I have gained a lot of sympathy for the comrades who post here from lemmy.ml. That place is rancid holy smokes, the entire thread is full of some of the most bazinga brain libs I’ve seen in my life. Extremely weird understanding of politics, double standards for what counts as censorship
i was a reddit refugee and now they've made me a lemmy.ml refugee; why can't they just go back to digg or myspace or something?!
tldr: things are crazy so we must keep doing the same things we've always been doing to make it better.
the most galling part of this message is acknowledging biden's position on gaza and aipac's stranglehold over biden et al., but still not calling out biden on it; it would resonate MUCH more strongly for an ally to publicly call out an ally on being a patsy for isreal.
he's one of the very few people who could do it and i'm sure he knows that; but he still won't and i wish i could understand why because the sentimental part of me wants to rejoin that fold.
the windows driver allows for full wifi-6/7 speeds in ap mode and is the only way, afaik, to get it with intel cards
there are other efforts to backwards engineer or hack the changes that disables higher speeds in ap mode for linux; but none worked when i tried about 10-ish months ago. i tired these ones:
and if you don't have a windows key like me, do yourself a favor and create a windows image instead of a vm and keep re-using it to get around the windows validation setup timeout after 30 days. (i didn't realize this until after the fact so i had to create a work around with ansible to stop/copy/paste/launch the vm every 30 days)
i have a single box i use for data storage; backup; wifi; router; and switch.
it runs ubuntu on the bare iron with
a windows 10 kvm/qemu vm with pci pass through on wifi to get 1 gig wifi speeds on intel in ap mode (intel won't allow it using linux drivers)
a pfsense kvm/qemu vm for router & firewall to internet and with pci pass through on a 1 gig nic to gap the internet from the base ubuntu
dns & ip masquerade along with kvm/qemu based sofware defined networking for windows, pfsense and ubuntu to forward all wifi and cabled network through to internet and
connected via 3 gig nic and switch for much faster local data storage and backup on the ubuntu install.
vpn and remote backup using pfsense for access to my setup from anywhere else in the world. (eg routing traffic from the office to my home connection for personal use and access to my data)
topographically, it looks like this, but in reality it's all one box:
intellectual pursuits combined with recent-ish DNA test revealed to me that i'm from a very recently dead culture (american yaqui & tarahumara) whose very few aware decedents have been fighting tooth-and-nail to re-cultivate it by patterning themselves after their nearest cousins (mexican yaqui & tarahumara) along with a recent recognition from the american government for the pascua reservation in arizona.
they were literally wiped out by the pogroms carried out by colonial settlers in the american southwestern united states during the 19th and early 20th centuries and it was merely the imaginary line on the map called the mexican border that allowed anything from the culture to survive at all.
if it weren't for people who rejected colonialist narrative of indigenous people happily becoming mestizos (or americans with Cherokee princess great grandma's); there would be nothing but a fringe belief and, if it weren't for DNA tests that heavily bolsters it, that fringe belief would continue to wane into nothingness.
you'd think that 2/3rds of your DNA being tied to a group of people and their genocide occurring less than 2 generations ago would ensure that something of that cultural inheritance would survive, but I'm living & breathing proof that the colonial narrative is MUCH more powerful than any heritage as the older generations of my family continue to strenuously reject both the science and the lore of their true roots.
he's always has been and will always be an establishment democrat who used to dunk on minorities for easy political points like trump currently does; but people do their best to whitewash his past to differentiate him from trump, making the farce more noticeable to people to pay the slightest bit of attention.
legalizing weed would give him an easy victory and the fact that he won't do it proves his establishment democrat character.
every time i eat an overpriced steak at a steak house or a greasy hamburger from a fast food restaurant, i think of this knowing that such a thing would become a luxury that future generations will covet and put a lot of effort and time into saving enough money to indulge in something that's an ordinary day for me.
i was going to say that this smells like the foolish attempts at late-19th/early-20th century latin american civil rights organizations, like LULAC, who expended all their energy, money and influence to successfully get the american judicial system to assert that hispanic people were white; but ultimately THOROUGHLY failed to get american popular sentiment to make hispanic people white.
coming from a mexican, but majority white passing family split between the united states and mexico that always condescends to garden variety looking mexicans in both countries; it's easy to see that groups like LULAC were either blind, stupid, or willfully ignorant.
voyager's finale made more sense at the time it first aired because ds9's finale was SO loving slow and sentimental; that it both needed to set itself apart and it barely had any support for a finale from paramount.
also, at the time of the airing of it's later seasons voyager had been threatened by the type of cancellation that enterprise endured several times so we were lucky that we got a true finale at all. if it weren't for the introduction of seven of nine; garrett wang nominated as the sexiest man alive; the mild but significant enough notoriety of nasa's sojourner's success; stars wars movie revival; and ds9 hadn't ended a year before leaving voyager as the only trek on available for the first time in a decade on tv and movies we wouldn't have had a finale at all.
enterprise's finally was never meant to be a finale; but it became one once paramount pulled the rug out from beneath enterprise by surprise.
that's why so many in red and swing states are blocked from voting or gerrymandered from its impact and, having been one of them while i lived in texas, i learned the hard way that not accepting this fact that makes voting alone ineffective where it's needed the most is probably the biggest reason why things are guaranteed to get worse.

i like that contemporary a & b list actors are joining star trek in the last few years whereas before it was really uncommon.
is it just my memory playing tricks on me?
