Probably another unrelated problem then

I’ve been suspecting that something was up. Idk I don’t have any way to prove it and maybe the recall event hasn’t been going on this long but for the past several months I’ve noticed that the date on meat is way farther in the future than it should be. Stuff I’ve gotta buy up and use today is marked “sell by next week”.

Anyone else notice this? Maybe it’s unrelated

I’m not looking for a politician to take anything seriously. I am looking for we the people to remake this godforsaken place, and that means implementing our goals directly, which includes dismantling every police station and sheriff’s office.

Seriously the police are kidnapping people at random and you still don’t get that the system is broken?

I’m not so unreasonable to assume that no one who is currently wearing a badge and gun can rehabilitate themselves into productive members of society, but the systems that they work as a part of need shut the fuck down.

To begin to analyze this we have to have clear, simple definitions of the left and right. I think it very easily maps on to authoritarianism vs. freedom. You could take “being racist” as a right-wing position and say “but they want to be free to do that”, but freedom only extends until you’re compromising someone else’s freedom, then it’s power. Whether it’s about being racist, controlling trans people or queer people, or whatever it is, the right worships one thing and that is power.

When you do that, by the very nature, it’s more easy to be organized and disciplined. There’s no one to push back on orders from above no matter how dumb because that’s the goal. If we try to strive for their level of organization and discipline, we become like them. We have to stop, every moment, and make sure that what we’re doing is something being consented to by the wider community. That’s just the nature of the fight.

And I don’t think it will ever end. There will always be this tension between permissiveness and discipline. We’ve just been stuck in the disciplined, authoritarian mode, since the authoritarians gained the upper hand by stealing the Americas.

If you’re looking for more reading along these lines I believe Graeber and Wengrow talk about this in The Dawn of Everything. But I’m also drawing from my own experience and understanding.

“No more police” is a pretty simple idea that seems to have slipped by you so idk

Mixxx is gonna be the closest you can get as far as I’m aware. You can use the auto-DJ feature to have it play the next song.

OVH has been reliable and boring afaik

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org thank you

Sure is something that you made this post about how “hey wow I’m seeing a lot of racism” and the racists immediately show up and go “well, yeah, why aren’t you racist?”

I think that answers your question 😅

Say that shit to my face and see what happens, racists.

“Society” hasn’t survived in this state for millennia, it reeks of white supremacy to suggest there’s some monolithic thing the world over called “society”. The phenomenon OP is talking about has been a part of western european and especially American culture for a century or two, but other societies exist now and in the past

That was the thing that made me think reticulum was worth pursuing actually. It does work over a lot of stuff besides lora. You can mesh WiFi routers or other protocols. The issue is bandwidth ota since so much is dedicated to commercial stuff, but you can route reticulum over that including through i2p for anonymity. Meshtastic very much focuses on lora only, reticulum does not.

Idk if it’s so simple. I’m a part of some community efforts along those lines and inventory management still needs done. Not to say “your dream is impossible”, quite the contrary. Recognize the radical template that the library gives us!

It’s fine

How do you orchestrate all those lxc containers and vms?

Focus locally, consider first your own community, first in fact then in metaphor. I mean, focus first on what’s actually going on around you, in person. Not plugged in enough to understand that? There are lots of people who need help. Volunteer with your local food not bombs, outreach group, or food pantry.

Then if you need to consider events outside your community, think about how they would map onto your own community and how people you really know would act and react.

Of course this only works if you’re not a gentrifier or trying to maintain segregation or anything like that. You’ve gotta recognize what you have in common with the guy on the street more than the rich fucks that dominate the news.

ITT: people hating on touchscreens

Also ITT: people pointing out really good reasons to have a touch screen.

Too poor to afford the theater but everyone’s talking about the latest movie.

That user might be in the slim minority but they do exist and I appreciate them taking that into account and taking seriously the security of people who aren’t super technical.
