premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America.

I’m guessing only 1% of America was shocked.

The issue is more about tieing such a great point (general strike) to something divisive and unrelated (bitcoin). It muddies the message of the former while attracting discussion about the latter.

On top of that, I can’t imagine what the barricades will look like if bitcoin is required/accepted there. If money is involved, the revolution is already lost.

Where truth isn’t censored

Self-hosting seems your only option then. You might be cut off from other instances if they decide to defederate, but at least on your instance you’ll be able to enjoy free speech (and block unwanted speech).

I don’t see many self-hosters celebrating the wonders of capitalism.

Same here. I don’t see how she would manage, she’s not THAT technical. I told her she’d probably be good for another few years barring breaking updates. Beyond that, she’ll need to find someone to retrieve any content she wants to keep. For this reason, I keep all photos with a paid service (ente) as I don’t want to risk her losing those.

INB4: she = MY wife, not yours :)

It truly is! I’m seeing some politicians move away from X, gamers away from Windows, now the TikTok exodus. A ray of hope in these troubled times.

Finished: The Hour of the Predator by Giuliano da Empoli. Very underwhelming after having made great promises. The book draws parallels between modern “leaders” and Cesare Borgia, but due to the tight structure (1 leader per chapter) and the many irrelevant anecdotes of the author’s time among “important” people, the parallels never get examined closely or even in an interesting manner.

Currently reading: thanks to this Lemmy post I discovered the Garth Marenghi books. I’m now 20 pages into the first one, TerrorTome, and I like it a lot. The typical Garth voice, serious and funny at the same time, setting up another silly story. I can’t wait to pick it back up.

In the past gods absolved kings. Nowadays money absolves capitalists. Very convenient indeed.

hey now, not so cynical. They launch a probe, money transfers hands, THEN nothing will be done.

They have 20~25% in Belgium so far. Let’s hope Trump sufficiently shows these voters that fascism isn’t all that great.

“I think what the [Venezuelan] government is really negotiating is how to save its own skin,” said López Maya.

Seems spot on. Politicians never change.

It’s very hard to break up a flow to have to google. :D I found a cheatsheet that I will keep open on another monitor, that should help. I reckon going through the Vim Tutor every day should help me get the basics down quickly.

Thanks for the tips, my hope to switch away from IDEs is higher than ever!

Wow great tip, thanks!!!

Sub renewal is coming up in July. I’m seriously wondering whether I can get these vim bindings down before then.

Loved the bands on there!

They just follow their masters, not their voters.

I always felt Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace deserves more recognition.
