It already is, and they’re already speedrunning us into the next one. All the more reason to focus on protecting who we can, and who is willing to not be an active harm.

The people who would do that would be putting themselves at greater risk when the next pandemic does break out. That’s their problem - especially if they’ve been informed on everything they can do to help and protect themselves.

I’ve been spending more time on reddit recently, and it’s not because I like it better. Somehow that algorithmic infinite scroll just makes time disappear despite being largely ungratifying. It’s the same with Youtube. Whereas with Lemmy I check the first, and maybe second page, and then I feel like that’s all I need for a while and go do something else.

I read somewhere that the previous Trump administration did make some policy decisions based on the belief that those on the left would be disproportionately impacted by covid. But do not underestimate how inept and incompetent Trump is also.

Make an effort to be healthy, and keep updated with flu vaccines. Moderna recently received funding for developing h5n1 vaccines, so keep an eye on that. And don’t wait - you never know what stupid things Trump might do to suppress vaccine access.

If we could get enough people to stop eating animal products at the same time, it would simultaneously lower their personal risks of infection, the risks of another pandemic, and it could hit the animal ag industries hard - who are some of the largest funders of the gop.

Yeah I get that. I’ve just gotten used to leaving pdfs the way they are, and choosing to read them on more appropriate devices like laptops or tablets.

Whatever the case, fuck Monsanto; free the seed.

Nothing malicious that I know of. 🙃

The emulation community has Redump and No-Intro for verifying the integrity of roms. Maybe we need the same for books?

Would it work to convert it to a simpler intermediate format like rtf or txt, and then convert into html? Why html anyway, Isn’t epub more appropriate?

Maybe we can start by looking at all the corporations who are most supporting him, and push hard for boycotts. It might be slightly indirect, but corporate partners do seem to have the most influence on policy decisions. Maybe we could make a document in the style of the PrivacyGuides project to help people choose alternatives to fascist supporters.

I’ve seen posts on Mastodon calling for the general strike as well.

Good question, I honestly don’t know. :-(

Personally, when I can afford it I’m going to go for the OnePlus Nord N10 5G. I don’t feel the need for the more stringent security hardening on GrapheneOS, so basic LineageOS MicroG is enough for me.

I hate the lack of a headphone jack enough to make that tradeoff, vs a Google Pixel.

Umm, no? There would just be more fan projects of other games.

I never bought the first Switch, so this is just another thing I won’t buy.

Obligatory fuck Nintendo.
