I like ArchiveBox, but in my experience, it kept on running into issues saving pages, and stopped functioning after it worked the first few times. I really wish there was a more streamlined application that did a similar thing somewhere out there.
I've been looking at Linkwarden's page archiving solution, but it crashes whenever I try importing any large number of links, so that's a bust too.
Reminds me of this great street art I saw posted at some point. Can't find the source though.
And anyone who hurts his feelings, and queer people, and college students, of course.
That's definitely true, I probably should have been a little more clear in my response, specifying that it can run at startup, but doesn't always do so.
I'll edit my comment so nobody gets the wrong idea. Thanks for pointing that out!
To put it very simply, the 'kernel' has significant control over your OS as it essentially runs above everything else in terms of system privileges.
It can (but not always) run at startup, so this means if you install a game with kernel-level anticheat, the moment your system turns on, the game's publisher can have software running on your system that can restrict the installation of a particular driver, stop certain software from running, or, even insidiously spy on your system's activity if they wished to. (and reverse-engineering the code to figure out if they are spying on you is a felony because of DRM-related laws)
It basically means trusting every single game publisher with kernel-level anticheat in their games to have a full view into your system, and the ability to effectively control it, without any legal recourse or transparency, all to try (and usually fail) to stop cheating in games.
Why doesn't it apply to genocide? What's the defining line?
Trump has not only supported the actions of the US in relation to Israel, but he's very clearly heavily racist, an ethnostatist, and would like nothing more than to increase Israel's power as a US ally by letting them genocide the Palestinian population completely regardless of any complaints by his constituents.
Genuinely, which side do you think is more likely to stop if pressured enough by the American people, or by international orgs? Trump, or Kamala? Because, at least personally, I doubt Trump would be more likely to stop it, let alone even just give it less support in general.
If we only have these two candidates to pick between, I'd rather go for the one that we at least have a chance of convincing to stop, rather than one that we know will likely just ignore the American people in favor of his own ideals.
There is no “harm reduction”
There most certainly is. If one side is worse than the other, voting for the one that does less harm reduces (but doesn't eliminate or fix) the harm being done.
I'm not saying it's a solution, it's definitely a bandage on a bleeding wound, but a bandage is better than letting it bleed out.
can you imagine anything that would cause you to not vote for the democrats? If full throated support for genocide isn’t a bridge too far, I have to wonder if you have any absolute principles at all.
If the Democrats implemented policies that would cause greater overall harm than the Republicans, then I would vote the other direction, but that would imply a total switch in partisan policies. (for an example of some policies I support to give you a general idea of what I consider to be harm, I'm a socialist, utilitarian, I believe all lives have equal value, I'm pro-abortion, anti-fascist, I hope you get the gist.)
Voting for the greater evil never gives you a beneficial edge. Voting for nobody when the greater evil benefits from that won't give you a higher likelihood of implementing positive policy in the future.
I absolutely don't support the Democrat's endorsement of a genocide, but acting as if they're the only ones doing it is silly. Trump is very clearly even more genocidal, and would not only implement even worse policy with regard to the Palestinian people, but would also do numerous other genocidal acts here, and in other locations abroad.
Statistically speaking, the only thing that would give the genocide a higher likelihood of ending, when the only two possibilities in this election are Democrats or Republicans, is the Democrats, because they will likely do the least amount of genocide by comparison. If we want any hope of actually stopping the genocide, we first want the most sympathetic party to that idea in power.
But of course, if you don't believe harm reduction as a concept even exists, then I wouldn't expect this argument to convince you. It's fine if you aren't though. You're absolutely entitled to your own opinion, however wrong I may think it to be.
Then I suppose you simply must reject the world we live in right now.
Both sides are going to continue the genocide, we know that, it's their stated positions. The most we can do with our votes in the current election is take a stance of harm reduction, since that's the only choice available. Anything else won't make a change to the system of oppression facing the Palestinians today.
But will they, that's the question.
They have the ability to, but if they won't, then we still end up with the same two choices. And if picking the other side won't make them change their mind, then whatever they can do is irrelevant in a conversation about what will produce the best tangible outcome.
That depends on how you define utilitarianism though.
That minority also factors into a utilitarian's assessment of what will maximize happiness. If 10% of the population hates the 0.1% minority, but oppressing that minority would also harm them, then you have to factor in the relative harm caused to them as well, not just in raw %'s, but also in terms of if the value given to the 10% from their oppression would outweigh the harm done to those being oppressed.
Furthermore, I'd argue most utilitarians would argue that the very hate towards that minority in the first place is what causes harm, not the minority themselves. The best utilitarian action to take would be to reduce the hate for that minority, and increase their acceptableness, rather than oppress that minority to satisfy the 10%. Especially considering we know this tends to not just be a one-time thing, and that hate will likely continue, leading to further oppression over time, and harm not only to the minority, but also to the mental well-being of the 10%. Thus, the best course of action would be to eliminate the hate, not the minority.
Of course, utilitarians aren't a monolith, but that's at least how I would interpret the situation.
IPFS seems similar to what you're looking for.
