I tested out the GrapheneOS Browser and Brave to see if it is an APP or OS issue causing the battery drain

GrapheneOS only seems to have a battery drain with brave browser. The GrapheneOS browser will honor the RESTRICTED battery mode setting. Brave will continue to run in the background in RESTRICTED mode and reduce your battery life

@OneEyeKing I believe Epstein Island is a joint CIA/Mossad operation to blackmail politicians to do their and Israels bidding as they have ever since Kennedy's assassination. I don't think Trumps sudden conversion to Judaism has anything to do with his daughters marrying a Jew, people with any serious religious persuasions aren't going to switch faiths because of who their daughers marry. I think far more likely it was because Mossad has videos of him diddling a kiddling.l

Look, if we intend to make it through all the chaos that is coming, a lot of us need to start thinking in terms of liberation in a big way. We need transformative justice not imprisonment & slavery.

We can't be squeamish now. We can't clutch our pearls over "criminality" as defined by a State that exerts violent control over us all.

As far as I'm concerned, as long as our prisons are still standing, we haven't yet done enough to vanquish fascism. You have to burn the roots.

Dear liberals (if any of you are reading), please for the sake of us all, we need you to get over your fear of "criminals" as a class of person.

We need you to trust that we can build a better society that deals with violence, when it occurs, differently. For that matter, we already know that "crime" decreases when poverty decreases, so our "crime" problem is primarily a poverty problem!

J. R. DePriest :EA DATA. SF:

Instead of thinking of them as "criminals" think of them as "desperate people pushed to the brink by an uncaring system" and that should motivate you the right way.
Yes, there are actual people out there who want to hurt you. Most of them are already in positions of power or are seeking them out but you probably weren't thinking about that kind of crime even though you are far more likely to be a victim of it. You are probably already a victim of multiple crimes of that type. Go after them. They are the criminals stalking you and targeting you.

Yep. The segments of society who feel the most excluded, will inevitably feel less bound by the "social contract" (because it was already torn up for them!) and the laws of society. That should be obvious, but the NIMBYs' first instinct is always harsher policing and increased gentrification to shield them from the hordes at the gates.

Preventing such stratification is one important reason there are no private schools in Finland.

Philly. A city of trash (and the sanitation workers are on strike), a city of Democrats (but I repeat myself), and a city of the stupid. Well, anything technical is looked down upon. Now, the only thing I don't like about remotely-driven cars is the safety factor. Sometimes these cars do not drive as they are supposed to, actually leading to death of the occupant(s) of the car. But, I would not trash someone else's car, not even literally. In Philly they will though..

Now in College, #LudditeTeens Still Don’t Want Your Likes

Three years after starting a club meant to fight #SocialMedia’s grip on young people, many original members are holding firm and gaining new converts.

By Alex Vadukul
Jan. 30, 2025

"Biruk Watling, a college sophomore wearing a baggy coat and purple fingerless gloves, walked the chilly campus of Temple University in #Philadelphia on a recent afternoon to recruit new members to her club.
She taped a flier to a pole: '#JoinTheLudditeClub For #MeaningfulConnections.' Down the block, she posted another one: 'Do You Desire a Healthier Relationship With Technology, Especially Social Media? The Luddite Club Welcomes You and Your Ideas.'

"When a student approached, Ms. Watling dove into her pitch.

"'Our club promotes #ConsciousConsumption of #technology,' she said. 'We’re for #HumanConnection. I’m one of the first members of the original Luddite Club in #Brooklyn. Now I’m trying to start it in #Philly.

"She pulled out a #FlipPhone, mystifying her recruit.

"'We use these,' she said. 'This has been the most freeing experience of my life.'
If Ms. Watling had a missionary’s zeal, it was because she wasn’t just promoting a student club, but an approach to modern life that profoundly changed her two years ago, when she helped form the Luddite Club as a high school student in New York.

"But that was then, back when things were simpler, before she had embarked on the more independent life of a college student and found herself having to navigate QR codes, two-factor-identification logins, dating apps and other digital staples of campus life.

"The #LudditeClub was the subject of an article I wrote in 2022 — a story that, ironically, went viral. It told of how a group of teenage tech skeptics from Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn and a few other schools in the city gathered on weekends in Prospect Park to enjoy some time together away from the machine.

"They #sketched and #painted side by side. They read quietly, favoring works by #Dostoyevsky, #Kerouac and #Vonnegut. They sat on logs and groused about how #TikTok was dumbing down their generation. Their flip phones were decorated with stickers and nail polish.

"Readers inspired by their message responded in hundreds of emails and comments. Reporters from Germany, Brazil, Japan and elsewhere flooded my inbox, asking me how to reach these students who were so hard to track down online. Snarky Reddit threads and think pieces sprouted. #RalphNader endorsed the club in an opinion essay, writing: 'This is a rebellion that needs support and diffusion.'"

"It’s really important for a kid to be left alone"- When #TaikaWaititi made his feelings clear about the role of tech in children's lives

By Sourav Chakraborty
Modified May 03, 2025 04:54 GMT

" 'Exactly, now they’ve all got iPads and it’s done for them! I think it’s really important for a kid to be left alone and left to figure it out for themselves how to pass the time. As a kid, I spent so much time bored and coming up with ideas of how to do things, so I’d write stories or I’d draw pictures or invent worlds through drawing or just in my head, just thinking about things. I think that a lot of my creativity has really come from being bored.' " [SO TRUE!!!]

So this meat tastes good, but I called $$$$$ to see how their meat was treated before the animal was killed packaged and sent here. An extremely contradictory and dodgy phone call. First I was told the meat was "natural," so that sounds ok, the lady told me the animals were treated respectably, and they weren't given pesticides.

Do these bluecry douchebags have nothing better to do than harrass a butcher shop?

If your a fucking vegan don't go to the butcher shop!

@Arthur_500 Just a small factoid, the vegamites keep telling us red meat is bad for our health. The nation with the highest red meat consumption per capita is Japan. The nation with the longest life expectancy is Japan. You can buy this crap and eat Bill Gates artificial meat if you like, I'll pass.

I started learning about nutrition (against my will) when my mother got me into a college course while in 7th grade.

Over the years I learned 'everything.' Something didn't make sense.

Why were English sailors suffering from scurvy? Eskimos weren't. How could Eskimos have healthy lives with so much fat in their diet?

In the 1970's nutrition science was taken over by the high carb crowd.

Health effects are obvious.

Eat meat. Eat fish.

Chemistry is not nutrition

Today is 30 days that the US military has occupied Los Angeles.

The fiscal hawks never for a moment think of the absurd amount of money being spent to terrorize civilians, children, harass families—all to satisfy the ego of an aspiring fascist. This is not freedom. This is tyranny. And unsurprisingly the NRA is nowhere to be found because they were never actually about anti-tyranny, they were always about pro white supremacy.

“In a sane world, the Israeli government’s slaughter of nearly 80 helpless Palestinians in a single day using American weapons would be major news and members of Congress would treat Benjamin Netanyahu like Hannibal Lecter. Instead, Israel’s daily killing machine is largely ignored while Netanyahu, a wanted war criminal, walks freely on Capitol Hill.”

a solution my friend & I engage in for our mental health - when we notice “glimmers“ of humanity and or hope we share them with one another. I thought it may translate well to the folks who make this their social habitat. This is what she sent earlier:

So outside my back door there are inmates from the OC Dept of corrections clearing brush behind the hall owned by the fire dept. One guard has a weed whacker and is working right along side of them. Glimmer!
