I feel like it hasn't been much of a problem lately, even unblocked

hello!

gen z had like 14% turnout, this election doesn't really tell us anything about their political views.

Recruitment is up this week, by about 1.5-2x the usual amount. I hope the Trump Bump continues.

Show

just a thing I found

Looking at the current results, all the Stein votes going to Harris wouldn't change the results.

Seeing a bit of a Trump Bump, now's a perfect time to encourage people to join orgs

Already hearing people pre-emptively blaming Stein for Michigan and Arizona

I'll plug the IWW, I guess. Landback is a little out of scope, but we do try to address settler colonial issues, we've made some resolutions on that, and we have the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee which ends up doing a lot of work with empoc people (given the nature of the American prison system and all).

The IWW won't endorse lib politicians or campaign for them, which can be a concern for other socialist orgs. We have quite a few union shops, and even recently we've won actual material benefits for workers. And, of course, the IWW makes an explicit rejection of "a fair days wage for a fair days work", and calls for the abolition of the wage system (and capitalism).

The IWW doesn't have any issue with dual-carding or being a member of other socialist organizations (if I remember right, DSA doesn't allow PSL members, or something), it isn't trying to be a political party, but instead a labor union.

It's not without issues, of course, but those are mostly at the national level (and should hopefully be less of an issue next year). Major conduct violations (harassment, SA, etc.) pretty quickly lead to expulsion, but such violations aren't that frequent. There isn't screening to become a member, but joining an organizing unit (GMB, IU, etc.) generally requires an interview.

It's a shame they didn't budge on the pension, that was one of the major demands.

Kamala wins by a large margin, but then faithless electors flip to for Trump.

Solidarity.

Soon-Shiong was born in South Africa, and under apartheid was considered "colored". Basically everyone that wasn't white was discriminated against, Chinese were legally second-class citizens.

It was only well into the 70's, more than 20 years after his birth, that some Asians started getting "honorary white" status.

I don't think there's been any proof that they are anywhere near Ukraine, but there was that one geolocated video of North Koreans in Russia, about 70 miles from the NK border.

That's because it's never the same stuff in "pink cocaine". There is no real recipe, there are many manufacturers (it's literally no effort, lol).

yes but no but maybe

depends on what a beanis is. according to the UN, "BEANS, DRY" excludes lentils.

I really wasn't expecting what I found when I looked at https://darkrenaissance.github.io/darkfi/philosophy/philosophy.html

Citing the PKK and Baudrillard to justify a crypto project? Saying the fall of the Soviet Union was bad? Opposing anarch-capitalism?

Kinda weird, and it doesn't seem like the philosophy has that much to do with the actual code.

restic to a local server and to cloud storage. it varies by device, but usually just everything in /home/. The rest of the operating system should be reproducible, whether through images, ansible, nix, or guix, given the information in /home/.

scheduling is done through systemd, usually (or the non-systemd equivalent). I use BackBlaze now, but I switch around occasionally. restic has policy based snapshot removal, and a prune option.
