Anti-government protests on a massive scale don't just happen. They are organized. They are backed by mutual aid networks. It's easy to sit back and say "I'm not voting for either option because this whole system is bad," but have you done literally any work at all to make the system less bad? Or to build up real alternatives? If the entire American voting system is undemocratic, what have you done in your local community to make your community's voice heard outside of that system?

I see so many people who are terminally online say they don't want to participate in a broken system, and exactly zero of them do any work outside of (not) voting to fix the problems they see in their community. If you're not gonna do the bare minimum and vote every four years for the least bad option, you better be doing literally any other real-world political work. Otherwise you're just as complicit in the system you have such an issue with.

Tldr: the revolution is not right around the corner; you will not be saved. Do some actual political legwork instead of sitting on your ass complaining the whole time. Complaining is easy. Fixing is hard.

STOP DOOMER POSTING I know climate change is a frustrating problem to solve (to say the least) but holy shit this doomer posting makes it so hard to keep up the momentum necessary to solve it

It is NOT already too late

The way the climate change works, it won't be too late until we're all dead

Stop Doomer Posting

Young voters are significantly impacted by this issue and they carry a lot of momentum. I think the people saying that this won't sway the vote are really discounting how important that momentum is.

It is not possible to move 1.8 million people out of a region like Gaza without mass death. This is not some secret information that Israel doesn't know. The state of Israel has demonstrated at every possible opportunity that at best it does not care and at worst that's the goal.

I'm not sure if the piracy megathread or FMHY megathread cover the *arr stack specifically, but they have lots of information so I'm recommending them broadly for anyone wanting to ingest information about piracy.

Regarding what the arr stack even is:

Tldr, you set up a list of public and/or private trackers in Prowlarr or Jackett. In Radarr and Sonnar you set up movies and shows respectively that you want to keep track of. Rad/Sonarr check those trackers for releases for your tracked media matching criteria (like resolution, size, language, etc).

When it finds a matching release, it sends the torrent file or magnet link to your torrent client to download. When it finishes, Rad/Sonarr hardlink or copy the file to a library location and organize/name them according to rules you set.

You can point Jellyfin or Plex to that library location and all the media will be organized so it can easily figure out what media is there and grab metadata for it (cover images, description, ratings, etc). Then you can watch that media through Jellyfin/Plex or an app that plugs into them.

The *arrs also work with usenet if you'd prefer that over or in addition to torrenting with a vpn.

Others have commented with the song from the video, but if you like stuttery music in the same way I do, might I suggest for your consideration:

• Waste My Time by Eliminate
• PROTECT ME by k?d
• Out Of Space by Subshock & Evangelos
• The drop for The Other Side by Au5 & Chime is super scrinkly scrongely — not sure if I would call it stuttery, but you might like it
• The Girl (Stonebank Remix) by Hellberg (feat. Cozi Zuehlsdorff) is not quite stuttery, but it does move very fast and feels tight in a way that feels similar to me

You can downgrade to version 199.15 to get rid of the new ui without using a third party modified client

Reminds me of this

Radar and Sonarr are tools to track movies and TV shows respectively. You can add a movie/show to track, tell it the quality you want it in, and set up Prowlarr or Jackett to give Son/Radarr the access to the torrent trackers it needs. You can also use Usenet but I have no experience there.

It will search those torrent trackers for releases matching your movies/shows in the quality and language you set for them and send the downloads to the torrent client you set up. When the client finishes downloading, Son/Radarr copies (or hardlinks) the files to your library folders.

If Son/Radarr is tracking a show that you currently have downloaded in 480p, but the quality profile allows upgrades up to 1080p, it will search for 720p and 1080p releases and pick the best match it can find. When the torrent client finishes downloading it, Son/Radarr will automatically replace the 480p release with the 1080p release it just downloaded.

A revelatory and inclusive history of the American labor movement, from independent journalist and Teen Vogue labor columnist Kim Kelly.

There's more info in the description at the link for those interested. I might pick this up at my library to give a read.

We used the 100 AI and 100 human White faces (half male, half female) from Nightingale and Farid. The AI faces were generated using StyleGAN2. The human faces were selected from the Flickr-Faces-HQ Dataset to match each of the AI faces as closely as possible (e.g., same gender, posture, and expression). All stimuli had blurred or mostly plain backgrounds, and AI faces were screened to ensure they had no obvious rendering artifacts (e.g., no extra faces in background). Screening for artifacts mimics how real-world users screen AI faces, either as scientists or for public use, and therefore captures the type and range of stimuli that appear online. Participants were asked to resize their screen so that stimuli had a visual angle of 12° wide × 12° high at ~50 cm viewing distance.

Can't wait for them to try this, it flops, half the staff gets laid off, the CEO steps down with a golden parachute, the CEO trades places with the CEO of another tech company, that new CEO makes an even worse decision, another half of the staff gets laid off, the new CEO gets a raise, Microsoft buys both companies, Google makes a competing game studio that gets killed before their first game release, and Apple releases their first video game for $3000 that only runs on M2 and above.

I recommend against gogs. It's missing lots of features that I expected and I ended up switching to gitea anyways. Gitea works well for everything I need and forgejo is a fork of gitea that I might switch to in the future.

Why not use a reverse proxy to keep everything on port 443 behind your own domain or duckdns? /gen

For people looking to volunteer, check out Progressive Victory. They'll help you join phone banking, door knocking, or whatever the situation calls for that you're able to help with in local elections across the country.

They do great work and they train you too, so even if you don't have experience, you can hop in a big discord call where they walk everyone through how to phone bank. Highly recommend checking them out if you want to volunteer.

Btw the easier to remember url is progress.win

Yes, but to block fake news you need the max setting, which also blocks social media

If you'd prefer, of course, you could block social media without blocking fake news, because priorities

This and the promise that your ad on the outside could go viral on social media. Not sure how long that can keep up until people are tired of the sphere ads, but you know the project owners are hoping it's later rather than sooner.

My provider order for stuff that Sonarr handles (shows/anime):

1. TheTVDB
2. AniDB
3. TheMovieDb
4. The Open Movie Database
5. Missing Episode Fetcher

I don't know what the last two are and I doubt they ever get used. Sonarr uses TheTVDB

And then go to court against Morgan Stanley…

I believe they've been trying to get out of the contract though which is good, but it's still easier said than done.

In this case, those hyphens should be em dashes (a great punctuation mark).

Use them when trying to split up a sentence — like when you need to inject information that breaks the sentence flow — without splitting it into multiple sentences. They're like parentheses that emphasize their information instead of quietly setting it to the side.

On Windows, the alt code is 0151. On Android (and iOS?), just hold down on the hyphen key and choose the longest option. No clue how to get it on macOS.
