Before proton we used wine. And wine will continue development with or without steam.

If anything the open source community did more and gave steam a firm platform to build on.

Edit: And to add an observation steams push for Linux is a reaction to Microsoft becoming a contender in the PC games market place. Its not for our benefit anymore than for valves.

libertarians where originally a leftist movement, but like dubstep, America ruined it /s

wont happen, only way to get what we want is through a classless society. we lived through millionaires and things were okay but with their millions they could secure billions: money is power and while what you say is a better outcome for our current time its not a sustainable one for the future.

 

Personally I very much enjoy Orwells books, Down and Out in Paris and London has to be one of my favorite book of his just for the issues the book tackles and tackles well. Orwell goes headlong in to class structures depicting his day to day of his life as a tramp, the simple yet devastating way he got into that situation and the all in-composing despair of financial ruin.

Also the communist that drinks all the milk to spite his boss had me hard.

Then Orwell later writes Animal Farm...

Hello comrades, Torquay will see a Stop The Boats protest tomorrow evening 7th of August. for those living there stay safe as right wingers will be bussed up and down from all over Britain.

We: a coalition of trade unions and socialists as well as activists and other such leftist groups will counter protest Stop The Boats but we are only strong in numbers. I am asking if you disagree with these extremists and wish to struggle along side us please come and join.

And with sufficient numbers are voice will be heard.

A legal precedent should be established to hold companies as large as CrowdStrike liable for their actions. This liability should be significant enough to ensure that future companies will think twice before releasing faulty code. We should not be asking for or supporting Microsoft's efforts to further lock down their product.

It's not a criticism grounded in reality; rather, it comes across as condescending and hyperbolic. In debates clarity is essential. I've chosen to exercise my democratic right to protest by spoiling my vote. Under the current political system, I see our society failing, and the available parties do not offer solutions. Spoiling my vote was my civic duty.

Both of your statements seem hyperbolic rather than coherent arguments. Choosing to vote is democratic, and your first statement about the minimum requirement makes no sense as, again, you’re speaking hyperbolically. I’ll leave this here, as you seem to lack political imagination and speak like a caricature.

 

Exeter City Council is to sink an additional £1.25 million into Exeter Science Park after it emerged that the joint venture is unable to repay a total of £7 million in debts owed to or guaranteed by its shareholders, which also include Devon County Council, East Devon District Council and the University of Exeter.

Exeter Science Park is the third city council company to run into trouble after the dissolution of Exeter City Futures, which received more than £1.5 million of public funding, and losses of £4.5 million incurred by Exeter City Living that the council has yet to recoup.

The council’s external auditor recently criticised the council’s approach to governance and financial management of all three companies, identifying a range of issues including lack of performance monitoring, lack of objectives against which performance could be monitored and lack of oversight by councillors.

no, my vote being a no vote effects all equally. fascism will come and i will stand with the trade unions and workers and this will count more than a vote in a geriatric system.

yes expected, the labour mp was a dry fart at the hustings, greens had a far better reaction. but neither are parties i support.

 

i am working to form a political branch in Exeter of The Socialist Party Formally Militant.

as the name suggests we are a socialist party with branches across the uk fighting for rent caps, the end of defunding our councils and publicly owned industries as well as nationalizing gas and water and electricity.

if this sounds compelling then please reach out.

this will be a pinned post to find different political parties/coalitions.

comments should look like: Socialist Party Formally Militant is a Trotskyist party with branches around the UK and strong union connections.

another example: TUSC Trade Union Socialist Coalition.

 

with the general election around the corner it is imperative that we mobilize, the community is to be as a resource for finding leftist parties to support, candidates to vote and leftist news without the capitalist spin.

rules are lax and discussion is invited.

Solidarity comrades.

Hello Comrades,

I am Squid, the admin of this soon-to-be wonderful community. As a member of the Socialist Party (formerly Militant), and an active socialist, I am excited to welcome you to UK Leftists.

This community has been created in response to the upcoming 2024 general elections. My hope is that UK Leftists can provide guidance, news, and, most importantly, a space for us to socialize and connect with fellow comrades.

While our user base is still growing, I will be sharing media from several established leftist parties to keep us informed and engaged.

Looking forward to our collective actions!

In solidarity, Squid

 

Ive got myself a DTU-1031X which is a graphical drawing tablet, it uses usb-B for input output, display. In my case I'm able to draw but beyond that there isn't an output to the tablet, I have install displaylink, and wacoms drivers. Any advice?
