Also addressed in the video! Neither I nor the video creator has any stake in what you choose to do, and I’d prefer not to rehash the whole video for you since it’s right there for you to watch if you’re interested in this topic, but the main points were generally about reducing subscription costs and gaining better control of content (e.g. no surprise removals of music, videos, and ebooks).

Persist with the video! The text-to-speech is only for a couple of quick screens - the rest is very personal, and they cover a bunch of use cases.

If you really don’t want to, the server OS they recommend around two-thirds of the way through is YunoHost, a beginner-friendly way to run services as containers on any capable spare computer. The YunoHost website has a bunch of use cases that are also covered in the video.

Do we have any evidence or indication of that, other than this one spurious article?

The New Yorker has an article limit, but their entire article is just this BlueSky post. Image follows.

I agree about the latter, he’s a centrist Democrat at best, but he’s got a lot at stake directly opposing the Trump administration on their latest actions as the US slips into dictatorship, and I’d hardly call that cowardice.

1990s experimental ecological project Biosphere 2

I’ve never read about this! It cost $200 million and was a failure - the soil microbes used much more oxygen than expected and the resulting carbon dioxide reacted with the concrete walls to make calcium carbonate, so neither the human “crew” nor the plants had enough to breathe.

Quick reminder that if we’re hearing it from Bannon, there’s an agenda being pushed, and it’ll be in Trump’s best interests. Nice to hear about infighting, though.

All well and good in theory, but after bribing a barmaid called “Anon” for a lead, my group have now been directed to talk to a halfling in the corner of the tavern by the name of “Hamas”.

It’s not an insecure app per se, but it is an uncontrolled app, in the context of an organisation’s communication. Some of the GOP have tried to imply that it’s the product that’s at fault, but it’s user error all the way.

Wouldn’t prominent Russians only say stuff like this publicly if they wanted to sow discord? Trump’s words and actions - especially with respect to Ukraine - make it clear that he and Putin are friendly, but statements like this seem like they undermine Trump at a time where it’s beneficial to Russia for him to be supported and further empowered. It confuses me.

Other than the ~21% of the population under voting age and the ~48% of the voting electorate who voted for Harris / Walz. Everyone suffers under these changes except for the wealthy.

Born in Missouri and lives in New York! I think the article was just hammered out very quickly without much proofreading.

We’ve been in this world of upside where a lone wolf is on a wilding spree through the federal government, clear not operating at anyone’s direction but his own. And yet the President is at least okaying it all after the fact. And thus our system can’t really makes sense of what’s happening. Yes, it’s almost all illegal even or in a sense especially if the President is authorizing it. And…

I feel like I’m having a stroke.

You misread my comment.

I agree with all of this. But “not allies” and “in bed with fascists” are markedly different accusations. I still don’t see it as helpful to paint Democratic representatives as being welcoming of fascism – once you step into the rhetorical window of “they didn’t do enough to halt fascism, so they’re basically fascists too”, you lose the ability to call out actual fascism.

The Democrats are a moderate right-wing party

Indeed, I said that already.

done more to keep actual left-wingers out of power

“The two-party system is driven by self-interest and inherently protects capitalism” is substantially more nuanced and accurate than “Democrats want fascism”. The latter is still unhelpful and, in the main, untrue.
