoys me.
I can still purchase mp3 and flac files from various online retailers, and I can rip bluray for my movies and tv shows, but now I need a new place to purchase ebooks that are downloadable. Anyone have any recommendations? The first few independent retailers i've found seem to require their own apps.
It's been a while since I've heard about libgen and aa - and actually i'm not sure how they operate with direct downloads of copyrighted material? I find my ebooks through more conventional p2p means, but i've always just assumed that was necessary to avoid sudden takedowns
Lmao, yea I think they're kind of playing a game with language here.
After doing some reading of various explanations, what they mean when they say they aren't using electrons for computation is basically that the 'thing' they're measuring that dictates the 'state' of the transistor is a quasi-particle..... but that particle is only observed through the altered behavior of electrons (i guess in the case of the majorana particle, it appears as two electrons gathered together in synchrony?)
So the chip is still using electrons in its computation in the same say as a traditional transistor - you are still sending electrons into a circuit, and the 'state' of the bit is determined by the output signal. It's just that, in this case, they're looking for specific behavior of the electrons that indicate the presence and state of this 'qbit'
That is just my layman's understanding of it
Microsoft isn’t using electrons for the compute in this new chip; it’s using the Majorana particle that theoretical physicist Ettore Majorana described in 1937.
Ok now i'm gonna need an explain-like-i'm-not-a-quantum-scientist on what a 'topological transistor' is, and what it uses instead of electrons for its compute (and, like, what is the significance?)
Fair, but Marx wasn't a technocrat. He was primarily concerned with how the working class could overthrow capital, and the working class was primarily illiterate - transatlantic telegraphs wouldn't have been a relevant tool to them in their ceasing of capital from the bourgeoisie.
Marx specifically wrote the Communist Manifesto in easily-understood language so that the few literate members of the working class could organize and recruit those who wouldn't have been able to read it themselves. Even if he understood the telegraph to be a revolutionary technological innovation, it wouldn't have been relevant to an impoverished working class that did not have the luxury of basic education.
Not that it would have been impossible for anyone to see the potential significance of the telegraph back then, but that was never going to be a Karl Marx who optimistically thought the revolution could happen within his lifetime (and here we are almost 160 years later not even a step closer to that reality)
If Marx had predicted our current internet communication hellscape all the way back in 1870, he would be more than just an anti-capitalist boogeyman but a bonafide prophet
20% of Americans were illiterate in 1870
I honestly think social media and internet subculture would be fine if it weren't soured by moneyed interests
If work wasn't so alienating and all-encompassing and we weren't so stressed and insecure in our material conditions, then we wouldnt run to social media as an escape. If wasn't also so rife with consumerist culture and advertisements it wouldnt be so corrosive. Maybe then we could use it to create communities that mirror and bridge into irl spaces and create meaningful relationships.
Instead, the entire network has been constructed around a capitalist organization and it only serves to make us more miserable.
An excellent game that was undercut by their exclusivity deal with Epic

yup. I haven't done it yet, but apparently ceiling fan controllers are a pretty standard thing, so usually all you really have to do is replace the whole controller box (they're like $30 apiece from what I remember), or replace the controller board itself like you mentioned.
I've stopped buying appliances from places like Home Depot for this reason, seems like they simply do not stock items that aren't their brand-name cloud-hosted services, or larger brands like hue.
