Wow, how disappointing. The LARB published two pieces on Dune back when Villeneuve’s first movie came out that, imo, absolutely nailed relating Dune to current events: https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/heresies-of-dune/, https://lareviewofbooks.org/article/race-consciousness-fascism-and-frank-herberts-dune/.
Now I kind of want to save an offline copy of these articles in case the website goes down.
Reminds me of the mutant half-axolotl in season 1 of the Fallout tv series!
Hi, not OP, but: that’s known as frontmatter, it’s somewhat widespread, and thus I suspect that it’s much more difficult to have it live at the end of your markdown files than in a separate file or db altogether - unless OP is already rolling their own markdown parser.
In case you omitted the following out of ignorance and not by deliberate choice:
podman unshare can be used to (mostly) painlessly access the files created by rootless podman.
Thankfully the birds are often content to do most of the talking
I get random friend requests from accounts in discord servers that I haven’t even viewed, let alone interacted in, for years - most have some sort of “live/laugh/love” bio blurb. Maybe I’m just an antisocial hermit at this point, but I ignore every single one.
In comparison, Steam seems a lot more genuine. You can always try suggesting discord for voice chat if you’re leery of installing an unknown program just for talking to that user.
I’m surprised that’s what your experience of it was. To me it was about his hopeless (arguably naive) struggle to do what he thought was right and true in a time where both truth and morality were mostly becoming weaponized in service of alignments of power. He thought he could thread the needle only to time and time again have simply been used by others to further their own agendas, leaving hurt bystanders in his wake.
I somewhat agree that an hour could be cut out, though I don’t exactly know which parts.
It’s absurd how comforting it is to read your post, OP, and all these other’s comments. One could think it would be depressing to realize so many others are in a similar state, and yet I mainly feel relieved at not being alone in such an experience.
I hesitate to bring this up because you’ve clearly already done most of the hard work, but I’m planning on attending the following conference talk this weekend that might be of interest to you: https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/VEQTLH-infrastructure-as-python/
I recently went from 0 to 1. Reinstalled my VPS under debian, and decided to run my forgejo instance with their rootless container. Mostly as a learning experience, but also to easily decouple the forgejo version from whichever version my distro packages.
I want to agree, but knowing Trump it would be a national flavor of socialism :/
closely followed by Omarchy (I’d argue it’s not a distro, but it presents itself as one, so it gets to be judged as one)
To add on to your points on getting involved with community and managing online presence, here’s an article that describes some of how the residents of Minneapolis have been organizing neighborhood watches to keep track of ICE’s actions using Signal: https://crimethinc.com/2026/01/15/rapid-response-networks-in-the-twin-cities-a-guide-to-an-updated-model
time for hardcore shuffle to make a comeback?
The left need to align the police with their interest.
How do you propose they/we do that when the police have functionally been antithetical to the left’s interests across most, if not all, of recorded history? It’s not like this is an optics issue; state-sanctioned monopoly on physical violence is literally counter to the entire point of being “to the left”.
Syntax highlighting for code blocks is the reason I prefer discord over slack for collaborating and just chatting with friends who know how to code. I imagine some irc clients exist that so the same, but at least with discord I know my recipient is guaranteed to see what I see.
From what I’ve heard, Mein Kampf is similarly drivel. Don’t know if that’s comforting or even more depressing…
