@TXPatriot2021 @TXHolly Greg Abbott is running for a 4th term. Thoughts? I think he's overstaying his welcome, not that he stands a chance of losing in the general election.
If a proven MAGA type candidate were to run, they would get my vote.
Texas politics is very corrupt and Abbott at least does the right thing 60% of the time, but I just haven't seen anyone else yet that I would consider.
Unfortunately, he's running for re-election for Lt. Governor.
Sometimes, I get the idea that Abbott is running for re-election explicitly to keep Patrick out of the mansion, because if Dan ran, he would win, so Abbott is keeping the seat occupied for the Bushites so he can run the clock down.
Stalin: Contrary to metaphysics, dialectics holds that nature is not a state of rest and immobility, stagnation and immutability, but a state of continuous movement and change, of continuous renewal and development, where something is always arising and developing, and something always disintegrating and dying away. The dialectical method therefore requires that phenomena should be considered not only from the standpoint of their interconnection and interdependence, but also from the standpoint of their movement, their change, their development, their coming into being and going out of being. The dialectical method regards as important primarily not that which at the given moment seems to be durable and yet is already beginning to die away, but that which is arising and developing, even though at the given moment it may appear to be not durable, for the dialectical method considers invincible only that which is arising and developing. wordsmith.social/protestation/…
Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.

Me and some #FreeSoftware friends are setting up a #Fediverse + cloud server aimed at getting #Indian users away from the mass surveillance, censorship, and disinformation of proprietary platforms.
Please let us know which services are important to you by filling out this 2-minute survey, so we can prioritize accordingly and estimate the costs.
Decentralization is obviously the big thing about the Fediverse but is it TOO decentralized to gain traction?
There is no reason why they have to be fully separate domains in the same branch. You can set up a system of fully independent moderation and extreme levels of customization while having them all on one site with a front page that allows everyone to see whats popular.
A front page wouldn't prevent individual subgroups from requiring approval to join, it wouldn't prevent subgroups from banning those it doesn't want. It doesn't prevent users from blocking subgroups that it doesn't want to see on the front page.
What would be most useful is that now someone could create an account on the Reddit, Twitter, Facebook(?) alternatives and give them access to every community, and then allow each community to set its own rules, and customize its own to be unique while having a unified product to "sell" and get people to move.
Hot take? Blue Sky should be worked with to join the Fediverse as the twitter alternative and Mastodon should work to be the Facebook alternative
TLDR: One front page and general site for Lemmy, Mastodon....and to sign up and see whats popular and then have fully independent subgroups.
Google Chat or whatever uses to be federated via XMPP, but then they slowly started making incompatibility changes. Due to it being such a dominant chatting service, the real federated versions died out.
Basically I'm saying it's not worth it. If you want to support Threads or Blue Sky as a central front page to the Fediverse then go for it, but they don't actually need your support.
IMO, it isn't decentralized enough. The federated model is better than centralized corporate services, of course, but it still suffers many of the same pitfalls in microcosm. We need private, encrypted friend-to-friend connections that enable friend-of-a-friend onion routing to those outside one's personal social circle to effectively mimic how real human social networks actually work. The only middlemen we need are the friends we made along the way.
From my perspective, that's not something I'd use, or at least, it wouldn't have been much use to me when I was a young closeted queer person in small town Australia. It wouln't have been much help finding my peers
It could have been, there's nothing preventing such a network from providing a degree of anonymity by leaving your signature out of a post and adding a few increments to the distance on its onion route to obfuscate the source.
And in any case, you'd only need to make one remote friend to reach an entirely different segment of the network.
I cannot, and they can't stand me either because I've deleted more bitcoin than most of them will ever see and I've personally killed about $5million in crypto scams before they could pull out the rug. XD
A group of people who would all need to agree before action, a mini government of sorts, maybe elected idk but its the only way to gain a real foothold. The people running it are only supposed to act if illegal activity is going on and they are contacted by authorities in the appropriate jurisdiction.
The people running it are only supposed to act if illegal activity is going on and they are contacted by authorities in the appropriate jurisdiction.
which is the "appropriate" jurisdiction?
what if it's legal in my country, but it is illegal in the country where the server is? I have no other choice of server, you're taking away our ability to join servers in our own countries
Which EU country? Who's to say that's the ideal? That sounds biased. Also the "ideal" (if there is such a thing) could change over time with global politics.
Still too problematic, as what is legal and not in the EU depends on the trendy neo-nazi party du jour. Check Germany, for one, where apparently showing any disapproval of Israel gets you Gestapo'd, or that's what Lemmy administrators in Europe seem to fear. Or Italy / Spain, where any attempt to liberate sports transmissions gets half the internet shut down.
Oh, did I even mention Turkiye?
Honestly, I've always been of the opinion that projects that are intended to be truly international need to build up to some sort of "all humanity" jurisdiction or international waters jurisdiction. Since it's not like the UN is going to provide any sort of aid here.
Switzerland is probably the country most likely to leave everyone alone lol. Because they're a direct democracy and extremely decentralized. Plus internationally neutral.
It won't get bad there it's the richest country and has direct democracy, CHF 5,430 post tax median salary. There's nothing for an authoritarian party to say to convince voters who are the wealthier people (actual citizens) of Switzerland
Also the average assets for adults is over $800K they're too rich to fall to power hungry parties
Then make the "one true frontpage" for Lemmy or whatever (implement ActivityPub, maybe borrowing some code from the Lemmy codebase itself, or kindof making a fork of Lemmy), and if it's good, it'll be used. If not, it won't.
But then, it might well fall victim to this phenomenon:
Lemmy has lots of competing "front pages." How will one more change anything? A more generic domain name or something?
Quite unshocking news: Americans voted in a dictator-wannabe, because their standard of living & economy had in fact sucked for decades.

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.
We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.
There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.
Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.
Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.
Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.
Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.
Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.
We offer the following federated services:
Friendica.Eskimo.Com Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.
Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.
Mastodon.Eskimo.Com Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.
NextCloud.Eskimo.Com If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.
Pixelfed.Eskimo.Com Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.
Yacy.Eskimo.Com Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.
If you enjoy these services, please consider supporting us by taking advantage of our paid services: https://www.eskimo.com/

She will be discharged from rehab this week as soon as the hospital bed arrives and is set up.
Her condition is much better, but still not what it was before this most recent bout of pneumonia. But almost a month in the hospital will take its toll.
And most likely, she will require 24 hour care from now on. I have secured a homecare service (live-in) and will stay here until the transition is done.
Thank you for your prayers. They really have helped.
Please secure any and all things of value she has. Even with background checks things disappear or comes back as ‘she said she wanted me to have it’. Take them with you or make sure they are hidden and document all he stuff. Take photos like you would for insurance. Make sure the caregiver knows there is inventory documented. They should not be offended. Maybe also invest in Namny Cams so you can make sure she’s being treated well. Better safe than sorry. Trust me.

He examined the actual experience of a proletarian mass movement and tried to draw practical lessons from it.
Che Guevara: Many will call me an adventurer - and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
Democritus: The first principles of the universe are atoms and empty space; everything else is merely thought to exist.

I drew "Buckin' Bronchie" because I think bronchiectasis sufferers need a name (bronchies) and a mascot. Next I will draw Bronchiesaurus. Meanwhile, which of these 2 versions is better?
The "broncho" is a zebra because until recently bronchiectasis was a rare disease, and the symbol of rare diseases is the zebra.

Otto Kuusinen: As long as the working class wages only an economic struggle, the bourgeoisie does not see in that any great danger for itself; but when the working class organises politically, i.e., creates a political party which expresses its will as a class, the bourgeoisie begins seriously to fear for its rule. That is why reaction deals its main blows against the political party of the working class. At the same time, trying to undermine the party from within, capitalist propaganda endeavours to persuade the workers that they can do without their own party. One of the manifestations of bourgeois influence on the working class is the anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist denial of the leading role of a political party.
Democritus: Not from fear but from a sense of duty refrain from your sins.
Democritus: Many who have not learned wisdom live wisely, and many who do the basest deeds can make most learned speeches.
Democritus: Fools learn wisdom through misfortune.
Democritus: Strength of body is nobility in beasts of burden, strength of character is nobility in men.
Democritus: Neither art nor wisdom may be attained without learning.
Democritus: It is better to correct your own faults than those of another.
Democritus: Good means not (merely) not to do wrong, but rather not to desire to do wrong.
Democritus: Fame and wealth without wisdom are unsafe possessions.
Muammar Gaddafi: We will not surrender. We will defeat them by any means. We are ready for the fight, whether it will be a short or a long one. We will be victorious in the end. This assault is by a bunch of fascists who will end up in the dustbin of history.
Democritus: By convention sweet is sweet, bitter is bitter, hot is hot, cold is cold, color is color; but in truth there are only atoms and the void.
Democritus: We know nothing accurately in reality, but (only) as it changes according to the bodily condition, and the constitution of those things that flow upon (the body) and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Medicine heals diseases of the body, wisdom frees the soul from passions.
Democritus: Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.
Democritus: Men have fashioned an image of Chance as an excuse for their own stupidity.
Democritus: In a shared fish, there are no bones.
Democritus: Education is an ornament for the prosperous, a refuge for the unfortunate.
Democritus: The animal needing something knows how much it needs, the man does not.
Democritus: Moderation multiplies pleasures, and increases pleasure.
Democritus: If your desires are not great, a little will seem much to you; for small appetite makes poverty equivalent to wealth.
Democritus: No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.
Democritus: In fact we do not know anything infallibly, but only that which changes according to the condition of our body and of the (influences) that reach and impinge upon it.
Democritus: Of practical wisdom these are the three fruits: to deliberate well, to speak to the point, to do what is right.
Democritus: 'Tis not in strength of body nor in gold that men find happiness, but in uprightness and in fulness of understanding.
Democritus: He who does wrong is more unhappy than he who suffers wrong.
Samuel P. Huntington: The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion (to which few members of other civilizations were converted) but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.
Marjori Palmer: One of the most morale-damaging aspects of the inflation was the "sack of Germany" that occurred at the height of the (1923) inflation. Anyone who possessed dollars or sterling was king in Germany. A few American dollars would allow a man to live like a millionaire. Foreigners swarmed into the country, buying up family treasures, estates, jewelry and art works at unbelievable low prices.
Lionel Robbins: It was the most colossal thing of its kind in history: and next probably to the Great War itself, it must bear responsibility for many of the political and economic difficulties of our generation. It destroyed the wealth of the more solid elements of German society: and left behind a moral and economic disequilibrium, a breeding ground for the disasters which have followed. Hitler is the foster child of the inflation.
Lenin: There is no trace of utopianism in Marx, in the sense that he made up or invented a 'new' society.

So after trying out Mint on my old laptop for a few months I wanted to go straight to Linux on my new build what with it being surprisingly user friendly once past the initial jank.
I started with Mint Cinnamon edition which did install after some initial teething (Boot USB on safemode) but just refused to work with the wifi adapter on that motherboard, it also couldn't see the GPU but I never got to trying to resolve that since the Mint setup is pretty wifi dependant and I wasn't sure it wouldn't fix itself once it could finish sorting itself out.
I then had a friend who's been using Linux for 10 years (Some distro called tumbleweed?) reccomend I try Ubuntu as it generaly supports more hardware. It did work with wifi right out of the box but had this weird issue where it could recognize my GPU and load the right driver but then just give up and use the IGPU on my CPU anyway. Also janky with software with steam (Which I never had issues with on Mint on my laptop) just refusing to work properly and at one point getting into a cage match with snap, even when installed from steams own website rather than the application manager (with an uninstall of the old one in between of course)
We spent a good couple of hours getting slapped with weird behaviours and bugs my friend had never seen before until calling it a day.
So once again I'm here politely asking what the fuck linux!? Seriously though what do I do here, I can just about manage running windows software on afformentioned laptop mint install but linux as a whole just seems to hate this hardware setup.
Alright I'm just going with a stripped down version of windows 10, I've spent 2 days trying things from here and from that friend and from random forum posts of people with the same issue and at this point it seems no one has a consistent fix and I don't feel like building an entire operating system from scratch (nor would I know how)
Bizarre, I wouldn't expect issues with Linux on that hardware config. Perhaps try something with newer packages, I have a pretty similar setup like yours except for the CPU (7800X3D) with no issues on EndeavourOS. Fwiw, I have the Powercolor Reaper 9070XT which runs hot and loud out of the box but is pretty good now with a slight undervolt and tweaked fan curve
You hardware is very new and Linux Mint I believe has kernel 6.8. You switch to more up to date distro. Ubuntu 25.04 or Fedora 42 would be good choices. I also have a similar setup but one generation older. I have disabled the integrated GPU completely (from the BIOS) just to avoid my nightmares from using laptops with hybrid-graphics.

Les gouvernements occidentaux sont obligés d’abandonner satanyahu et de faire pression sur lui pour qu’il mette fin à la guerre, car ils réalisent pleinement qu’il perdra à tous les niveaux : militairement, politiquement et judiciairement.
Les gouvernements occidentaux tentent d’atténuer les dommages causés par leur soutien à une guerre d’extermination et de terreur depuis près de deux ans.
Ils ne méritent ni éloges ni remerciements pour avoir changé d’avis sur le criminel de guerre satanyahu . Il faut plutôt maintenir la pression sur eux, et leur rôle dans les crimes sionistes et leur responsabilité pour chaque goutte de sang versée par leurs armes et leur argent doivent être révélés.
Ils sont tenus d’intervenir militairement contre le terrorisme israélien. C’est une revendication que les activistes occidentaux ont commencé à formuler. Tout ce qui est inférieur à cela représente une continuation de la participation à un crime qui n’a pas d’équivalent dans l’histoire de l’humanité.

Qu'on le veuille ou non, entre le non-dit et le déni, le conflit israélo -palestinien est omniprésent au festival de Cannes et l'ombre de l'acteur Jean-Pierre Bacri plane au-dessus des convives et des 400 personnalités du monde du cinéma signataires d'une tribune contre le génocide en cours à Gaza .
Pourquoi n'avons-nous pas voulu entendre sa voix pleine d’humanité , passée sous un étrange silence , comme d'autres, il y a plusieurs années dans la plupart de nos médias .
Quand ce monstre sacré du cinéma français, décédé à 69 ans , le 18 janvier 2021 s’adressait à Israël, voici ce qu'il disait :
« Je veux que le peuple palestinien ait un État. Lorsque Israël réintégrera les frontières de 1967( comme l’exige la résolution de l’ONU ), et respectera les palestiniens, comme les Juifs ont envie d’être respectés, alors je serai de nouveau « avec eux ». Ce peuple, qui depuis des millénaires, a acquis pour son malheur, une telle culture de la persécution, ce peuple juif devrait être imparable et absolument parfait en ce qui concerne les autres. Nous ne devrions jamais mépriser, jamais humilier un autre peuple. On devrait être les premiers de la classe […] Je suis juif. Je suis juif parce que je suis né juif et que je n’y peux rien. Mais je ne le porte pas pour autant comme un drapeau. Je suis anti communautarisme, mais d’une force que vous n’imaginez pas. Je déteste , que les institutions juives parlent en mon nom, et je déteste , lorsqu’en France, on parle à tout bout de champ, de la « communauté juive » et « du peuple juif ». Je suis juif, c’est vrai, mais je ne suis pas le peuple juif. Je ne pense pas comme lui, je ne suis pas comme lui. Je suis d’abord moi. Et pour commencer je suis citoyen du monde. Et de la France parce que c’est mon pays , parce que c’est une langue que j’adore dans laquelle je crée et j’écris « . ( Jean-Pierre Bacri, extraits de son interview qu’il avait accordé au grand journal indépendant israélien le Jerusalem Post ) #FestivalDeCannes #Gaza

Texas politics is very corrupt and Abbott at least does the right thing 60% of the time, but I just haven't seen anyone else yet that I would consider.
So right now, it's Abbott for me.

in reply to TXPatriot2021🇨🇱✝ΣΧ🇺🇲 • • •Unfortunately, he's running for re-election for Lt. Governor.
Sometimes, I get the idea that Abbott is running for re-election explicitly to keep Patrick out of the mansion, because if Dan ran, he would win, so Abbott is keeping the seat occupied for the Bushites so he can run the clock down.
