They’re really not. I’d recommend reading the Dawn if Everything by anthropologist David Graeber and Archeologist David We grow, which reveals that our true ‘human nature’ is actually egalitarianism and cooperation, and that our current modes of existence are an oddly different blip on the timeline of humanity.

PSA on Swamp Ass from your friendly Captain Malcolm Reynolds :)

Arguably it’d be better to use air conditioners as long as that energy is from renewables such as solar (where the southwest is particularly suited) to help save water, which is in critically short supply in those areas.

As a fellow user of Librewolf, I’ve also lamented that I can’t use the dark mint theme due to that setting. The alternative Alexandrite and Photon frontends we host have easy user-editable themes, though it can take some getting used to if you’re used to the standard lemmy-ui.

Your comment prompted me to look into if there’s a workaround, and I found this, which describes how to disable the ResistFingerprinting setting, and instead modify the FingerprintingProtection setting in the about:config settings menu to replicate the functionality of ResistFingerprinting while still letting the user set the default page theme.

When I compared the standard ResistFingerprinting setting vs the workaround with dark theme enabled in the user settings, it showed no difference in fingerprint score over on CoverMyTracks, so that could be a good temporary or permanent solution (extra bonus that it effects all websites)

poVoq is also investigating the possibility of adding a dedicated dark theme option to slrpnk as well.

I was thinking Mon Mothma’s speech, in particular.

Season 1 is, yes. Season 2 is very much targeting today.

Andor.

The guy who heads that gave a fantastic Defcon talk showing it in action.

AFAIK, krita has had non-destructive editing for a while now (while gimp just got it with the 3.0 release).

The text tool is a pain point still, though thankfully a new from the ground up text tool over 6 years in the making is soon to be released for Krita this year, likely making it the most capable open-source option.

It’s mostly a lack of reach than lack of care. It’s mostly known in English and Polish speaking countries, but there’s a lack of media in other languages on it, and more importantly, a lack of people with large followings in those languages that will spread the signal.

Newer versions of Krita now come with G’mic built in, which add so many incredible tools, including a content aware fill that works incredibly well, and a really nice edge detecting cropping tool called foreground extract.

Damn, that sucks :(

Is it… Is it supposed to spoil so much?

The video is about a retro game, it’s just that the retro game has content you don’t like and don’t want other people talking about.

Far as I can tell, it does that when the phone is running low on ram. At least, that’s when it does it to me.

Lovely :)

Glad you enjoyed!

Yeah, Beau’s a fantastic filmmaker.

I think the analogy holds up beautifully.

The man proceeds to tell the booth talkers that he’s taken great pains to avoid seeing or hearing politics in his daily life, such as quickly muting political ads on TV, requesting his neighbors take down their Trump flags and local candidate election signs in their yard, and taking backroads to avoid seeing a political billboard on the way to work, all in the effort to spare their eyes the misfortune of sliding across disgusting politics. So it’s perfectly reasonable that he demand to the booth talkers they cease their discussion immediately, and switch to a topic he approves of, he explains, confident in the knowledge that they will understand the pains he’s gone through.

The two people in the booth glance at each other uncomfortably, wondering what terrible fate brought this demanding and oddly entitled man to their booth. Finally, one of them flashes a half-grin and spreads their hands disarmingly “Hey man, I get it that you don’t like what we’re discussing, but if we give in to your request, wouldn’t that mean we’d have to give into any other request you have about topics? What if we were talking about sex amongst ourselves and that too wasn’t acceptable since you go to efforts to avoid that topic as well? I don’t think we want to live our lives beholden to your feelings on things, that’s for us to decide. Have a good day.”

Excellent documentary full of Incredible imagery and powerful lessons. Some key takeaways for me:

• After the street fighting had been won, the ability for unions across the country to engage in a general strike, and commit to it for 3 months, appeared to be an effective way to further weaken the state at that moment.
• Unfortunately, the reformists in the movement didn’t learn from the Spanish Civil War, and they were duped into working with the government similar to how some members of the CNT-FAI joined the republican government, which as proved here, is a critical mistake.

To win this, it’s clear that every base has to be thoroughly covered before it begins. Seemingly, a more thorough education of anarchist history amongst the populace may have altered the outcome, and from what I recall is why Catalonia’s revolution during the Spanish civil war was successful, as people had been diligently and tirelessly spreading anarchist education for decades before the revolution begun, and thus the population was adequately prepared. Though the weakness of the republican government likely also played a large role there.

A difficult task accomplish, educating a significant portion of the populace, but there’s nothing else for it, it must be tried.
