Emma Goldman, born on this day in 1869, was an anarchist writer and activist in the United States whose works, including "My Disillusionment in Russia" and her journal Mother Earth, influenced anarchist movements all over the world.
Attracted to anarchism after the Haymarket affair, Goldman became a renowned writer and lecturer. She and anarchist writer Alexander Berkman, her lover and lifelong friend, planned to assassinate industrialist and financier Henry Clay Frick as an act of "propaganda of the deed".
Frick survived the attempt on his life, and Berkman was sentenced to 22 years in prison. Goldman was imprisoned several times in the years that followed for "inciting to riot" and illegally distributing information about birth control.
After their release from prison, Goldman and Berkman were again arrested and deported to Russia. Initially supportive of the October Revolution that brought the Bolsheviks to power, Goldman changed her opinion in the wake of the Kronstadt rebellion, denouncing the Soviet Union for its repression of political dissent. She left the Soviet Union and, in 1923, published a book about her experiences, "My Disillusionment in Russia".
Goldman was an extremely well-known anarchist in her lifetime, with a reputation as a powerful orator. Her writing and lectures spanned a wide variety of issues, including prisons, atheism, freedom of speech, militarism, capitalism, free love, and homosexuality.
"If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution."
I may not be an anarchist, but I do appreciate many of Emma Goldman's beliefs, one in particular being her thoughts on the Soviet Union and how it was a betrayal of the revolution by the working class. @anarchotoothbrushist #anarchism #socialism #communism

This quick nature walk would serve as a great spot to have a picnic or to quickly stretch your legs. It still manages to provide a few different view types, including a great view of Bonney glacier to the south as well as a small boulder field and a lush forest that is taking over the rocks.
The trail through the boulders has been laid out using rocks from the boulder field making an easy path.
Pine forest and moss slowly overtakes the rock field.

As discussed on the attached patch, it doesn't sound like unified push is a direction we want to go in at the moment.
So i'm going to close the bug, but do appreciate the interesting exploration and discussion it has generated.
Thank you to everyone who contributed thoughts, time and code to this issue!

hello - thank you for looking into this and submitting this patch stack!
I have asked around a few people internally but unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for the idea of moving to Unified Push.
So I think it would be best to abandon the stack rather than spend more time working on this implementation.
Sorry to have to say that and sorry it's taken so long to get back to you with this message!
We appreciate your time and effort here and hope that you will still consider contributing to firefox in the future.
The US State Department has approved $30 million in funding for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the first known financial contribution by the US government to the controversial group delivering aid in war-torn Gaza.

Mamdani, a proudly socialist 33-year-old, holds a 44-36 percent lead over over former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo – who was hoping that New Yorkers had short memories, and were ready to re-elect the textbook centrist Democrat.
However, after the disaster of Trump’s first year back in the White House – with everyday American life interrupted by protests, immigration raids, corruption allegations and the unshakebale feeling that the nation is about to enter World War 3… It seems the pendulum is swinging back towards left-wing politics.
It appears that the success of Mamdani isn’t so much a vote against Trumpian politics, but more a vote against the stale nothingness of the Democrats top brass – who, while pitching themselves as the progressive option in America’s political system, very seldom action – or even – offer – left-wing policies.
After 20 months of Israel’s ongoing livestreamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, BDS pressure from the broad Palestine solidarity movement across European higher education is finally succeeding.
Iran's government also voted to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, which will stymie efforts to monitor its uranium enrichment.
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, broke his weeklong silence Thursday, claiming in a televised speech that his country had secured a victory over Israel and delivered a "slap in the face" to Washington.
Hours earlier, Iran's government also approved legislation to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, a move that will stymie efforts to assess the damage from U.S. airstrikes and monitor uranium enrichment.
“The Islamic Republic emerged victorious and, in return, delivered a harsh slap to America’s face,” Khamenei said after eight days of silence.
For six months, Donald Trump has upended the global trading order, threatening and announcing tariffs, then easing them to open negotiations, while warning that punitive levies will be reimposed if the terms are not to his liking.
With just 13 days until the Trump-imposed deadline to conclude a EU-U.S. deal, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen decided the time for conventional negotiating tactics was over.
She floated the idea that the EU’s 27 countries could join forces with 12 members of the Asian-led Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership bloc (CPTPP) — which now includes the U.K. — to form a new world trade initiative.
The new grouping would redesign a rules-based global trading order, reforming or perhaps even replacing the now largely defunct World Trade Organization, she said.
Crucially, the U.S. would not automatically be invited.
Sarah J. Frick, Deborah Fletcher, Austin C. Smith, Pirate and chill: The effect of netflix on illegal streaming, Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, Volume 209, 2023, Pages 334-347, ISSN 0167-2681, doi.org/10.1016/j.jebo.2023.03… (sciencedirect.com/science/arti…) Abstract: Over 188 million people in the United States use a subscription video streaming service, yet digital piracy remains prevalent and costs the U.S. economy an estimated $29.2 billion annually. This paper investigates the relationship between a movie's availability on Netflix, the largest video subscription service, and intent to illegally stream the movie. We leverage a contract dispute that caused Epix (a cable network company) to move all its movies from Netflix to Hulu, representing a substantial decrease in the legal streaming availability of these movies. Using a difference-in-differences design, we find that reducing legal streaming access via the removal of Epix movies from Netflix results in a 20% increase in piracy intent relative to movies that remained on Netflix, as measured by Google search volume. This study contributes to the understanding of the substitution between legal streaming services and movie piracy and has implications for content owners deciding what platform to offer their movie on.

Same. I've never been much of a tv/movie person in general, but netflix in its prime was fantastic. But nowadays there are like 30 different streaming services, every single one is egregiously priced, and everything has their own exclusive libraries. Hell I'm surprised they're not streaming genAI slop "movies" yet at the rate they're all going (or maybe they already are, who knows). Fuck all of that noise.
Spotify did the same thing for me years ago. Went from a hand-maintained local library to Spotify, held on to that for like 10 years, ditched them at the start of this year when they were overwhelmingly supporting fascists with political donations. Switched to Tidal for a bit since it has higher quality and better artist payouts, but today I'm right back to hosting a local library (which is better than ever these days), buying what I can directly from artists to support them rather than subscription fees.
I just used nginx proxy manager in docker to connect jellyfin, also in docker, to my web domain with default ports in docker and without any port config on the router and it works. It was just set up password for the manager, type in lan ip and docker port, type in web address, save, and it works.
I used cloudflare to direct all xyzsomething.domain.com to my IP but I'm planning to drop cloudflare soon. There was also a setting in cloudflare that had to be turned off to stream.
Bandcamp solves all problems - you buy the CD as before, but digitally, including lossless FLAC, like 90% goes to the artist or their small label instead of Sony or Universal or Spotify, you can download the album or stream it with the app. It's good enough for me that I only store the files for backup and use the app for listening to most of my recent music purchases.
Same story here. Between Netflix and Hulu everything I wanted to watch was available for like $25 a month. Then all the other streaming services started coming out, less and less of what I wanted was available. 40TBs later I'm not subscribed to a single service and everything I want is back in one place. The arr stack made everything so easy. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, well, can't get fooled again
If these services want to act like an al a carte service, then their pricing needs to reflect that. If they had a plan that allowed someone to subscribe to 2-3 shows for $5 a month (but only those shows could be accessed), people would flood their platforms. The problem is the service's greed would take hold and they'd try to find a way to ruin the experience to push people to the higher price plans. They don't get that people don't want 100s of janky shows to watch, they literally are only there for maybe 1 to 2 shows and that's it.
Yep it'd ridiculous they feign to not understand that people can't subscribe to all services. Especially when their prices keep increasing. Netflix at beginning almost eradicated piracy for most people. It proves that problem is not people unwilling to pay... If really they want to offer a better services then all services should unite, you would pay your monthly subscription and based on what you watched each services would get a cut.
That assumes that everyone who pirates would become subscribers if they weren't pirating. In reality, many people still wouldn't pay if they couldn't pirate what they want. Others may sign up for a month, binge watch what they want, then cancel for the rest of the year.
Even if they would otherwise have subscribed, that money will be spent elsewhere in the economy, its potential revenue the streaming companies couldn't secure, it's not a loss to the economy unless it's a foreign user.
Can't see how it can, it's not like if that money isn't spent on entertainment then it's just lost, it's just spent on other goods and services or put in savings that the banks loan out to other people to generate economic activity. Unless people are literally burning the money or exclusively spending it on foreign goods and services it's not costing the economy per se.
digital piracy remains prevalent and costs the U.S. economy an estimated $29.2 billion annually
That's based on the false assumption that if pirated materials weren't available, people would then be forced to buy them. That's not true, they just don't buy them. If someone has no intention to spend money your content, you aren't losing anything when they find it for free.
Their number also makes no sense if you look at the previous figure "Over 188 million people in the United States use a subscription video streaming service". Average of 10 bucks a month makes 1.8 billion revenue per month, which means the bring in roughly 21.6 billion per year in revenue.... Are they suggesting that MORE people choose piracy over streaming services? That feels like a ludicrous claim. More likely they are estimating the number of "illegal downloads" and assigning the price to buy a digital copy instead... Like if piracy was impossible the people that do it would be buying digital copies instead of signing up for streaming services.
And that is all before you look at your point, that a vast majority of the "illegal downloads" they are likely claiming would have never been sales, they would have just been people that never consumed their media.
L'iniziativa intende imporre agli editori di lasciare in uno stato funzionale (giocabile) i videogiochi che vendono o concedono in licenza (o le collegate funzionalità e risorse che vendono per i videogiochi che trattano) ai consumatori dell'Unione europea.
Nello specifico, punta a impedire che gli editori possano disattivare da remoto i videogiochi prima che siano forniti mezzi ragionevoli per mantenerli in funzione senza coinvolgere gli stessi editori.
L'iniziativa non intende acquisire la proprietà di tali videogiochi, dei diritti intellettuali associati o dei diritti di monetizzazione, né si aspetta che l'editore fornisca risorse per il suddetto videogioco una volta interrotto, lasciandolo in uno stato ragionevolmente funzionale (giocabile).
The draft of Rep. Darrell Issa's new U.S. pirate site blocking bill 'ACPA' is not without controversy. In public comments, opponents warn that the bill's legal framework risks overblocking, which can impact legitimate sites and services. And in a new twist, it appears the bill may come with a potential self-destruct button: a "sunsetting clause".
I feel like there are more important issues than obsessing over genitals and monopoly money for the entertainment industry. Maybe slow your roll on murdering people on the other side of the world? How about here too? Improve infrastructure? Housing? Enshrine abortion as a fucking legal right? Wages? Stop erasing the achievements of women and your crusade against dei? I could go on, but my life is already a giant mess this week.
Appena sveglia stamattina (anche se gli eventi sono successi ieri sera), per fortuna, c’è un aggiornamento sulla questione tastiera… ma non uno davvero piacevole. Affatto!!! Per apparare finché la tastiera meccanica non si sistemerà da sola, infatti, al casalinghi cinese (l’unico vicino aperto alle 20:40…) ne ho comprata una membrana totalmente indegna di nota… eccetto […]
Appena sveglia stamattina (anche se gli eventi sono successi ieri sera), per fortuna, c’è un aggiornamento sulla questione tastiera… ma non uno davvero piacevole. Affatto!!! Per apparare finché la tastiera meccanica non si sistemerà da sola, infatti, al casalinghi cinese (l’unico vicino aperto alle 20:40…) ne ho comprata una membrana totalmente indegna di nota… eccetto che è pur sempre un acquisto cinese, ovviamente col suo packaging, e quindi c’è purtroppo molto da dire. Con calma… tanto ora posso scrivere, pure se non con estremo piacere… 🥴
Per prima cosa, quindi, la scatola, che curiosamente non fa piangere, visto che è scritta in italiano corretto (seppur lievemente buffo)… ma certamente lascia con più dubbi di quanti ne riesca mai a fugare: prima quei punti di forza sul fronte, che per qualche motivo sono in inglese mentre il titolo è in italiano… e poi il retro, che passa dallo spacciare il normalissimo meccanismo a membrana come “preciso“, fino ad arrivare a dire che i LED (i 3 dei tasti lock…) “permettono alla tastiera di essere usata in ambienti con poca luce“, come se non fossero degli stupidi puntini verdi in alto a destra (e ovviamente non c’è alcun “effetto luce arcobaleno” come il davanti dice). Però ehi, la tastiera comunque ha un “design accattivante e giovanile” ed è adatta per lavoro, studio e gaming… e infatti per lo svago, che sarebbe la mia macrocategoria, non è ideale. 😩 Poi, però, la tastiera…Nella foto sulla scatola sembrava molto peggio rispetto a com’è davvero… il che è tutto dire, però già fa pensare: in foto sembra molto mutata di colori e sfocata, fatta di un nero tendente al rosso… e vabbè, classico difetto di fotografia e/o di stampa, niente di che. C’è poco da dire, è decente, ma veramente non più di ciò: il travel è medio, la pressione è abbastanza morbida ma da comunque un feedback tattile buono, ma l’incanalatura dei tasti è talmente lieve che nemmeno si sente… ed il fatto che sia 100% è un problema, perché il mio tappetino lungo è corto (vietato ridere per questo ossimoro…), quindi con questa tra le scatole rimane poco spazio per muovere il mouse. Ovviamente i dettagli strani non mancano neanche qui e anzi, c’è l’imbarazzo della scelta: dall’etichetta dietro appiccicata leggermente storta, al retro che è semplicemente bruttissimo per via dell’insolitamente alta quantità di fori sia veri (per le viti o per l’aria) che finti (???), alla plastica lavorata talmente al risparmio che si vedono le linee di stampo davanti, fino al tasto Caps Lock il cui dislivello ha sul lato interno una forma a trapezio. (Edit, dimenticavo di dire: la tastiera è estremamente leggera, decisamente più del normale, il che sicuramente contribuisce a farla sentire cheap… però non si incurva sensibilmente usandola, anche sbattendo i tasti molto forte, a meno di non appoggiarcisi volutamente con forza, quindi è OK) 🤯
Ma ora comunque, ahi ahi, inizia il brutto… il prezzo: 10 euro. Un assoluto rossone per una tastiera che dire normale è dire poco, e che un decennio fa sarebbe costata al massimo sui 6 euro nello stesso tipo di negozio… ma che oggi, ad onor del vero, anche tra Amazon o AliExpress senza sconti, ovunque, si aggira comunque su questa fascia di prezzo. Una tastiera di Hutrade Technology poi, una marca che (come al solito) non ho mai visto, e che credo difficilmente vedrò ancora… pure questo, insomma, è l’ennesimo indicatore di recessione che temevo, ma che nonostante ciò non mi aspettavo di vedere sul serio, francamente. 😤 Per fortuna, ci sono infine altre piccole cose strane che quasi (quasi…) giustificano il prezzo, perché mi danno molto da ridere e scrivere. Innanzitutto, riguardando alla scatola, si legge che sarebbe “Compatibile con…” e a parte che, lo sappiamo, non ha senso specificarlo, perché una tastiera USB standard è compatibile con letteralmente qualsiasi cosa che accetti tastiere… ma poi… “Compatibile con 10/7/Vista/XP” cosa? Windows o Linux? E scusa, Linux 11, 8.1 e 8 non funzionano? E Linux 2000, Me e 9x? Ed MS-Unix, invece??? Però poi boh, dentro la scatola ci sono per giunta dei tondini di cartone, come se si fossero staccati da qualche parte per rivelare dei buchi… ma il problema è che io non vedo un singolo angolo da cui questi sarebbero presumibilmente caduti a scatola chiusa, quindi penso che ci siano finiti dentro dalla catena di montaggio (ma quindi sarebbero solo una parte del totale)… e inoltre la scatola è quel poco più grande della tastiera che basta per farla ballare dentro malamente, a tal punto che i piedini di plastica hanno graffiato la parte più superficiale nei punti in alto… Vabbuono. 😷

Driving the news: On Wednesday, many Democratic lawmakers and officials either denounced Mamdani or notably declined to rally around him. Republicans — including President Trump — crowed about Democrats embracing a democratic socialist who has called for reduced police funding and sided with Palestinians in the Gaza war.
The top two Democratic leaders in Congress, Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, both New Yorkers, declined to endorse Mamdani even as they applauded his victory.
New York Rep. Laura Gillen, from Nassau County, called Mamdani the "absolute wrong choice for New York."
Rep. Tom Suozzi, also from Nassau County, said he had "serious concerns."
Major Democratic donors — who poured tens of millions into a Super PAC for Cuomo — were having private discussions Wednesday about whether to back an independent run by Cuomo in November's general election, or rally behind unpopular incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, who's also running as an independent.
