How important is the rise of authoritarianism?

#Poll #EvanPoll

@jonn @evan Well, it looks like RapidBlock is an application too, not just a block list. It is in early development, I'm plodding thru it now.

There are Debian packages for amd64/arm. Those use zstd compression though, so don't work on Debian Stable (Bullseye), since apt can't decompress them.

It builds easily with the Go compiler, but you need golang from backports in Debian Stable.

I'm writing up a mini-HOWTO. If I get it working, I'll put it up somewhere.

What a weird bubble racists are living in.

After checking their toots:
Their main passions (in alphabetical order):

#christianity
#murder
#necrophilia
#pedophilia
#racism
#sexism
#tolkien
#torture
#trump

Well, it seems that this post has gotten the attention of some racist trolls on the outskirts of the Fediverse.

I was able to clear up the worst of it by using https://rapidblock.org/ 🙏 as well as blocking domains in this post:

Sorry for anyone in this thread who may have gotten swarmed by racists. I think if you add those domains to your personal or instance blocklist, you'll get rid of the worst of it.

In the linked YouTube video - https://youtu.be/vzcoC2CqmTM -I talk about brushes and paints, and also share my thoughts about: 1. Strange revelations about visual perception. 2. Winston Churchill's philosophy of painting. 3. And a more Taoist view of the painting mindset.

Any “neutral” position favors the aggressor.

Please, stop the ridiculousness. Tanks are not obsolete. Neither ATGMs nor especially drones make tanks obsolete. There is no perfect weapon.

Is this a new Russian campaign to discredit aid to Ukraine? Ukraine needs tanks. Tanks will make a huge difference. Please send tanks.

Valerii Zaluzhny, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: we need tanks.

Is anyone else with a birdsite account seeing more right-wing, unsolicited tweets from accounts you don't follow? I've had to delete a few and block at least one in the last 24 hours.

Some strange stuff going on over there.
