Soviets were the only ones who truly supported the Spanish democracy against the fascist. Every other country, including Poland, turned their back to us while the Luffwaffle was bombing our citizens.

What kind of propaganda are you reading in which sending weapons, planes and officers (while all the other countries did NOTHING) is backstabbing.

Spain democracy lost because the allied powers did not care about us the same way the cared about Poland.

As I said I have actually worked a lot in environments with a diverse leftist spectrum.

And in my experience backstabbing usually goes both ways and is a result of the previous hate (and a lot of the time because personal non political issues) not the other way around.

And yes. The only wins I've seen is when there have been total cooperation. Division is always the prelude of defeat.

And be ensure that I would be saying exactly the same words to any tankie who talks about "purging any leftist" no matter what their ridiculous arguments are for such a premise. I've heard it all and it is often just as untrue.

I think more Superman.

He is just a working class guy, both his wife and his own job are probably getting replaced by AI, his mother pension keeps getting lower and his dad died because he couldn't afford proper healthcare.

Also his arch nemesis is already a Billionaire.

Didn't the whole TV sequel be about how the Rorschach fanboys became a bunch of nazi terrorists?

Even if they are a few bad years to become homeless. We are not even a few good lifetimes away to be billionaires.

It works for me. But only for some movies.

For instance "terroríficamente muertos" is the spanish name for "evil dead". And I can search both titles and jellyfin finds the movie.

I have jellyfin and metadata download set to spanish. It doesn't seem to work with all movies though. Maybe some movies do include a secondary title in the metadata and that's what's being used?

I'm from Spain.

But I know that in Latin America they also used to change the title of some media sometimes. Funny enough they used different titles than in Spain.

For instance, the movie "White Chicks" in Spain is "Dos rubias de pelo en pecho" and in Latin America is "¿Y donde están las rubias?".

It's also just two words. Spanish worlds tend to be longer than english ones.

"Muertos" is a direct translation of "dead".

"Evil" would be "maligno", but "terroríficamente" was used "which would be like "terrifying".

Anyway spanish translations used to change a lot the titles of the movies back in the day, most famously "die hard" is "la jungla de cristal" (directly translated as: the glass jungle) here.

I've heard that they did this because direct translations or english titles didn't work as well here, and a change in the title made more people want to watch the movie.

Nowadays this happens way less, most titles are direct translations or use their english title directly.

Could anyone give a brief sum up of what are these games about?

I know is a famous series and I think is a fantasy rpg but I don't know much more about them or why are the so well regarded.

I do self host several AI applications for myself on a low end device and I think for most lowend even mid devices local AI is unfeasible. Nowadays is too much resource heavy and times are too long without high end devices.

For my computer generating a description of a picture (one of the firefox new features) could easily take up to 5-10 minutes with the cpu at 100%. That's just not viable for doing while browsing.

Anyway I would love for firefox to open source the server side of this. So in case someone have s computer powerful enough they could do it locally if they want to.

I just think:

how many living species have been on earth? Millions probably

How many of those species are intelligent? 1

How long have this intelligent species been around? Nothing at a cosmic timescale.

How many of this intelligent species have become "interstellar"? 0

I don't think those numbers can be extrapolate, even to the observable universe, to ensure that there are any species capable of interestellar travel around. Living species and even intelligent ones? Maybe. But a long lasting inteligent and interestellar species? We are not an example of that, so we have 0 examples to extrapolate. Only our wishful thinking that humanity will last longer and keep progressing, but that is just a hope, not real yet.

We live in a system that actively prevents humans to get more knowledge, go figure.

Hot take: Sports are not that important, and it's not the end of the world if someone in the other team is "physically better" than you.

Sports should be just played for fun and for making exercise, not as a profession. And the whole sports industry should be taken down all together. Make all sports amateur and just for the fun of it and suddenly it really doesn't mather who is on your team or in the other team.

"Sorry, we'll have to do it in a few months again to see if you still can mobilize this much".

I'm glad they came out as what they already were.

It was clear that they did not feel as a non-profit foundation for many years now.

I've been way more than a decade (closer to two decades) uninterruptedly using Firefox. I've never used chrome as a my main browser, ever.

But still, I'll be naive if I didn't recognize that this kind of shit will affect me even if it's just indirectly.

Next year they'll surely will be forcing many webs only working in "manifest V3 compliant browsers". I'm sure of that.

There's no stopping climate change in capitalism.

And nothing was done in the way of ending capitalism. Asking "pretty please stop using oil we will paint things" to a capitalist government is ridiculous. The only way to end emissions is being us the ones who control the industry.

So, from my point of view was a useless, possibly counter productive, action.

Libraries where good for before the XXI century. Nowadays the amount of content they had is pretty small. Most libraries don't really has anything but the more famous books.

No everything has to be for profit in this life.

I've no contract with them, I've not made any purchases. They post something online for anyone to see.

They are completely free of locking their content behind a paywall, there are plenty of platforms for that.

But I want to make my first statement clear: no every single thing any human being does has to be done just for the sole purpose of getting an economical profit. That would be the death of humanity.

I still remember 90s internet when we had tons of websites with lots of content that was just there because the creators were fans of such content, no further intentions. Barely any ads or monetization whatsoever. The 'shark' mentality is killing internet.

How many countries would be easier than USA?

Is there a p2p based equivalent?

I don't even know how would that work, but seems something that would fit here.

I live in Europe. It's not as beauty as it sounds. I'm glad of what we have, but is not perfect, sometimes is not even better than the USE.

We have welfare, but more and more people are forced to private medical companies because waiting lists are becoming ridiculously long.

Violence and support for fascism is on the rise. Terrorism is on the rise. War is at our doorsteps. Many countries are talking about bringing back mandatory military training for all our citizens.

We may have better minimum wage, but median wages are lower and taxes and prices tend to be much higher. On average we can afford tu buy less with out money.

At least in my country we all live in small dehumanizing small and packed apartments. Living space is much smaller. Everything is human made, we barely have natural reserves or parks.

Employment is getting better but sometimes unemployment hits really hard, myself was years without being able to get a job during last decade.

Political tensions and population conflict is on the rise. Many countries are also on the verge or civil war, secession, or some big problem of the sort.

US is not perfect, and I wouldn't want privatized healthcare, or guns in my country by any means, but I would still would love some things they have in the US. And in other things we are just as bad.

My favourite videogame "oddworld" got a remake and I despise it with all my heart.

Since them no remake for me. I'll just keep enjoying the originals.

I'm friends with everyone leftist, even if they hate each other. I can feel comfortable among anarchist, tankies, socdems, new age leftists, reformist, etc. Because I know what our common objective is and I just can't care about the subtle differences. So I know the anarchist side of the story as well as I know the tankie side.

Being myself an active member of the social movement in my country and actually having watched modern day anarchist working with modern day communists I can say without any doubts that no version is true. Probably both starting arguing about stupid shit, and actual personal problems disguised as political problems, when they should had focused on the real enemy. But anyway I'm thankful for ALL who fought against fascism in Spain, anarchist, communist, republicans... I thank the international brigades, I thank orwell and I thank the soviets and stalinist. They all put their lives on line to stop fascism.

I just despise such an unproductive and harmful division of the left for shit that just does not matter when the true enemy is so big. And sometimes I just see a lust for internal division and eternal losing in such behavior. I don't know how some leftists have energy left to hate each other after they should had used that energy to fight the true enemy, capitalism and fascism. And I say this for any anarchist who hates tankies and any tankie who hates anarchists. You are not enemies, the enemy is in other direction.
