• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who are the "middle class" supposed to support in the class stuggle?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “they have health insurance”. It is a given in quite a few countries. No link to being wealthy. Driving your car is not about being wealthy, dependant low wage workers have to drive to go to the factory too.

  The stability of the owner class comes from the lack of necessity to labour to have spending money. You can be a wage worker like Emmanuel Macron, president of France with a current wage of net 8k€ ; but he just sold his wife inherited house for 3m€, when they got it for 1m€ (1.5m after the tax bureau caught him for under-valuating it). This is not working class.

  So proud of FFmpeg and VLC project ; I want news like this everyday ! Scavenging the good stuff from AI and putting itt to good use, we need more of this ! Next time automatic translation integration from AI models and we don’t need to worry about the dredge of syncing subtitles with videos, one button compilation process and woosh ! -> in fact “on the fly” means no need for compilation, it is even better than I thought 🤩

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Strange sell-off in the dollar raises the specter of investors losing trust in the US under Trump⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Long article, but interesting in the end: quote “”“Economists critical of Trump’s April 2 tariff announcement recall another event, the Suez Crisis of 1956, that broke the back of the British pound. The military attack on Egypt was poorly planned and badly executed and exposed British political incompetence that sank trust in the country. The pound fell sharply, and its centuries-long position as the dominant trading and reserve currency crumbled.”“” I did not know about the british pound superiority after ww2, anyone ?
