Didn’t know they changed owners. That’s unfortunate.

Thanks!!!

Gotcha. Good to know. So it’s like TPB would change domains or hosts every couple months in the old days? Lol

Just wanted to give an update that I started learning Linux. It’s been a pain in the ass to look up every basic thing I could do in Windows without thinking, but I’m sure I’ll get it down with enough use and googling for every error. Only been using it a couple days so far, but already starting to prefer the console over the UI for some things, thanks to the ability to quickly repeat old commands with the up and down arrow keys. It’s kind of exciting, like I’m starting the first steps to join the Linux club I see so much on Lemmy.

Do you need a seedbox to maintain your ratio? I’ve thought about looking into them but don’t want to pay some monthly fee to get a couple hard to find things, when I could just torrent from my plex box when I need to.

Oh don’t worry, the parts of the government that benefit the rich and corporations I’m sure they will find a way to salvage.

And they should make Mastadon accounts or instances instead, especially if they’re affiliated with the government.

It’s insane to me that public utilities and officials use a private, third-party thing like X for official communications when they could be controlling their own servers.

Not native historians lol

What is i2p?

Don’t let it turn into another Star Wars where everything only happens on Tatooine, the whole point of which it was supposed to be the most boring of planets.

There’s no alternative to Hasan right now in the left online space. Look at the top streamers on election day. They’re all right-wing except for him. We’re going to have to start with people like him, AOC, or Bernie if we want to move the needle in this country. Organizing 20 people in your local communist book club doesn’t matter if your movement is constantly demonized in the media and never grows. I don’t think some in the left seem to understand how important propaganda is, and yes, even online. Even Lenin worked on newspapers.

Not saying he’s anything close to Lenin, but no one else is in the position to step up right now. It’s going to take someone with enough money to not have to rely on mainstream media companies to say the shit he does, and the aesthetic to reach the Gen Z people and normies all the other guys are reaching. Other people can’t afford to be kicked out of the DNC for talking to Palestine protestors like he was. Right now the only people I can think of on the left with any outreach are a couple niche podcasters and academics doing a couple YouTube vids.

Andor was so good it made me sad when it was over that other Star Wars media wasn’t this good.

Oh nice. See, this is the kind of stuff I’ll have to look up lol

I need a practice laptop to learn Linux with…

Yay! The megathread is here! And a wiki!

The more alternatives to corporation owned social media the better! I hope it takes off, but I’ve never really been a Tumblr guy.
