For me, it's not about nostalgia. It's not about "RETVRN" to anything.
For me, retro is about the people. Most of them are awesome. Much nicer in general than I am -- as long as you can tune out the wankers.
It's also about the tech -- retro systems, in many ways, work better than new ones.
A retro system does what you tell it, and NOTHING ELSE. It exists to serve you. It doesn't pretend to offer things it doesn't. It just does what a computer is supposed to do.
There is a kind of dignity in having a computer and knowing that, with the right documentation, you can really understand how and why it works, and how to adjust it if needed.
yeah, i agree. i would argue that it's sort of (but not entirely) nostalgia (though my brain works in a weird way so i could be conflating nostalgia for something else), but specifically for the time where the computer was like this. though you're right that it's not about "retvrn" because we all know the past was less good than now. it's just the computers from then happened to be better. although, it is possible to make things in current day that are better than retro things (example: tangara is better than ipod)
@tauon I love the Tangara. I wish I owned one, but I have had other priorities. The Tangara is as retro as it is anything else -- a callback to a way of making things that is seldom done anymore, to the detriment of society.
Los nazis en Torre Pacheco pidiendo que acudamos los gitanos. Nos tratan como a sus mascotas. Quieren hacernos creer que nosotros somos la minoría buena, la que toleran para pisar cada día, la que lleva 600 años callada. Por eso creen que estamos con ellos.

"Wake Up America" by Miley Cyrus is an empowering anthem that encourages listeners to take action for the planet. With its catchy melody and meaningful lyrics, this song resonates with those who care about environmental issues and the future of our world. Miley's passionate delivery makes it a standout track from her album "Breakout," released in 2008.
🎵 L Y R I C S 🎵: Oh, Can we take care of her? Oh, Maybe you can spare her Several moments of your consideration Leading up to the final destination
Oh, The Earth is calling out I wanna learn what it's all about but Everything I read Global warming, going green I don't know what all this means But it seems to be saying
Wake up America We're all in this together It's our home so let's take care of it You know that you want to You know that you got to Wake up America Tomorrow becomes a new day And everything you do matters Yea everything you do matters in some way
Stand up, I'll try if you will Wake up, it's not a fire drill All she needs is a little attention Can you give her just a little attention?
Oh, it's easy to look away But it's getting harder day by day Everything I read Global warming, going green I don't know what all this means But it seems to be saying
C'mon! Wake up America We're all in this together It's our home so let's take care of it You know that you want to You know that you got to Wake up America Tomorrow becomes a new day And everything you do matters Yea everything you do matters in some way

Miley, you’ve hit the nail on the head! It’s crucial for Americans to wake up and recognise the urgent need to stop polluting our planet. The ongoing drilling for oil and coal is not just harmful; it’s a direct threat to our future. We must disengage from the toxic politics of figures like Donald Trump, who prioritise profit over the environment, and instead focus on sustainable solutions.
Elon Musk, despite his innovations, often plays into the same narrative of exploiting resources for personal gain. These bad apples are leading us down a path where the rich get richer while the poor suffer from the pollution and devastation they create. It’s time to demand accountability and push for policies that protect our planet and its people. We need a collective effort to create a healthier, more equitable world for everyone!
Absolutely spot on, Miley! It's high time that Americans wake up to the harsh realities of pollution and environmental degradation. The relentless digging and drilling for oil and coal must come to an end. We need to disengage from the exploitative politics that prioritise profit for the wealthy few over the health of our planet and its people. It's disheartening to see the rich getting richer while the poor suffer the consequences of their greed. We must advocate for a sustainable future that benefits everyone, not just a select elite. Let's stand together for a cleaner, healthier world!
Hey Miley, it’s Taylor! I just wanted to take a moment to appreciate your song "Wake Up America." The message is so powerful and resonates deeply with me. You're absolutely right - something has to be done to save our planet, and it’s frustrating to see how much pollution comes from the U.S.
As artists, we have a responsibility to raise awareness and inspire change. Let’s keep pushing for a better future together! 🌍💚
You know when you consider that most of the “upper crust” of society appear to be involved in some weird pedo sex cult being run by a foreign country and that they vacillate wildly between being complete idiot megalomaniacs and narcissistic psychopaths…
It’s actually pretty shocking things are working as well as they are.
@JagahatiI don't know that it is most of them. It certainly is a large percentage of the creepy pedos. Not sure what the ratio is between elites, government school teachers, trailer park folk, and other.
It’s also about being part of the club, cross network insurance / mutually assured character destruction, commission of crimes that mark you as an enemy of God, decency and morality.
Doing it and getting away with it?
Well that’s about power. And if you can get away with that… what couldn’t you get away with if you stick with the club?
Except provoking, now zionists attack people into European parliament. On the behalf of a foreign state which commit genocide and yesterday was shooting European diplomats. And this kind of politicians are still on their positions serving a foreign (terrorist) entity. And nobody calls them "agents".
I use keepass too, But i prefer proton-pass-bin because it syncs automatically with all my devices and it does passwords for apps too automatically which is nice on android
My super critical passwords and shit are always hosted on my own servers.
I used to use passbolt self hosted but their phone pairing using QR codes got fucked and it locked me out so i stopped using that.
There also is no official package for proton-pass on gentoo so i figured why not use it when im maintaining it on there
Also fuck what's with this wave of sites that block pasting for password fields? What the fuck is this supposed to prevent?? Thank fuck KeePass has an auto-type feature or I'd be crashing out and sending so many goddamn allcaps emails. But on mobile I guess you're fucked, I guess just splitscreen and transcribe while dealing with all the shit that entails.
Primarily it's my local credit union, they outsourced online banking to some jeets and their new app is vomit-inducing. I'd successfully gotten my mom to use KeePassDX, but their app blocks pasting. Even going to the browser version, mobile or desktop view, doesn't matter, can't paste on mobile. Had to resort to using Googleshit to store her password since it's a one-tap solution. Sent them a strongly-worded email and chose a very explicit username for myself when they made me switch.
@a8kjzue64juj0003@neondystopia.world @Vo@noauthority.social Proton is trustworthy, but I got burnt too many times, now I'm seeking more generic solutions — so I can easily migrate elsewhere or self-host. I have Proton Unlimited, but I only use VPN and mail. Their VPN software is okay, but on my home network I prefer having a dedicated ARM box that is always connected with OpenVPN, then I route all web traffic through Squid running on this machine. I'm yet to figure out how to use their Stealth protocol which is basically Wireguard over TLS without their software, I've built their fork of wireguard-go which they use in their Android app, but I'm yet to figure out how to invoke it so it uses TLS and not the default UDP for transport.
I do use their mail app on Android — should probably switch to bridge + K9 mail, but I'm a lazy ass 😅 BTW I think Bridge has a wrapper which checks for updates, but I've built a binary myself, put it in ~/go/bin and never bothered updating — that is what I use on my laptops. And for scripts I have hydroxide hosted on the same ARM machine, it's an "unofficial" bridge: github.com/emersion/hydroxide Official one doesn't support 32-bit ARM machines, I've tried porting it, but ran into numerous difficulties and hydroxide mostly works as expected.
And for calendars/tasks/address books I've switched to self-hosting Radicale: radicale.org/ It's normal CardDAV/CalDAV server so you can use it with any compatible software and it works nicely on Android phone with DAVx⁵
I really want to like Proton Pass, but I never got comfortable with password managers — well, I do use the one built into Firefox for disposable passwords and I have pass on a special machine for more sensitive ones. On the one hand Pass looks like a more streamlined solution, but on the other… why bother? 😁
All that said, Proton is still very cool, I wish them all the best in their mission of making switching away from Google easy for the less tech-savvy folk.
radicale just works and just works well. i was concerned id have to rely on service. but its deployed on local system, tls terminated behind proxy. attached to wireguard so can reach it anywhere i am even though i dont travel much.
hydroxide works. but if you don't keep it updated sometimes things stop working. not a big deal but can be annoying
Radicale's awesome — easy to set up, easy to back up and otherwise hassle-free. Their guide even has a note on how to configure git hook to put everything under version control, which comes in handy when some weird software decides to cull fields from vCards in the address book all of a sudden — saved my ass a few times. And DAVx⁵ makes it very easy to set up on a phone — both projects are well worth being donated to!
if you don't keep it updated sometimes things stop working. not a big deal but can be annoying
This used to be the case, but I think it's been a couple of years since I had to update the binary, looks like now API got stabilised. Well, in any case, AFAIK Simon (emersion) is no longer interested in supporting the IMAP part so switching to official bridge might still be a wise idea. I hate proton for closing the VPN API endpoint for unauthenticated users, I had my own tiny tool to retrieve server load info, which I used for switching to the least loaded server from a predefined list of exit countries in a cron job. Now I have to figure out a way to authenticate — maybe not a bad thing, my last tool was in Go, time to apply my skills and re-implement it in Rust 😄
> Their guide even has a note on how to configure git hook to put everything under version control, which comes in handy when some weird software decides to cull fields from vCards in the address book all of a sudden — saved my ass a few times.
i guess i should take time to read the guide. this is awesome

i only used them prior when part of paid gift sub i received 😅 but it worked pretty well. i had used their client (circa 2018) on a t440 and it worked but felt bloaty(?).
do they support raw wireguard connections these days? if so either kernel-level or userspace (wireguard-go) is optimal imho
do they support raw wireguard connections these days?
Yes, they do support "normal" WireGuard — over UDP that is. Last I checked, in-kernel implementation worked fine for me. Alas, we have local… "peculiarities" — WireGuard connections to the outside world are filtered by most ISPs and cell carriers. Wrapping it in TLS makes it somewhat obfuscated — at least it looks like a legitimate connection, not something-something VPN. Right now on my phone to access "unfiltered" Internet I have to use WireGuard to connect to my home network where I have a box always connected to Proton over OpenVPN and use Squid proxy running on it — not exactly your average guy's setup, but I don't really mind as it enables me to access my internal resources directly from my phone. Sadly, OpenVPN is also not guaranteed to always work — sometimes they start filtering its traffic too 😩 Some get a cheap VPS and host a VPN server for even more obfuscated protocols like V2/VLess — good protocols, I believe that's what they use to bypass censorship in China! Problem is — sometimes they start blocking IP ranges, AFAIK currently Hetzner and CloudFlare are blocked, so they might also block my VPS at some point. Proton at least has hundreds of entry points belonging to IP ranges of different countries — at least some of them should remain reachable. That is why I think figuring out how to use their flavour of WireGuard wrapped in TLS is still a good strategy for now.
La presse moto, c’est chaque jour un peu plus de la merde. Dernier exemple en date, le courrier des lecteurs ou un lecteur se plaint de vocabulaire sexiste et pas inclusif, et se fait rembarrer par la rédaction de façon totalement minable
Oui, j'ai l'impression que ça dégrade… Je lisais moto journal parce que j'étais abonné avec l'assurance avant de me désabonner. Mais Oui, dans les années 2000, ça me paraissait un journal sérieux, ça c'est dégradé dans les années 2010, j'ai l'impression. Un peu comme FFMC qui est encore à défendre des trucs du dernier millénaire.
@iergo Tous les militants qui font des campagnes contre le bruit,la vitesse excessive, de bien s’équiper, garder son pot d’origine, vont sensibiliser des milliers de collégiens chaque année, élaborent des schémas directeurs de baisse de l’accidentalité, sont présents au CNSR, des reprises de guidon au printemps, vous ont évité un CT AUTO en 4-2-1-1, et j’en passe, devraient te remercier sincèrement pour ces allants dénigrants sans aucun argument, éclairants sur la vacuité de ton jugement
@tonton_mollo j’ai longtemps été à la FFMC, mais j’ai arreté quand nos avis ont divergé. Mais le pire, c’est MotoMag’ qui est devenu terriblement boomer-powered au point que je me suis desabonné. Ça fait super bizarre de voir des gens aux idée généreuses virer très à droite en si peu de temps. Cc @iergo
@iergo Et puisque tu passes de la presse moto à la #ffmc (on ne sait pourquoi), MJ n'a rien à voir avec les éditions de la FFMC qui édite le mensuel Moto Magazine où la charte éditoriale n'aurait jamais permis les dérapages qu'à mentionné Tristan, et où tu ne trouveras jamais de représentations dégradante, type hôtesses GP ou publicités limites.
@tonton_mollo Bonjour, on peut se parler courtoisement avant de parler de mon jugement ? J'étais adhérent de la FFMC avant de laisser tomber, parce qu'effectivement c'était toujours les même sujets en boucle dont une opposition frontale au contrôle technique. Avec toujours cette ambiance viriliste et cette obsession de la moto plaisir au détriment d'autres sujets ou la FFMC aurait pu avoir un temps d'avance (écologie, déplacement urbain, etc… ). @nitot
C'est vrai qu'accuser un mouvement qui a plus de 40 ans avec des jugements sans arguments vraiment fondés et le juger très à droite c'est une façon apaisée et polie de discuter.

"...these movements sourced their political strength from populations experiencing economic woes, real or imagined. Fascists tended to capitalize on these economic anxieties by shifting the blame away from government or market forces. Jews, immigrants, leftists, and other groups became useful scapegoats. Redirecting popular anger toward these people would, in theory, rid a country of its ailments."
In the US, these economic woes were due to wealth inequality, a product of continual extraction of profit from the community -- ordinary workers and consumers.

lately i've been thinking the african sense of time (what is the future? i simply enjoy the moment) is way better than the american sense of time (i worry because time is money)

if you have no concept of time and of the future, it is only possible to look at today meanwhile yankees cannot see today because they are looking further ahead, but the future is impossible to know regardless of how much planning is done (the negro is right), so they are actually completely blind
the niggers living as hunter-gatherers are quite alright, it's too bad industrial society and its consequences exist
the nigger can simply make a new hut very quickly if a nigger ran over an american mudhut with an elephant, the american would send money to israel and be homeless
in that scenario, a real American would pull himself up by his bootstraps and build an even better house, and then send money to Israel
also I'm not sure Africans can ride elephants or even know how to domesticate animals, when they see an animal the only options in their heads is kill/run away/rape

People in part of Texas have suffered a disaster that they partly brought on themselves. That includes the flood itself - many years of voting for climate denialists have permitted more global heating and that enabled the flood. And it
[2/4] includes the wrecker's efforts to weaken and abolish FEMA. How should we express our disgust for those political policies in relation to the resulting non-natural disasters? A doctor in Texas wished for Republican voters in the flood region to suffer the bad consequences of their votes. That is not the right ethical position. Many Kerr County voters are getting the consequences most of them voted for - but we should be sad for that, not wish for that. Their votes were foolish because
[3/4] of their bad consequences; we should regret both those foolish votes and their bad consequences. People get the government their behavior deserves, but people always deserve good government. We can say that people brought disaster themselves without wishing for disaster to harm them. We can wish that they learn to make wise decisions without wishing for a disaster so "to teach them" that lesson. Moreover, disasters don't always get people to be compassionate towards each other.

"Ghislaine Maxwell is willing to speak in front of Congress about The Epstein Files, sources tell Daily Mail...

Knowing how fatal is it to go public about one's willingness to talk about this, I hope she makes it.

That seems to not be the case. I grant you, it is not now what it was in its glory, but a company isn't an individual person, it can die and come back in a new form.
Whether that form is good or not is a judgment call, I suppose.
@millihertz There is certainly such a case to be made -- for most of its later history, Commodore was synonymous with mismanagement. Fractic may well be just as bad, but it's a bit early to say. So far, they've made sane, reasonable decisions.
@millihertz Certainly, this new Commodore is not the same exact company as the one from my youth -- but I think a reasonable case can be made for it to be the de facto inheritor of the legacy, and should be permitted time and space to prove whether or not it is worthy of the name.
@mos_8502 it already appears to be doing better at that than any company that's owned the rights since, tbh... true, that's a low bar, but i don't think anyone can reasonably question that the people involved are dedicated to properly reviving Commodore, rather than buying the rights as an underpants-gnome profiteering scheme
@millihertz They've pre-sold almost 3,000 units of the new C64 Ultimate so far. Very not bad. If they can keep the thing in production (a fair sized "if") and it keeps selling (an even bigger "if") then we might see a bit of resurgence in gamedev for the platform, as the majority of users will be on the Ultimate or an equivalent, and that's a lot more power for games to play with.
@millihertz These trends are... encouraging, I would say is the word. Not mind blowing, not disappointing. Steady sales with very little advertising outside our circles.
@mos_8502 The fact that it's steady increase and not just like a single jump when the announcement video was released or some blog posted about it is the most encouraging part I'd say
