Her me oot

I moved over to actualbudget! It’s way more intuitive to me and the the simplefin integration my bank transactions are automatically imported

This is what Sinclair Lewis’ It Can’t Happen Here is about. A book about the rise of fascism in the US written in 1935.

Actually surprised chatgpt is less than average

That was a good read, thanks!

Over the years i have settled on zotero with th webdav backup to a self-hosted nextcloud server. Works great. Recently i started using the bookmark manager Hoarder and save articles i find there until i read them. My workflow is

• get google scholar alerts sent to RSS feed (locally hosted freshrss)
• save articles in Hoarder that i intend to read
• when i have time, read articles in Hoarder, add the citation to zotero, take notes in Obsidian on the article and link it to the zotero item using the Zotero plugin, and then also move the article to a ‘already read’ list in Hoarder.

Kinda complicated but it’s been working!

Probably not helpful to be this divisive with your anti trump allies. Whether in your eyes the abstention voters made a mistake or not, we’re going to need all the solidarity we can get to oppose/survive this administration

2 years out and still working on this in therapy

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted, this seems pretty irrefutable and apolitical haha

Does anyone else just shuffle them around every few months to a new place, just to feel productive? I had them in a bookmarks folder for a while, then saved in a desktop folder, and just last week i consolidated them in a LinkWarden repo

I mean, this is semantic. People have been treated as property. Just like land has been treated as property. Is it right? Fuck no. Let’s build a world where this is not true, but right now and historically it is

We have very little say in how our government works. Over the course of US history the material decisions have been whisked away to less democratic structures (eg the supreme court, the federal reserve). Even early on the democracy was built for property owners (owners of people and land). People are feeling disenfranchised and the vote for trump is a (petulant) vote to flip the gameboard. Of course voting for trump is one of the worst things you can do if you want you and your community’s lives to improve, but the fundamental motivation is disenfranchisement and anger

I mean, in the US, the archetype of progressive policy success, the New Deal, was only possible because of labor militancy and the threat of systemic collapse. That should give an idea

“Property owners” covers both and is more concise

This mobile app is not associated with the current open source project. Like i think it’s a vestige from before they went open source. They recommend using actual in your mobile browser for now, which works decently well

Where meme

“We got a president that doesn’t know he’s alive”

Yeah, i agree that there are some really tough contradictions there, and the material result definitely looks like accelerationism.

Thanks for reading it!

I think it’s worth platforming this particular indigenous perspective outlined in Voting is Not Harm Reduction. Not expounding the point but rather bringing a concertedly marginalized voice into the conversation. https://www.indigenousaction.org/voting-is-not-harm-reduction-an-indigenous-perspective/

Sweet! Does it sync to mobile? I’m on ios, and haven’t looked into syncthing
