This summer, #companies are raising #billions of dollars to buy #bitcoin and other #cryptocurrencies, sparking a #frenzy. While some #investors are sceptical about the risks involved, others are backing these deals, including big-name bankers and investors. Despite the potential for significant profits, the #volatility of cryptocurrencies and the #speculativenature of these #investments raise #concerns about the #longterm #viability of this #strategy. https://www.wsj.com/finance/currencies/crypto-treasury-e7ae573c?eickercrypto.com #crypto #blockchain

Frustrated with #JRPGs that offer brainless grinding instead of real strategy? I know that feeling! Many #games boast complex systems, but ultimately, it's just about mindless leveling. Where's the challenge that proves I played smartly? This design philosophy devalues the experience.
A beacon of hope is the #SaGa series! It rejects grinding and forces you to truly think. Bosses are tactical #puzzles; progress is based on understanding, not repetition. If you crave real challenge & depth, check out SaGa! It's time for more JRPGs to demand our brains.

Battle for Wesnoth is probably the most advanced open source game to date. If you're into turn-based strategy games, definitely download it for your distro. And they're looking for more maintainers btw!
Finally managed to properly install Caesar III under #Linux, to run under the open source re-implementation of the gaming engine, #Augustus. It wasn't as straightforward under Linux due to case sensitivity on files, and a special tool to unarchive shielded .cab files, but it worked at the end thanks to the wiki. Bear in mind, the game requires the original artwork from 1998 (easily found online).
#0ad is possibly one of the most advanced #foss games. It's a multi-platform #RTS historical #game, and there's currently an appimage for #Linux users found at #github (in case #flatpak isn't to your liking).
Plays really smoothly, although it eats my 2015's #Macbook Air's battery (running Linux #Mint) for lunch. We're talking that it has about 30 minutes of overall #gameplay before I need to recharge. CPU utilization is at about 50-60%. @play0ad
What would it look like for our universities to be "radically abundant"?
What if they were noot governed by logics of scarcity and precarity, but instead were centered on conviviality and sufficiency? What would it look like if they were actually run democratically, and actively working towards dismantling the structures of power that fuel climate breakdown, genocide, fascism and war?
Most importantly, how do we get there?
Our new paper "Degrowth and decolonisation in academia: Intersecting strategies towards transformation" provides a contribution towards answering these questions.
We present a vision for an academic system centered on public provisioning and communal sharing, rather than the currently dominant state of artificial scarcity. We then make use of the “strategic canvas for degrowth,” developed by Ekaterina Chertkovskaya, as inspired by the work of Marxist sociologist Erik Olin Wright, to understand how power is today challenged within the university’s walls, and how transformation towards radically abundant alternatives can be enacted.

He did not purpose to fight out the issue with him, but wished, having plenty of time, money, and men, to wear out and consume gradually his culminating vigour, his scanty resources, and his small army.
Therefore, always pitching his camp in hilly regions so as to be out of reach of the enemy's cavalry, he hung threateningly over them. If they sat still, he too kept quiet; but if they moved, he would fetch a circuit down from the heights and show himself just far enough away to avoid being forced to fight against his will, and yet near enough to make his very delays inspire the enemy with the fear that he was going to give battle at last.

No more private institutions and private society for the wealthy.
If we can't have nice things, then neither can they.
