  • Where did you get violent extremism from? That’s not radicalization. Though some people who are radicalized choose to incorporate violence as part of direct action it is extremely rare.

    Do some mutual aid for starters. (This is what I’ve done, among other things, i will not elaborate.)

    If you want to fight back on this particular issue and have tech skills you can run counter-intel and expose fashy heritage foundation boys or you could do other methods like decoy or feed false identifying info.

    I’m happy anyone gets motivated to take action. Just a little surprised that it startes with wikipedia editors and not, just for example, palestine or women’s bodily autonomy.



  • Lots but a couple of note:

    Health insurance already has deals with pharmaceuticals and hospitals to charge a specific rate. The buy in on these deals is cost prohibitive to some degree. Think legal and administrative cost, especially when working between municipalities and States, let alone from hospital to hospital.

    Health sharing ministries are a form of this. They have tied the concept to religious roots which is often limiting e.g. women’s and queer healthcare. They also have horror stories in the same abubdance as the big corps.

    There’s nothing technically stopping a coop from forming short of startup capital and legal status. But those are insanely large hurdles.











  • Win11 feels like a half built facade placed over the Win10 interface. For example, to compress a file from the right click menu you have to click “show more options” which just switches to the Win10 menu. Also, moving away from text in context menus and replacing with an inconsistently formatted icon only menu is an assault on the user IMO.

    I don’t feel like saying plasma 6 or gnome is cherry picking. Plasma, at least to me, feels very polished. The theme management is incredible, diverse, and easy too. I feel it’s better aesthetically out of the box, but with negligible effort a theme can be installed to exceed commercial competition.

    Windows 10 felt decently fleshed out and very clean, but often you still had to use the old control panel and other menus.

    Android is clean and polished but limiting in customizability. Android UI apps seem to break completely every couple updates until the maintainer patches. There’s no consistency between devices/manufacturers either.

    I haven’t used an Apple product since 2006 so i can’t speak for those.






  • Oh yeah the way they did bernie dirty destroyed enthusiasm and that echos even today. The dems showed they don’t care for a populist movement.

    Im not saying give up. Just be real and listen to what trump and the right is saying. They don’t shroud their intent anymore. They say it up front. Dictator day one.

    We won’t see a restoring change come from a political party. Whether the goal is pushing the current political structures left or superceding them it must come from popular mobilization.
