China - Digital (Extinction)

In dystopian China, where the social credit system is already a reality, the state can simply make any rebellious citizen bankrupt and homeless at the push of a button. Nothing works in China without the WeChat app. This is the wet dream our rulers have in store for us. This is a glimpse into our future if we fail to awaken a larger mass of people.

#Trump
I'm glad everyone had fun at the #nokings protect and they finally are getting out and doing at least something. I did not attend. I've been screaming about this issue for 2 decades now, and apathy was the name of the game for most people. I also worry its a bit of a check valve and wont convert into the boring tedious work essential to fix this, so it never happens again. Literally all of this could have been prevented. ALL OF THIS had people been paying attention!
The year after his second election as a convicted felon and sex offender, I'm still incredibly burnt out, exhausted, anxiety ridden and depressed about the American people in general. I marched in the women's march and the science march in 2017. I feel like nothing changed.No structures were built up for or by the citizenry to sustain any of the emotions we had at the marches.
Trump didn't lose by an organized effort, but more, people were sick of him, then had the memory of goldfish once things got better under Biden. Until we build things like sustainable community or political organizations that bring in the people using social events like the NRA and old democratic party, we are just going to see this cycle repeat every other election until there is none. Especially if we are able to vote Trump out without too much of a fight.
Once the election is over, the liberals and democrats go home and wait for 2-4 years. The right and powerful are ALWAYS being political. Unless we have that same level of continual urgency, in another 8 years many will be going, "hey how bad can it be?" and then the next year protesting the tyrant all over again after they realize they've seen this movie before they just memory holed it until it was too late.. #Trump

As an outlander familiar with monarchies I can only add that the U.S. president publicly has more power than "constitutional" monarchies.
They leave it to parliaments to do the dirty work..

I also have the suspicion that the accusation of "authoritarianism" is only made when people disagree with the laws/decrees being made.

If no changes have been made to the constitution and other written-in-stone procedures, then surely Trump is just exposing weaknesses that have always been there but people didn't mind because they were generally used against people abroad and not domestically?

One thing I find kind of fascinating is the way artistic genres can sometimes emerge from what's essentially pranks and hoaxes.

Pro-wrestling is a good example of that, it has its roots in rigged wrestling matches and it spent a lot of time maintaining this polite fiction that it wasn't staged long past the time where it had gone from being an attempt to scam people to being a form of entertainment and artistic expression in its own right.

(There was a time when just enough people genuinely wrestling was real that you might feel the need to point out that its not, but enough people knew that it wasn't that "wrestling is fake!" was seen as kind of an annoying position to hold, like being the one guy getting angry at model train enthusiasts because their photos of trains are "faked", they are real model trains!")

I was under the impression that outcomes weren't fixed

there's some cooperative performances, sure, but some off that has to be there to prevent injuries, as resisting a move or attack can be more dangerous than rolling with it; like a dance partnership but who's leading changes

I probably shouldn't be surprised if I heard match outcomes in pro wrestling were determined in advance?

but there's still dynamic performance and athleticism on display

i have a media server that runs nixos, which i love because i keep the files on removable media and the media server is sort of "immutable" and i can just delete it and recreate it from a single file

however, i want to move away from nixos because of the project's political leanings... as part of my larger efforts to move my home tech stack away from fascists

anyway: does anyone have suggestions for similarly immutable servers? should i just write a bunch of provisioning scripts? should i use guix? should i write my own immutable linux distro from scratch?

has anyone else done something like this?

im currently leaning towards either shell scripts + arch or alpine... or guix.

the plus side of guix is that it would force me to write a bit of Scheme and it's always beneficial for me to force myself to do functional programming...

Noch leben wir in der Osteuropรคischen Zeitzone, die eigentlich fรผr Griechenland oder die Ukraine gemacht ist. Die meisten nennen das #Sommerzeit, aber das ist Unfug, denn der Sommer ist schon lange vorbei.

Ab dem 26. Oktober passt es dann wieder: Etwa gegen 12 Uhr mittags steht die Sonne am hรถchsten Punkt. Damit passen die innere, biologische Zeitmessung, die sich am Lauf der Sonne orientiert, und die รคuรŸere, soziale Zeitmessung, die sich an den Uhren und dem Schul- und Arbeitsbeginn orientiert, wieder besser zusammen. Wir werden tiefer, erholsamer und im Mittel mehr schlafen. Auch andere innere Rhythmen werden stabiler und stรคrker sein.
