Maybe in general the Linux community sees PDF as an output format rather than a maintenance format.

They only see what they want to see. They only believe what they want to believe. There is a ton of unhealthy psychology behind MAGA. The people brainwashing them know very well what they're doing.

I agree with you; totalitarian, authoritarian, possibly even fascist, often corrupt and other terms describe the countries that call themselves Communist better than the word Communist does. There is very little common ownership of the means of production anywhere.

While I am not a Communist, I think that most people would be happier in a truly Communist system. That said, I agree with some of Marx's perspectives on Capitalism, especially finance capitalism, and I think we're seeing outcomes past what he projected. Wealth has certainly concentrated in unhealthy ways globally.

My perspective is that humans will always only have Capitalism with a variable level of Socialist limits because greed is basically human nature and many people could never adapt to true Communism; any human power structure will always become corrupt. Government is just people, after all, not exactly an entity like some minds model it to be.

One perspective I've heard recently is that larger populations basically become ungovernable.

Curios if you have perspectives on PROUT/Progressive Utilization Theory, though it seems a lot like Communism:

Just noting that I have always had an interest in these topics, but being relatively wealthy in relatively poor countries has reinforced various perspectives regarding global injustices, economic and otherwise. I could write a lot on this topic, but there doesn't seem to be any point, because even the elements of humanity that recognize what's wrong aren't going to change anything.

I agree with you. I think one Democratic strategy failure was to not focus on red and purple states enough. The blue states were already decided. And yes, for the next few years, things are only going to get worse, IMHO, despite the mid-terms.

I agree with you in general. Personally, I don't think you can believe any politicians. Republican and Democrat are just two flavors of a corrupt system run by money in US politics. There are very few exceptions in either party and among the independents. To be clear, I have no problem with female candidates, although I do believe her gender and her heritage reduced her chances of winning in the USA (especially in combination with the anti-trans ads), so fielding her may not have been the best strategy by the Democrats (although it probably brought in some votes from some demographics, just not enough from the swing states). I really think we can blame those few independent voters in the swing states that didn't vote, voted for an independent candidate, or voted for Trump.

intel just needs to develop chips more useful for money laundering and then everything will be fine (financially for them).

Communism has never been anything but a false label. It's against the human nature of greed, and therefore cannot possibly exist.

She really was the worst actual presidential candidate I've ever seen, and I've been watching since Carter. She appeared to have a lock down on at least the popular vote but apparently never had a chance and couldn't run an effective campaign, let alone a nation. How does one lose to Trump in 2024? It seems almost impossible, but this is Kamala/the Democratic Party. They could lose anything. It's like a specialization for them.

I think it's fair to completely blame independents in swing states for Trump 2024. The popular vote is irrelevant relative to the independent vote in those 8 purple states.

Informative. Anyone have perspectives on causes of product release slowness for any PCI standard generation? Insufficient current demand? High development or production costs? Technical challenges?

It's weird how different peoples in general and individuals specifically interpret Trump. I met a retired Singaporean there recently who seemed to have a lot of respect for both me (American) and Trump, and apparently believes what the administration says. But that's not the general sentiment in Asia today from everything else I've seen. The average person doesn't seem to pay much attention though; they have more pressing concerns. The exporters may be affected, but that's not the average shopkeeper here, and much of the impact is indirect enough to not be attributed to USA or Trump. It's low season, so the tourism impact isn't really visible yet, though tourism seems to be visibly down already somewhat even now (world economy is a bit scary, partly due to Trump). It certainly seems that money is more tight everywhere. I see much more negative perspectives about Israel, likely due to the Muslim populations here, and obviously the videos. I'm not sure how much typical people here realize that there is a strong relationship between the two countries. Many people in Asia are not well educated and don't spend a lot of time monitoring current events.

Didn't google try something like that at least a decade ago with Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP), "caching" at least mobile news sites? I don't care to look up the story, but maybe it would be more viable now. And only available to bots, to keep consumers going to the sites? With canonical URLs referenced?
