I’m trying it now, seems okay so far. I tried it a few months ago and it was unusable, so it’s improved.

Yeah its not clear to me what matrix 2.0 is either, seems like spec changes? Nothing here about synapse (the python matrix server), or the go one.

mysql -> mariaDB

You need to shame muslims more for not supporting the people bombing them. That seems to be working out well for you below.

Western supremacy and defense of colonialism is the cornerstone of liberalism, so they will, just like all the liberals did during the US war on Iraq, vietnam, and every other war.

Damn Jill stein wants to disband the 4th reich, imperialist arm of the anglo-camp? Sounds rad.

Try asking the maintainers for clarification or an update on anything. They’re gone.

Does anyone know of any massive double blind study where they see what actual mp3 bitrate where people stop being able to tell the difference in quality?

I’ve tried and can’t tell the difference between any 320kbps and lossless.

I used to do this, but todo.txt is a dead format now unfortunately, the maintainers left a long time ago. Tasks.org is where its at, open-source, sync how you want, tagging, recurring tasks.

I’d also like to add that hitler was very specific about his desire to emulate the US model of colonialism: and do to eastern europe, what the US had already done to its native peoples.

The only difference between lebensraum and manifest destiny, is that bourgeois democracy was far more effective at indigenous genocide than fascism was.

The USA genocided an entire continent under it’s current form of government, and committed and is still committing countless other atrocities. Look at what Europe did to Africa and Asia under that same form.

Bourgeois parliamentarism is a much more stable shell for colonialism than any other form of government has proven to be. Demonizing a dead form of colonialism (fascism) lets them off the hook, and never forces them to look at what their own governments are currently doing. They get to keep their chauvinist / supremacist myth about “liberal democracy” being the superior form of government, without challenging it.

I need to make a bot to post this any time fascism gets mentioned.

The western left’s use of the term fascism, is borderline white-supremacist at this point. Fascism was a form of colonialism that died by the 1940s, and is only allowed to be demonized in public discourse, because it was a form of colonialism directed also against white europeans. It was defeated, and Germany / Italy / Japan reverted to the more stable form of government for colonialism (practiced by the US, UK, France, the Netherlands, Australia, etc): bourgeois parliamentarism.

British, european, and now US colonizers were doing the exact same thing, and killing far more people for hundreds of years in the global south, yet you don’t hear ppl scared of their countries potentially "adopting parliamentary democracy”. They haven’t changed, and their wealth is still propped up by surplus value theft from the super-exploitation of hundreds of millions of low-paid global south proletarians.

This is why you have new leftists terrified that the UK or US or europe “might turn fascist!!”, betraying that the atrocities propagated by those empires against the global south was and is completely acceptable.

Make no mistake about it: parliamentary / bourgeois democracy is not only a more stable form of government, it’s also far more effective at carrying out colonialism, and killing millions of innocent people.

Such a good episode. Julian is a character that starts out pretty insufferable, but grows as a character and you come to love him.

I’m told heated electric carpets are dope, but they aren’t common where I live so I’ve never tried one out.

This was a really good, philosophically powerful read. It reminded me of Marx’s alienation, but for urban ecology; humanity creating capital to serve it, but humanity ends up serving capital, but for the places we live: the suburban hell. Capitalism creates these liminal, disconcerting spaces where we feel totally alienated from our environment, where everyone is not really “living”, just on there way somewhere. No loitering or enjoyment of life is allowed.

Mastodon users love US prosecutors with a history of scandals it seems. Or they’re just ignorant of that history.

Anyone else get the sense that a Hillary-style astroturfing campaign is getting started now?
