Firstly, capital is still owned privately and the capitalists who have capital still dominate everything so that have not changed. Secondly, when have “everyone” been owning capital in America? The wealth of America have been concentrated in the hand of a small oligarch of capitalist since day one and that also have not changed. So the whole notion of capitalism ending is just delusional. That’s also some highly misleading definition of capitalism that’s entirely outside what Marx and other communist have defined. “Capitalism” is when the people have capital? What a joke 🤣

besbinto Space, the final frontier•China launched the last pair of Beidou navigation satellites2·7 months agoThis is very nice. I wish they had shown more footages of the actual launch than this info graphic though.
besbinto World News•The Saudi Crown Prince is Talking About An Assassination. His Own.52·8 months agoTheir legitimacy have always been found in being the absolute sellout to empires and willing enforcers of colonists against their own people though. Anything else is just pandering to the sold out victims so they stop fighting back and make the sub pressor job a little bit easier. Normalize relationships with Israel will absolutely be fine with the Saudi as long as the US want it.
That’s only half the story they told you. After you dice, grind and melt the original material. You have to use some virgin materials as binder to get all that stuff together. The amount of virgin materials can sometimes surpass even the amount of old stuff and render the whole recycling process moot for those nasty material. That’s why you should have better just burn them all in a furnace or just bury them back in the ground where they belong.
Not having a functioning browser. And no, it’s not Chrome. Why would you want to use an ads pushing piece of garbage?
besbinto Asklemmy•What's the cheapest thing you had bought that by the end of its usefulness made you say "wow, this was worth a lot more than what I've paid for!"23·10 months agoI grew up in a third world country and one of the first gift my immigrant relatives got for my parents was a microwave oven. That was way back in the early 90s when almost nobody in my country knew what a microwave oven was. The same microwave had been going strong for more than 30 years before the buttons finally broke last year. All for around $200 back in the day.
besbinto World News•China to see biggest millionaire exodus in 2024 as many head to U.S.11·10 months agoWell, you just need to read between the lines there.
uncertainty over China’s economic trajectory
Read: uncertainty over ability to continue exploiting labors using your accumulated surplus
geopolitical tensions…
Read: closing window of opportunities to freely move your accumulated surplus elsewhere
This is just like those immigrated nobles running from liberal revolutions in the past.
besbintoElectric Vehicles including hybrids and plug-ins•I Went To China And Drove A Dozen Electric Cars. Western Automakers Are Cooked31·11 months agoThe journalists who tried to test the range of the new byd car did take multiple breaks on the ways though. The point is that the car could do that whole trip without recharge or refuel, not that you should do that all in one sitting.
First Gen immigrant here. Credit card obtainment is itself not that hard if you already have guardians or sponsors who are willing to cosign your paperworks. If you don’t even have that then it would have been impossible for you to even legally get into this sh*t hole to begin with so I have no idea why you said it was hard.
The hard part is getting a credit line as high as 100k without a stable income and high credit score. Even many US citizens I known don’t even have close to that numbers in all their accounts combined fresh out of college. The conman in the post either already have rich relatives who are paying it back or must have lost even more cash withdrawn from China to bankroll his “scam”
Lastly, regardless of how you spent that money, it’s still entrapped inside the US economy and thus not enrich his own country at all. Unless they bought gold or cash back to China, of course
Doesn’t seems to be an official ban. My friends in Vietnam are still able to access Steam just an hour ago. This is most likely a situation like those manga websites black listed by Comcast or AT&T DNS.
besbinto Israeli Crimes•Israeli drones lure Palestinians with crying children recordings then shoot them8·1 year agoMaybe the thing that shot bullets and the thing that play sounds are separated.
Edit: it’s actually there in the article. They’re using drones to lure people into kill zones.
At this point a case need to be hundred of “b” to be more than cost of doing business for Apple. The ‘m’ fine are just rounding errors
Cars. Or at least infrastructure systems that’s entirely built just for cars.
besbintoUnited States | News & Politics•Building a new Key Bridge could take years and cost at least $400 million, experts say2·1 year agoCouple that with the profit optimization every one in the construction industry do means majority of the time and money spent would be on finding the way to squeeze out the most amount of money.
besbinto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Libation: Download DRM Free copies of those audiobooks you've paid for on Audible.English48·1 year agoDo DeDRM, and yet they host their code on GitHub and have a link directly to PayPal in the README for funding? Are these guys trying to get sued?
The IP and character designs are probably the only thing that’s worth saving. Everything else from writing, world building to even power systems have been a complete mess.
besbinto Books•Fanfiction Community Rocked By Etsy Sellers Turning Their Work Into Bound Books6·1 year agoI kinda understand the pain of those fanfic writers who sent time to write those stories. But book printing and binding for small numbers of print is really expensive. And I’m sure a lot of book lovers would love to have physical versions of their favorite works. So I am sure the situation will continue until things change in the publishing industry.
The reporter probably considered nothing less than a nuclear first strike a"loud" announcement 🤣
Pretty sure killing wounded combatants who have no means of resistance is a war crime. It’s even worse since it happened inside a hospital which should be shield from any fighting. Most moral army is acting as a bunch of war criminals as usual.
Assuming that they even actually launch and ship anything. All Nvidia launches in the last 5 years have been paper launches where there were no more than one card per vendor.
