What am I if I want everyone whose lands are being rolled into by oligarch tanks to fight and win their a central homes back?

Lenin said that if he were in Britain, he’d vote Labour. Not because he agrees with them, but to show the British people that yes, moving leftwards does make improvements and no, Labour is not doing enough. To show them that a further-left Socialist party is needed.
Accelerationism is a … choice. It’s easier, in my view, to push further left under ineffective neoliberalism than it is under right-wing authoritarianism. What you may view as a chance to get your ideal from the ashes, the fascists view as their chance to put you down for good.
I’m fortunate to live in a state with ranked-choice, where I can literally make a gradient of my preferences for nearly every contested election I vote in.
What I see most frequently is uncontested elections. Vote for the one registered candidate, or write someone in. Most of those have an R next to their name, and dollars to doughnuts a red armband in their closet.

World News@lemmy.ml•Russian troops liberate three communities in Ukraine operation over week — top brass
8·3 days ago“Liberate” is an interesting choice of term, given the communities in question aren’t in Russia’s sovereignty.
To be clear, I don’t personally have proof of whether the citizenry is broadly thrilled about or terrified of the soldiers in their streets.
I just believe it’s journalistic best practice for any case where an army taking part in a war of territorial expansion claims territory to use a neutral term like “control” rather than a biased one like “liberate” or “oppress”.

Linux@programming.dev•Why aren't more people using Codeberg or something open source
9·5 days agoI suck at programming, and GH is easier to use. As I learn more, and gain some skill, I’ll waste Codeberg’s server space instead of Microsoft’s
I agree that Google sucks turds. I also believe Apple’s iPhone ecosystem is harmful and exploitative. It would be really cool if all the good tech wasn’t inherently harmful, and I guess I’m just being sad at capitalism again.
I hope you have a pleasant day.
If code is where you’d like to contribute, a lot of large projects label some non-critical and low-complexity fixes for known issues as “beginner contributions”. They should be relatively easy contributions, for folks with some background in code.
Of course, if you have spare cash flow, donate a fiver to your favorite open source project. It goes a long way.
If simply using it is the goal, check out f-droid for android, an alternative app store for open source apps, and look into open source replacements for your usual suite of apps. It feels good to use, and to know you’re keeping your own data yours.

World News@quokk.au•UK police plan 'unprecedented' operation to prevent trouble at weekend protests
1·5 days agoInteresting framing at points, but overall an informative article.
Worth noting, Steven “Tommy Robinson” Yackey-Lennon is a professional victim, and has been convicted in relation to criminal agitations multiple times. He’s a damn Nazi, and they’re still allowing him to lead marches through London.
It’s fair to assume an anti-palestinian bent to any law enforcement actions that take place, except (don’t get your hopes up) The imprisonment of Nazi agitators.

5·5 days agoThey do quantify them. There’s been counters for that. The people speak out against them at town halls. It still goes up.

Sorta like saying truce right before getting punched, eh?

Linux@lemmy.ml•Are you on which team: vim, nano, micro, er ed for you terminal based text editor?
2·14 days agoneovim through nvf on NixOS. I’m not even a power user, I just had a shit mouse in college and didn’t want to use it and now I’m hundreds of lines of Lua too deep to go back. This is my life now.




I understand that wish of yours.
Fuck AI, fuck the slop it vomits out, and thank goodness we aren’t hooking up autoslop machines to StackOverflow.
