premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America.
I’m guessing only 1% of America was shocked.

News@lemmy.world•Pam Bondi still can’t give release date for delayed Epstein files a month after missing deadline
6·4 days agoThe issue is more about tieing such a great point (general strike) to something divisive and unrelated (bitcoin). It muddies the message of the former while attracting discussion about the latter.
On top of that, I can’t imagine what the barricades will look like if bitcoin is required/accepted there. If money is involved, the revolution is already lost.

Self-hosting seems your only option then. You might be cut off from other instances if they decide to defederate, but at least on your instance you’ll be able to enjoy free speech (and block unwanted speech).
politically neutral <> pirate party

I don’t see many self-hosters celebrating the wonders of capitalism.

3·4 days agoSame here. I don’t see how she would manage, she’s not THAT technical. I told her she’d probably be good for another few years barring breaking updates. Beyond that, she’ll need to find someone to retrieve any content she wants to keep. For this reason, I keep all photos with a paid service (ente) as I don’t want to risk her losing those.

Books@lemmy.world•What book(s) are you currently reading or listening to? January 27
6·5 days agoFinished: The Hour of the Predator by Giuliano da Empoli. Very underwhelming after having made great promises. The book draws parallels between modern “leaders” and Cesare Borgia, but due to the tight structure (1 leader per chapter) and the many irrelevant anecdotes of the author’s time among “important” people, the parallels never get examined closely or even in an interesting manner.
Currently reading: thanks to this Lemmy post I discovered the Garth Marenghi books. I’m now 20 pages into the first one, TerrorTome, and I like it a lot. The typical Garth voice, serious and funny at the same time, setting up another silly story. I can’t wait to pick it back up.

If it does not work for nazi, surely the theory must be invalid.

I love wireguard for this. If they can’t get that working, then no jellyfin for them. Filters out the PEBKAC people wonderfully.
