This is just an extension of Egyptomania when wealthy British/Americans were eating mummies.

You can't even do builds of Rust crates without running a package repository server.

That's the neat thing, they don't want international visitors. So no more tourism.

You sure that isn't just part of some healthcare privatization and cost-cutting effort? I mean an annual checkup can be just a money-seeking thing so it goes either way but still.

It feels like the same thing exists with Hollywood movies. Even movies that try to have a populist class-politics angle to them seem out-of-touch like they were obviously made by progressive middle-class Hollywood writers. Compare that to the vibe of movies from the 1980s or whatever which feel so much more real. Like the opening scene of Alien where its a bunch of workers arguing over how they should approach a request from the company and the characters feel real and their arguments feel real, not caricatures or anyone being unreasonable. I've never seen something like that in a modern movie. But it was probably based on labor action that was happening in real life at the time.

It's kind of sad. Haven't seen I Love Boosters yet, maybe it has some of those vibes or maybe not idk. The separation of working class experience from entertainment is probably pretty intentional, but also probably happens naturally. Especially without the Soviet Union.

The fact that the wikipedia article is so thorough and obviously biased in favor of the protests makes it really sus.

James Cameron is making a whole series "we will be so bad in the future too" so there's definitely appetite.

He looked more wrinkly at the V Day parade. The videos are a bit low res so it's kinda hard to tell.

They're taking money from AI companies to "provide AI tools" to people at the ASF. Can't believe even open source development orgs are pushing AI down people's throats too.

Of course this is also happening at all ICE facilities, and US prisons, and CECOT, and black sites, and so on.

You're looking at a magazine called restaurant business online. They have another article about a bunch of people calling the protest of the Israeli PR person's restaurant "anti-semitic".
