    I really don’t want to believe that requisitioning the grain of peasants at gun point and killing those who protested , burning their villages and raping their women as punishment was necessary. I don’t believe that sending the Tcheka to union leaders who had “bottom up” demands and disappearing them was either.

    The kromstadt sailors, who made the October revolution happen, didn’t want that. They wanted socialism without the dictatorship, they wanted power to the soviets, democracy. They mutinied to ask for that and were killed / had to flee to finland.

    The USSR was not run by the workers, that was propaganda. It was run top down by the communist party apparatus, specifically the politburo, of whom most were from the intelligentsia, not workers nor peasants.

    There was no dictatorship of the proletariat. Trotsky prevented labor unions from going on strike. War communism was forcing workers to labor as slaves. The new economic policy sent managers bourgeois back to run the factories.

    It was a top down dictatorship. Not a bottom up dictatorship of the proletariat. It was supposed to be all the power to the soviets. The soviets ended up being a tool for the politburo.

    OK I’m a bit confused. I have a Framework 16” that I bought earlier this year, without the GPU extension bay. I don’t care that much about the expansion bay as without it, the laptop is already huge. I have an eGPU to play on when I need it.

    What upgrade options does this announcement offer to me?

    I’m dissatisfied with:

    • the webcam
    • screen colors / brightness
    • key stability on the keyboard (the keys are a bit wobbly)
    • speaker sound quality (I’m not expecting the best, but something better than what it shipped with)

    They are announcing a new webcam, will it be backwards compatible ?

    Otherwise I’m really happy with it, I absolutely love the modular I/O, being able to swap which side the audio jack is is amazing. happy to support this endeavor of repairability

    War 8 with a large regional sub-conflict called War 8+ War X (pronounced ten) which revolutionizes warfare. You’re gonna love it. Gets renamed into War Xs but nothing much is new. Kicks back into War 11 and local conflict War 11 Pro which is smaller than the regional War 11 Pro Max though honestly, they’re all the same.

    Eventually gets rebranded as War 2026 even though conflict is taking place in 2025.
