Ah yes, the old “everyone is leaning fascist” and “Trudeau is a fascist just like Trump.”
No, not everyone is leaning Fascist. And even though I don’t like him, there’s a big difference between Trudeau and Trump.
Again, if you Americans stayed home and didn’t vote, you are complicit in everything that Trump does.
RE: lgbtqia.space/users/pirin_tabl…
dang bro, I think you forget to realize that globally everyone is leaning fascist and everyone is wrapped up in it. This isn’t solely at the feet of Americans. And it’s not like Justin Trudeau doesn’t continue to be a fascist and fuck over indigenous people and Canada has a huge Islamophobia issue or anything. The western societies are all complacent. It’s not just Americans. But keep blowing off that steam while you work towards dismantling yours and our mess.

Comments like this are why I know a whole lot of self-identified “progressives” are full of shit and aren’t taking things seriously.
Trump is imposing a 25% tariff tax and is threatening to annex Canada, and the response here is “I’ll miss Coffee Crisp”?
GTFO. This is just a game to you.

I'm not being dismissive of your words, I understand your fears. The USA invaded my ancestral homeland and "annexed" a good chunk of it. We didn't cross the border, the border crossed us.
That was then and this is now. Trump talks a lot of shit, I don't believe the international community would allow the USA to go on a land grab spree.
@josuex I absolutely believe the international community would allow the USA to do a land grab. Maybe the EU might make a nominal fuss. But everyone else? Nope.
The thing is, if the USA invades Canada—and that possibility should be taken very seriously—then that means everyone would be foolish for allying themselves with the USA in any sense.
Because hey, Canada is the USA’s closest trading partner. And all that means is that we’re suckers.

Deal reached to allow displaced Palestinians to return to northern Gaza, says Qatar
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said on Saturday that displaced Palestinians would not be allowed to return to their homes in northern Gaza until the civilian hostage Arbel Yehoud was released by Hamas.Gavin Blackburn (Euronews.com)
Disinfo agents on social media successfully told progressives, “A vote for Democrats is a vote for Palestinian genocide—so stay home in protest.”
During his last week in office, Biden helped negotiate a ceasefire.
And now Trump is calling for literal ethnic cleaning of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
You never should have stayed home.
reshared this
Hard disagree. People who stayed home because of Genocide were aware Trump would be worse, but were unwilling to co-sign the idea that Dems could have a little mass murder as a treat.
Now we’re in the same blame game that happened after 2016. Instead of talking about how vote suppression likely changed the result and the absolute necessity to turn out votes in the midterm - we’re instead going to spin our wheels.
What was that about disinformation?
@pliny Stop right here:
People who stayed home because of Genocide were aware Trump would be worse
That’s the problem. By not voting, they chose the worst outcome. Biden might have had his hand in terrible things, but the alternative is even more terrible and harrowing.
It is always a moral imperative to be less harmful than more harmful.
If you chose more harm, you are the problem.

All right. Got most of my #docker containers moved over to #proxmox. I had to rebuild my Homarr page, but that's fine. I've made some progress on the reverse proxy, by running #haproxy on #pfsense. Setup the proxmox backups.
I still have to configure a container, and get the rest of the reverse proxy to work. I'd also like to setup local DNS

@ezmyrelda @jens I’m not on Twitter or Meta—and haven’t been for years. And I’m livid that my government—specifically, the Canadian government—still depends on American companies for public-facing communications when they should be building local social media infrastructure.
But they’re there. They even insist on staying there. And it’s maddening they’re letting Elon Musk restrict such critical information.
Why the hell are Trudeau’s posts on Twitter and not the Fediverse? That should be a scandal.

In every generation, there are young people who take up the task of revolution directly, intensely, and most seriously.
The Brigade was quite clear in their aims; they sought to attack property, not people, and their targets included banks, fascist embassies, and the homes of Conservative MP’s, including then Home Secretary Robert Carr, courts and, as depicted in the film Misbehaviour, a BBC Outside Broadcast van at the 1970 Miss World event.

Got tired of drilling CW in MorseMachine, Morsle, and Morse code for Android, and listened in a few times today to see whether I can copy off the air yet.
During the afternoon on 20m, Winter Field Day was in full swing and every CQ I could hear was too fast for me to copy anything after "CQ". (Well, I did copy what sounded like "FDW9" at one point which I assume was related to field day activities) After dark, 80m had some folks with a more leisurely pace. However, signals fading in and out meant that I still had trouble copying call signs. I could at least recognize more characters even if I couldn't copy enough to understand...
I don't have a key yet, so I don't have to feel bad about not transmitting. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it, for a while! 😀

$55 for a lifetime license to Microsoft Office
One price, two upgrades, no subscriptionsSponsored by StackCommerce (Mashable)
This deal is a bit suspect.
1) It's wrapped in affiliate links.
2) Despite being called a "lifetime license" it appears to be tied to Office 2021. It says updates are included but I assume that's only minor/security updates (after all, Office 2024 is already out.)
3) Buried on the page "IMPORTANT: This licensing type will be connected with your actual device NOT your account."
It's still not a bad deal, but very misleading. I suspect it's about getting people to migrate to Win 11.

Yes indeed there's a lot to criticise the Democrats on, and to hold them accountable for. II can understand one would want to stay true to their own convictions, and not support them with their vote. But is it worth the mass deportations, end of women's rights, end of trans people's rights, end of freedom of the press, and very likely invasion of sovereign nations?
