Of all the things to call someone who employs coarse slang/diminutives for ethnic and cultural groups, racist wouldn't even make top 5 in most people's books.

Also: fuck the Cardis, they deserved their fate.

The corporate media are very clear on this. Citizens won't be doing any primary reporting, nor will they be doing curation of reportage. Weird, huh?

See the example of Level1News becoming Level1Show, etc.

Suppression of the suspect's voice really is misinformation on the part of states and corporations, albeit for different reasons.

Relevant laws and policies are employed in order to deliberately withhold public information about motive. They don't want people placing these incidents this within a broader context. There couldn't possibly be a belief set behind the behaviour; the perp didn't have any ideas about how the world works, or who and what caused their circumstances. Oh no.

Why did the shooter go out and shoot people is a completely legitimate question. More than that, it will never be an illegitimate question, no matter how much autistic screeching authorities do. Learning is never wrong, and that includes the publishing and reading of a criminal suspect's thoughts.

Nothing surpsises me about a single small sectional interest (football copyright) being able to wreak such havoc and inequity on a whole nation. Italian standards of governance are a joke.

One of the best YT lectures on censorship I've come across is Ada Palmer's "Why We Censor: from the Inquisition to the Internet". It lays out the universal nature of such regimes, including their slapdash conception and setup, and the arbitrary and indiscriminate targeting they engage in thanks to how co-optable they are.

Since about Plasma 6 onward I've been getting system restarts when attempting to play back video files and/or seek through them.

Kernel 6.5.0-41

KDE neon 6

Plasma 6.1.2

Qt 6.7.0

Ryzen 7 3700x CPU

AMD R9 390 GPU

16GB DDR4 RAM

The system will crash and reboot when:

  • Attempting to play any video with an mp4 container (mpv and vlc tested)
  • Attempting to seek with the mouse while playing most videos (mp4 and matroska)
  • Scrolling too fast in a file manager
  • Clicking and dragging to resize various windows (terminal, browsers, etc)

The system performs fine when:

  • Playing videos in a webm container
  • Playing videos in software like avidemux, kdenlive, gwenview, etc.
  • Streaming video in a web browser

The issue has persisted through these toubleshooting measures:

  • Update to latest BIOS firmware
  • Switching between Wayland and X11
  • Substitution of the PSU to a brand new unit

My assumption so far is that it's not hardware related. Currently I suspect it's Plasma. Below is the journal output of records around one such crash time of 5.19-5.20pm:

Suggestions for next steps would be welcome. Is it worth considering a rollback to the previous/older Plasma versions? Assuming Plasma doesn't like my DAC or keyboard or whatever, is it worth substituting or removing USB devices?

Ad blockers assert your belief in the web browser as user agent, not server agent

  • We know you're using an ad blocker. How dare you.
  • Alphabet's cross-subsidy, and the political value of controlling the Overton window, allows Youtube to remain publicly accessible.
  • You can get double-penetrated with Youtube Premium, first on the subscription fee then on the usage analytics.

It makes you wonder why Google pursues initiatives like Web Environment "Integrity", given that proprietary mobile apps for the most part have already completed the hatchet job on user agency and privacy.

This is how you effectively combat the interests trying to kill libraries, filesharing and the public commons in general. Continue normalizing the activity, as it makes law designed to attack it all the more odious and unworkable. The bad guys lose when cultural attitudes rally around free information exchange. The key to that is being public and vocal like the dev.

First of all, Monos is a film set in the jungle, so you know it's already good (see Raiders, Jurassic Park, Sorcerer, Predator, Apocalypto, etc.). Secondly, Landes has an eye for scene composition and potent metaphor. Thirdly, it gets awfully good performances out of a mostly amateur cast.
