I love how every fedi drama thread basically boils down to "someone said something I don't like FEDIBLOCK URGENT! ABUSE! EMERGENCY!"

And the rest of the thread is everyone picking apart every tiny detail and imagining malice behind every possible action.

And now moral outrage over being sent an email to the address you gave the service specifically to contact you.

You people are ridiculous.

in reply to cannot resolve symbol "rat"

I have never once seen a fedi drama thread with any guise of reasonability. 100% of the time it's someone flying off the handle over something meaningless and then inventing a whole bunch of evidence of abuse. The supposed abuser is *always* pure irredeemable evil. They're always a racist and an abuser. Never once a hint of doubt or consideration.

Clutching pearls so hard they're gonna turn to diamonds

Unbelievable.

Is the health-insurance industry "working to make coverage and care as affordable as possible"? Or is it pulling billions of dollars away from coverage and care and converting it to administrative overhead and profit?

Does the health-insurance industry "help people navigate the complex medical system"? Or does it create all that unnecessary complexity in the first place?

(Industry double-speak from the NY Times: nytimes.com/2024/12/05/nyregio…)

I always say it, and I'll say it again:

I don't always agree with Cory @pluralistic Doctorow (still), but we can dismiss that because he's better informed than I

In his 4 novella anthology Radicalized:

the novella -that lends title to the collection- isn't often discussed the way the other 3 are, but it was(is) the one that triggered me most deeply.

And is the one that speaks to today's headlines.

Manifestation de la Confédération Paysanne : interpellations "très violentes", selon un Ardéchois présent à Paris - France Bleu

Pour rappel, ça fait quelques jours que des orgas d'agriculteurs de droite menaçent des élus, séquestrent des gens, font des actions violentes, et la police regarde de l'autre côté.
Un groupe d'agriculteurs de gauche préfère manifester pacifiquement, ils se font tabasser.

So having speculated in a previous post that the killing of Brian Thompson in New York, might have something to do with him being a CEO of a health insurer, the proposition is gaining some traction with police revealing three bullet cases had 'deny', 'defend', depose' scratched onto them...

Police thinks this may be related to Jay Feinman’s 2010 book on the insurance industry, Delay, Deny, Defend, detialing how large health insurers avoid paying claims.

well, well, well

Time Bomb Booby Trap.


Time Bomb Booby Trap.

If it isn't broken, don't try to fix it. The globalists, like the democrats and elitists everywhere like to dust off their old playbook plays. One shouldn't blame them too harshly, since until recently, that playbook yielded their results.

However, even well buckets eventually wear out. The EU is a trap that ensnares the superficial and the greedy. It will eventually consume them both. We've said it before and we'll say it again. The EU is the parasite that kills the host. The EU will digest and excrete whatever is left of nations already in her grasp.

Georgia: One Third Of Protesters Detained Have Been Foreigners.

One third of the pro-EU protesters getting detained by Georgia are foreigners. 🇬🇪 Georgian authorities have reported that about 1/3 of those detained at the protests have been foreigners. What a shocker.

[PL] Poradnik: Jak Przesłać Pliki Przez Smash W 2024


Klienci wysyłający materiały dla składu gazety lub druku gazety mogą się wspierać usługami takimi jak np. WeTransfer. W tym poradniku pokażemy jak łatwo i sprawnie – za darmo i bez zakładania konta przesłać pliki za pomocą usługi Smash.

Pełny artykuł ze zdjęciami dostępny jest na stronie Poradnik: Jak Przesłać Pliki Przez Smash W 2024

Usługa Smash, dostępna pod adresem fromsmash.com w chwili obecnej (grudzień 2024) jest usługą darmową w wersji standardowej. Czym różni się od wersji pro? Wersja standardowa pozwala przesłać max 2 GB pliki od ręki (pliki ważące więcej niż 2 gigabajty, muszą czekać w kolejce na wysłanie), wysłane pliki są przechowywane przez 7 dni, co oznacza, że po 7 dniach znikną. Więcej na temat usług można przeczytać na stronie firmy: fromsmash.com/pricing

Co ciekawe, usługa pozwala przesyłać zarówno pliki jak i foldery.

Przejdźmy zatem do krótkiego instruktarzu, jak przesyłać pliki przez tę platformę:

Po wejściu na stronę Smash ukaże się nam strona taka jak poniżej:

Chyba, że zaakceptowaliśmy ciasteczka już wcześniej, wtedy zobaczymy stronę taką jak na górze artykułu, czyli pozbawioną banneru dot. ciasteczek.

Zmieniające się opisy instruują nas o dwóch funkcjach, jakie wspiera Smash przy wysyłaniu plików (np. do drukarni gazetowej ):

krótkie przyciśnięcie na ikonkę S pozwoli nam umieścić pojedynczy plik

długie przyciśnięcie ikonki pozwoli nam zamieścić zawartość całego folderu

Warto pamiętać szczególnie o drugiej funkcjonalności.

Zatem po kolei: w zależności od potrzeby, klikamy na ikonę krótko lub długo. Zaznaczamy interesujące nas pliki (lub folder), potwierdzamy – następuje przesyłanie plików.

Gdy pliki (np. przeznaczone do druku gazety lub składu tekstu), zostaną wysłane na serwer zobaczymy taką stronę:

Po lewej zobaczymy listę dodanych plików, czerwony plus pozwoli dodać następne.

Po prawej stronie do wypełnienia jest parę kolumn:

your e-mail – tutaj wpisujecie Wasz adres e-mail

Your contacts’ emails – w tej rubryce podajecie NASZ adres e-mail (podany będzie w korespondencji)

Subject – czyli tytuł, najlepiej w tej rubryce wpisać nazwę gazety.

Message – można tutaj dodać parę słów od siebie, polecamy tego pola nie uzupełniać, a uwagi do składu / druku gazetowego przesłać czy to w e-mailu czy jako plik tekstowy zamieszczony w paczce plików

„Expires on” – to informacja o dacie po jakiej pliki zostaną usunięte z serwera. Uwaga, data podawana jest wg. wzorca amerykańskiego, czyli miesiąc, dzień, rok.

Send – a gdy wszystko będzie gotowe, klikamy na Send, aby pliki i treść zostały wysłane do Nas.

Jednak to nie wszystko. Po wysłaniu plików, pojawi się nam taka strona...

Okay, for completeness, now I have to post some original Renft, too. There’s not much, but this is even from East-German TV, shortly before they got banned by the regime in 1975.

in reply to Christian Bredlow 🌿

In a bassplayer forum I found a thread about neckdive and how to get the bass in a vertical position. Some said Bill Wyman put the strap-button on the lower horn. But this only lifts the neck a few centimeters and he still has to hold it up with the left hand all the time, even more so as the bass will tilt over away from him with the low fix point. And then someone said he does exactly this, too. He didn't mention Renft, probably doesn't even know him, but also said he steps into the strap, keeping it between his legs and that's the best way to do it. Wow.

I like to play my bariton very vertical sometimes, but not all the time, and, maybe, we have a little advantage for doing this on single-cut instruments like I have: Put the strap button on the backside, like you have on an SG for example. Not sure if it's mechanically possible to put it on the backside of a horn though. But that's where the single-cut shape is an advantage, maybe. That way you get the button up enough to prevent too much neckdive and there it works like a pivot-point. You can easily rotate the instrument around it from more vertical to more horizontal while playing.

But that's so funny and interesting, not just how it's been the same questions over decades, but also how these isolated GDR-rockers invented solutions that the west-rockers only found much later. Just like the thing with the snap hook.

“There is no terrorism, there is only France,” says president of the West African Peoples’ Organization.

Philippe Noudjènoumè blames France for terrorist presence in the Sahel and criticizes the Benin government’s collusion with Macron.

Smash - Wetransfer alternative - how to send files


Wetransfer is awesome but smash also

Customers sending material for the typesetting of a newspaper or the printing of a newspaper can support themselves with services such as WeTransfer. In this tutorial, we will show you how to transfer files easily and efficiently - for free and without creating an account - using the Smash service.

The Smash service, available at fromsmash.com at the moment (December 2024), is a free service in the standard version. How does it differ from the pro version? The standard version allows you to upload a maximum of 2 GB of files on the spot (files weighing more than 2 gigabytes have to wait in a queue to be uploaded), uploaded files are stored for 7 days, which means that after 7 days they will disappear. You can read more about the services on the company's website: fromsmash.com/pricing.

The changing descriptions instruct us about two functions that Smash supports when uploading files (e.g. to a newspaper printer ):

a short press on the S icon will allow us to post a single file
a long press on the icon will allow us to post the contents of an entire folder.
The second function in particular is worth bearing in mind.

So one by one: Depending on the need, click on the icon either short or long. Select the files (or folder) you are interested in, confirm, and the files are transferred.

On the left you will see the list of added files, the red plus will allow you to add more files.

On the right there are a couple of columns to fill in:

your e-mail - here you enter your e-mail address
Your contacts' emails - this is where you enter OUR email address (it will be given in the correspondence)
Subject - the title, preferably the name of the newspaper.
Message - you can add a few words of your own, but we recommend that you do not fill in this field and send us your comments on the composition/printing of the newspaper, either by e-mail or as a text file included in the file package.
‘Expires on’ - is information about the date after which the files will be removed from the server. Please note that the date is given according to the US standard, i.e. month, day, year.
Send - and when everything is ready, we click on Send to have the files and content sent to us.

However, that is not all. Once the files have been uploaded, a page like this will appear to us:

This is the page that expects a code. And where does the code come from? The code should arrive at your e-mail address after a while. The purpose of this step is to verify your address and thus ensure that the sender's address is correct. Once you have confirmed the code, the following page will appear:

This page is a summary, so to speak, of the content we have written. And when everything has been uploaded correctly, you will see the graphic below:

That's it! The files have been transferred. By clicking on View transfer you can preview the content, which looks like this:

And if you click on the down arrow it will expand showing previews of the files:

We hope that this little tutorial will help you to successfully send larger attachments.

Wasn’t his death ruled a “suicide”? Yes.

Shot to the chest. Who shoots himself through the chest?

As I recall he was preparing to deliver important research on vaccine induced autism. So, he had a future and a powerful purpose and yet, he decides to shoot himself IN THE CHEST in a river in North Carolina.

Let me guess, there were multiple shots BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO STAND AGAINST BIG PHARMA HAVE AN UNCANNY ABILITY TO KEEP SHOOTING (or stabbing)
