Why not both? Republicans lock the fuck in when it comes to voting in just enough locations to flip seats. They turn out to vote in the necessary areas, where democrats don’t.

I might not be able to change any republican’s mind by telling them they are stupid as hell for voting the way they do (or give them facts that they would just ignore), but I can show up and encourage all my friends and family to vote against a fascist in our red district.

There is a movie that kind of approaches this concept-- the Terminal. The main guy, while in the airport, sees his country erupt in a war on TV and his nation is dissolved. He can’t go back since all flights to and fro have been canceled. He hasn’t passed customs, so he isn’t legally in the country. So he kind of has to live off the facilities in the airport.

I’ll bring my activism organizing experience over there happily, just figuring out the best way to move over. New job + getting a place requires a residence permit, which requires having an address already

Already have a family sponsor so just need the two other things to fall in place.

I feel this trying to move to the Netherlands. My only solace is that the quality of life there is so measurably better there than it is where I am now. They would have to fall a lot further to get to the same dogwater conditions as the US, so there is some buffer time.

That is unfortunate. I haven’t used that in awhile, but when it worked it was relatively easy

Glad to see more alternatives around. I have been using pairdrop.net, but it fails pretty readily on large transfers since it needs a constant connection. I’ve also tried transfer.sh in the past (lets you set an expiry and password if using with commandline) but I don’t think that encrypts automatically and it stays on their server.

IIRC, Netherlands tried to limit long term airbnb in multiple cities, but the data has shown that long term rental prices still increase over time. Some cities’ airbnb regulation has actually raised rent prices due to the further limited supply.

More housing needs to be built. Granted, I haven’t looked into if there are any limits on corporate ownership of housing, regulations that make contruction more expensive, or what the percentage of communal housing cooperatives/rent-to-buy is, which could also make a difference compared to other countries.

I read in another comment that there is a type of rubber bullet that has a steel ball inside- if those are shot at the floor and bounce, the ricochet can result in something like the reporter that needed calf surgery. Either way, it is fucked. Bring a cup like you’d use for football to protect your groin, and I read that skateboard helmets tend to offer more protection from the side and back of your head. I wouldn’t bring a kid if there is a chance of armed civil enforcement.

You forgot the most important part!

We need the people who don’t go online, or orly watch corporate news networks and only use corporate social media to notice, get interested and join in. We don’t need to tell people in the echo chamber about the shit that is happening, we need to tell our neighbors, coworkers, and local politicians- to let them know that there are people who notice and want change. We won’t beat corporate funded media in their game.

Would love to share the source for the turnout estimates around, if you have it handily!

Just shared in another comment, instead of doing this you can also use http://playit.gg/ to create a proxy without requiring an account and also not requiring port forwarding. They lease you a domain name, too

i’ve been using http://playit.gg/ to set up a simple proxy that i can share with my friends! You just forward the port that jellyfin uses and share the link (and it works for all manner of other servers)

I’ve been using the fork Outertune, which seems more compatible with youtube music sync across devices, if you care about that

Real RTCW is available on steam for free with a bunch of user-made campaigns (+ other mods) on the workshop, too!

Obligatory notice that they rescinded the memo, but not the action. There is still a pause. The EO on federal funding still remains.

As far as I understand, the training data is closed source. But, the methodology of training is open source which allows independent parties to recreate the model from scratch and see similar results. Not only can you download the full >400GB model using huggingface or ollama, but they also offer distilled versions of the model which are small enough to run on something like a raspberry pi. i’m running it locally on my machine at home with perplexica (perplexity.ai lookalike with searching capabilities)

Although I realize something like this might not be possible, i’d love (in a theoretical perfect world) a delegative/liquid federation. where you can “delegate” your blocklist be an aggregate of other people’s blocklist, which would allow a community of users independent of any admin to create a decentralized blocklist based upon mutual trust. To word it with an example, if I trust user A, who in turn trusts user B and C’s idea of who(/what communities) to block, i’ll then be blocking the same people as user B and C.

It could work in reverse too, if I trust user A who allows anime communities and user B who allows game communities, then I can see anime and game communities. If people trust me, they can see the same thing i’m seeing. Imo that would spur user interaction and make a decentralized way to not put any one person in power. If user B suddenly decides to only trust fascists, I don’t have to trust them anymore and those changes would be propagated.

I don’t know if that made sense, so sorry if that explanation is wack! It is loosely based on this concept that I read from awhile ago, for which I haven’t thought of the possible downsides.

I was worried about this and had to check, the executive order text has a section which states it only applies to those born 30 days after the signing of the EO. Who knows what the fuck the supreme court will extrapolate that to, though.

Have you tried out any romhacks? the ones coming out recently are great! launchers like parallel launcher integrate with websites like https://romhacking.com/ Whole new experience of the game with new moves and scenery.
