I asked you what you think they’d look like, and you’ve only repeated that “they don’t work have never worked and will never work” without answering my question.

Your argument is like an 18th-century commentator saying federalism would never work to the scale of the thirteen colonies—it underestimates what has advanced. Whereas the federalism-skeptics underestimated advances in checks and balances (whose problem today is IMO with one branch just abnegating its power) from enlightenment thought and the consolidated power of the legislature developed through British Parliament, you underestimate modern social connection and networking. Sure, there are deep divisions, but within those separated groups are bonds, the strength of which on such a large scale never before seen.

Though I think it’d also be interesting to talk about power, I’m talking about the economy, and unless discussing something that much broader interests you enough to discard talking about the economy and the military for you as well I think we should focus on what we were talking about instead of veering down further tangents.

It was how the vast majority civilization worked for millennia until the rise of capitalism. Nearly every pre- and feudal state (and every place where one might think people bartered) used a gift economy until near the Middle Ages’ end. You also seem to be thinking that contributions have to be centralized, and you do need to realize that the abolishment of “hard” property is at the core of anarchism.

Either way, I don’t see how one would think the military is an exception to the economy unlike every other major industry.

How do you envision other industries get their resources in a mutualist economic system?

…yea I wanna explanation

voluntarily giving each other resources is the basis of the mutualist economy and is literally embodied by the gift economy. what resource-distribution/economic system do you think anarchist societies would have? the militias will get their resources distributed just like any other industry

plus promptness is a necessary sacrifice here. everyone can have their best judgement on whether they should obey first and mutiny later

Can’t they just convert a “true” input to backend to uppercase

For personal reasons, I no longer feel safe working on Linux GPU drivers or the Linux graphics ecosystem. I’ve paused work on Apple GPU drivers indefinitely.

If you think you know what happened or the context, you probably don’t. Please don’t make assumptions. Thank you.

I’m safe physically, but I’ll be taking some time off in general to focus on my health.

Finally, Linux is popular enough to get targeted by malware!

name change

In February 2004, MandrakeSoft lost a court case against Hearst Corporation, owners of King Features Syndicate. Hearst contended that MandrakeSoft infringed upon King Features’ trademarked character Mandrake the Magician. As a precaution, MandrakeSoft renamed its products by removing the space between the brand name and the product name and changing the first letter of the product name to lower case, thus creating one word. Starting from version 10.0, Mandrake Linux became known as mandrakelinux, and its logo changed accordingly. Similarly, MandrakeMove (a Live CD version) became Mandrakemove.

In April 2005, Mandrakesoft announced the corporate acquisition of Conectiva, a Brazilian-based company that produced a Linux distribution for Portuguese-speaking (Brazil) and Spanish-speaking Latin America. As a result of this acquisition and the legal dispute with Hearst Corporation, Mandrakesoft announced that the company was changing its name to Mandriva, and that their Linux distribution Mandrake Linux would henceforward be known as Mandriva Linux.

I hear NSA is creating an eight-dimensional KOSANET that scrapes the information from top-secret backdoors in your IDEs to be sent to this marvelous website’s server-side caching.
