I don’t think they read Lemmy.

Fair I have zero experience owning a boat. However, if I bought a boat for $10K and my annual upkeep was only $1K I’d certainly be thrilled.

NYTimes is the quintessential epitome of the sort of middling liberal apologetics that funnel a society toward fascism. They aren’t friends, they’re a mouthpiece for money.

“Genius kid”? I really dislike the unnecessary and unqualified exoticization. He’s a smart kid, with access to time and resources. The sort of time and resources that any kid - Any person, really - With an interest should have access to. We’d have a lot more “geniuses” in the world if that were the case.

IIRC the rule of thumb for boat costs, is that annual upkeep costs for a boat are roughly the purchase price of the boat.

The elites don’t want you to know this but the boats at the marina are free you can take them home I have 458 boats.

Outside of one-in-a-billion shots like Mangione, we’re still at the discomfort level of unreliable whackadoos being the only ones to try violent direct action. Which means that instead of picking targets that would actually make an impact, they’re picking personally symbolic targets that they have easy, ready access to. And they’re not even hitting those targets with real success / possibly creating innocent collateral in the process.

We aren’t there yet.

I’m gonna give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they were referring to self-hosted Gitlab.

But really anything that lessens reliance on and centralization at Github is an improvement.

Well there you go kids, he just explicitly named exactly all the things you should be doing.

And thank god! They raised me all wrong, I always had existential dread and anxiety from the start so I’m adapted better to this fresh hell than to the end of liberal history I was born into.

freeocalan.org has collected a bunch of them here: ocalanbooks.com

There is weird politicking and bizarre bedfellows happening in Turkish politics right now. Erdogan’s allies to his right are advocating for Ocalan’s release as some sort of diplomatic manuever. Ocalan’s own nephew I believe has made it into parliament as a relatively outspoken Kurd, and I imagine he is doing the same for more personal reasons.

Meanwhile Ocalan has been pumping out some of the most excitingly radical and revolutionary libertarian socialist ideological literary material in the world in our lifetimes from solitary confinement (Yes it’s torture) over the past 15 years, springboarding off the ideas of Murray Bookchin and instructing the PKK to abandon Marxism in favor of Democratic Confederalism, which they mostly appear to have done despite Kurdish culture’s continued cult of personality around him. I can’t help but wonder if this is a test: Turkey wants him to say one thing publicly, and he’s hedging his bets that his comrades will know to not listen.

I’ve always pronounced it “In-jen-iks”. I blame Jurassic Park and it’s fictional biotech company InGen, but it does kinda also sound like “eugenics”. But I dunno man, if you want everyone to pronounce your software a specific way maybe spell it in a manner where the pronunciation is more obvious? Just a thought.

Good cop steps back and lets bad cop have a turn.

Yup. If there was an encrypted, federated solution that provided all of the services that proton does, even if half as polished, I’d absolutely consider switching. I’d even consider running my own node. All centralized solutions that see success also become over time the thing you want to flee.

I’m not on the exit proton bandwagon. All CEOs are awful and I don’t have the energy to do the vote-with-your-dollars ethical consumption dance every time we’re freshly reminded of that fact. Especially not with the only service out there that packages data integrity, privacy, and ease of use in a complete suite at the level that proton does.

Tofu scramble is pretty good. Firm or extra firm tofu block, slice and crumble into a bowl. 1 tbsp turmeric, 1 tbsp black pepper, 1 tbsp garlic powder, mix. Cook in a pan on medium stirring occasionally, will turn yellow as it heats up. Then add key ingredient black salt (kala namak, a salt with a strong sulfur flavor) to taste. Mix in with your pan fry mix of choice, I like onion/garlic/serrano/mushroom/smoked paprika/chili powder/spinach/tomato and green pepper/cilantro added at the end. Serve with fruit and toast.

I missed that phase because I was using Netscape.

I own a lifted hatchback with gravel tires that I occasionally take down timber trails to camp or shoot. That’s maybe why I understood what you meant. But the way it came across, it just sounded like you need to go hiking more :P

MOST humans are not gonna ever be vegan/vegetarian unless forced.

Maybe. What about you, though?
