I dunno. I keep remembering what my old Pebble did, and how well it did, and nothing more… And yep, I want it back.

Basically, a dumb watch, with an HR monitor, accelerometer, and could sync that data to my phone app.

Its API let me do cool things like pause/unpause my music while running, which was nice. But, it required the apps to be have an API for doing so.

Battery? The thing went an entire week between charges.

Hard to find. Only two nurseries carry them.

Thunderbird and neomutt.

Watch the intro video when you first turn on the mac book. REALLY.

If you miss it, or whatever, find the current vid to watch. Before I did that, it felt like the touchpad was insane, and just doing random shit.

And get iTerm2. Its better than stock.

From there, its just a UNIX with a funny window manager.

Is that the one that tried to get democrats to support the gaza genocide?

No, that’s not at all what they stated, or even implied, from my perception.

At this point, for example, a healthy media would be calling Israel’s actions what they have been determined to be, by experts in the field: A right wing state engaged in a genocide. Several parts of the UN have determined it, as well as a number of independent human rights organizations.

Additionally, the same would apply to all countries, just in case someone is thinking I’m just anti-Israel, or anti-US… China should be called out by all news outlets for their human rights abuses. Britain should be called out for their trampling of human rights too. Same goes for India, Canada, Australia, Germany, Austria, France, etc.

I would disregard, at least, that line of thinking. I mean, Tor was heavily funded by the CIA… However, it’s secure. Linux kernel is largely funded by the US government. However, it’s secure.

What dessalines is doing is called “poisoning the well”.

However, I’ll find some more, as I recently was looking into this.

Like this?

Or more a techie in-depth review?

I can attest: Briar requires no PII to create an account, operates over the Tor network (Your device becomes an onion service, basically, for chat). And, it integrates with Ripple, an emergency wipe button app (As does signal).

I like it, because you can keep a blog, create forums, group chats, and a few other really cool features. It sucks down your battery life, though (It’s the notifs, and keeping an always-on server running).

Science.

Science has been able to get inside the heads and determine what animals are thinking? This is a breakthrough! We should now be able to communicate with these animals! Surely we can, right?

My point is how you tried to argue reproduction based on instincts, so I brought another instinct-based trait.

Ok, try not eating. Period. I bet instincts will kick in, and you’ll eat, and not starve.

Urbanization and capitalism aren’t part of Nature.

Nobody besides yourself even implied they are.

I doubt it can be changed, especially due to how things are pivoting to technofascism in the world. I doubt it can be changed, especially due to how we humans are constantly endangering other species for living as “modern humans”.

We’ve changed it myriad times. I provided two such examples.

However, we humans have been long detached from natural means of living so transition wouldn’t be easy, we’re sort of cursed to “modernity”, so it’s complicated.

Ah, so you think all humanity is illustrated only by western living, huh?

They do possess intelligence (especially crows and dolphins, not mentioned), but they don’t end up cursed by knowing the pointlessness of their own existences through a broader, cosmic lens. We do.

Are you sure about this? How can you possibly know? How about Octopi? They are, almost certainly, as intelligent as we are, and have 8 brains interworking with each other. You have zero possibility to even guess how they view the world.

If we were to talk about instincts, murdering to eat (hunting) is also pretty instinctive across species… Humans don’t often “murder to eat” because they often delegate it for others to do it, but with enough desperation (e.g. lack of food) a human can even eat other humans (see Chichijima incident)…

Not sure your point? Tribes have always relied on varied tasks for members. Even higher primates do this.

It’s also instinctive to live among the woods.

No, it’s not. Its instinctive to seek shelter, water, food, and to reproduce. Instinctually, we are also social animals, requiring our tribe to survive.

Maybe because we’re legally forbidden by other humans to move to a forest and live as our ancestors did, so we’re required to live “among society”, which in turn requires us to “pay” to “afford” food and shelter.

So, that’s the root of the problem, and it’s something we can change. See: Seneca Nation, or the people of Chiapas.

Briar is… Signal if you turned security up to 11. It comes with drawbacks, like if you are offline, you miss messages. You can get around it by using their mailbox, but that brings other issues (Securing a server).

Wealth becomes meaningless.

I don’t think this is a negative…

So, I’ve gotta ask: Why don’t you just end the one life you can, since you hate all life? I mean, it sounds rather… illogical for you to type all that out, to tell other life what your thoughts are, since you hate all life anyways?

Why not go be a hermit then? Get away from all other humans, and just exist by yourself?

If you’re talking to people here, it means you enjoy your own life, and want to communicate your thoughts to other lives, so they can understand what you’re feelings are. Which means, at some level, you value life.

Problem is that this argument discards the selfhood from those being born.

So, can they also choose to be born?

Selfhood, if we’re being frank, doesn’t really “form” until at least a year or so into life. Just not enough cognitive ability yet.

Do bears choose to be born? Microbes?

Reproduction is an instinctive behavior, in all species. Humans as well.

Our ecosystem has a tendency to keep over reproduction in check. For all species.

If the load becomes too high, resources become scarce, and reproductive rates fall.

For example, there’s a reason why birthrates are falling right now, for humans. And why deadly diseases are becoming more common.

seems to be the ONLY industry where these religious nutjobs pretend to care about workers.

Nah, they dug in with it in the healthcare field, when “fighting for nurses” who were idiots and thought vaccines killed people.

Apparently, ICE is “all white people” I guess.

My last ban was for “Fostering and promoting race based hate and violence”.

My comment resulting in the ban, I believe was “Fuck ICE and anyone who aids that white supremacist gestopo. Fight them via any and all means necessary”.

I appealed, and the ban was upheld.

Codeberg.

Meanwhile, you post here :P

Good luck. NYS couldn’t even keep track of this requirement just for CCW permits.
