I am very much looking forward to learning from this. The anti-internationalism and Americanism of many in my community (broadly defined) has been a source of concern, frustration and anger. We are on enemy ground, let's get our minds right.
Yes. I'm thinking that such servers would be for increased security use-cases. 'Normal' and mundane communications could stay on the usual suspects' platforms. If an activist group needs to inter-communicate electronically, it's best to reduce the attack surface or at least, make it harder
I'm still investigating options, most of which are optimized for Ubuntu. This, for example, looks promising: mailinabox.email
The timeline for my home email server deployment has accelerated
New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements www.404media.co/proton-mail-...
@intifada.bsky.social discusses the total war unleashed by the Epstein Empire against Iran and indeed, the world: www.youtube.com/live/UKU_g5f...
My god he is a fool. I recall his appearances on 'Majority Report', that center of mayonaise liberalism, during which he pushed the idea that the PRC was responsible for Covid. Now he's trying to minimize Platner's obvious Nazi sympathies. He's not alone. There are many Dems who are with him on this
Everything Hiram Rivera says here, in conversation with @jaybeware.bsky.social (starting at 3:56) is so true it burns. You will not vote your way out of this darkness. More, much more is demanded. History will judge all US'ians grimly: youtu.be/PQLl745aGQg?...
"Things are changing fast" the man wrote. He's right. Here's video showing the result.
would mean a lot to me if you all could share this
Why @why.bsky.team Until December of last year I was using LLMs as fancy autocomplete for coding. It was nice for scaffolding out boilerplate, or giving me a gut check on some things, or banging out some boring routine stuff. In the past two months Claude has written about 99% of my code. Things are changing. Fast
in case you ever wondered why bsky breaks all the fuckin time and is increasingly a pile of jank

You misunderstand me. This entire 'civilization', the so-called west, regardless of the peculiar specifics of US politics, conducted a genocide before our eyes and now seeks to crush all opposition. It is useless to split hairs. We live under the rule of monsters across the board.
There are many analyses, some good and grounded, others foolish and riddled with 'western' fantasies. This point, however, is seldom made. The elites are psychotic and addled by a supremacist version of Christianity. This war is of far greater consequence than most of us understand.

Nice!
Weary of the chatter of US'ian mayonaise 'leftists', I am grateful for @adnanhusain.bsky.social hosting this conversation with Nina and Navid Farnia. This is what anti-imperialism (a concept foreign to mayo thinkers) looks like: www.youtube.com/live/XOnr1By...
It is disgusting and unsurprising for what Gore Vidal called 'a nation of shoplifters.' Apache helicopters, Tomahawk missiles, even the noble and fearsome hornet, used to name death instruments that are anti-human and anti-nature.
'Inspired', if I may call it that, by the imperialist leanings of US'ian liberals and mayonaise leftists, I'm writing an essay on the tendency of these cohorts to bemoan the lack of national healthcare, while cheering on Tomahawk missile strikes on 'bad guys'.
USAmericans think this because they constantly kill people (their own at home as well of course) and nothing happens to them, but indeed a lot happens in their Global South victims' home countries
Tomorrow!
some resources for cognitive scientists — especially for junior scholars who ask me wonderful questions and want to learn more — on theorising and metatheorising olivia.science/theory/ (not 100% finished & more to come, but all my work is freely available here: olivia.science#publications as usual)
That argument exists because the lives of non-white people are cheap in imperial discourse. Mass death on the other side of the world has no reality outside of what space it takes up on the american tv news cycle. If it were otherwise, the old normal would have been as insupportable as the new
Every month the United States provides even more reason to boycott its products and companies — the strikes on Iran being just the latest.
In light of that, it’s a great time to ditch the products and services of US tech companies. I made a comprehensive guide to help you.
Kamala Harris promised "the most lethal military" in the world and said Iran was our greatest threat. After Israel struck Iran, Tim Walz said that we need "expand Israel and its proxies" in the VP debate. Schumer and Jeffries just worked to delay a war resolutions vote until after these strikes.
This is undeniably true: from people's favorite Dem pol, to their beloved liberal podcasters and tender talking Bluesky posters, there's no belief in sovereignty, self defense or dignity for the world's people.
At this moment, I recall conversations with my Grandfather, a loving but solemn man who served in a segregated tank battalion in WW2: 'remember your ancestors who burned plantations, remember the Sioux and Comanche who fought till the end. We are ever at war because of their evil. Do not forget.'
