Remember when they got mad after Trump said “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters”? They said it was cult-like behavior by his followers.

But when Biden bombs children, or backs a genocide, it’s somehow not cult-like behavior to keep supporting him.

awesome, I’ll check that out

Chris Crawford was talking about this problem in 1992 and we still haven’t learned anything

The Dragon Speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CBrj4S24074

I couldn’t find a transcription, and it covers a lot more than education, but it’s a good speech. The relevant part starts at ~12:45

I forget where I heard the quote, but:

Stack Overflow is a great place to find answers. Stack Overflow is a terrible place to ask questions.

But it’s never enforced. I get a lot of spam from US companies that don’t have working unsubscribe mechanisms, and I report it all the time, but nothing is ever done about it.

It’s always been super spotty for me. Sometimes it doesn’t work for a few hours, sometimes for a few days. It usually ends up working again after a bit. I ended up moving to mostly using yt-dlp instead, as it’s more consistent. I don’t know of a more reliable phone-option tho :(

I use LUKS and backup to a usb-drive that I have at home. I rsync those backups to my work once a week. Not everyone can backup to their office, but as others have said, backing up to a friend/family member’s house is doable. The nice thing about rsync is that you can limit the bandwidth, so that even though it takes longer, it doesn’t saturate their internet connection.

Behind the Insurrectionists

A lot of what he talks about prior to previous insurrections are pretty similar to what’s happening now.

Let me donate directly to Firefox development. Stop giving their terrible executives giant piles of money.

One of my favorite examples of this: Leviticus 11:13-19

“These are the birds you are to detest and not eat because they are detestable: the eagle, the vulture, the black vulture, the red kite, any kind of black kite, any kind of raven, the horned owl, the screech owl, the gull, any kind of hawk, the little owl, the cormorant, the great owl, the white owl, the desert owl, the osprey, the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.”

Most of these are either scavengers, or eat rodents which carry diseases that are awful to humans. The societies that ate them didn’t tend to last long.

The unsubscribe button from audiobooksnow.com gives me a 404. I’m guessing that’s not by accident. Fuck them, never buy from them unless you want a bunch of spam

I use rsync for a similar system. One of the nice things is that you can set a bandwidth limit so that it doesn’t saturate your family’s internet connections.

Ah, I haven’t seen that in forever. I guess me forgetting is a sign that I need to re-watch it

What is this from? That looks awesome!

Hrm, that doesn’t seem to work. I’m on piefed, not lemmy, so I wonder if that is the issue
