What is to be done Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:36:54 No.6 [Reply]

The misses watches last week tonight with john oliver. It is seriously corrupting her revolutionary potential with some cold hard neoliberal properganda. Ive tried showing her the empire files debunk of Venezuela but oliver did, but she wasnt having any of it. Plz halp! She also watches Samantha bee which is fundamentally worse

>>8tbh lots of unions got pretty diverted yeah.In my view, intersectionality just means that all these struggles (or at least, their material basis for being a struggle) intersects at class.And that therefore, the best way to ensure everyone's rights is through the class struggle.The US had to fight many decades for women's rights, and many more for black people's rights.But in the GDR, USSR and Rojava, it's included in the package.Ultimately, the left needs to get rid of the image that it's only for minorities. The white male worker shouldn't feel afraid he would lose his voice.Nobody wants that.

I was bored, so instead of fixing the broken part of the CSS I posted yesterday I decided to write a Red Yotsuba theme. Maybe a little too breast cancer awareness, but I like it overall. What do you guy's think?It's possible to make really clean CSS theme selector using custom properties and &ltselect> tags, I might do that next and just have a dark, yotsuba, and red yotsuba theme.

>It's possible to make really clean CSS theme selector using custom properties and &ltselect> tags, I might do that next and just have a dark, yotsuba, and red yotsuba theme.I was kinda dead wrong about this, it seem barely even possible to have a theme selector of the sort I was thinking. I guess the way to solve this then would be to have slightly different URLs for each theme. Some sort of simple subdomain would likely be best. A bit disappointing though.

A leftist /tech/ board is great! Let's use it more, comrades!Are any oldfags around who had the joy to come in contact with pic related or other micro electronics from real socialistic states? Sadly I was born too late to have a opinion on their products.I read DDR lightbulbs were more durable than the western ones because they had no planned obsolesence; what do you think would our society today look like, if more elecronic products like smartphones were designed with a much longer lifetime in mind? Would the use-value of the products stay the same over time, or would it decrease with technical progress?

>What do you think would our society today look like, if more elecronic products like smartphones were designed with a much longer lifetime in mind? Would the use-value of the products stay the same over time, or would it decrease with technical progress?You get more standardisation, less form over function sacrifices (works better but has worse design), as far as durability goes , it depends long lasting batteries are just hard to make, what you definitely would get is better repairability.For smartphones you'd probably would have seen magnetic field tracked pens (used in graphic tablets) rather then the currently capacitive touchscreens, because the magnetic pens are easier to make and more precise, Resulting in a renaissance of handwritten text and social/cultural trends/development around penmanship and quick sketches.You'd probably would have seen a universal interface scheme, where all sorts of devices no longer would have buttons and nobs but rather an IR-port that turns your smartphone into a remote for everything. Also a much greater R&D focus on sensors turning smartphones in a portable scanner.Since socialism has a sort of protected commons that isn't at risk of being enclosed, you'd see more people contributing to projects like user-generated "cartography" type stuff where people digitize "note-worthy" features of "meat-space". Enabled by the scanner functionality.>Would the use-value of the products stay the same over time, or would it decrease with technical progress?I'm not sure what you mean with this, you might get better backporting for software to run on older technology, because there aren't any IP laws blocking people from pruning software to make it run.

Code of Conduct(s) Comrade 12/21/20 (Mon) 04:37:21 No.310 [Reply]

Perhaps a declaration of technical principles would be a better term, but regardless the necessity of finding a means (beyond licenses out of necessity) to secure our software from outside meddling seems to be all the more essential the more I think about it. There are approximately 90 CVE's (70% due to memory safety) in each Linux kernel major version, many of which remain outstanding even after moving to the next version, with the average lifespan between 3 and 6 years for "high" and "critical" bugs. The Linux kernel is now approaching 28 million lines of poorly documented code, making it completely beyond what a actual audit is capable of assessing, beyond comprehension. More than this the development of the kernel and funding of the foundation are almost entirely in corporate hands. Linux is but a example, every large component of major infrastructure (and rest assured if it's major infrastructure it will become large) suffers from similar plights.What I'm not attempting to advance here is the suckless philosophy. In my opinion suckless goes beyond attempting to restrict the scope of their projects to an obsession with SLOC to the point of harming correctness and completeness (for a sound list of necessary features see here: http://www.loper-os.org/?p=284). They do not document their programs, following the mantra that code is documentation (which is true but insufficient). Additionally they fail to critique the accepted protocols and divisions of applications, which would allow them to not only make more correct complete software, but also to make in aggregate simpler software. As a example why make a separate windowing system, terminal multiplexer, terminal emulator, and text editor when these things could all be combined as extensions of one another. Why separate your text editor from your web browser? Why work with text streams and the file system instead of having a single address space? Why take X-Server for granted rather than building of Linux's frame-buffer.What issues is it that I'm pointing at here exactly:a) scope creepb) illiterate programmingc) unquestioned assumptions (primarily those given to us by unix)d) over-optimization (understandability, and completeness should be prioritized over micro-optimizations)e) insecure technologies (for example unassisted manual memory management, and unchecked type wraps)f) incomplete software (corner cases handled etc)[b]Can yoPost too long.

>>292>What are these "unquestioned assumptions given to us by unix"? Should I read "The Unix Hater's Handbook" to know? Would I be better served reading something else?That's a great book, although at this point many of the complaints are outdated you can still see some of the impacts, I'd encourage you to read it. Reading summaries of the Unix philosophy critically after reading https://www.dreamsongs.com/WorseIsBetter.html is also a good introduction.The most important thing though I think is to just think critically about what Unix supports. Is it actually reasonable to say that every program should serialize and parse its data rather than just passing actual data structures? Is it acceptable that there are no safety measures making things as simple as moving, editing, or deleting a files foot guns? Is it tolerably that programs' source can't be inspected and edited live like in Emacs but rather we have to make forks and separate applications for even the most simple change, if we're lucky we have a cumbersome add-on system opaque to the user. etc.

>>283I'm struggling to come up with a nice rule, or set of rules for what a good program's objectives should be. It's a much more complex issue that these issues of representation I've dealt with so far. It seems to me the most important semantic rule is that the program's objectives should be in the interest of their user. I can't really think of more than this.I don't know if I'll leave it at that or not.

Guess I'll wrap up these principles into a nice toasty CoC:>Thou shalt operate in the interests of thy users, this is the ultimate commandment. Thy users will not always know what's best for them, so we may disagree with them, but try as we must to serve them.>Thou shalt make thy user interfaces as physically and mentally ergonomic as possible, while recognizing often we are not capable of making interfaces capable of providing this for every situation, and thusly must allow for customization. When thy hath been forced to trade off between the interests of the users and the interface or artistic direction thy will always side with the users. This is the penultimate commandment all else is tertiary.>Thou shalt make thy source code including the entire stack as understandable as possible. Certain components likely must be complex to reduce the undesirability of the system over all. Thy shalt always sacrifice undesirability for the sake of the interface and the users, but never for anything else.
