Plenty of answers here but I don't think anyone has answered this part:

Surely they would have a much easier time pushing their rhetoric and establishing their agenda by keeping a purposeful distance from that sort of indefensible imagery and symbolism.

So here's my take ...

Musk did the sig heil as a fuck you to everyone that doesn't like him. That's it.

They just won the election by basically lying, ignoring, and playing for time. They can literally do whatever the fuck they like for the next n years with impunity.

Imagine if Harris had won and in her victory speech said something like "Don't worry Don, I'll make sure they give you diapers in jail." It would've been a low blow but we would've loved her for it because it's poking fun at the conservatives for no other reason than to stir them up.

I think there's another, longer conversation to be had about why racism (and by extension nazism) resonates with voters in 2025, but I'm too weary for that I think.

Where I live in Western Australia they're not ripping bike lanes out per se, but existing bike infrastructure is just pitiful, and improvements are so painfully slow.

There's just no cycling culture here. It's considered a sport rather than a mode of transport.

It's not really clear whether scooters are going to have a positive impact by increasing demand for this infrastructure, or a negative impact by increasing animosity towards anything which is not a car.

What does that really mean though?

Pretty sure any city would tell you that they're doing their best to improve public transport.

The only question is whether their efforts would meet your subjective definition of "public transport first".

I don't even see the code. All I see is heading, emphasis, dot-points ...

I just don't see the point of obsidian et al.

Just use a directory structure and save markdown files in it.

There are many apps that are great editors for this structure on every platform. IDK exactly what obsidian does but many editors have zettelkasten (fancy cross links) functionality, just no fancy graph.

Ghostty + helix is the sexxy RN.

Hol up. Are notes stored in files in a directory structure or a single file? Just that you said "the file" so I'm wondering.

If so, that's lock in.

That's the whole point of markdown lmfao.

Yeah I don't think either of them would care in the slightest about this type of polling.

Entirely predictable.

Trump was mocking the voting public on presidents day with that "Long live the king" quip.

That said, it's just bonkers that 40% of voters feel like things are going in the right direction. Honestly the whole thing is cooked.

Yeah.

Sadly I think email will be with us for the foreseeable future. It's broken, sure... but it's just so fundamental to the web.

An alternative would need to be ubiquitous, and that seems unachievable.

There's a number of problems with this.

It would only work if enough communities and instances adhered rigidly to similar editorial decisions about what is "political". I don't think that's achievable.

Mods would have to do the heavy lifting in tagging/ untangling things.

It's not going to be as simple to implement as you think.

Posts are already categorised by community. You can block the vast majority of political posts by blocking a few communities and users.

At times if filtered out keywords like Musk and Trump. You don't really need to implement a feature for this. Just get posters to include a tag in the title of their post.

Looking at your other comments, you're not going to be deterred by these criticisms, so my suggestion would be to find the git repo and create an issue to get some proper feedback from other contributors.

It's 6 months old.

Reported on by some major news outlets.

AfD has form for doing exactly this kind of ambiguous gesture.

Old mate didn't provide any fascinating insights into the manufacturing practices of soviet era communism, they just trotted out some meme-level anti-capitalist vibe-based hyperbole.

Edit: nevermind. Turns out my email host is already running spamassassin and I can configure it how I wish.

My email is hosted at mxroute. I'm happy with their pricing and service and don't want to selfhost my email. However, their spam management isn't great.

I just realised that it might be possible to run spamassassin myself, which will set spam headers on the emails which my email client (thunderbird) can then use to decide what to do.

There seems to be a bunch of poorly maintained / abandoned ways in which to do this. I thought I'd ask here just in case any one else is doing this and can help me skip to the end.

I was hoping for a docker container (or compose stack) that provides an IMAP proxy and runs spamassassin.

Any ideas and insights welcome. My email juggling could use some improvement.
