Read or listen to Allen Carr - how to stop smoking. There’s an audiobook on torrents.

I’m trying it now, seems okay so far. I tried it a few months ago and it was unusable, so it’s improved.

Yeah its not clear to me what matrix 2.0 is either, seems like spec changes? Nothing here about synapse (the python matrix server), or the go one.

mysql -> mariaDB

Try asking the maintainers for clarification or an update on anything. They’re gone.

Does anyone know of any massive double blind study where they see what actual mp3 bitrate where people stop being able to tell the difference in quality?

I’ve tried and can’t tell the difference between any 320kbps and lossless.

I used to do this, but todo.txt is a dead format now unfortunately, the maintainers left a long time ago. Tasks.org is where its at, open-source, sync how you want, tagging, recurring tasks.

I’d also like to add that hitler was very specific about his desire to emulate the US model of colonialism: and do to eastern europe, what the US had already done to its native peoples.

The only difference between lebensraum and manifest destiny, is that bourgeois democracy was far more effective at indigenous genocide than fascism was.

The USA genocided an entire continent under it’s current form of government, and committed and is still committing countless other atrocities. Look at what Europe did to Africa and Asia under that same form.

Bourgeois parliamentarism is a much more stable shell for colonialism than any other form of government has proven to be. Demonizing a dead form of colonialism (fascism) lets them off the hook, and never forces them to look at what their own governments are currently doing. They get to keep their chauvinist / supremacist myth about “liberal democracy” being the superior form of government, without challenging it.

I need to make a bot to post this any time fascism gets mentioned.

The western left’s use of the term fascism, is borderline white-supremacist at this point. Fascism was a form of colonialism that died by the 1940s, and is only allowed to be demonized in public discourse, because it was a form of colonialism directed also against white europeans. It was defeated, and Germany / Italy / Japan reverted to the more stable form of government for colonialism (practiced by the US, UK, France, the Netherlands, Australia, etc): bourgeois parliamentarism.

British, european, and now US colonizers were doing the exact same thing, and killing far more people for hundreds of years in the global south, yet you don’t hear ppl scared of their countries potentially "adopting parliamentary democracy”. They haven’t changed, and their wealth is still propped up by surplus value theft from the super-exploitation of hundreds of millions of low-paid global south proletarians.

This is why you have new leftists terrified that the UK or US or europe “might turn fascist!!”, betraying that the atrocities propagated by those empires against the global south was and is completely acceptable.

Make no mistake about it: parliamentary / bourgeois democracy is not only a more stable form of government, it’s also far more effective at carrying out colonialism, and killing millions of innocent people.

This, but maybe slackware with the hannah montana ui.

Which one do you recommend?

Japanese teas are my jam lately: oolong, hojicha, genmaicha, matcha.

Only before you collaborate with anyone else. After that, don’t ever use rebase, or they’ll get an error, and will have to overwrite their local history with the one you’ve rewritten.

Elections in bourgeois democracy are nothing but political theatre, because ultimately capitalists stand above and control the political system to suit their interests. There is no don’t commit genocide, bomb countries, or exploit the global south option in any imperial core country, and if there is, they don’t last for long because of the hundreds of impediments to democracy (which the greeks properly saw as rule by the poor, not this sham popularity)

The ancient greeks knew this, and considered representative/election-based governments as nothing but sham popularity contests that serve the oligarchy. Aristotle even defined democracy as “rule by the poor”, and wouldn’t consider our liberal “democracies” as being democratic at all.

Communists have known this since the 1800s, but even modern liberal studies like the princeton one show, that voting has no effect on policy, and only dollar / wealthy interest groups matter.

If you try to pull someone else’s rebased / history rewritten branch, your git will tell you that it’s rejected. You can completely avoid this by merging instead of rewriting history.

You try to pull someone’s changes, but whoops, they used rebase and rewrote history! Delete the branch and start over.

Many liberal countries have these alternative voting systems, and it means nothing. Australia and Japan for example use alternate voting systems, and yet are still far-right countries who are killing indigenous movements and have extremely unpopular governments.

The root problem is that in liberal countries, capitalists stand above the political system, and control it for their own purposes. No people’s democracy can emerge from within it, regardless of any system of “checks and balances” or voting systems.
