Full disclosure, I’m not a metalhead by any means, and Metallica isn’t always considered pure metal, but this one hits just right.

Cixin Liu. Not only is the Remembrance of Earth’s Past trilogy (Three Body Problem) epic, his short stories are really fun reads.
Because universal surveillance is more profitable than consumer privacy, and surveilling consumers aligns really well with the interests of the billionaires that control telecommunications.
I don’t usually go for cocktails, but when I do I really like a peaty whiskey sour, or a boilermaker with Guinness or a session IPA and again a peaty whiskey.
I’d bet a fully functioning and safe Boeing passenger plane (rare collectors item) that this was a hit.
I usually feel the worst first thing in the morning. It gets better over the day. Try to sleep and repeat for a few days.
I couldn’t agree more.
This guy:
I would be careful not to mix up what I’ll distinguish here as liberal social progressivism and communist societal progressivism. I’m sure there are more established terms for these concepts but I don’t know them or can’t think of them.
The imbalance we see in the liberal version is because it is, just like social conservatism, a reaction to current material conditions without a proper (ie dialectic) understanding of these how these conditions came to be and how they can be changed. Therefore it falls into the same paradigms and pitfalls which liberalism itself does, and is incapable of actually fixing the issues of the day. Then they get all caught up in things like “traditional” vs “modern” values, distinctions which are meaningless since both broad groups have been enforced across history in intimate relation to the reigning ruling class ideology of the time.
Whereas the type of progressivism we communists see as necessary is a holistic remaking of society, not limited to pushing for equal treatment of out groups, but banishing even the concept of out groups to the scrapheap of history, just to give one example. We go even further though, not in an “endless growth” type of sociopathic way, but in a strategic and structured way so as to fundamentally change the structure of society around us also on the political and economic levels, so that we can peacefully coexist on a human level rather than constantly struggling for who gets the upper hand.
Yes, but generally only bad quality loud ones.
If you can’t tell the difference between a super cheap keyboard and a well built one, fair enough.
If you like one of the things you use for a considerable portion of the day to feel nice to use and last more than two years, spend more. I spent an absurd amount on a keyboard about a year ago (like a week’s pay kind of absurd) and I haven’t regretted it for a second.
In terms of the offline solution I just edit Markdown files wherever whenever, and commit to the remote repo when possible or necessary.
I used Obsidian for a bit but recently switched to Markor which I quite like.
I do all the git stuff via cli on Termux. To be fair I do most of my notes on a PC so I don’t mind if the mobile experience is a bit hacky, with a couple aliases it’s easy enough. Alternatively I could edit files directly in on git server website (I run a self hosted git server but ymmv). For the major git servers like Github there are probably apps that make it more comfortable.
The markdown files are appropriately structured so I can run Hugo (config and layout files in a separate repo for tidiness sake) and get a static site build.
Instead of a personal wiki I chose to use a personal git repo for notes, which can be built as a static website if I want. Saving a link takes anywhere from a few seconds (saving it to a markdown file) to a few seconds more (committing that file to the repo and pushing).
The structure and concept of the notes repo is basically the same as your wiki.
I still save webpages I want to read later locally with Wallabag. Websites are in many ways an ephemeral thing, what you want to read later might not be there later.
Digital surveillance is omnipresent in the west. Apparently nobody cares.
