FYI, this is a right-wing dog whistle popularized during the COVID-19 pandemic. It's now an anti-vaxxer talking point.

Awesome! Thank you for telling me about Scribd downloader and finding the first book.

As for the Academia.edu link, it doesn’t seem like premium will provide the PDF, that’s just premium membership. The actual PDFs are governed by individual authors. Seems that author uploaded a preview of the book perhaps to indicate that they contributed to it so it counts as a citation.

The democrats are the right wing of capital, with the Republicans as the far right wing of capital.

Sci hub no longer updates, and these books are too recent.

That’s not usually an option for books. Articles, maybe, but I need textbooks.

It's a scam. I've looked into it as part of my climate justice advocacy. There's so so much fraud going on. Sometimes offsets pay for land grabbing of indigenous land even. It's fucked.

Thanks I think this is the answer I was looking for!

Aww man, do I have a list for you.

Is that bad?

My library doesn’t have it unfortunately. I’ve asked for help anyway, perhaps through an inter-library loan. We’ll see.

Both are on Oxford Politics Trove. Would you happen to have institutional access?

Yes, I’m aware Issues has pirated versions of earlier editions available, I have those already. I’m hoping for the latest version.

I’ve already mentioned in the body that it ain’t on libgen. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a point of asking. I’ll check the other wiki though, thanks.

I used both this and yt-dlp for downloading albums. This seems smoother since it has a UI.

I've been using Webcord with substantial improvements from the native Discord app.

That works quite well in my country, where book piracy isn’t as policed, but that’s not an option for me because I can’t access or buy a physical copy.

I literally didn't know why it was bad. Thanks for explaining I guess, even despite the hostility.

Organize an anarchist underground, probably in unarmed roles as I know nothing about guns. Organize networks of mutual aid and safe houses like the Syrian opposition did in the early stages of their civil war.

Checked there several times already.

Dwarves have American accents in Dragon Age!

Man I miss the old antiwork sub. Peeps back then understood what work meant as a material condition that needs to be abolished.

is this daily backup in-built in SSDs or is that a manual thing?

Historically, Futurama dealt with gender and specifically trans issues quite poorly.Hopefully they have improved for this new season.

Use MS Word to convert PDF to DOCX then use Word to convert to EPUB. This method will still result in lossy conversion. This is inevitable.

That doesn't sound right. The abolitionists I follow absolutely do want to abolish not just policing and incarceration but everything that stands in the way of true safety and what causes people to commit crimes. These include cisheteropatriarchy, settler-colonialism, racism, capitalism, heck many even want to abolish the state.

Really? Default for Linux Mint has / and /home in one partition. So reinstalling erases /home as well.

Why on earth would you reduce what I said to that?

Yeah, that’s a good tip, but I need the whole book. I’ve checked.

Is there a guide on how to get started on Usenet

It’s too expensive ://

I didn't need home folder snapshots.

Use Lutris instead. Add the EXE, install it, change the launch EXE to the correct file.

How about when I reinstall the OS? Will it only affect the / and not touch the /home?

I use btrfs for my / because I can use Linux Mint’s Timeshift tool to make snapshots, but I don’t want snapshots of /home to be included. Am I doing this wrong?

Keeping the archives of radical history alive is pretty much my speciality

Alright, thanks, I’ll try some experiments the next time I have the opportunity to do so.

Makes sense, thanks.

Am I doing something wrong? Not seeing a particular option? I have never seen or experienced what you’re describing.

Thanks!
