Juan Branco is not the most reliable source sadly, yeah he would be under Mossad surveillance but also he would be the kind of person to make self-aggrandizing stuff up.

I feel the higher people are in the social hierarchy, the more they see themselves as a special case and above the law. Which I guess is at least somewhat true, going by the news.

Sorry citizen, your time for self expression and democracy, as materialized by a single vote for one preset option you had no voice towards, in an election rigged by the party brass, has passed. Please go back to being an obedient worker drone. See you in two years, which is plenty often enough for a satisfactory democracy!

Courriel is québécois, the official metropolitan french translation is “mél” which as far as I know sees virtually no use.

Also the académie isn’t coining these official government translations , but rather an entity called the CELF. What the académie does is, well, nothing, it’s basically just a tool for embezzlement that happens to be supported by a major newspaper.

Don’t worry, governments will just use both

How does one get the emulsion started without egg or mustard ?

I should have been clearer sorry. Wearing a helmet is obviously better in a crash; but, both personally and societally, not wearing one decreases the chances of getting in a crash in the first place.

Helmets are bad for safety because (1) car drivers act more dangerous around cyclists wearing helmets and (2) they discourage people from riding bikes whereas the primary safety factor of cycling, by far, is the number of people cycling.

Being tired is normal and I can only understand the feeling, but if there’s one hope it is through collective action, not individualism. Any individual or family will inevitably lose against the overwhelming power of corporations or the state.

Step 1: make some kind of surveillance & control system that is voluntary

Step 2: make life for those who dont want it less convenient (you are here)

Step 3: make non-participation in the system be in itself suspicious and a cause for further investigation

The state calls its violence law, and that of others crime. (to paraphrase Stirner)

In China it was the Communists who walked the death march.

I was unaware communists were an ethnic group. But I guess if their predecessors had a hard time in a civil war 80 years ago it means they can’t be racists now.

In North America, unlike South America and Tibet or Xinjiang, the people don’t look native. It’s not very similar.

Ah yes, let’s set state policy based on what people look like.

The “communism” in anarcho-communism much predates these states.

I use yabridge for running VSTs and it is normally great, however it isn’t compatible yet with the newest WINE versions.

Depending on your needs and hardware, Linux audio can bring full satisfaction. The new subsystem, Pipewire (replacing both PulseAudio and JACK) is very convenient and still low latency. Applications are still catching up but the ecosystem has made major strides in recent years.

Yes you should, and it would be even better to use it as a template to write it yourself.

MEPs will pay more attention to messages that seem genuine and from their voters rather than mass-produced by foreigners.

In their world, resisting surveillance will be probable cause for arrest, because you must have something to hide and need to be investigated.

I just build stuff in vanilla solo creative mode yes haha

I can’t be bothered to mess with all the Microsoft stuff to install Minecraft these days so I just play Luanti to scratch that itch, it’s polished enough for me but my usage is very basic.

There is Luanti with the VoxeLibre plugin.
