probably would have snagged it and just like, hung around a bit and kept an eye out for the owner, were I broke.

I think it was kemono.su

A generic patreon paid content aggregator. vs all the custom hacked together one-offs that people use for podcast piracy

thanks for looking. I don't even mind the look so much as it interrupts the slop. But even on desktop it can look bad yah

genuinely want to buy some

what is wrong with me?

Good info to have out there! There's a 0.0% chance of me switching to Windows, but if you're going to run it this is the best way to do it.

Also might want to change the shitter links to xcancel.com or something so that people can see the whole thread without having an account at that torment-nexus-ass website

This update has made the SSR functionality basically useless by adding the interstitial pulsing placeholders... Any way we can disable those for the first pageload or something? because it's driving me bonkers

On slow devices, it goes like this:

  • The page loads (takes a few seconds),
  • content loads in basically immediately
  • I start reading/scrolling.
  • After 1-2 seconds, the content that was loaded from the server initially disappears entirely, replaced by the placeholder animations
  • then all that content is re-loaded, wasting time and data,
  • after several seconds of that, the content is rendered again and I can actually browse.

afaik it was always wasting CPU cycles/data but the hip new animations took that background annoyance and made it an actual UX issue

As always thank you for the effort though, the next UI is intriguing though I don't love the black and blue theming

That's because it's not a link, it just triggers some javascript. Don't think its a new issue either. There's probably a way to make it work but I don't know what it is, otherwise I'd try to contribute it upstream.

Though I do see that now we don't even rewrite the URL with the sort/pagination parameters anymore when changing pages... 0.19.3 would change the URL to something like this: /?dataType=Post&pageCursor=P103a73c&sort=Active

is that intended @[email protected] ?

I heard people straight up think that maddy was like, crazy and wrong and trying to get her to commit suicide together, or reading the most overtly trans scenes as being her memories/hallucinations not isabel/owen's so there's definitely a million ways to misinterpret if you aren't looking for the transness.

I was with you in terms of hyping it up a little too much the first time and being sort of let down (but also just astonished and devastated that the movie ended when it did). It was almost more impactful the second time but that is probably due to personal circumstances of mine

I read that comment when you posted it! Doing my best to learn I guess, even before I accepted this might be a thing lol

I have no idea if stimulants will work well for me. I've definitely used caffeine to self medicate most of my adult life so maybe? But either way I know it won't be a magic bullet, just one thing to try if a doc recommends it I guess. I honestly don't know what not being able to mask would look like for me, but I work from home on a computer and have very accepting friends so hopefully the adjustment wouldn't be too rough? I try not to downplay (or play up) my own struggles but all things considered I've lived a pretty chill life I feel like. Lots of self-repression and some serious struggles socially at times but you know, not outright horribly traumatic? So maybe that helps idk.

Thanks for your prolific support and advice all over the site! I just got new insurance so I'll have to see what it will cost to see someone this summer. I hate to say it but I want to see if I can get the ball rolling on this diagnosis stuff without telling them I'm trans... (is that a horrible idea?) Let's just say I don't want to be on that list given the way the US is going lately... My gender is none of their business and even barring government action, telling your doctor you're trans unfortunately seems like an excellent way to get subpar medical care. Or maybe I'm needlessly paranoid but I'd rather be paranoid and wrong than the target of fascist repression or plain ol discrimination.

Seriously, he manages to spend this entire video pointing out his own obvious mistakes, or saying in the edit how he'll correct them later, but then has to put a correction in the comments about how he drastically underestimated prices that he didn't bother to check, so the final "maybe correct" results aren't even reflected in the video at all. And then he completely speculates on how they might price things and completely neglects the possibility that the pricing at two different restaurants might have anything to do with eachother.

Why even make this? I guess the point about "premium" fast food places selling you bigger portions

HOW IS HIS TAKEAWAY FROM ALL THIS THAT TWITTER IS BAD BUT BIDEN IS GOOD

 

cross-posted from: https://hexbear.net/post/2061061

I was a little skeptical about Ibis, mainly for practical/technical reasons, not philosophical differences (link).

But something today really changed my mind as to the necessity of figuring out those practical/technical hurdles... I discovered that Wikipedia has widely cited associated site "WikiSource" as its only source for the contents of Salvador Allende's final speech before his death, and now that widely referenced page has been deleted from the site, for "Copyright violation", despite the fact that it almost certainly wasn't, and even if it were, no person in their right mind would ever claim it as such. On the wikipedia side, there's been no updates to the many references to that page, and on the WikiSource side, no serious discussion on the implications of just nuking that highly relevant to the public interest speech from their site, and no coordination between the two.

They cite some Chilean copyright law, copied from the spanish language WikiSource, but then somehow come to the opposite conclusion that the esWS people did! This was a user-submitted english translation too, so they threw out all of that user's work over a speculative claim by some friggin internet janitor and didn't think that might be relevant. And none of this would have ever come up if they didn't try to become their own source, rather than citing independent websites and other sources... So. Fucking. Stupid.

And this is after they had the EXACT same discussion 10-12 years ago. It was deleted, and then later restored, based on the EXACT same line of chilean law. But someone decided it was time for a revisit a few months back and now all the links to it are dead again. Just in case, idk, the family of salvador allende decides to sue wikipedia? fat fucking chance

Also to add insult to injury, the first line of their "Copyright Discussions" page is as follows:

This page hosts discussions on works that may violate Wikisource's copyright policy. All arguments should be based entirely on U.S. copyright law.

I get that due to treaties chilean law is probably relevant here but this is all just a wank-off between Um Actually nerd moderators so it still made me rage a little

Anyhow thankfully archive.org aren't such dweebs and I can share with you here the contents of the speech:

Speech:Surely this will be the last opportunity for me to address you. The Air Force has bombed the antennas of Radio Portales and Radio Corporación.

My words do not have bitterness but disappointment. May they be a moral punishment for those who have betrayed their oath: soldiers of Chile, titular commanders in chief, Admiral Merino, who has designated himself Commander of the Navy, and Mr. Mendoza, the despicable general who only yesterday pledged his fidelity and loyalty to the Government, and who also has appointed himself Chief of the Carabineros [national police].

Given these facts, the only thing left for me is to say to workers: I'm not going to resign! Placed in a historic transition, I will pay for the loyalty of the people with my life. And I say to them that I am certain that the seeds which we have planted in the good conscience of thousands and thousands of Chileans will not be shriveled forever.

They have force and will be able to dominate us, but social processes can be arrested by neither crime nor force. History is ours, and the people make history.

Workers of my country: I want to thank you for the loyalty that you always had, the confidence that you deposited in a man who was only an interpreter of great yearnings for justice, who gave his word that he would respect the Constitution and the law and did just that. At this definitive moment, the last moment when I can address you, I wish you to take advantage of the lesson: foreign capital, imperialism, together with the reaction, created the climate in which the Armed Forces broke their tradition, the tradition taught by General Schneider and reaffirmed by Commander Araya, victims of the same social sector who today are hoping, with foreign assistance, to re-conquer the power to continue defending their profits and their privileges.

I address you, above all, the modest woman of our land, the countrywoman who believed in us, the mother who knew our concern for children. I address professionals of Chile, patriotic professionals who continued working against the sedition that was supported by professional associations, classist associations that also defended the advantages of capitalist society. I address the youth, those who sang and gave us their joy and their spirit of struggle. I address the man of Chile, the worker, the farmer, the intellectual, those who will be persecuted, because in our country fascism has been already present for many hours -- in terrorist attacks, blowing up the bridges, cutting the railroad tracks, destroying the oil and gas pipelines, in the face of the silence of those who had the obligation to act. They were committed. History will judge them.

Surely Radio Magallanes will be silenced, and the calm metal of my voice will no longer reach you. It does not matter. You will continue hearing it. I will always be next to you. At least my memory will be that of a man of dignity who was loyal to his country.

The people must defend themselves, but they must not sacrifice themselves. The people must not let themselves be destroyed or riddled with bullets, but they cannot be humiliated either.

Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this dark and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Go forward knowing that, sooner rather than later, the great avenues will open again and free men will walk through them to construct a better society.

Long live Chile! Long live the people! Long live the workers!

These are my last words, and I am certain that my sacrifice will not be in vain. I am certain that, at the very least, it will be a moral lesson that will punish felony, cowardice, and treason.

Santiago de Chile, 11 September 1973

I know this is far from the worst thing Wikipedia has ever done, but it really got to me, and I feel an organization with its priorities in order would never behave this way. And in a federated system, not only could I use an instance with its priorities in better order, but also other sites would have likely mirrored the content.

Yeah, okay, sure

Late dotcom bubble ass marketing. I don't even get what they do but I see that they've shoe-horned "AI" into it somehow

 

The campaign isn't leaderless, it was organized in large part by the people at Listen to Michigan, who explicitly say "We hold Biden's margin for victory", and "Biden must earn our vote through a dramatic change in policy." (emphasis mine). You can post as hard as you want about how absolutely servile to the democratic party you are, but most of the people voting uncommitted actually give half a shit about genocide, so don't claim them for yourself.

Like seriously, get fucked you brain-broken liberals. Biden won't save you, stop trying to undermine the few electoralists that are actually trying to make a difference in a potentially effective way.
