<Computer networking is the practice of connecting two or more computing devices to enable data exchange and resource sharing, using either physical cables or wireless signals. Key components include end devices (like computers and printers), media (cables or radio waves), protocols (rules for communication), and networking devices (such as routers and switches). These networks range in size from small Local Area Networks (LANs) in homes to expansive Wide Area Networks (WANs) that span the globe, like the internetThread to discuss computer networking.

It might seem like a bunch of impertinent exceptions that could be overlooked but
- the luxury industry is far from being marginal
- if the premise that the value of something is determined by the amount of human work that goes into it isn't true in every context, then the whole law of falling rate of profit doesn't hold true in every context either

So when privateer sucks cock of an officer and then swallows it's the same situation as during Holy Communion.
Therefore it's not gay as Holy Communion is not gay.
Q.E.D.
In Russia it's not gay to suck a cock of your superior. It's trad and Orthodox.
Semen is a bodily fluid and spermatozoid is basically a body (cell). So by swallowing semen of your superior as a Russian you are swallowing bodily fluid and eat body of your superior. Which is basically the same as Holly Communion. in Orthodox Church. In communion you drink bodily fluid (blood) and eat body of Jesus Christ who is your Lord. Lord is your superior.So when privateer sucks cock of an officer and then swallows it's the same situation as during Holy Communion.

This specialization gradually introduces inequality: leaders accumulate authority, private property appears, and social ranks emerge. The game models this shift through systems like organization hierarchies, diplomacy, and class-based housing. Over time, patriarchal families, inheritance, and noble titles develop, solidifying class divisions. In this way, Primitive Society Simulator portrays the long historical transformation from communal, cooperative tribes into societies defined by hierarchy, property, and power.

Primitive Society Simulator
Primitive Society Simulator is a historical society-building game that lets players guide a prehistoric tribe from a simple communal existence to a stratified civilization. It begins in an egalitarian “primitive communist” stage, where resources, labor, and tools are shared, and there is little distinction between individuals. As the tribe develops agriculture, metalworking, and trade, it begins to produce surpluses, allowing some members to specialize as craftsmen, warriors, or leaders.This specialization gradually introduces inequality: leaders accumulate authority, private property appears, and social ranks emerge.

The engines:
>Unreal

>Godot
>Cocos
>etc.
Go pickup one of these engines and start deving. My advice is don't ever get too caught up with reinventing the wheel if your goal is gamedev. Even people who want to "develop their own engine" are using a million frameworks. If you're developing a 3D game, you're going to use a preexisting graphics engine instead of developing one yourself because that would be pointless. You are not going to improve on the graphics engines developed by 1000s of engineers smarter than yourself. It's a lot of advanced trigonometry, I foolishly bought a graphics programming book when I was young and dumb and overly ambitious. There's no point to it.
So basically every game engine works fundamentally in the exact same way. The only difference might be more in the realm of performance handling, but unless you're like a computer genius, that's not even relevant to you. Unreal gives you full access to the source code. If you're so smart you can decipher it and modify it to your heart's content. I recommend real. I'm no programming whiz, but what actually counts:GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMING is very intuitive. It's very easy. If you can write out the rules for a board game, you could easily write those same rules out in code. That's how simple and intuitive gameplay programming is.

My "dark" web experience -- is tor useful even?
Saw Mental Outlaw's videos on the tor network. Thought I'd give it a try. Evidently, it is filled to the brim with exit scams and glowie pedobait. And I found it funny how Tordex/Torch admins try to justify not censoring such garbage.>The search results on Torch are not censored because we believe trying to censor the dark web is counter productive and a waste of resources. Our philosophy is people have the right to do anything they want and live with the consequences, Torch should not decide what people do with their lives even if it’s morally wrong.

Kill la Kill
Just finished this show and it has become one of my favorites. On the surface this anime appears to be trash anime packed full of fan service, but on watching it the so called "trash anime" is brimming with substance. excellent character design, badass soundtrack, and one of the satisfying endings I have seen in a long time. This show can make a scene of a butt naked woman running around killing enemy's with nothing but her toe nail feel empowering and not at all exploitative and fan servicey. What are your guys opinion on the show?

War of the Flea by Robert Taber book review.
This is the best book on guerrilla warfare I have ever read. It analyses Che Guevara, Mao Zedong and the Cuban revolutions guerrilla war experiences from someone who was involved with actual revolutionary guerrilla experiences. It’s called War of the Flea. The Classic Study of Guerrilla Warfare and it slaps. It focuses on Marxist, Marxist Leninist, liberation, anti colonial, anti imperialist, socialist, and communist guerrilla war strategies and gives a clear headed, non biased analysis. This video is NOT IN ANY WAY promoting violence, revolutionary or guerrilla war. So (I think) I took my meds and decided to review it. Enjoy!!!

Loops is federated now

The app is still a bit rough around the edges but I think it'll improve as more people get involved. Anyone else wanna check it out? Maybe leftypol could host an instance.
context: Loops is like if TikTok was a mastodon. It took a while to actually be federated but they did it and there's a few instances so far.

one of the people there, who is a trans man, was talking about how they're a lesbian. it's at this point that I feel like an immense boomer, because in my head lesbian = women fucking women. can someone please enlighten me how this is supposed to work? does gender stop existing when SEX is involved? or is it just calling a spade a spade?
how can trans men be lesbian?
help me out here /lgbt/. I was hanging out at the local anarchist book club the other day and, because it has a high concentration of trans people, there was a discussion about trans issues. since I don't really care I was just listeningone of the people there, who is a trans man, was talking about how they're a lesbian. it's at this point that I feel like an immense boomer, because in my head lesbian = women fucking women. can someone please enlighten me how this is supposed to work? does gender stop existing when SEX is involved? or is it just calling a spade a spade?

Is there any way I could try making a game? I have done modding before but I only had to mess with a little bit of code there which the community basically told me what to do, I didn't understand the code I just changed it (slightly). I am 100% sure I could make a great game and I have the perseverence to see it through, I just can't actually do the technical parts of it.
Tbh I don't understand why so many people make video games instead of books, because its so much easier to write a book, all you have to do is sit down and write, while for a video game you have to learn all this weird shit basically that I am too retarded for.
How do I make a game?
Can anyone give me advice on how to programme a game? For my entire life I have been completely repulsed by anything STEM and I could not learn Python even when I was in a programmer friend group growing up. I am autistic in a way where I can't really understand this stuff at all. On top of this, I am completely incapable of being an artist, I tried at school but I could never learn things like perspective.Is there any way I could try making a game?

With that being said, there is a challenge to set an example for others—to accumulate wealth in a healthy way that will empower and unite our families and communities.
You shouldn't label yourself (or anyone else, for that matter) with any "Generation Whatever" bullsh
This is a psyop created by a elite few to control generational wealth accumulation. They themselves do the complete opposite - they cherish the memories of their ancestors and continue passing down knowledge and wealth to each generation without putting any of them into predefined boxes. Remember, you are the physical manifestation of your ancestors’ will to survive.With that being said, there is a challenge to set an example for others—to accumulate wealth in a healthy way that will empower and unite our families and communities.

Anyone else really hate the "social theory" of transness?
That is, the idea that being trans is in some way caused by socialization and has no physiological component (ie brain differences, hormonal abnormalities, etc) to it at all. I keep seeing other lefty people, both trans and cis, repeat this. I'm not even going to get into all the evidence that points towards a physiological origin because my real point is that I honestly find the idea just really invalidating and kind of offensive. It's as if they're saying my dysphoria isn't real, that transness is equivalent to being a fashion choice and I just need to get over it or find a more accepting community or whatever instead of transition being a medical necessity.

reminder that you will never be good at an artform you didn't start when you were underaged
yeah sure try as you want to draw or paint, but you'll never be as good as someone who was drawing basic things at 8 and furry porn at 16.
im trying to learn how to draw, just basic things from cups to pepper shakers, and yet i can't figure it out. i'm told to learn how to draw with "perspective" and then am hit with a lorry load fo terms and language used to describe concepts that are never elaborated on and are presumably expected to just be inherently "understood".
i'm basically fucked in this regard, and will live hte next 60 years of my life in misery that i cannot draw. no, "just git gud" won't work you fucking american; some people are born naturally good and are then given the environment to cultivate their skills. I was not. This is called "being shit out of luck", and is hard for narcissistic people to understand, because to them it's either always them 100% them or everyone else's fault.

Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.
Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me.

Liberal Ideology Studies
Holy shit if you actually read these guys they're straight-up ancaps and fascists. They're all small-government nationalists obsessed with life, liberty and private property. They already do the whole Schmittian state of exception thing with the state of war. And they're okay with slavery as long as its against the ignorant or its a state of war. Basically, the worst kind of dark satanic mill shit. Like Mill wants to freely sell alcohol and then put drunkards in labor camps. Nietzsche and nihilism are irrelevant, the fascists are straight-up copies of Locke and Mill. And to be honest, the Liberals do that really long-winded and dull prose that fascists do as well.- "Two Treatises of Government" by John Locke https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/john-locke/two-treatises-of-government

This might not sound that impressive, but i've just managed to get program-agnostic rio-style window creation working flawlessly in FVWM. Previously it was a flickery, unreliable mess of xdotool commands, but now it's spawning every window iconified, hooking into the window creation event to set geometry from my rectangle selection program and deiconifying it to its correct position.
If you could keep track of all terminals and from which one a particular program is spawned, you might be able to reach true rio emulation closer than even the plan9port version.
Desktop and window management general, i guess.

Are gacha games another part of why a lot of young men are reactionaries? It seems like gacha gaming in general seems to be something that is supported in a lot of right-wing nations and even in China the gamers who like gacha games tend to be rather right-wing. Is this a chicken or the egg scenario though?
