    What are your thoughts on odysee in 2025?

  • Yeah I deal with despair too. It's hard, especially with all the terrible shit we're seeing. I'm trying to alchemize it into anger and action, but I think everyone struggles with that. I get some boosts from being involved in local work and the community around that.

    I don't get involved in electoral campaigns. Maybe local work would be something you'd gain energy from.

    1. President and NY Mayor are very different in terms of how much they can be pressured. The right & establishment are fighting, why won't you?
    2. Biden was always a shit, especially on Gaza, so the horizon was different from explicitly demsoc + antizionist Mamdani. Even still, there are pretty major differences between biden and trump on domestic policy.
    3. Right now there is a swell of hope and energy on the left bc of the Mamdani campaign -- lay the groundwork there to build a durable movement that won't be demobilized after the election. Get people into mutual aid, ice resistance, abolitionist, etc groups!

    Look, no politician is going to embody real change, but we know Cuomo will be a much bigger obstacle. pressuring, as you point out, only goes so far, but you have to start from where you are and develop a movement inch by inch.

    It's psychologically easier to be cynical, but it also helps your enemies win.

  • Let the guy govern for a month before giving up. New Yorkers should pressure him from the left, not just sit back and let the right do it's thing

  • No Safety Net = Uprising?

    Jump

  • You're afraid of your own class when you should be meeting, building trust, and organizing with them.

    The capitalists hate and fear their own workers and yes, would rather they live at the edge of survival rather than give up a cent of profit. The govt is putting force behind that by cutting benefits, hiring cops, and building prisons.

    A Zionist Pussy?

    Jump

  • Nothing about this image references zionism, only Jewish people. Symbols of zionism would be the Israeli flag, an IDF uniform, etc. So that makes it antijewish instead of antizionist, despite the title.

  • Someone else will take it up. Hopefully the transition is a graceful one, but it could be forked if necessary.

  • Yeah the way the file system works is of the big differences from windows. That can def be a point of frustration.

    There are linux approaches to having your /boot, /root, /usr on another partition or drive. It's been common to separate them for a good while and in fact many or most linux installers ask where you want each of them to live (might be in advanced settings).

    It takes time to learn a new system. Keep going!

  • What kinds of beginner guides do you think would have helped you get most things done? (genuine question - trying to help documentation writers understand new user issues)

  • Mastodon updates terms of service to ban AI model training on user data

  • That is not true. The terms of service cover "your access and use of Server Operator's ("Administrator", "we", or "us") instance". Access includes reading data from the server.

  • @Aurora: I think most Pixelfed instances/apps have a way to block NSFW content. You'll have to make sure your sister has NSFW content blocking on (and keeps it on) and you'll want to check in with her every now and then about her experience there. I think marking images as NSFW is optional for the person posting the content, so not every single NSFW image will necessarily be blocked. It's hard to give someone a completely clean social media experience.

    One other thing you can try: look for instances that are focused on a topic your sister enjoys that is not likely to have NSFW content in it, like ppl who are interested in trains or playing a musical instrument. There are some here: https://fediverse.party/en/portal/servers/ (but you should check the server before she joins)

    to all the commenters saying the fediverse is not a good place: these kids are going to be on social media, one way or another. It could be tiktok, bluesky, snapchat, or whatever else they can get onto. Some (but not all) parts of the fediverse should be accessible to them. Ofc that means someone has to do the hard work of hosting those instances, which is not easy. Just saying "this isn't for you" isn't doing teens or the fediverse or parents any favors.

  • That's hard. Another solution, if it's a laptop, is to have him mail it to you. Mailing a computer internationally 2 ways (a) will take a long time and (b) requires very, very good packing
