@AlexanderVI you are 100% correct. I grew up in California and have lived all over the country. There are large numbers of heavily armed people *everywhere* in America (it's just that red states are more likely to have open carry so you *see them* more). And conservatives in blue states are the *worst* — resentful, protected from their bad decisions by blue state policies but extra aggrieved because they don't have the majority cultural power to inflict their bigotry on everyone.

@milkman76 I'm not, but my experience of ten years in LA being around a wide variety of people from different backgrounds was that those on the right were generally more comfortable with gun ownership, and that there are many places in the state that are deeply red despite the overall impression of some outside that California is all groovy and whatever.

I am sure, however, as you point out, that it's not EXCLUSIVELY right wingers who are armed.

Meanwhile, in #LosAngeles. #ICE under attack b/c this👇

Via "feminist news", facebook.
"ICE agents and #LAPD turned the beautiful city of LA into a war zone Friday evening. Heavily armed masked ICE goons ransacked a vibrant immigrant community, but they certainly weren't expecting the neighborhood to stand their ground. Hundreds of community members workers and activists overwhelmed ICE agents and had them corralled around the federal building."

The #Madleen crew has almost arrived! For those who have felt powerless watching the #genocide, or simply do not wish to see evil triumph by doing nothing, now is the chance to support them:

- Email the different government authorities to ask them to protect their citizen(s)

- or send a letter to the Israeli authorities (almost 1 million sent),
link on the page freedomflotilla.org

-or email their foreign ministries

What is the Least Bad Chromium-based browser? Been getting really fucking fed up with how slow Firefox has been lately

I’m not particularly picky about it needing to be 100% FOSS or de-Googled or anything. I just want to be able to sync my bookmarks and extensions across several computers, both Windows and macOS

What load balancers can do HA (preferably open source, web gui)


Hello, I am looking for a alternative to HA Proxy, as the GUI options for it, are both third-party and not very good looking, also I just want to know about the alternatives, what I am looking in a high availability setup is the ability to detect if a server is offline, and route to other servers, as well as other HA goodies.

To modern eyes, it sounds bizarre—but placing a live frog in a milk bucket was once a clever survival tactic. In rural Russia and Finland, people noticed that milk stayed fresh longer when a frog was swimming in it. This tradition, passed down for generations, was based on keen observation rather than scientific understanding.

Years later, researchers discovered the truth: brown frogs secrete powerful antimicrobial peptides through their skin—natural compounds that fight off bacteria. What seemed like folklore turned out to be early biochemistry in action. A frog in your milk wasn’t just a rural myth—it was an unwitting act of preservation.

A controversial Greens bill allowing the South Australian government to seize private land without consent or compensation has passed the upper house.

Critics say the bill is a "fundamental breach of property rights" and described it as "Communism".
