I don't see that as any more desirable than a US or Russian CEO doing the same. It's all wage slavery for the people generating those profits, and it's all gravy for the CEOs to funnel into offshore accounts. Only funding a worker coop would make it more ethical and desirable, regardless of geographic location/regime, IMHO.

Wouldn't the surplus profit just go to the CEO of of the company? I can't imagine there's much difference for the average worker in China between mass manufacturing PC's for direct sale vs. Mass manufacturing for another brand.

I don't believe there's many worker coops building PCs, unfortunately.

Matrix is the closest replacement, and XMPP can replicate some functionality too.

You'd probably enjoy his normal content then! He makes great stuff.

If you're not sure what StopKillingGames is about, the creator of the campaign, Ross Scott (of Freeman's Mind fame) made this short video to give the rundown.

Fahrenheit 451 is certainly worth a read. I read it late in life, and could see immediately why it's so often read in schools. Very well written, and a compelling story.

Another book that you may find quite personally compelling is The Chrysalids by John Wyndham (Archive.org has a free audio book version), due to the themes it covers.

Anecdotally, my Pixel 4a which I have dropped multiple times still looks and works like new, even the battery is great!

I too had an otterbox case, which I think helped with those falls.

Looks like I was duped by this article, which claims its using Godot. I can't find anything on the web about them switching away from Unity besides that, so I think you're right.

Cheers for the info! I saw someone in the comments of a video on this bundle that someone mentioned Zenva's youtube channel has a 4 hour Godot course for free, so probably best to just hit that instead.

Hollow Knight: Silksong and Slay the Spire II are being made in Godot, along with a bunch of other indie games. So far it hasn't been used for a AAA or AA game yet, AFAIK. They have a showcase on their website.

Personally, I'm excited for Road to Vostok, which was ported to Godot after the Unity debacle.

Anyone have any experience with Zenva courses?

If your main value is small government, have you looked into classical anarchism?
