It's spez so of course they're going to go for NSFW subs. Pretty sure that'll just cause people to move to Onlyfans and other, already NSFW platforms.
Can't really see anyone paying for sub access apart from porn.
All of them have really bad audio and as such, they're completely useless.

Siis näkyyhän se ihan tänne ulospäin myös.
En jaksa katsoa miten just sopuli voi, mutta yleinen fediverse trendi ollut alaspäin (aktiiviset käyttäjät). Jengit meni kai takaisin redditiin ja twitteriin sen alkuinnostuksen jälkeen.
I've been politically active most of my life and I've voted (I've got a dual citizenship, so I can vote in two countries, which I've done), however, as I've grown older and am now nearing retirement age, I've realized the futility of it all. The same elite politicians are still in power. They still top their party ballots ("the big names", "heavy hitters") and normally get auto-elected to the parliament. They are creatures that live within the system and thus the system never changes. Issues haven't been solved - at most we've reached some kind of muddled centrist consensus and agreement that "this is what it is" - there's actually very little reform and every mandate period with sways a bit, like a wave reaching to hit the beach to wash away the sand castle but not quite reaching.
The old truism of "people being more conservative as they age" has been completely opposite for me. In my youth I was probably liberal, slightly right leaning democrat - these days I'm very firmly anti-authoritarian and anti-capitalist libertarian socialist and believe in self-governance and workers' self-management. I organize whatever I can in my local community but I've stopped voting (I don't resent anyone else for voting - please do if you believe it's useful).
When it comes to the political system in the U.S - I have opinions of course. Largely irrelevant, since I don't live there, but I find it hard to "fix" something that wasn't designed to be fixed in the first place. Cory alluded to it in his post, but the founding form of the union was not really intended for greater social justice, cultural realization or to allow the repressed to politically participate. It was for a small group (the political elite) to rule on behalf of wealth of the nation, and the majority’s decision-making was confined to choosing among a select number of their peers within tightly controlled elective processes.
It sort of "consensual domination" made possible by the concentration of global capital, which allows concentration of political power. I think it's hard to fix something that was designed to sail off course. I think the better option would be to change the system.
But I don't deny that we could make it better. Considerably so. Many of those things you list would improve and reform. But in the end it would still be the same system.
Sorry for the wall of text. Not sure if that made much sense - I hope it was somewhat coherent and not just my braincells having a spat of ADHD.
Self-host? Or use VPN to connect.
Cory, as always, "gets it". There's some real gems in his text - like:
Trumpism didn't come out of nowhere – Trump is way too stupid and undisciplined to be a cause – he's an effect.
And while I do respect his goals of reigniting the embers of American labor movement, I think I'm personally done with the current form of representative democracy. I know self-organizing autonymous communities aren't realistic, but I think I'd rather stand outside and wait for the collapse of the status quo, than actually try to patch obviously sinking boat.
But it's a great piece. Well worth a read.
Threatening us with good times? I think I'll stick to Mutt.
Enterprise antivirus products have had PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) category forever. Seems its categorized as "HackTool" so not malware.
It's the circle of enshittification
Wait, I thought there wasn't going to be a sequel? Did I miss something?
TLDR in text please. Not going to spend 16 minutes watching that.

"War on Clean Energy" would seem like an impossible political platform to run on in 2024, but here we are. The U.S is exceptionally special, it seems. And I don't really mean that in a good way.
Well, that's good. The less features the site has the better. Here's to hoping they'll fade to obscurity!

Economy 2.0 is next week I think (hope!) - so this is just vanilla breakage.
The obvious recommendation is Gentoo stage1 tarball running in Windows Linux Subsystem.

Been using Nebula for a while now. Going to miss some YouTube creators, but I'll expect to get over it.

Pulling this off requires high privileges in the network, so if this is done by intruder you're probably having a Really Bad Day anyway, but might be good to know if you're connecting to untrusted networks (public wifi etc). For now, if you need to be sure, either tether to Android - since the Android stack doesn't implement DHCP option 121 or run VPN in VM that isn't bridged.
My current Dell XPS 13 has been my trusty old companion for the past 4.5 years and I'm very happy with it. Inevitably, the battery isn't what it used to be anymore - it won't reach full charge anymore and discharges in 2-3 hours of normal use (webrowsing, coding etc).
I could replace the battery, but at 4.5 years, I guess it's time for an upgrade.
My general requirements:
- Good Linux support
- Portable (13-14")
- Great battery life
- Good keyboard
- A nice screen that doesn't have too much glare
- At least 16Gb RAM / 1Tb SSD
This is my work machine so I'm not especially budget-sensitive. Durable build would be awesome, I travel quite a lot and it gets banged around in my bag. I work in cybersecurity and do coding, so it doesn't need "content creator" features. The less "bells and whistles", the better. I'd love a microSD-card slot. I think I'd melt of happiness if it also has a HDMI port. I don't game on this machine (except chess.com, lol) , so don't really need gfx performance. I don't need touchscreen or 2-in-1 functions. Reasonable mic/cam - but I think that's pretty much given on a modern high-end laptop..
I'm thinking I'm probably going with new Dell XPS 13 or some ThinkPad variant, but I'd be happy to hear some suggestions and experiences (both good and bad) of recent purchases from the community.
Ps. Framework/System76 don't ship here. Unfortunately. I'm stuck with the big-corpo brands.
