The world has been run by fascists before. Hiding is cowardice, and that is EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANT. Don’t give it to them. If you want to die proud of yourself, then get involved in the resistance.

Work on rejecting big tech. Do your part to defund them, don’t give them any money or data if you can.

If you have money to spare, donate to organizations that work to protect our rights. Or donate your time if you have some to spare.

Learn about mesh networks and buy some hardware. It is cheap, a fun hobby, and may become crucial infrastructure at some point in the near future.

Talk to your neighbors, get involved. Read about anarchism and get inspired to act locally to help others. Don’t fret the big picture, just try and leave your little bit of land better than you found it.

And when those fascists come for you and yours, give them hell.

Die proud.

I had the same thought. I signed up to be notified when the project starts, but never got an email.

Perhaps they have just had massive delays, but I too would suggest caution.

That’s exactly what I mean. Just like email, different providers/servers can do things a little differently. I suppose that’s just a side effect of being decentralized.

It is more than most contribute. (⁠ ^ ⁠ᴗ ⁠^ ⁠)

Do you have all those categories for posts? Or is that just a suggestion ?

I use voyager, so I only have media,link,text as options. I must admit, as much as I love the fediverse, it can be a bit confusing sometimes .

Damn, you got some harsh comments for just posting a YT link.

Thanks for posting. We need to grow the fediverse, and low-effort stuff like this helps too.

If the AI slop infects Wikipedia to such an extent that it becomes unusable, then such dusty backups could be very valuable. I completely agree that the issue at hand will not be solved by a simple backup, but it won’t hurt either.

I’m assuming that “phone bo” means phone book? If that’s true then I’m at 20/20.

I plan to live forever. So far, so good.

Hell yeah.

I am the IT guy in my family, I have a bunch of S7s for the wife and kids with eOS, and everybody is more then happy with them.

I got a fairphone 5 a awhile ago for myself, and while it did cost €600+, I wanted the modularity and reparability, I just wanted to support that type of company and try it out. Hopefully I will have it for 10 years or so.

Jokes on you, I’m into this shit.

I have seen these guys live, in a bar deep in the woods of 'sconnie. Those were the days…

The other comment is great, as a plan B this app is what I use for automating just about anything on android.

It takes a little while to get used to the block programming, but it’s fun and can do lots of stuff. The free version should work fine on an alternate android-based OS, but I haven’t checked myself.

Edit: used to use. I haven’t actually been on stock android for a while, and I haven’t used the app in a while either.

“Little to no” gender-affirming surgeries are being performed on minors in the United States, and those that are performed are overwhelmingly on cisgender minors.

Out of the 151 breast reductions that were performed in 2019 on American minors, 146 (97 percent) were performed on cisgender males, according to a new study published in JAMA. Out of the 636 breast reductions performed on adults, 507 (80 percent) were performed on cisgender males.

The study used data from 47,437,919 adults and 22,827,194 minors who were insured that year, finding that chest-related operations accounted for 1,591 out of 2,664 (59.7 percent) of surgical procedures performed on adults, and 82 of 85 (96.4 percent) of surgical procedures performed on minors.

I’d bet that you were one of those cis kids that got his breasts reduced, and like a closeted priest you are publicly shaming what you privately do. But there is no shame in it. It is a non-issue, used by the ultra-wealthy to distract from their hubris.
