Bright side, alternative media gains ground every day… downside, without a Linus Torvalds/RMS figure, I fear the alternative media just gets bribed, and we all know which side bribes more effectively versus buying Jen O’Malley Dillon and Neera Tanden yachts via commission with their cash for nothing but being fleeced on ineffective, high cost ads, like the Las Vegas Sphere spend of $400k/day in 2024.
However, now that the corporate media has switched the party it is aligned with, the revolution will not be televised.
Hope whoever leaked it has FIRE opsec
He’s literally “Do better, senator”-ing himself 🤯. Very meta.
In an ideal world, Trump will insist on running, and the GOP will pull a DNC and not have a primary, then the supreme court upholds that no, Trump cannot be on any state ballots, and by being the only national party on the ballot, the DNC eeks out a victory despite forcing the newly MAGAfied, gold chain wearing, UFC Zuckerbergian Gavin Newsom on us in a rigged primary and then running on a platform of “abundance” which is fooling nobody by slapping scifi bullshit on the same tired rightwing neolib bullshit they lost 2000, 2004, 2016, and 2024 running on.
In 2020, the DNC struck a devil’s bargain to ally themselves with the corporate media and social media platforms over their own activist base. This led to the media doing massive coverage of what was, other than the women’s march, not particularly impressive “resistance.” Now that the corporate media and social media have realized that the DNC is so dysfunctional and unable to do any institutional accountability for poor performance, it is unlikely we will see them in power for decades (ala the GOP for most of the 20th century) they switched sides and allied themselves with the GOP, so their incentive is to just not cover protest at all to suppress dissent and please their new allies on the MAGA right.
There are also lists one can find of open proxy servers, they’re all probably malicious but if just getting a single file via https… it would be non-incidental to override the certificate check, so these gutter proxy sharks are probably not at that level unless a major state actor wants you.
Good, if you have ever met a Yale student, you know they are interested in power, not knowledge (despite knowledge being power – but the SAT doesn’t cover 80’s GI Joe). It’s a waste to have good professors wasting time with kids who are only interested in seizing the state like a late antiquity Roman noble.
Oh, there are sooo many options now, I’m sure many gaming handhelds are 100% up to date Pixel-level. I was just saying as per existing inventory in the world, if you just pick up something random… it gonna have KitKat potentially…
Yeah, I mean, there are other ways, like STube on Android, which I think is a one man band but is always faster, but it’s not even so much about even just watching, Freetube is a great overall management experience for keeping track sans Google like nothing else with history and export et al across all platforms basically. I’m constantly impressed by them.
I think OP is referencing new “retro” handhelds that run Android (although I bet a lot run KitKat or something insane, so no modern encryption/https)
Yes! The Freetube team are real heroes, and really keep up with the cat and mouse of it all at S-tier on all fronts, including even getting updates into flathub promptly, which not every project is good about.
Pika Backup does backups. For testing Windows, you’ll want to run a VM, QEMU is best for that (There’s a KDE wrapper I forget the name of for it with a better GUI) but you can probably do some level of testing running your app with Wine. You can run Excel with Wine (also the Office365 web Excel runs in browser)
InBev, a Belgian company, owns Budweiser.
On brand as a member of DNC leadership. These people are VERY bad at their jobs. Bright side for them, the DNC is immune to accountability, so they have complete job security.
Wow, you’re deep!
As a worker with real skills, I stand by my judgement of you leeches.
Copyright. If you say “You can find X at Y” US copyright has gotten so out of control even linking is infringement like hosting, even via magnet link. The megathread is pretty old and doesn’t even have old things that are still useful like the saved google searches, so your point is apt… Have you tried watchsomuch or OG piratebay? Piratebay has more old shit still with seeds than you might think.
