When Canada sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us.
Nazis called themselves national socialists as opposed to the ruling democratic socialist party.
It would have been impossible for a non-socialist party to get any kind of popular mandate in 1933 Germany. Nonetheless, the democratic socialists had discredited themselves by being feckless and awful.
Socialist policies that the Nazis supported were mostly superficial and quickly abandoned. Those included:
- Making May Day a national holiday, which they did do but then they used the following day to arrest all the trade unionists and confiscate all union property or use by the the party
- A public stimulus/building program, where all projects were quickly abandoned except those that were seen as valuable for war, like the autobahn.
- “People’s products” subsidized consumer goods like radios and automobiles. Only radios were ever delivered through this program by the NS regime mostly so people could hear Gobbles’ propaganda.
The Nazis did not support land reform preferring to sidestep/triangulate with their “leibensraum” theory: they will not reform the large landholdings in Germany but they will give land to peasants from conquered land. In general the Nazi’s socialist/materialist promises came with an asterisk that the people will be compensated after the war by redistributing the spoils of the conquered lands.
Americans fleeing to Canada in 2024 gives Germans fleeing to Austria in 1934 vibes.
The great lakes compact is pretty aggressively supported by the Great Lakes states. There would be a pretty massive domestic fight if the west tried to take any water.
In fact the Great Lakes Compact was created after Canada tried to start shipping Lake Superior water to Asia in the 90s.
What the hell is wrong with Canada? Everything I’ve heard out of there for the past year or more has been horrible.
What on earth would that do? The poisonous leadership would not use it to improve the browser nor would they start working for donors instead of Google.
My point is that there is a funding model that they could have pursued when they still had goodwill and trust. And my hope is if the government finally puts the boot in with Google, then this current version of mozilla will collapse, the rats will leave the ship and hopefully a good browser will emerge the way firefox emerged from netscape.
It’s the board and the wider leadership who are controlled by Google and intent on destroying Firefox. The current CEO is pretty new, and replaced a heavily criticized CEO that spent years overseeing the decline of Firefox. The new CEO is a former McKinsey consultant.
Daily reminder that Mozilla’s new CEO is a former McKinsey consultant.
Mozilla could have focused on being user-supported through fundraising like Wikipedia. Instead they chose the comfortable path of being funded by their biggest competitor, who is an evil monopoly spyware ad business, which has been compelling Mozilla to kill Firefox and become the badies on the way down.
The one big law about lending out digital copies of books you own is that you only lend out as many as you physically own.
That is not what the lawsuit is about, and that was not what the plaintiffs or the judge argued. Their argument is that if you can not take a physical copy and digitize it.
If you want a digital copy to lend, you must beg the publisher to allow you to have a digital copy to lend and you must accept their terms. If they don’t want to provide you with a digital lending option as a library, then you can not lend it. If they want to make you use their DRM software you must use it even if it spies on your patrons and charges you per-lending fees, or even “expires” the book after so many loans, or “blacks out” or “embargoes” lending of titles you are supposed to have in your catalog (these are all features of publisher-backed digital lending schemes).
This is depressing as hell and a statement about the time we live in and the corporate overlords who control our lives.
Jimmy McGee made a great video about it last year:
Cope how? I’m not a fan. The worst thing in the world for Lockheed would be if US’s adversaries decided they weren’t going to be designing any new weapons systems. Lockheed runs on fear of what’s next.
