The only people I know who are trained blacksmiths (all two of them) are both women

Yep we just have to keep at our cardio :P

Yeah I realized that as I was typing it. Our population grew so damn fast. Granted, three million or so of those don’t have citizenship or permanent residency, and are a rotation of temporary students or workers. A lot are expected to leave (a lot are also expected to becomes PRs).

3/4 people resisting is probably a pipe dream anyway, so 30 million dissidents from Canada alone isn’t likely in a worst case Ontario.

Precisely, and it can stay pseudo-anonymous. A trusted third party (Governments? Banks? A YMCA gym membership?) issuing a hashed certificate or token is all that’s needed. You don’t need to know my name, age, gender: but if you could confirm that I DO have those attributes, and X, Y, and Z parties confirmed it, then it’s likely I’m a human.

We need digital identities, like, yesterday.

Now is about the time I need to make my obligatory recommendation that you check out the [free] fan-made audiobooks by voice actor, Phil Dragash:

I have listened to these at least once per year since 2015 (holy smokes, that’s a decade!), and they are still the best audiobooks I have ever listened to. They utilize music and sound effects from the movies, and Phil has an uncanny ability to replicate many of the movie star’s voices. I cannot recommend it enough!

He also hasn’t considered the destruction that 30 million occupied dissidents (from a country known for their prolific war crimes) can unleash on their oppressor.

Yeah, because sending them to guantanamo, children and women included, is so humane. Good thing they won’t be in America where they are ‘slaves’.

I’m in the middle of CS50 right now. Wow. This is a huge loss for everybody. I’ll be archiving the 2025 course for posterity.

Under facism dog whistles quickly become crimes

A tool that uploads and updates videos across multiple platforms while syncing descriptions, tags, etc is something that would be incredibly handy for creators while also being something that PeerTube could piggyback off of. “Why not upload my video to another platform I’ve never heard of? It can only lead to more exposure.”
