John Oliver's segment on Palestinians really cemented it for me: if your family was killed by a missile sold to them by Biden, it's really difficult to support his successor.

Sure you may not want the orange turd either.

But imagine the heartache of voting for the person related to the one who is responsible for the death of your family.

I know I can't. And a part of me feels for them.

What upset me the most is that Harris used Hilary's election plan verbatim. No one stopped to tell Harris that Clinton lost.

Sanders warned her that if she wants a good turn out, she needs to have a plan for the working class.

Instead she wasted weeks trying to get Republican endorsements instead of trying to shore up her base.

I'm just so dumbfounded by how many progressive constitutional amendments got passed but voted Republican.

I just can't comprehend someone saying, "You know, this asshole took away my abortion rights but since I'm voting to restore them, I guess he should get another shot."

These people think that abortion amendments are going to hold when their dear leader is in the White House.

Nah at this point, Putin is ready to fuck Donnie in the pooper.

It's funny that the last time this was floated by Republicans, they thought they were kicking the Democrat states out.

In other words, they thought they were keeping the Federal government.

Republican states need Democrat states far more than vice versa.

If Trump truly does win, Republicans won't split the country. They'll make it even more impossible to leave.

Because of Racism

So kind of like how farm cooperatives work (I think?)?

There's a guy at the farmers market that offers "shares" of cows. I can't remember the details but you pay for a certain "guaranteed" pounds of beef plus sausage made from other parts (not guaranteed to be one cow), a long with some other meats (chicken, etc). When the cow is slaughtered, you get your meat.

It's nowhere near as far. The odds of someone on the right intimidating voters because of a foreign looking last name has been proven to be near 1 whereas there are no reported instances of the left doing the same.

There are no "both sides" on this issue. Only one side who wants to hurt the other.

Doesn't i2p do something similar to this? I don't know much about it but I remember reading it and thinking that it's like bittorrent but no one person has the entire file, or something like that.

A right-wing social media influencer was sentenced to seven months in federal prison on Wednesday for spreading falsehood

Good to know that disenfranchising voters is only 7 months. That's like the length of a school year.

I think the onion is stealing my thoughts. I had this thought that this is how Republicans could trick people on not voting. Basically going to "those" areas and pretending to be election workers getting people to cast a "ballot” early. And then telling them that they don't need to show up on election day.

TBF, forgot password workflows often include a second factor authentication (e.g. access to an email address and answering questions).

Your wife might be above average in OPSEC than someone who constantly uses the same password everywhere.

 

Which is it?!

This headline came up in my news feed, from a very dubious source so I decided to investigate.

Headline after headline, many from identical sources, about how Walmart and Bank of America are either going to stop taking $1 bills or keep accepting them. The headlines read like a FUD article and I refuse to click through to read the details.

I can't find a reputable news source for this story so I'm assuming it's fake news.

It shouldn't be this easy to manipulate news feeds.

 

I've been searching around for a copy of the Resolute Letter that Trump left for Biden. The letters are typically released within a few days of entering office but this was never done because Biden wanted to talk to Trump first before doing so.

It's been almost four years. Surely it's been done by now and I can't seem to find any article with the letter or anything on the official White House website. I'm tempted to submit a FOIA request for it but wasn't sure where to start.

 

fmovies has been gone almost a month. I should have added "FBI" up there but really they used FBI to shoot down the service, not be like them.

I don't understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.

I started using sudo-lol and seems okay. Streaming can be hinky at times but it works for most of the things I want to watch.

I know that torrenting can be a thing but sometimes I just want to watch and not deal with a whole finding a torrent, download, and then watch workflow.

 

I know it occasionally has service disruptions, but it usually comes back up after a day or so. Fmovies has been down for almost the entire week for me.

Anyone else having issues?

Good day self-hosters! I'm not exactly sure what to call what I'm looking for besides a "clipboard". Let me describe my problem and what my ideal solution is.

At work, I get a lot of slack DMs that ask for the same information. It's not consistent to the point I would just pin the information in my Windows 11 clipboard. But it's often enough that I'd prefer to give people the same information each time it's asked.

I'm limited in what I can build on my work computer. In an ideal world, I'd do what Gilfoyle did and make and bot but I lack the time and skills for such a task. Right now, I solve this with a very long notepad, which is subject to copy/paste errors. If I don't highlight everything correctly or if I accidentally copy over an existing line. That kind of thing.

What I was thinking was a very simple website where the items I'm copying are in tiles that can be tagged and searched. Once I find what I'm looking for, I can click the button to copy it to my clipboard and then go on with my life.

Due to restrictions on my work computer, I cannot host containers or host a website, though a fully self-contained HTML page with javascript I could do.. Ideally this is something that can be build using Github Pages build with Jekyll but so far, I haven't found a theme that mimics the behavior I'm looking for and I lack the time (though not the skills) to build it.

I'd prefer the github route so that I can share the page with others on my team who get asked similar questions.

I am also able to deploy a website via Github Pages (with .nojekyll).

I have to think something similar to this already exists but I imagine the restrictions on having no backend might be the challenge. Love to hear your thoughts!

Edit: added context for Gilfoyle

Thank you all for the great suggestions. I should have added in this post that my work does not allow software with Copyleft (Don't get me started. I'm a strong copyleft advocate and it annoys me that my company only takes and never gives back to OSS). I'm going to give TiddlyWiki out. License is friendly with my work, seems simple enough to run.

That said, Logseq seems to be pretty interesting as well. Might try this out on my on machine to see if I like it.
