what is the image though

The main book I was looking at was Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation by Silvia Federici, however other users pointed out that the book suffers from very poor historiography that significantly weakens the arguments she makes, despite having great ideas.

I was thinking about the tension between Caliban being a useful sort of allegory and the wrong historical info. If it is still a thing people are interested in, I wonder if it would be worthwhile to invite the reddit user /u/sunagainstgold who wrote the linked critiques to participate. She is Cait Stevenson and I don’t think it is 100% out of the realm of possibility that she might do so. Before reddit died I was always a fan of hers on there, she has a good POV on many topics and very generous with her time. Or maybe she would know someone else who would be interested.

this is a perfect use for a computer to figure out because it’s running through lists of related words that fit a criteria to find rhymes and other matches.

Electronic Frontier Foundation has a good collection of articles and guides that are not just practical but teach you how to think about your own particular situation: Surveillance Self-Defense

First thing is you need to think about your “threat model”. Which means what information are you trying to protect, and why? There is no universally “best” way to do anything. Tactics that might increase security/privacy in one situation might impair it in another. Like if you are trying to avoid getting doxxed by random internet people who take a dislike to you that’s one thing, but if you are trying to avoid government (which government(s)?) spying that’s another. If you are trying to avoid government spying, is it to avoid legal prosecution, or to avoid covert interference in your organizing (ala COINTELPRO)? They can be totally different kinds of surveillance so you need to have different strategies to avoid them.

Also need to consider that making an extremely elaborate or onerous plan that you will never bother to actually enact, or requires a high degree of technical skill or perfect execution might not be practical. They might interfere with your purpose too much.

This page covers the basics of how to think about your own goals, fears and priorities. It’s very generic but is a good overview. It’s really key to think about this ongoing to avoid falling into the trap of following advise that might be perfectly reasonable for another person but counter productive for yourself.

sounds like it should be ok

Well Fred Hampton wasn’t a Chinese peasant but he didn’t let that stop him. ;)

and considering some of the fucking people that have power in it, I would seriously fucking love to have Hasan take their place lmao.

But that’s a totally different thing than emulating the BPP. While the Panthers did attempt electoralism they didn’t meet much success and it’s not what they are really known for. Their legacy is of grassroots organizing, mass education and the theoretical/political contributions derived from these. It’s a completely opposite approach to just incompetently filling a seat like you describe.

Anybody can get elected if they have enough cash, but I don’t know if Hasan is on that level. People who buy themselves political positions don’t just have a lot of money themselves, but they are embedded in networks of friends, family and fellow travelers who are also wealthy/influential who will support them. He’s rich, but is wealthy?

I think what you are kind of getting at is something akin to Upton Sinclaire’s campaign for governor of California in 1934. He was a well known leftist author who’s writing was syndicated in newspapers and broadly popular. His book The Jungle led to the creation of the FDA which was a significant step forward at the time in terms of food safety. (Although it had less of an impact in terms of worker safety and veganism which were arguably points the book made more strongly.) Although he lost the election, it is still looked at by some as a positive contribution, e.g. a Socialist Candidate Who Succeeded Through Failure.

I don’t totally hate the idea of leftists throwing themselves at the political system like spaghetti at the wall, but I can’t fault any specific person for not doing it. I’ve known people who have run for office in small political parties or as independents. Even a campaign that you know is going to lose last place and you are mainly doing as a kind of placeholder or to make a point is a huge undertaking. I’ve never known anyone personally who has won a campaign like that but it does happen now and again. Usually as a protest when people are mad at the main parties. Never really comes to much. Occasionally it’s a big splash like that fetterman guy. What good he ever do?

I don’t have any opinion about this dude and my only involvement with him is meta conversations like this one. I find the whole streamer thing kind of odd but understandable. That said I disagree with the critiques as stated.

If you don’t think Fred Hampton had millions of dollars to help him along than why aren’t YOU the new Fred Hampton? Why be any more disappointed that this guy isn’t Fred Hampton than that I am not Fred Hampton? (I’m not.) Its a criticism than applies to 99.999999999% of people so I am not sure what is the meaning?

If you think that he himself should try to become Fred Hampton, I don’t know that I could agree with you. On what basis would a person in a position like this be organizing and what kind of organization could they possibly create? I can only imagine the hijinx of a political party who’s basis of unity was a twitch streamer. Whatever wacky shenanigans would arise, the BPP it won’t be. I just don’t see it going anywhere. Whatever skills/charisma are involved in becoming this kind of famous, is there any reason to think it would translate to being an organizer? If I heard someone like this had such a plan I would think they had a mega inflated ego.

disappointing that nobody is really willing to give up their comforts of everyday life to actually do something.

If it is about nobody/everybody, I think the importance of this guy is being over stated. He’s not representative of everyone, just himself. It isn’t fair on him or to all the rest of humanity to conflate the two.

ancestry.com is mormon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancestry.com#1983)

wouldn’t be surprised if many other such resources also are. for the exact reasons as you explain. these people love “converting” the dead to their religion. they offer much less resistance than the living.

I have looked and looked I don’t find anything that actually works. The setting that’s supposed to do it doesnt.

I wonder if it’d be possible with ublocko to disable the specific JavaScript but idk how to do it.

The floss forges have blame also eg https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/Documentation/blame/branch/main/README.md but idk if it is exact pair to github. There’s probably some vs code alternative.

I wonder if find works properly if you use their version of find rather than native browser. It takes over typeahead find in a super obnoxious way which Firefox seems unable to prevent. Maybe they just aren’t supporting the native find. Though their in page hijacking never works properly. Maybe you need a nicer device.

How curious. Are you doing a play?

You might have to DIY one if you don’t want an old one. Certainly there are websites you could upload a PDF to that would print for you.

I think the boxes made sense when they were for sale in a brick n mortar store because they are harder to steal and make the person feel like they are buying something when digital goods weren’t such an instinctive idea. I doubt they would be shipped because they are big for no reason and would require a lot of packaging to keep from getting wrecked in transit vs a USB key in a bubble envelope.

To buy linux in a box, you would have to find somewhere near you that is selling it in person. A computer store, a book store. Maybe a campus bookstore? They have a captive audience so sometimes can get away with stuff that doesn’t otherwise make business sense.

Do you want the box to display or a hard copy of the installer?

If the latter I’m sure I’ve seen them for sale in the past couple of years on distro websites. Click “get [distro]” and its some secondary item to downloading which is what most people went. Might be a USB key or disc.

If you want an actual box idk how they are shipped.

There is a keyboard shortcut to reload the config. I don’t remember what the default is. On the kitty website, go to the page about kitty.conf and ctrl-f reload or refresh.

To check that the config is really reloading, make an edit to the section about theme, tab style, etc.

There is a way to output the actual config as used so you can look for your settings.

If you call kitty from the command line you can optionally use an argument to specify a config file. Iirc it is --config but verify in docs.

What is the location of the config file you are editing?

Post the section of the config file that isn’t working?

Try moving the section you are editing to the very bottom of the file to ensure it isn’t getting over rided later on.

Heres the basics
