TODAS LAS DEMOCRACIAS EN CRISIS, ¿POR QUÉ ?
Era inimaginable que una buena parte de la población llegase a pensar que un régimen autoritario puede funcionar mejor que uno basado en las libertades y los DDHH. A los demócratas convencidos les puede parecer todo esto un proceso de involución, pero tal vez haya una explicación que nos pueda tranquilizar, tal vez a las democracias actuales les falta algo que han de desarrollar....

In defiant flyover, U.S. F-18 fighter jets enter Venezuelan airspace for 40 minutes
Two U.S. F-18 fighter jets flying in tandem entered Venezuelan airspace around noon Tuesday, circling over the Gulf of Venezuela in the latest show of force against the regime of Nicolás Maduro.
The flyover — carried out despite the Venezuelan regime’s possession of a number of Russian-made anti-aircraft batteries — took place less than 100 miles northeast of Maracaibo, Venezuela’s second-largest city. Thousands of Venezuelans tracked the aircraft online through specialized tracking websites, watching as the jets traced a bow-tie-shaped pattern over the gulf.
The fighters remained inside Venezuelan airspace for at least 40 minutes at an altitude of roughly 25,000 feet before heading north and leaving the area.

They’re multiplying.
I thought the alligator scale ones would look more like… scales. I think I need to try a different technique.
But I’m a fan of the ribbing on the purple one.
Can’t stop won’t stop.
This one looks like a damn pot. The custom stitch I used, I think, would work better if it were a solid color.
I also think it needs a nice, thick, non-crochet draw string.

Searching for eBook reader solution
cross-posted from: lemmy.ml/post/39848038
I bought myself a fancy new TLC 11 Nxtpaper Gen 2 with a cool e-ink type display. It’s an android tablet and I’m breaking free from Apple.
That means no more Apple Books for my epubs. That also means, I’m now looking for a good solution to annotating epubs/pdfs (mostly highlights) on Android.
I’d loveeee it it had some bring your own storage sync (webdav) or just plays well with the local storage for using syncthing etc.
What are the best options?
If anyone was wondering: tcl.com/us/en/products/mobile/…
11 inch display with 60 hz refresh, but it sounds like regular lcd rather than e-ink? It has an 8000mah battery that it says can run the tablet through a full day, so that's nothing like an epaper tablet. It sounds more like a drawing tablet, as it has a pressure sensitive pen.
Anyway, I've been using Librera FD for reading epubs on Android. Its blurb mentions annotations but I've never tried that feature.
I have an Inkplate 10 e-paper tablet but haven't been using it.
I see, yeah there is something about it in the blurb. How do you like the tablet? Is it responsive? Is it full of Android bloatware? Do you know if it is rootable?
I see there is a 14 inch version that's about $300 and that starts to get interesting. It's not "2nd gen" though. And, I had thought of TCL as a lower tier manufacturer with quality issues, but I hadn't looked into it much.
I like that the tablet has an SD (probably microSD) slot. Don't like that there's no headphone jack. There's plenty of space in those things compared to a phone.
Thanks, it is kind of intriguing though I keep telling myself to just use normal Linux stuff instead of Android. I'd want the 14 inch one which is around $300. Is there any trouble installing F-droid and apps from there?
Alternatives I'm thinking of include Lenovo Yoga laptop (16 inch) and a Raspberry Pi thing with an HDMI monitor (that would be plug-in only but I mostly read at home).

Tell us of your experience with NOSTR
This survey was created so the Nostr community can better understand itself and help advance the Nostr protocol and ecosystem.
The Fediverse is the network and NOSTR is one of its protocols.
i do not know where you get that impression. antisemitism, conspiracy theories and general racism are soooo common if you just browse one of the public feeds on primal, ditto etc. not to mention like 1 in 5 posts are just bitcoin posting.
we do have instances of fascist chuds on ActivityPub, but they're at least a little less easy to run into if you go to our equivalent of a public firehose like mastodon.social.
i will say there's parts of the nostr protocol i prefer over ActivtyPub, but you'll never catch me anywhere near that nazi bar

That is what will happen if anyone takes a shot at those planes, hence why they weren't shot down.

Looks like not only illegal but also betting that Venezuela will stay calm enough to do anything about them
