If someone attacks you first, and you slip on the brass knuckles before defending yourself, then surely that would be a defensive use?

The spat with the OBS devs was due to a fedora package maintainer refusing to package OBS with an older library for their own Fedora Flatpak repo, despite the newer library causing severe breakage with OBS (which is why the OBS devs held it back in the flathub release).
The Qt foundation tried to get fucky once already, and KDE and some other major companies that rely on it were about ready to fork it if they persisted. Qt seemed to calm down after that.
Not a great relationship to be in though, constantly suspecting that your toolkit might do a rugpull at some point if the shareholders demand it. But I think they could pull off a fork if they ever did.
There’s some good channels on TILVids and Kolektiva.media, and if you’re looking for something specific, Sepiasearch is able to search across all peertube instances.
It seems like a leap that people don’t have the motivation to unionize and strike, but would eagerly hop into a full on violent revolution?
Realistically, unless the military fractures or fully refuses to engage against this revolution, the best you’ll get are The Troubles.
I don’t see why he would?

There have been some successful non-violent revolutions in history, and there’s a strong case to be made that not exhausting those options could be a huge mistake.
We still have, right now, completely un-used tools at our disposal, such as unionizing en masse and deploying a general strike, which is insanely powerful (capable of bringing a nation to its knees if done widely enough), while being far less dangerous and more appealing to the general populace than any other means.
Consolidation sometimes happens, but sometimes doesn’t for certain reasons, such as a community being abandoned, or different visions for a similar topic.
Personally I would recommend picking the most popular community or the one that seems to appeal to you the most, and only posting in that one, while staying subscribed to the others (if they are active) to keep abreast of that content and be able to participate in the comments if you desire.
They were likely posting about the BuyFromEU Lemmy community.
Another plus in favor of posteo is they will never delete or block access to your account even if you stop paying (you just won’t be able yo send emails).
That’s a very unique trait amongst the privacy focused providers. In comparison, mailbox.org will recycle email addresses after a certain amount of time of not paying, potentially allowing someone to impersonate you by claiming your old address.
D’oh! Thanks for pointing that out 😅
Hm, death could be interpreted in a number of ways.
Does Almalinux’s 10 year support represent death by being unchanging, stagnation?
Or should it mean a distro that is on death’s door, with less and less developers working on it each year? Solus, Mageia and OpenMandriva might qualify there.
Void Linux seems fitting from the name alone, though otherwise doesn’t really go with the theme.
That’s already hours in, and it was only getting more ridiculous. I had a looksee at Yatzhee’s old review of it, and he confirmed my feelings on it, and said it got even worse later. I may watch a let’s play of it at some point, but I just wasn’t having fun, so I’m unlikely to pick it up again, personally. Just doesn’t have the magic…
I just tried new colossus yesterday, actually, and I was surprised how big of a dive the writing took compared to the first game, I had to stop when the resistance guy bursts out of bathroom during that really forced emotional scene in the sub.
I loved the first game and the old blood dlc, so was a bit of a bummer :(
Thanks for catching that! I changed the title to the correct name.

I don’t suggest the IWW so workers can strike for better wages, I suggest the IWW because it is the only anti-capitalist union in the country, and was traditionally a vehicle for people to organize under with the goal of using labor as a political and economic club against the ruling class. It also teaches people how to organize on a national or even international level.
Take the CNT and FAI syndicalist/anarchist unions during the Spanish Civil war, as an example. They were in the best position to organize the populace of Catalonia due to having been so successful as a trade union first. It’s a useful and powerful non-violent tool in our arsenal.
If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Don’t become paralyzed with doubt and fear, march on and push as much you can, and join up with allies while we still can easily!
It’d be quite nice if the USPS integrated GNU Taler as its banking system, were that to ever happen.
