Omg how did I not know I was supposed to be rotating to scroll? I thought scrolling was just suuuuper jankey because it never seems to do anything consistently when I swipe 🤦‍♂️

AFAIK the two parties became associated with their specific colors in the 2000 election when one of the major news outlets was doing live coverage of the election. They had a graphic of the country with each state marked red/blue depending on which party had won that state, and were referring to them as red or blue states. Apparently before that point, the parties didnt have specific colors associated, and in fact red was still heavily associated with communism.

I tried it for a while but gave up. It may be possible to get up to the typing speed of a regular keyboard, but it’s main purpose is to be less error prone than a more traditional touchscreen keyboard. Gboard and others use autocorrect to make up for how easy it is to misclick, but that requires large libraries and (in Gboard’s case) telemetry/data collection. Thumb-key’s advantage is it’s simplicity. It doesnt need autocorrect or predictive typing, because the buttons are large and the gestures are well defined and distinct. You should very rarely accidentally type the wrong character once you’re used to it. I never got over that hump, but I’m sure some others have and enjoy typing without looking like we used to be able to do on physical keypads.

I’m seeing reports online (probably still speculation, but still) that she was radicalized by online neo-Nazi terrorist grooming group O9A (Order of Nine Angles).

There’s a Weird Little Guys podcast episode called The Devils Chatroom detailing O9A’s philosophy and tactics of preying on vulnerable young people.

Also, basically every assumption made in the first paragraph is incorrect.

Prices are pretty steep, but I guess the global elites can handle the extra markup

That doesnt match with any of the other substances listed, and LSD lasts longer than 7 hours anyways.

Its a continuation of the now deprecated Clementine music player, which was aiming to bring the Foobar2000 UI and plugin functionality to a modern FOSS cross platform state. That’s off the top of my head, but I followed the Foobar->clementine->strawberry pipeline over the years because I like the Milkdrop2.0 visualizer plugin.

Sometimes bi erasure is actually overt

Unfortunately, yes.

I’m keeping a very close eye on Summer Eternal to produce a spiritual successor to Disco Elysium. I really don’t think ZA/UM has the talent anymore.

Sideloading absolutely has not been used for decades in any context relevant to the android app store conversation.

They have some neat features with integrated sonarr/radar and trashguides scores on every torrent. I probably won’t ever make use of that, but it’s cool that such integration is possible.

I’m an electrician and I would never bother running conduit for low voltage stuff like this if it wasnt absolutely necessary. Its expensive, ugly, time consuming,and more permanent than necessary for speaker wire.

Ask the union leaders in Minneapolis if “no one is doing that.”

Minneapolis is where the George Floyd Uprising started. Go ask those organizers (who are absolutely active today) why “no one is doing that.”

Just because you dont see it, doesn’t mean it doesnt happen. Its not the job of the resistance movement to look like what an outside observer thinks it should look like. Read radical theory and you might recognize the signs of radical resistance.

“Peaceful protest” has very little to do with what I’m talking about. I’m talking about militant resistance, such was what anarchist/communist movements have put into practice for 150+ years, including in the US. It isnt delusional, it’s history.

Another close angle shows clearly where ICE removes the handgun from the victim’s waistband and takes several steps away before the first shot is fired.

They disarmed and then executed an unarmed man.

This is the most harmful rhetoric to a resistance movement that I can imagine. You’re literally saying that people organizing themselves to force radical change have no power or ability to succeed.

Resistance does not look like a witty sign. It looks like community self defence, direct action, union organizing, general strike, and the miriad other methods that have been historically successful against authoritarian and oppressive regimes. These are the methods being used by organizers in Minneapolis today.

And you’re here arguing that The People dont have power.

No, it takes militant direct action. Liberal protests are toothless sign waving performances, but radical protest movements have over 100 years of history showing exactly what methods will force regimes to recognize the power of The People.

Okay but unironically getting organized with your local community and sustained general strike actions will literally bring the nation to it’s knees.
