Then you should do exactly that before it has the opportunity to download an “improved” firmware. Maybe create a DHCP reservation and matching firewall rule before connecting it to the home network. Good luck!

I’d put it behind a closed firewall with logging enabled. Your home router might be able to do this even. Then you can see if it’s trying to connect to the Internet beyond NTP without you clicking “update”.

It’s not quite that ambiguous. I find that when you’re willing to engage with fascist rhetoric and the underlying worldview, you can see the patterns emerge that these scholars have pointed out.

I absolutely agree that (neo)liberal western societies usually only engage with it in order to isolate differences to feel better about themselves. That was my whole point actually. If you understand it’s possible that a society or movement partially but not entirely meets the criteria for fascism, that’s an actual starting point for a conversation to counteract it. Rather than doing the fig leaf thing from above and say “see we’re technically not fascist” as an excuse to shut down that exact conversation.

While not exclusive to it, they are elements of fascism.

It’s funny that we have all these lists and essays and books on how fascist ideology and policy is a confluence of many such elements, yet people still act as tough “is this person/party/state fascist?” is a simple yes or no question with no gray area.

I’m still subbed but rarely watch. I think I just somewhat outgrew that kind of gaming drama content, it feels less consequential than it did 10 years ago.

Though you have to commend her for sticking with the YouTube thing and staying true to herself under these conditions.

I still go back occasionally to Shaun’s classic vids dismantling the sheer stupidity on display.

“Untested” reads like a major endorsement compared to establishment Dems.

Ah yes. Condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine would be nothing but pandering to the US, who themselves voted against the resolution… wait.

Up to 2GB of NVMe storage? Sign me the fuck up.

Still thinking and talking as sociopathic real estate developer.

You’d expect them to closely analyze the attacks and pour a few hundred billion into countermeasures though. Not exactly the same position that Russia is in.

Also because Putin needed a war to shore up nationalist fervor and distract from his failures and corruption. A classic play that almost always works.

I’m torn personally.

If I block these accounts, I won’t be able to downvote and report them anymore.

Oh I agree. I’m just not there because twitter was never my thing. Keep up the fediverse propaganda, comrade.

tbf he explicitly did both

Socially they absolutely aim to turn back time. They’ve promised to revoke gender self-identification and marijuana legalization for instance, and they’re all in on xenophobic isolationist rhetoric. Regardless of how much they may struggle to come up with excuses to legitimize it, this is what resonates with the people they’re courting right now - voters that abandoned them for AfD or at least are considering it.

It’s not as bad as some polls suggested, but it’s pretty fucking bad.

There are few options for coalition-building that don’t involve the far-right AfD as the other parties have promised. Meanwhile the far-right and conservative right hold an absolute majority between them, giving them options to approve a lot of heinous shit as they’ve shown they are willing to do in line with their xenophobic rhetoric.

The upsides are that the Left successfully reinvented their profile and made major gains after being pronounced dead (for the 8th time), the Greens didn’t lose as much as the anti-woke anti-education narratives suggested, and the neoliberals are fully out after torpedoing their own government coalition.

Chances are it’s really just that, a start. See OpenAI.

The thing that it really has going for itself is that it simply isn’t twitter. And Muskler made sure that’s a huge deal.

Sublime Text for me. It has some nifty features that NP++ doesn’t, and looks better out of the box.
