Baby, I hope you're posting this comment from inside a tent after a long day of training with your guerilla resistance militia, because it's horseshit and classist to dump on people who are actually doing something, even if that something is just the beginning of what should be done.

I cannot begin to express how over I am hearing the opinions of anyone who has already given up. Playing Red Dawn with your little pistols and rifles and mail-order TEMU body plate armor isn't going to save you against a global military hedgemon with more autonomous missiles than taxpaxong citizens. If you have theory that will fix all this, then get the fuck out there and put it into action and convince us with results. Jesus Christ.

Black American civil rights were struggled for by a rich tapestry of direct action, intellectual analysis, Christian pacifism, liberation through Islam, and Leftist theory and influence. It is not and never was any one thing. Violence was not the only ingredient.

I have been saying it for 6 months straight now, and now, I need you all to say it with me:

No matter what is to come, we. do. not. split.

If you say so. I'm just trying to be helpful instead of offering scare quotes.

There is a cool self-hosted version of Perplexity out there now, called Perplexica. It can be configured to use Ollama (local inferencing) and your own, self-hosted SearXNG instance to do the actual search and collation.

I have been using it for a week and it really works.

Funkwhale works nice, but honestly, I am a big fan of just using mpd and piping the audio over a networked speaker, but I'm a simple boy with simple needs.

Damn, I was looking this publication up on Wikipedia because I hadn't heard of it before. When Radar started in the mid 2000s, it was financed by Epstein.

The magazine Radar published articles on entertainment, fashion, politics, and human interest and was founded and edited by Maer Roshan in September 2003.[7][8][9] After a series of three test issues focused on satire, he relaunched it in 2005 and again in 2006 with help from investors and family members, including Jeffrey Epstein .[10][11][12]

(Emphasis is mine).

It is owned by a completely different set of people now, but, wow. This dude had his beak in everything.

What, do you want me to hang around the paraplegic wing of the hospital? This is way safer for everyone involved.

[–] mitch@piefed.mitch.science 3 points 3 days ago

That was the only real answer.

Deeply satisfying. I have a tin roof on my porch, and every time we have a light rain, I wander out to listen to it like I'm an earthworm.

Congrats on your new baby, Beto O'Rourke.

that's all by bus, really. I live at the top of a hill that used to be used as a qualifier in a professional bicycling circuit. I tried getting up it on pedal power, it's just too much.

I got an eBike recently though, it really does make that hill a breeze.
