Readeck: Home Save interesting articles, long read, pictures, videos. Read or revisit them later.

I host an instance of readeck.org for my growing pile of things to read and a Matrix server for a few friends (has a slightly more Discord-like experience than XMPP if you use Spaces) with element-hq.github.io/dendrite/ on mine.

Looks like on mobile everything after the apostrophe in “can’t” gets cut off for some reason.

Bluesky Social media as it should be. Find your community among millions of users, unleash your creativity, and have some fun again.

404 on mobile, works on desktop/web. Seems like the go.bsky.app redirect that mobile links go through is messing something up.

That braided belt lol

Always loved seeing this guy on my feed! Lost my first pet last year and I still think about her every day, but it’s more happy, remembering tears than sad, despairing ones now. I hope you get there too.

Yep. Fuck Meta but I’m not sure how a state-mandated, closed source platform is an improvement in either technical security (trust in the E2EE implementation) or metadata privacy (ability to hide your network and activity from said state).

A Year of Empty Threats and a “Smokescreen” Policy: How the State Department Let Israel Get Away With Horrors in Gaza Israel has repeatedly crossed the Biden administration’s human rights red lines. But the U.S. continued to send weapons. Exclusive records and interviews reveal what happened inside the State Departme...

Most of them are demons let’s be honest www.propublica.org/article/bide...

Yeah I mean the whole game of idolizing politicians (including Mamdani) is tempting but it’s kind of a distraction and a dead end. They’re not our friends and the only way to liberation is building power that can move them but isn’t beholden to them. Or something.

I’m sorry but are you saying that the President Biden who armed Israel to commit genocide in Palestine “has humanity” because he kind of charmed you? Get fucking real.

Can’t legally share how this makes me feel other than to say that Rahman’s testimony is incredibly cutting and direct, and fuck the systems and the people who make this possible.

This is great. Continually impressed with the design and content of the stuff from @activistchecklist.bsky.social 🤌🏻.

You: heavily armed agents of the state with a monopoly on violence

Challenge: don’t act like the biggest babies in the universe

Level: impossible

Great example of typical pig tactics that escalate nonviolent demonstrations into violent chaos.

Your human reaction really resonated with me fwiw.

Did not expect that punchline lmao

Remember the memes of Bernie sitting all bundled up at the inauguration? These read exactly the same to me. I’m not on X but from what I can find of screenshots on Reddit, this “so many jobs” thing is largely or entirely coming from fellow Republicans/fascists juicing Rubio up.

I guess I don’t see how these are incompatible at all (that this segment is good-natured ribbing and that it also serves partly to normalize all of it).

I thought he pulled the tongue bath off quite well. And I assume he didn’t write it himself. If this segment is representative of what their “sane middle” schtick looks like when directed rightward, how is it different from good-natured ribbing?

Nextcloud is good. Requires some technical know-how to set up and run it securely. There are providers that will do the hosting for you (though that wouldn’t jibe with the “in home” part of your question).

Personally the sycophancy made me a little nauseous.

The number of people in the replies misreading this segment as a secret critique or meaningful dig directed at Rubio (rather than good-natured ribbing) is something.

This segment is 100% good-natured ribbing; it’s clearly not intended to critique or demean Rubio, but to signal camaraderie and fondness.
