Fun fact about IBM actually, they aided the Nazis during the Holocaust by developing tabulation machines for census of camp inmates, along with several secret contracts which brought in a lot of money for them.

When we point out the obvious based on available evidence, we're told that we're insufferable, that we're wrong, that we spread "Russian propaganda," that we are "genocide apologist tankies," etc etc. yet somehow, like CLOCKWORK we turn out to be right on the end. But of course, nobody is willing to admit that we're right and the cycle starts all over again.

I will never stray from the fact that Russia has been instrumental in supporting people around the world, but also recognizing that Russia is a reactionary state, which if given the same status as the United States would engage in all the very same tactics. I know people are quick to dismiss the KPRF as "controlled opposition" that is "joined at the hip" with United Russia, but in my opinion it's a counter balance that appeals to Soviet era demographics, and it does its job well, and by no means are they "non-radical" in the sense they absolutely risk strikes and organizing people even if it gets them thrown in jail. Yet despite all this, the KPRF recognizes too, the self-determination of Donbass, and has written very good analysis on the subject over the years, recognizing the absolute need of the military operation in the region. I do not personally believe that United Russia wholeheartedly supports this operation from a ground of moral conscience, but I do not also believe that they are innately engaging for economic reasons as one would for a capitalist state. I also hold the belief that out of all post-soviet countries, Russia holds one of the highest potentials for another mass communist movement organized from below, which would almost certainly reform many of the "bad" elements found within the KPRF (some of the more chauvinist points in their programme for example), especially with Russia weakening the chains of the neoliberal crisis, the revival of productive forces due to self reliance from sanctions and pressure, and finally, from the aggression by Kiev's fascist regime against history and peoples of the USSR, will ultimately only drive people further in to finding the historical links between anti-fascism and communism.

Yeah...initially I had a lot of hope, I thought maybe he had changed from the last time he made the mistake with Haiti, but I was wrong. Strange that he'd jump on this opportunity twice. Also, a lot of indigenous people still are left without justice against multinationals and abuse of their lands, it's really disheartening how much inaction is taking place. I know that MST critically supported Lula, but I wonder what their stance is nowadays..

Russia (more so I support the progressive character of self-determination in Donbass), Nicaragua, Belarus, Venezuela, Bolivia, currently Honduras because of Xiomara Castro, Burkina Faso, Iran, the resistance in Artsakh, Yemen, but also recently I stopped supporting Brazil because Lula decided to again support the oppression of the Haitian people.

On the other hand China has to balance the private economy to push forward as well in the tech industry, and LoongArch is perfect for that in a commercial context, especially now that US lawmakers are seeking to literally "block" China from using RISC-V (good luck with that), it at least provides an excuse, and plus it's far away enough from both MIPS and RISC-V to be categorized as its own thing. But no despair, there are great RISC-V projects out there, take a look at Milk-V, they released their Mars board and it's been a huge success. By no means is it being sidelined, but I also recognize as sobuddywhoneedsyou said below that RISC-V is relatively early in the adoption phase, especially with the ARM hype right now, so maybe going slow is for the best.

Very, they show up as a source of discussion for a lot of "tech news" sites, they often get linked on Twitter, Reddit, etc.

Moments like this I wish I had gone with Huawei instead of HONOR. I made the choice initially because HONOR is a state owned company, and the thought of potential SWRC or something like that being practiced seemed cool. But on the other hand I really want to promote HarmonyOS.

 

Every time I see an article linked to HN, the conversations that follow are absolutely horrendous. It makes racism on places like Reddit look tame. There's also a lot of bootlicking for US imperialism, attempting to justify neocolonial ventures or trying to argue about how somehow Taiwan and Japan are "beacons" of the free world...by complaining that China is heading lightspeed towards "renewables and mass electrification." In fact, that's all I can take away from HN conversations, "China le bad" takes, such as "China is irredentist for wanting to reclaim Taiwan," as if someone couldn't make bad faith arguments about civil wars in other countries (setting aside settler-colonialism, I'm sure that the US wouldn't have wanted a "free the confederacy" movement, but who knows maybe that's what tech bros want?). There's always this whole theme in their discussions portraying China as some "uncivilized" nation contrasted to the "civilized" western nations, and it's always this uniquely disgusting and ignorant quality which reflects the thinly veiled white supremacy in supposedly liberal ideology.

 

A lot of different outlets, as well as watchers on FlightRadar24 had reported the occupation's administration sending aircraft to different Azeri ground stations:

AP - Israeli arms quietly helped Azerbaijan retake Nagorno-Karabakh, to the dismay of region’s Armenians

Haaretz - Israel's Fingerprints Are All Over the Ethnic Cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh

[Israeli arms quietly helped Azerbaijan retake Nagorno-Karabakh, to the dismay of region's Armenians

And who is Azerbaijan allies with militarily? Turkey. Who receives gas from whom? Why did the EU sign a gas deal with Azerbaijan, shortly before the invasion? It's all so obvious, who's side Erdogan and Aliyev are in "solidarity" with, especially after the farcical rallies. The Palestinian Occuption Forces are complicit in several genocides, even outside of its "borders." It's terrifying to think of what they'll fuel next, such as the Syrian "opposition" or ETIM.
