  • The “European democracies” already undermined themselves by allowing capital to exert as much control as they want, and just allowing themselves to be vassalized by the USA. They join the USA in funding and supporting fascists and engage in regime change all over the world in order to continue to extract super profits from the global south so that they can stay rich and placate their own citizens by sharing some of that stolen wealth.

    And this whole war was a result of a plan to exploit Ukraine’s human and material resources in a similar way, with the ultimate goal of doing the same to Russia. This is why the west has been supporting Banderite neo nazis in Ukraine for many decades.

    The fascists lost WWII but won the Cold war. The DDR had far better gender equality, gay rights, and trans rights than the BRD.

    Parties like BSW accept and attempt to work within the divisions among the working class along ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and disability status that were created by the ruling class in order to prevent the development of class consciousness. But into doing so they reinforce these divisions and allow themselves and class consciousness to be weakened. All while promoting bigotry. That is why I oppose them. Not because of their positions on Russia.














  • Not exactly the same but very similar. AA191 was caused by improper maintenance that weakened the rear pylon mount. We don’t yet know why the rear mount failed but this time but the prelim report claims the spherical bearing lug had metal fatigue cracks as well as signs of overstress, but doesn’t mention any dents like we’re present on AA191: (Sorry for the yt screenshot it was the only place I could find this picture yesterday)

    Also AA191 crashed due to assymetrical lift due to the slats retracting as hydraulic pressure was lost on the affected wing, this time iirc the slats remained extended and the plane just didn’t have enough thrust. It’s possible that debris from the engine separation were injested by the #2 engine causing it to lose thrust as well while the plane was extremely heavy.


  • For some of the really flight critical stuff that I picked their brains on, the on-cpu cache was disabled because using it would make deterministally analyzing the executive time too difficult. There also wasn’t a pre-emptive multitasking scheduler but instead every task would run during a scheduled time slot in a big superloop.

    All of this caution actually made the software a lot more primitive than the software that Margaret Hamilton led the development of for the Apollo program, but these days cpu cycles and memory are a lot cheaper than the engineering time to implement all these things in a safe way, or so they said.
