Property rights only exist when non-western countries want their stuff / land back. When the west stole them, then its finders keepers.

Can someone explain the reactionary joke I'm missing here, what does this mean.

Capitalism is not synonymous with markets. A market is a distribution system, ie how goods and services are allocated, not how they are produced.

I really wanted this, but couldn't find anything than worked well. I ended up using tasks.org, an open source todo list that has great calendar functionality and syncing, and moved all my calendar events to it.

It's so, so sad that none of them, or the FBI, has had to pay for their crimes. Not to mention all the other murders the US has committed around the globe. The people who planned and carried out these murders haven't paid for them in the slightest.

Of course, memes are communal.

What happened in south africa when they defeated the apartheid regime? Did they kill all the whites en masse like the western supremacists had nightmares about?

No, most of the world is capitalist, and most of the world is poor. Only a minority of imperialist capitalist countries, primarily in europe and the US, have wealthier populations due to hundreds of years of colonial exploitation.

In fact world poverty is increasing, if we exclude China and it's poverty eradication efforts.

Really interesting article. Fingers crossed for Israel's domain name going the way of the dodo next.

There's also the case (like we've had here with ml), where a wild-west domain gets returned to a country, in our case mali.

Ideally though the internet should be able to function without dns at all, especially without a US-based company in California (ICANN) having the final say in controlling the world's domain names.

There's a lot of libraries that convert html to markdown (and in the process get rid of all the javascript spyware).

The android app markdownr can do this on the fly, and I had an idea to create a markdown web browser using that as a base, but no time to work on it.

NYPost I know, but looks like this is real
