I'd recommend purchasing an ozone generator and ozonating the house/room if possible. Forever ozone makes an affordable residential unit for 80 bucks.

Make sure you have a couple extension cords (it's dangerous to breathe) so you can activate it from outside the house/room, and run it for the amount of time described in the instructions to eliminate bedbugs, and your problem should be solved.

They were likely posting about the BuyFromEU Lemmy community.

To other viewers: This video makes the case that authoritarianism is good, based on Engel's paper 'On Authority' and is made from a distinctly Marxist-Leninist perspective.

For a well articulated Anarchist rebuttal to this very video, check out Anark's 'Authoritarianism is bad actually: a response to Second Thought'

Benn consistently makes awesome videos on a surprising variety of things, and this is no exception!

Another plus in favor of posteo is they will never delete or block access to your account even if you stop paying (you just won't be able yo send emails).

That's a very unique trait amongst the privacy focused providers. In comparison, mailbox.org will recycle email addresses after a certain amount of time of not paying, potentially allowing someone to impersonate you by claiming your old address.

Looking at the ingredients list for the burger and chicken nuggets, there's nothing jumping out at me as particularly unhealthy. Perhaps the sunflower oil isn't ideal for pan frying, as it's not a particularly stable oil at high temps unless it's the high-oleic varity, but the coconut oil will hold up fine. Considering red meat has some fairly solid evidence now of increasing cancer risk, I suspect an impossible burger is potentially healthier than a real one.

Beyond meat (the competitor to impossible) used to use some nasty oils that would oxidize during cooking and become quite unhealthy, but they recently reformulated using avacado oil, so they're pretty solid now too, health wise. I think they have a slightly off flavor compared to impossible though.

If you haven't tried any yet, meat alternatives are really, really good now. Impossible meat, Quorn, and Seitan are all excellent alternatives, Quorn and Impossible in particular are, to me, indistinguishable from the real thing.

Hm, death could be interpreted in a number of ways.

Does Almalinux's 10 year support represent death by being unchanging, stagnation?

Or should it mean a distro that is on death's door, with less and less developers working on it each year? Solus, Mageia and OpenMandriva might qualify there.

Void Linux seems fitting from the name alone, though otherwise doesn't really go with the theme.

Eternity is a solid one, was my main for quite some time until I used Voyager while waiting for Eternity to to update to work with the latest Lemmy at the time, and ended up sticking with Voyager.

I do miss the user avatars though, voyager doesn't have those.

That's already hours in, and it was only getting more ridiculous. I had a looksee at Yatzhee's old review of it, and he confirmed my feelings on it, and said it got even worse later. I may watch a let's play of it at some point, but I just wasn't having fun, so I'm unlikely to pick it up again, personally. Just doesn't have the magic...

I just tried new colossus yesterday, actually, and I was surprised how big of a dive the writing took compared to the first game, I had to stop when the resistance guy bursts out of bathroom during that really forced emotional scene in the sub.

I loved the first game and the old blood dlc, so was a bit of a bummer :(

Bananas Screen Sharing may one day be able to replicate that functionality, though at the moment it does not pass-through application audio (The dev mentioned they hadn't implementet that because it's difficult to do on Mac OS, but seems to be viable for Windows/Linux), but it does pass through the microphone.

Thanks for catching that! I changed the title to the correct name.

I think SimpleX or XMPP are the best options at the moment.

1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This can massively impact their income streams, and can bring a government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective.

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

I don't suggest the IWW so workers can strike for better wages, I suggest the IWW because it is the only anti-capitalist union in the country, and was traditionally a vehicle for people to organize under with the goal of using labor as a political and economic club against the ruling class. It also teaches people how to organize on a national or even international level.

Take the CNT and FAI syndicalist/anarchist unions during the Spanish Civil war, as an example. They were in the best position to organize the populace of Catalonia due to having been so successful as a trade union first. It's a useful and powerful non-violent tool in our arsenal.

I thought doubting God was a sin and I'd go to hell if I died with doubt in my heart, so I avoided atheist material out of fear that it was Satan working through them to tempt me to doubt.

But eventually I just couldn't resist, and figured the atheist arguments would clearly be false, and God's truth or whatever would show through and then I could always refer to that event to shake any doubts.

The first video I watched was a debate between a pastor and Christopher Hitchens.

Absolutely shook my faith to the core. For a couple days afterward, no matter how I tried to twist it, I couldn't find the fault in Hitchens arguments.

After that, I began to research the history of Christianity with a more open mind, and it became clear what a shit show the whole thing was. I became agnostic, and I suppose in a way I still am a bit, in the sense that the existence of reality itself is quite puzzling, but I can say with certainty that no religion on earth has any answers toward that end.

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Don't become paralyzed with doubt and fear, march on and push as much you can, and join up with allies while we still can easily!

Lmfao, that's an excellent way of putting it 😂
