@ThatCrazyDude @zephyrotv I agree. It’s time for Christian’s to stop being such giant moldy p’ssies and get in the fight. How embarrassing that you rely on Jews to do what your too faggy to do for yourselves. Or do you think once you take over the rest of the Muslim world will welcome you with open arms? Or are you planning on wiping out all the Muslims? Cuz NAStards say that’s genocide.
On Tuesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed support for Latin American countries in their rejection of foreign interference in domestic affairs.
Every so often I come across a paper, blog post, or (occasionally) video that completely changes how I think about a topic in programming languages and compilers.
Among the agreements signed were several focused on military cooperation, including the modernization of Saudi armed forces, enhanced training and support services, and improvements in health capabilities for Saudi military personnel.
“No evidence has been seen that a genocide is occurring in Gaza or that women and children were targeted by the IDF, UK government lawyers have claimed, as a high court case opened into the handling of arms exports controls to Israel.”
No? Then I guess these lawyers and their families wouldn’t mind being shipped off to live in Gaza for a few months. So, what do you say, chaps?

If you’re working with a limited budget, this decision is huge. You want quality results without overspending or dealing with costly fixes later. Here’s a clear, practical guide to help you make the right call.
Outsourcing Smartly: Freelancers vs. Agencies on a Budget
When you’re pressed for time, staff, or funds, outsourcing is a practical solution for getting projects done. But you’ll soon face a critical choice: Freelancer or agency?
If you’re working with a limited budget, this decision is huge. You want quality results without overspending or dealing with costly fixes later. Here’s a clear, practical guide to help you make the right call.
What’s the Difference?
It’s straightforward:
Freelancer: One person tackling your project alone.
Agency: A team with experts like designers, coders, or project coordinators.
It’s not about quality—it’s about their setup. A cheap web designer could be a freelancer or part of an agency, just like a premium one. Let’s dive into the pros and cons.
Freelancers: The Strengths and Weaknesses
✅ Pros
Cost-Effective – Freelancers don’t have overhead like offices or large teams, so their rates are often lower. For cheap web design, they’re usually a top pick.
Adaptable Workstyle – Need a quick job? Freelancers are great for one-off tasks without long-term commitments.
Direct Line – You communicate directly with the person doing the work. No middlemen, no mix-ups.
❌ Cons
Limited Capacity – One person means one schedule. If they’re busy or unavailable, your project could stall.
Skill Constraints – A freelancer might excel at design but lack coding skills, so you might need another hire for other tasks.
Quality Uncertainty – Some freelancers are exceptional; others fall short. A cheap web designer might be a bargain—or a mistake that costs more to fix.
Agencies: The Strengths and Weaknesses
✅ Pros
Team Power – Agencies offer a full range of skills—design, development, strategy—all in-house.
Consistent Progress – If one team member’s out, others keep things moving. Delays are less likely.
Structured Workflow – Agencies use tools and processes to manage projects, so you’re not stuck overseeing every detail.
❌ Cons
Higher Rates – Overhead means even “budget” agencies cost more than most freelancers.
Less Direct – You might work through a manager, not the designer, which can feel less personal.
Small-Project Challenges – Some agencies avoid tiny jobs or charge extra for them.
When to Choose a Freelancer
Pick a freelancer if: - Your budget’s tight. - The project’s simple, like a single landing page. - You’re okay managing the process. - You can invest time in finding the right person.
Freelancers are perfect for solo entrepreneurs, startups, or small businesses needing cheap web design for straightforward tasks. But vet them carefully—check their portfolio, read client reviews, and consider a small test project to ensure they’re a fit.
Tip: A cheap web designer isn’t always a bad sign, but if their rate seems too low (like $95 for a full site), ask what’s included. Bargain prices often come with hidden costs.
When to Choose an Agency
Go with an agency if: - Your project’s complex, like a full website overhaul. - You need ongoing support or strategy. - You want a hands-off, managed experience. - Your team’s too busy to micromanage.
Agencies are ideal for bigger or long-term projects. They’re pricier, but you’re paying for structure and reliability. Some smaller agencies offer cheap web design for platforms like WordPress or Shopify—just clarify the scope upfront.
Does Quality Vary?
Don’t assume agencies always deliver better work or freelancers are always the budget option. It’s about the individual or team, not their title.
What to check:
Portfolio: Does their work match your vision?
Communication: Are they responsive and clear?
Process: Can they explain their approach?
Reviews: What do past clients say?
A talented cheap web designer can outperform a high-end agency if they have the experience and understand your goals.
Stretching Your Budget
To get the most value: - Be Specific – Don’t say “I need a website.” Say “I need a 5-page site with a blog and mobile optimization.” Clear specs prevent cost creep. - Provide Content – Supply text, images, or logos upfront. If they have to create these, the price goes up. - Limit Revisions – Too many changes inflate costs and delay timelines. Aim for one or two rounds with precise feedback. - Trust Your Hire – Micromanaging slows progress. Pick someone reliable and let them work.
Wrapping Up
Outsourcing doesn’t have to drain your wallet. It’s about choosing the right fit:
Freelancers: Affordable, flexible, but need careful vetting.
Agencies: Structured, reliable, but costlier.
The goal isn’t to find the cheapest deal—it’s to hire someone who delivers quality without wasting your time or money. A cheap web designer can be a win if they’ve got the skills. Review their portfolio, ask smart questions, and keep your scope clear.
Outsourcing done right saves you time, money, and headaches.

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
If you enjoy these services, please consider supporting us by taking advantage of our paid services: https://www.eskimo.com/

TKP-ML MK: Ali Haydar Kaytan and Rıza Altun are Immortal!
We have learned the martyrdom of Ali Haydar Kaytan and Rıza Altun, who left indelible traces in Kurdistan, Turkey and the Middle East geography with the history of the Kurdish national freedom struggle, which exceeds the date of struggle and resistance, which has exceeded the date of 50 years of struggle and resistance.
PKK, 12th Congress, as well as the historical decisions; Ali Haydar Kaytan, one of the founding leader cadres, is the symbol of devotion to the leadership, the symbol of truth and holy life ”; Rıza Altun’s friend described it as the il symbol of comrade of freedom .. As TKP-ML, we meet the loss of our trench comrades, which are resistance, uninterrupted persistence and freedom, but also with our commitment to their memories.
The people of the Middle East, especially the paths of the earth, nor the Kurdish people, will forget these two freedom workers and the porter of the revolution.
“>Torch carriers of ancient lands; Kaws, Hürreşler, Mazdek, Sheikh Sait, Seyit Consent; Haki Karer, Mazlum Doğan, Kemal Pirlar took over the task and delivered to these days. These torches have been burning in the mountains of Kurdistan for a thousand years.
The fascist Turkish state, along with the establishment of the Republic, on the one hand, Armenian, Greek, Syriac genocide and massacres given the self -confidence; On the other hand, the uneasiness given by the existence of the Kurdish nation built the foundations of assimilation, denial and disinformation about different nations and nationalities.
The most fundamental rights of the Kurdish nation have been ignored one by one since the establishment of the Republic of Turkey and ignored the smallest quest of the massacres. Kurdish identity and language have been tried to be erased. The rebellion and resistance, starting from Koçgiri to Dersim, was answered by blood and deportation by the fascist Kemalist dictatorship, and for many years the dark clouds of fascism collapsed like a nightmare on the plains and mountains of Kurdistan cities.
In 68, the wind of revolution and socialism in the world has also visited our geography and has aroused a strong repercussion in universities, factories and villages. With this wind blowing by socialism, the revolutionary pioneer-left cadres went to the stage of history and attempted to destroy all the banned taboos. First, the leader and founder of our party, Communist İbrahim Kaypakkaya, expressed the full equality of rights of the Kurdish nation, which is banned and language, shattered this prohibited chain of history from its place.
Subsequently, under the leadership of Abdullah Öcalan, the founding leader of the PKK, in 1973, the foundations of the Kurdish National Freedom was laid in Ankara Çubuk and the Kurdish National Freedom March was launched. This march has given the will of a ring that has been updated and has been ignored, the will of its identity, personality and self -essence. A reality, a sociology of freedom was born and the most political public reality of the Middle East was created from a nation whose existence was denied.

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society. No, he studied the birth of the new society out of the old, and the forms of transition from the latter to the former, as a natural-historical process. He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.
Bertolt Brecht: Lenin is enshrined In the large heart of the working class.
Schaut man sich die Entwicklung der #Arbeitslosigkeit seit 2010 an, ist zu erkennen, dass es kontinuierlich weniger #deutsche Arbeitslose gibt. Das Gegenteil ist bei #ausländischen #Arbeitslosen der Fall. Hier hat sich die Zahl verdoppelt.

Est-ce que si vous aviez la certitude que vos vêtements ne se déchireraient jamais, ne se troueraient jamais, s’ils pouvaient durer toute la vie, est-ce que vous les garderiez vraiment toute votre vie ? Et cela peut s’appliquer à l’ensemble des objets que nous utilisons. Si cela était possible, est-ce que vous conserveriez toute votre vie le même téléphone, la même décoration, les mêmes vêtements, la même voiture ou encore la même vaisselle ? La réponse est très probablement que non. Du moins, pas si vous adhérez à notre système économique et social qui valorise, plus que tout, la nouveauté.
Ces discours sont au cœur des publicités " C'est nouveau, ça vient de sortir, c'est la mode... " Pourquoi ? parce que ces arguments font vendre ! Mais comment expliquer qu'un produit mis récemment sur le marché paraisse plus désirable et plus fiable que les autres, qui deviennent immédiatement déclassés et considérés comme vieux, dépassés, obsolètes ?
Tout ceci n’est pas naturel, non, c’est en grande partie une construction liée à notre modèle économique consumériste. La chercheuse Jeanne Guien en a analysé l’histoire.
Dans son livre le désir de nouveautés elle montre comment au gré de la diffusion du capitalisme depuis le 16è siècle, la nouveauté est devenue un étalon de valeur. Elle raconte comment, par leurs discours et leurs pratiques, marketeurs, publicitaires, économistes, mais aussi négociants, managers, politiques, designers ou scientifiques ont construit la nouveauté et sa valeur, sous des formes variées, absurdes, agressives. Du commerce colonial vantant les produits " exotiques " aux promesses de " progrès " et de " modernité " mécanique, électrique ou numérique, en passant par la " mode ", le " style " ou les produits jetables, il s'agit toujours de prêter aux consommateurs, et surtout aux consommatrices, un désir incontrôlable de nouveautés, afin de légitimer un modèle économique dévastateur : acheter, jeter, racheter. Alors pourquoi le désir de nouveautés est il un élément clé du consumérisme, réponse tout de suite dans cette nouvelle émission pour Blast.

A great in-depth dissection of how Mario 2 (US) stores levels. It's a lot more complicated then a simple tilemap, and it's got some wild things in there like "doors take 4 bytes before level 6-2, then 5 bytes afterwards"
How does Super Mario Bros. 2 store its levels in its data, and how are they created in the game? It's all explained right here.LINKSSupport the channel on Pa...

Pine64 ALPHA-One is a fanless RISC-V mini PC with up to 20 TOPS of AI performance
Pine64’s upcoming ALPHA-One is a small, fanless computer that stands out for a few reasons. One is that it’s made for AIL: the computer has an NPU with support for up to 20 TOPS of AI performance ad ships with a 7b Deepseek/Owen LLM pre-loaded and Pine64 says it supports about 3.5 tokens per second using that model.
Another reason is that the ALPHA-One doesn’t have an Intel, AMD, or Qualcomm […]
