I don’t agree. I think the Israeli’s needed breathing room to move forward with the Greater Israel project. The US was brought in to disrupt the Iranian support of Hamas. It was never about winning. It’s about providing military assistance to Israel for colonisation of the Middle East.

@Tango@piefed.ca makes a lot of good points. The EU is currently funneling billions into the Eastern front. If the US was to set up shop in Greenland. Could the EU meaningfully push back. They are so entwined with the US any type of war would be a disaster, trade or otherwise.

If the US seriously invades Greenland there’s not a lot Europe can do. Almost all EU tech infrastructure relies on US companies. They’d be fucked.

Strap in. It’s about to get even worse.

That seems quite high. How many people would actually watch as soon as they got the notification? Do their videos usually get 500k views in the first hour?

It wouldn’t have to be all or nothing at first. They could still post to Youtube to share the load. Start with 3 servers and see how they get on.

Wht not spin up their own peertube instance? The tech is there. Idk how it would work out cost wise. 25M subscribers is a lot but how many simultaneous viewers would there be? 1000 is manageable, would probably only need one server. Creators must take distribution into their own hands.

This is soooo fucked. In 20 years the rest of the world will have sanctions on the US for producing too much CO2. If he hates windmills why not invest in other green tech. $1B in gas infrastructure when we’ve already hit 1.5°C of warming is insanity.

Trump will get “assassinated” by “Iran” soon. JD Vance will take the helm, declare a national emergency, suspend midterms and go full boots on ground invasion of the middle East.

Maybe a bit too much tinfoil in my hat but this is the craziest timeline lol

I can believe that but I think the more important metric is labour hours vs food produced. Less labour and more food means more time for other activities.

A support network for civil disobedience can never exist. The state would shut it down immediatly. And yet disobedience must occur if the system is to truly change.

This is where we find ourselves. Destroy flock cameras. Don’t get caught. Support Palestine Action. Don’t get caught. Use what little time is available to fight back. But most importantly, don’t get caught because no one else can afford to save you.

Indeed. I can certainly see the benefits of this type of activity. I’m not saying it’s a bad idea for mental health and a sense of community.

But we had better community in the past and still felt the crushing weight of capitalism. Fighting back means fighting back. Community gardening is the left side of the meme.

Sorry but community gardening as a solution is one of the worst I’ve heard. It’s very hard to achieve the same level of scale and efficiancy that large farms do with these small gardens. For instance, I see no machinery in this picture. Are we really wanting to go back to the days where farming is done by hand?

Sure it’s good for the soul to get together and grow things but as a means to feed society it’s just not viable.

Do you really think a small group of farmers is ungovernable? Peasant farmers have been exploited for pretty much the entire history of humanity!

Ungovernable means civil disobedience, it means sabotage. It does mean building community, but if your community only wants to farm, remember to pay the king after the harvest.

Lol spot on! This is exactly how the current economy is working 🙈

I’d be interested in your take on NymVPN. Governence is still a bit opaque but they do provide a novel way to incentivise operators to join the network.

Perhaps in the future we could see a ride share app powered in this way. Operators and drivers paid by an algorithm based on work done. Funded by users paying with a specific coin. With the interchangeability of cryptocoin it wouldn’t matter if there are competing projects. The governance question still remains though.

It is! Living in Gaza sounds hellish. Unfortunately the people that made this decision live somewhere close to heaven.

I certainly wouldn’t say it’s comical. Ukraine have lost the major city of Donesk. https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375

I have seen evidence of violent conscription on both sides. This is a serious war. Russia are changing their entire economy to capture as much of Ukraine as possible.

Thanks, that’s a great point about IVPN and Gibraltar. They do have a warren canary but I’ve heard those are bullshit too. The question is, are they compromised already or not.

I only bought a month of time so maybe i’ll move to Nym. They have decentralized servers and have mixnet functionally which seems a safer bet.

It’s pretty mental! What do they mean their internal systems were compromised but everything’s fine. Not even any downtime??

It feels like OpenAI removed guardrails, gave an agent a path to internet access and said attack HuggingFace. At the same time HuggingFace left some vulnerabilities on a machine in a sandbox and waited for OpenAI to arrive.

Still impressive that agents can to that now but the hole thing stinks of marketing. I reckon unless HF sues OpenAI it was planned from the start lol

All I know is the profits of Mullvad go to bad causes. Yes IVPN aren’t perfect but the services are so similar the choice should be obvious. Until a better alternative comes along i’m going to use the one that does less harm.

Damn that’s the only thing they don’t offer compared to the others 💔

Nope they’re owned by a single person. I hope he’ll be more responsible. If you know of any non-profit vpn providers let me know! Happy to switch again

I can vouch for IVPN. Made the switch when I heard the news and its been pretty seamless. Generated an account number and funded it with monero. There’s an fdroid app too! Service has been really good so far

I made the switch to IPVN and it’s felt exactly the same. Maybe even better. Same price. Servers in multiple locations. Allows routing through 2 VPN servers. No logs. No money going to racist ideology.

Mullvad can claim whatever they like about their values, but they are a for-profit company. The profits of the company are being used to fund racial segregation. If they believe in their values they’ll switch to a non-profit foundation. Until that time they can get fucked!
