    Source: I work in/with electronics manufacturers

    Tl; dr - a mix of value engineering and consumer preference. You wanna buy a $3k TV, or a $700 TV? How rock solid does your automatic sprinkler really need to be, compared to a satellite radio in the Sahel?

    Per IPC industry standards, there’s three classes of electronic workmanship/quality control used:

    • Class 1: It works, just about. Shoddy soldering is okay as long as connectivity is maintained. Passing a QA test may be as simple as “it runs when powered”. This is where most consumer grade stuff lives: calculators, watches, flashlights, etc.
    • Class 2: Better built with generally more QA. Testing usually involves actually checking for function and different modes. Generally used only on commercial/civil government stuff like traffic lights, power controllers, heavy machinery - anywhere where reliability and longevity is worth paying more for.
    • Class 3: Complete process control and 100% coverage function (and almost always) burn-in/stress test cycles. Top quality and cost, typically only used for military, aerospace, or medical - where stuff failing means people die.

    By rejecting materialism and embracing anti-materialism you are freed from the shackles of the physical constructs around us, able to shape and bend your environment- even from a long distance.

    The individual practice is relatively new, starting in the mid 1910s but it blossomed and has ardent support in multiple nations with different styles expressed. Russians lean towards simplicity and utilitarianism, the American practice trends avant-garde, while the Chinese largely iterate on existing foundations.

    Until we achieve a revolutionary advancement in science, anti-materialism is here to stay, and not just because of knee-jerk Luddite sentiment, but because of the unique effects it has on our world and others.




  • While it may have begun that way (and may still be the overwhelming use case, idk the breakdown) devs are using it for FOSS releases, and that’s where the ‘less literate’ crowd enters. Sourceforge was very simple to use, and had a consistent layout. GitHub wasn’t meat to be a SF replacement, but here we are having this discussion






  • Further to this, nobody interprets “Fuck Israel” to mean you hate the food, the weather, the terrain, etc because that’d be weird. I hate Florida weather, but I recognize that “Fuck Florida” is ambiguous, so I say “Fuck Florida humidity”

    Zionists have tried to re-define anti-semitism to include any and all criticism of the Israeli government. There’s some legit basis for this, as an uncommon anti-semetic attack is to say that Israel has no claims to legitimacy, but it’s gone too far and been abused:

    The definition was developed during 2003–2004 and first published… on the website of the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC). The publication was made “without formal review”, and [it was] removed from its website in “a clear-out of non-official documents”… Kenneth S. Stern, one of the original drafters, has opposed the weaponization of the definition
