Pretty ironic since this is from the UK Guardian under Kath Viner's editing which has played a key part in fanning the flames of the culture war.

I think its important to highlight that Odysee and Rumble are both "free speech" platforms that neo-nazis love to use to platform their calls for violence.

Plain clothes are always incredibly obvious and oblivious to that fact. I've known them to stop and search people because they are baffled someone spotted them.

Paramount, Sony, 20th Century Fox, Disney, Universal, Nordisk, and Warner Brothers are all part of this "Rights Alliance" group. Each of them have used, or plan to use, generative AI going forward - which, by design, is unable to abide by copyright since it is trained on whatever they can get their hands on.

This is yet more "one rule for them and one rule for everyone else" from leaches that are desperate to profit from the work of others and punish anyone who won't pay into their state-enforced protection racket.

The new CEO of Mozilla, Laura Chambers, has a background working at all sorts of evil companies like AirBnB and PayPal. Its absolutely no surprise that the company immediately dropped plans to diversify in ethical, unique and privacy friendly ways as soon as she joined.

CEOs getting paid primarily in stock means grifters like this will drop their USP for whatever trend makes the line go up, if it is crypto, NFTs, or AI.

The biggest advocates for non-violence are white cis heterosexual men. It is the failure to recognize the multifaceted nature of violence itself. Punching a Nazi can mean that other Nazis stop looking up to them, and they stop being able to effectively organize.

You should be selective and strategic with who you punch. Typically you will want to go for leadership, or the guy who offers a connection between two groups that you consider a risk.

That being said, you should also consider that you probably aren't going to have as much success punching a Nazi on their terms. A lot of them are into their gym and guns so it tends to be to your advantage to catch them alone when you are in a group. Sometimes the opportunity will come after one of their demonstrations when they are walking to their car. Other times, it can be useful to find where they live and work.

Punching Nazis isn't an everyday thing but its unrealistic to claim it isn't sometimes necessary. It works very effectively as part of a bigger picture. Alongside it, you can put stickers on their doors in the middle of the night. If the circumstances arise, you can do silly stuff like convincing one that another fascist is sleeping with his equally shitty wife.

Mirror of what xxkylexx, Bitwarden Developer, said on Reddit:

Hi, Thanks for sharing your concerns here. We have been progressing use of our SDK (software development kit) in more use cases for our clients. However, our goal is to make sure that the SDK is used in a way that maintains GPL compatibility.

  1. the SDK and the client are two separate programs
  2. code for each program is in separate repositories
  3. the fact that the two programs communicate using standard protocols does not mean they are one program for purposes of GPLv3

Being able to build the app as you are trying to do here is an issue we plan to resolve and is merely a bug.

From how I understand it, it appears they are saying that the bug was that it was possible to build externally.

One thing that isn't really touched on because it never got published is that Spofforth has been an active organizer for the far right since 2020. Since then she has been active in anti Drag Queen Story Hour harrasment and targeting hotels. Another example is Yorkshire Rose (Amanda Smith) who has been doing the exact same but to a larger extent.

My main concern is that these fascist agitators have been placed into prisons with people of colour and leftwing activists for an extended period of time.

I presume this is botted but this is another thing that makes me want a more modern federated MySpace.

Dating apps have never been my thing but I think this would be a good fediverse project, maybe linked with something like matrix.

Misogyny and transphobia, as per usual. The build instructions used "he" and bug reports and pull requests have been denied and given edgy responses.

People still do the same here, sadly :/

I remember almost a decade ago, the Oneplus 2 not having it was a major downside. I can't believe we are still doing this song and dance.

If you keep an eye on names and faces present at far right demonstrations, usually the same ones pop up all the time. I'm surprised this is the first instanceof the two. Unite the Right and Jan 6 were just the most famous in recent memory. A lot of Jan 6ers have also attacked Drag Queen Story Hours as just another example.

In a recent study it was found that around 2/5 of phones held by police had signs of tampering, including when they are supposed to get a warrant. If you want to know more Google, "40% police study " and it will probably show up on the first page.

Kinda sad they didn't go further with the human theme but I guess "don't theme ny apps" thing that Gnome has going on ruins that.

GrooveShark, for me, particularly thrived on early Android as Tinyshark. It was probably one of the first ways I remember actively listening to whatever music I wanted to; no algorithm outside of the list of "most popular songs".

Can I point out the strange parallel between this and the storyline in The Boys this week? I won't expand on it for spoilers but Jesus Christ.

As a British person, I think living under Keir has made me even more apathetic to the US's faux-democracy. The attacks against trans people, disabled people and Palestine have arguably got worse, even if the authoritarian element has got some of the nastier neo-Nazis a bit disorganised.

There are a number of examples I can give but the immediately most obvious that springs to mind is Mark Collett, who can be seen in this picture with his ex-girlfriend who has a large visible swastika tattoo.

The British Movement, formerly known as the British National Socialist Movement also have a presence on both sites. One of their primary catch phrases is, "No more brother wars." which refers to WW2 as a war between different sects of the "Aryan race". It means that those sects should not be fighting each other but instead non-white people and Jewish people.

As I say, I can point to more but I think those give you the picture. I should probably also add that its a common quippy clap-back for these types to say "so... huh... everyone you disagree with is a Nazi" themselves. The function of this is to muddy the waters and propagandise the questioning of whether or not their ideology is as bad as those who directly oppose them state. It means that they get to spread their ideas by a proxy to onlookers.

I'm a fan of Cloudstream.

gtk3-classic still doesn't work properly on Wayland and I doubt it will ever be fixed so I include WAYLAND_DISPLAY=0 in each shortcut file to force them into xwayland.

Eviction resistances happen all over the world. Join your local tenants union.

In the UK, ACORN covers most places, but there are also area-specific unions such as London Renters Union and Greater Manchester Tenants Union. There is also the Advice Service for Squatters who can help support squats.

Its also sadly maintained by transphobic weirdos

The thing is: that Nazi scum will now be placed in an enclosed space that is full of marginalised people by going to prison. His time in there with them will perpetuate the culture of harm and discrimination.

It is also worded in such a way as to compare it to the Forstater judgement because Kath Viner has to work in transphobia to every part of the Guardian

You are the first recommendation for What Culture in the wild. I find their stuff a bit WhatMojo clickbait for my liking.

Voat came about when FatPeopleHate got banned Ovarit is similar but for the anti-trans subreddit GenderCritical. Gab is also on there which is an even further right Mastodon fork than Truth Social.

Are you from the past? Like 2014?

BlÄhaj doesnt have downvotes and I occasionally miss being able to down vote people replying to requests with something that someone specifically said they don't want in the full-text. For other stuff, report tends to be applicable, particularly spam and racist trolls who just come to advertise or attempt to change the culture of Lemmy.

I don't have a deck but I do have a laptop with very similar specs and it has severe issues with performance. It isn't much better on my partner's GTX 1080 either.

This is what the last sentence in my post was about; I shouldn't have to include it. Please try to refrain from doing it in future as it perpetuates the toxicity that Reddit had (and still has) a reputation for. Its fine to pass over a post if you don't know the answer. It is also fine to pass over a post if you would never find an answer useful.

That being said, since COVID lockdowns were lifted, a hell of a lot of places have become card only, making it necessary to carry one. Some people may have the privileges to be able to use cash whenever they want, but not everyone can. There are places where disability benefits disallow you from taking out the money you receive as cash; I think this is some sort of war on drugs thing. Another reason is that women's clothing is quite infamously lacking pockets.
