    Thank you for your response! Yes, it is true that the States were limited to the east coast initially, though it took so little time to expand westward that I opted to omit it for conciseness of the text. However, as this did play a vital role in their expansionary mentality, and the brutality that the states would show to their fellow human beings, I realize now I should not have excluded it. Especially given how they were constantly rewarded for their effort to eradicate the natives with land, slaves, and resources.

    Didn't capitalism start 300-400 years ago? If I remember correctly, capitalism was born of the imperial nations of Europe (primarily Great Britain, France, and Spain), as private capital, now unrestricted from the guilds as under feudalism, expanded for increased control of their respective markets.

    The United States, started only slightly after the major imperial powers of its day. In addition, it's geography blessed it with weak neighbors to the north and south, and fish to the east and west, allowing it to develop almost entirely unhindered from the risk of war destroying it's means of production. Furthermore, property rights were enshrined in its very constitution from start due to its status as one of the world's first a bourgeois democracies (widely believed to be the ideal circumstances for the development of capitalism). As such, the United States had one of the most mature capitalist economies in the world by this point. Even at this point it's form of capitalism is probably more mature than many capitalist nations in the third world are currently.

    In all likelihood, the course of capitalism in the United States was reversed somewhat by a combination of anti-monopolistic legislation, an end to its pre-worldwar isolationist policies, and the introduction of new markets in the world economy due to need for many nations to rebuild after World War Two. As such, I think it reasonable to call this a consequence of a 1940s late stage capitalist economy.

    Please note: The United States did not start out spanning the entire continent, but rather got their though roughly a century of brutal westward expansion and genocide. I apologize for my omission of this information.

    Simple Guide for the Installation and Configuration of RetroArch (Linux)

    # Simple Guide for the Installation and Configuration of RetroArch ## Preamble This guide assumes the use of the [flatpak](https://www.flatpak.org/) version of the software as found through [flathub](https://flathub.org/), and that you are using a Debian base (such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, or ElementaryOS). ## Part One - Installation ### Configure and Installation of flatpak *NOTE: This can be skipped if flatpak is already installed and configured for use with flathub* First and foremost, run `sudo apt install flatpak`. After that, all that is left is configuring for operation with flathub. This can be done by running `flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo`. ### Installation of RetroArch From this point the installation is rather simple. Just run `flatpak install org.libretro.RetroArch` in your terminal *In some cases you may have to restart your session (logout and in again), in order for the application to show in your application menu.* ## Part Two - Configure Controls Upon first launch of the application, the need to configure a controller is likely. To accomplish this, go to `Settings > Input > Port'ControllerPortNumber'Controls`. At this point, all that is needed is selecting `SetAllControls`. After doing this, press the buttons displayed on screen via the controller, ignoring any buttons the controller lacks. This can be repeated for any other controllers you want to add. ## Part Three - Downloading Cores From this point, cores (emulators) will need to be downloaded. To do this, go to `MainMenu > OnlineUpdater > CoreDownloader` in the menu system. From here download the cores you wish to install, this is done via left click or the enter key. ## Part Four - Importing ROMs ### Standard Import Now, the need to import the ROMs (games) is imminent. First, go to `ImportContent > ScanDirectory > 'Where/ever/you/keep/your/ROMs' > ScanThisDirectory`. This should automatically import all of your ROMs into the program. If this does not work, it will be necessary to import the ROMs manually. ### Manual Import Manual import is useful for when more manual control is required. An example of this would be if the ROMs are stored in archive files. First, go to `ImportContent > ManualScan`. From here, select the directory the ROMs are stored in, the console those ROMs are for, a default core for their execution *(not necessary)*, the file extensions those ROMs are stored as, and whether or not to scan inside archive files (such as zips). ## Part Five - Adding BIOSes *NOTE: Only needed for newer consoles (a good rule of thumb is optical drive era and later).* All that is needed here is the downloading of the various [BIOS files](https://archive.org/download/retroarchbiospack1.0312020/Retroarch%20BIOS%20Pack%20%2806-28-2022%29.zip) into the correct location. The location in question being `~/.var/app/org.libretro.RetroArch/config/retroarch/system`. The prior link contains a zip file with the various BIOS files needed for every system (as of 2020).

    Zelensky Calls On U.S. To Send Totally Psycho Marine www.theonion.com

    KYIV, UKRAINE—In a desperate plea for aid in the continued effort to expel his nation’s Russian occupiers, sources reported Friday that President Volodymyr Zelensky had called upon the United States to send a totally psycho marine to assist in Ukraine’s war effort. “You know, one of those expertly trained, one-man-army guys who carries an arsenal on his back and has killed so many people in combat he’s now cold, unfeeling, and completely insane—you gotta have at least one of those to spare, right?” said Zelensky, specifying that the ideal candidate would be a wild-eyed shirtless muscleman who functioned as a completely self-sufficient killing machine and could take out hundreds, if not thousands, of enemies all by himself. “In order to get the upper hand against Russia, we’re going to need your most batshit, balls-to-the-wall ex-special-forces guy. He’ll have a crazy name like Razor or Bloodhound or something, and he’ll always be blacking out and waking up covered in blood with a whole village dead around him. If he has a personal score to settle with the Russians, that’s great, but the most important thing is that he just kills and kills and kills and kills—sometimes using a cherished hunting knife that belonged to a fallen comrade, even though a gun would be faster. Honestly, he can kill a few Ukrainians too, if he wants, just so long as he gets the job done.” At press time, the U.S. Marine Corps had reportedly agreed to send “the craziest motherfucker” it had, just as soon as he had applied his face paint, donned a necklace of severed human ears, and stopped in for chest wax.

    What are some other tankie federated platforms?

    Earlier today a comrade got a pretty good tankie instance for Mastodon on [this post](https://lemmy.ml/post/691206) of theirs. So I was thinking, due such things exist for other federated platforms such as Pixelfed and Peertube? And if so, which are the best for our purposes?

    I've Been Thinking of Starting a Minetest Server

    ![](https://lemmygrad.ml/pictrs/image/72e584b3-5615-4ad3-a5d5-9f4cf1a32e9d.png) ## [**Minetest**](https://www.minetest.net) ### What is Minetest? ::: spoiler Click to expand Minetest is an open source voxel engine, designed for the creation of games in the same vain as Minecraft. In doing so it has a preinstalled, built in game, and vary mature modding API, that allows for the easy creation of mods/games. Furthermore, Minetest's built in game is in a mature state, that is fun to play with or without the aid of mods. ::: ### Why Minetest? ::: spoiler Click to expand The reasoning behind why I chose Minetest is as follows: 1. Minetest is Open Source 2. Minetest requires few system resources to run properly 3. Minetest's main game play loop is that of building/construction, a desire I imagine most of us would like to be able to play with more. ::: #### What is Open Source? ::: spoiler Click to expand Open Source software must make the source code for it freely available, and allow the recipient of it to distribute that source code accordingly. Furthermore, that copy of their source code may be modified by them according to their wishes, without the need to ask for permission from it's original creator. These principles, enforced through the software licenses that use them, have allowed for the community driven development that created the likes of Lemmy, Linux, Android (Largely), VLC Media Player, and more have lead to stable and largely enjoyable user experiences for all of us, in a secure, community driven manner that benefits all of us. ::: #### Why Open Source? ::: spoiler Click to expand The attributes described above allowed us to build our community around this wonderful piece of software (Lemmy), even without prior consent from it's own creators, or being kicked off for being "dirty reds". ::: #### Is Your Computer Fast Enough to Run It? ::: spoiler Click to expand I've gotten the game to run on a laptop with a single core Intel Atom processor with 1GB of RAM, so in all likely hood, you should be able to get this game running on your machine. ::: ### The Cons of Me Doing It. Their are a number of things that could go wrong with my being responsible for doing it however. For example, as I am an Amerikkkan, it is entirely possible that this will be taken down, especialy seeing as the only way I would be able to afford to do this is via a $100 credit I have received for Linode, an Amerikkan cloud provider that would host my server. Furthermore, I am inexperienced with hosting anything online like this, so my ability to correct for DDoS attacks, trolls, and other internet shenanigans would be minimal, leading to long and frequent down times. Finally, as I would be operating this server alone, when I am sleeping or unavailable for work/school/etc any problems in the server would permeate while I'm unable to correct any of it.
