  • Not saying they didn't know it was American. But what would be the advantage of Israel attacking a U.S. ship in that context?

  • I've been reading "Fighters in the Shadows" by Robert Gildea, it's about the resistance in France during World War 2. It's funny how big the tent can be when you're fighting fascism. They had people from all across the political spectrum, urban and rural, French plus countless other nationalities, and they were pursuing a really wide spectrum of activities.

    If you read Stancil's feed these days he's really doing the work, plus publicizing the issue. I don't think it makes sense to prioritize social media grudges at the moment.

  • What are you trying to accomplish here? Is your message to any Americans of conscience "no, you can't beat fascists"? Don't be a dick and don't be defeatist

  • I didn't do shit because I wasn't alive then. And clearly they're not gone, because here they are. But you may note that slavery is illegal now. Not enough but not nothing. If you want to doom keep it to yourself.

  • Better if it shows a Confederate soldier?

    We will beat them again. It's just a question of how much suffering until then, and how much we actually root out the ideology.

  • Innocent African-American child George Stinney executed after being falsely accused of murdering two white girls | 1944

    Jump

  • Yeah, fuck Facebook. But also lets not share misleading images alongside what is a true and horrible injustice.

  • Why do servers and supercomputers primarily run on Linux and not on some Microsoft/Apple/Google/Amazon OS?

  • If it's really easy then why isn't it the case?

  • To be clear these photos are from a dramatization of the execution. Here's a Facebook post saying so, I'm sure a more in depth search would turn up a better source

  • I can relate to being intimidated by any instructions that mention the terminal. When I first started with Linux I would prefer doing stuff using a GUI over command line.

    I started getting into hobbyist coding stuff, and fifteen years later I'm much more comfortable with the terminal.

    Even so, I think trying to make Linux more palatable for the average person is going to be tough. It's very difficult to make something that's powerful and extensible while also being easy to use.

  • How fake admiral Jonathan Carley was caught by sword and rare medals

    Jump

  • Yeah. Adults are held to a higher standard than children. But in practice many adults aren't that much different from children.

  • People are so weird.

    When I was at a religious summer camp (sleep over) one of the kids who had attended multiple years in a row told everyone his mom had cancer and didn't have much time left. Everyone was understandably sympathetic and people were referencing her specifically in group prayers and things like that. The camp director reached out to the family and they were like "what? No, she's fine."

  • Human casualties

  • Nice

  • What an unprocessed photo looks like

  • Cool. Reminds me a little bit of literary interpretation. There's no such thing as "just reading what's there", everyone interprets.

  • Pirate archivist group scrapes Spotify's 300TB library, posts free torrents for downloading 86,000,000 tracks — investigation underway as music and metadata hit torrent sites

    Jump

  • "Most music is terrible" so I'm not particularly drawn to having this vast archive. I want to listen to the things I really like.

    It's also not lossless, so from an archive standpoint that seems to diminish its value.

    That said, I do think the insights they post on their blog about statistics and distribution are interesting. And just because that music is currently available via paid services doesn't mean it will always be as accessible in one place. There would be a lot of manual collection and labeling you'd have to do to get something like this otherwise. And you wouldn't have nearly as much confidence about how comprehensive such a database was if you did it yourself.

  • This is interesting, thanks!

    Don't know that I would be active enough for what.cd, but I am drawn to archiving, lossless files and comprehensive metadata.

    I ripped my hundreds of CDs to FLAC and spent a good while organizing before Spotify came along with its temptations. Have started buying again on Bandcamp lately and been thinking about spinning up jellyfin.

  • There would be a lot of ideas about why different people get squished. We wouldn't know it was random definitively. And because it looks like a human adjacent hand, probably a lot of speculation about God punishing people for being bad.
