  • Its honestly not a big deal, its just something to go rename for no good reason. At least for my job, it took about only a couple man-days to get every mention of blacklist/whitelist renamed and the code reviewed.

    The bigger deal for me was master branch to main. Broke every pipeline script we had, broke our backups, and it caused not one but two outages in production. I guess its our fault for not making the branch name maintainable, but its never come up before and will never come up again. I honestly think between all the work we put in to that change, we spent a man-year on that. Thats before the production outages. Devops sucks.

    At least I got paid to deal with it.

  • Most banned books aren't age appropriate or contain some issue. Like Gender Queer, the "Most banned book in America", freely available to order, contains pictures of sex, blowjobs, and a blood soaked tampon left until the blood curdled. It's not exactly appropriate for kids, so it got banned.

    The issue is that most of lemmy has never looked at a banned book, and they're just circlejerking thinking that only super important books get banned or some shit like that.

  • Its two fold.

    There are a lot of regulations, which are not a bad thing, but they do slow things down and make everything more expensive.

    The sheer amount of immigrants. A million plus every year, year after year, adds up. Building a million homes a year would be tough for any country.

  • I admit its been a decade since I read the manifesto, but there isn't exactly a revised version out there. Communism is achieved by going through various stages. The second to last is tyranny of the proles, and the last is true communism. There is no mechnaism to move from tyranny of proles to true communism.

    Beyond everything else, you can't achieve communism in the way Marx laid out.
