Idk if this even has anything specific to do with being disabled except that people for some reason feel the need to get in disabled peoples business. Like just treat disabled people like youd treat anyone else. Unsolicited advice is usually not something someones wants. A disabled person isnt gonna suddenly want it because theyre disabled.

Like for example if i told someone "I got food poisoning" and they were like "Have you considered..." Id be like dude shut the fuck up im shitting my brains out over here. Just leave me alone.

Thats something people generally understand. If you think you have advice that could help you can say "Oh i know a good home remedy wanna hear it?" You dont just start throwing advice at people.

People just need to treat disabled people with the same respect theyd give to a non-disabled person. Thats the way i see it anyway.

I was thinking of looking for a gym with a good queer community figure if they advertise as queer friendly it probably turns off Nazis from signing up.

I wouldn't really be doing MMA to socialize anyway. I'd just learn what i need to learn, and cancel the membership after.

yeah i was just being cheeky even libs would probably freak out about that. I wouldn't wear something like that somewhere i didn't know people already and know atleast some would be fine with it.

Is it Passiflora Edulis, or Passiflora Incarnata? Incarnata is the non-tropical one and native to the southeast US among other places while edulis is native to the tropics.

My native fruit vines i planted last year just came up again. I was getting worried they were a bit behind schedule. Looking forward to having some in a few months. :)

Ooo i had been thinking about getting into MMA does this mean if i do I'll get to beat up Nazi's legally?

I find i to look on forums for solutions less and less anyway. Once you've been using a distro long enough unless your trying to do something you've never done before it's usually pretty simple to know what's wrong, and fix it. Because you'll get the same things popping up over and over again.

I also like to keep like a little doc of fixes I've done on each computer so that if a year later i need to do a version upgrade or reinstall i can look back to it, and see what i did last time if i get repeat issues. Especially useful on stuff like laptops where you'll have really specific hardware issues that reappear years later, and normally take hours and hours of trying to figure out what is broken.

"Jailbreaking AI" is still a thing people talk about? I've literally had ChatGPT tell me "Hmmm this might violate OpenAIs terms of service. Unless its hypothetical. It's hypothetical right?" and i said "Yeah it's hypothetical." And it said "Great! So anyway..."

China had even larger flooding which effected even more people at around the same time, and they had much better outcomes. If research could be done on both, and a comparative chart made it could be decent agitprop

 

So admittedly i am not the most well read on Islam, but i am aware that generally the entire muslim world has a majority of the population despising the US/Isntreal at this point right?

So with everything going on i can't help but think there is a non-zero chance this could trigger a 2nd arab sping. If US Vassals in the region sit idly by while Iran, and its allies are in full blown war with the US/isntreal i can see it really fucking pissing off a lot of the population in the muslim world.

Am i reading this wrong, and there isn't really any proper organization in most of these countries to pull something off, or could we actually see some real popular pressure start to form against US-backed states/monarchies?

 

Source: Aljazeera

The US president is denying reports he left the G7 summit early to work on a truce between Israel and Iran.

Attributing the claim to his French counterpart, Trump wrote: “Publicity seeking President Emmanuel Macron, of France, mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a ‘ceasefire’ between Israel and Iran. Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire.”

He said his return was about something “much bigger than that” and added, “Stay Tuned!”

As we’ve been reporting, the US leader earlier issued an ominous warning on his Truth Social platform, saying: “Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”

I am assuming Stalin would approve of this since he literally robbed trains. Also he's so handsome. So thats why hes my thumbnail.

Recently I have kind of realized that the way I use the internet isnt as common as I thought. I don’t watch ads ever, and I pirate a lot. I thought id share some methods and hopefully help others get a better online experience.

~~So I know theres a few piracy communities around that might work for some of this stuff, but its not all piracy and I want more people to see it so here we are~~

I wanted to make this because I think a lot of people don’t realize just how easy it is to save money, and time online. Even if you know some of these methods hopefully a few will be new to you.

Time to learn how to look like this IRL

We will go through some stages. Basic, Advanced, and Torrenting methods.

Basic

First things first is the web browser we are going to use. This guide will be based on FLOORP. A Fire Fox fork. Its what I use for general web use. For more privacy centric folks switch it out for LibreWolf and all this should still work fine with some tweaking. Or any Firefox variant.

Browser Extensions: Get these from the firefox extension store.

Ublock Origin: General adblock and doesn’t need much configuring. If it doesn’t block something you want gone you can right click it and block it manually.

Alternative Player for Twitch.tv: This will add a new web player for twitch streams which will block ads in the streams. It will drop the resolution while it blocks them to 480p and say “Hiding Ads” in the corner. I am pretty sure the streamer still gets paid since it has no way to know you arent watching them.

ClearURLs: Removes tracking elements from URLs

I still don’t care about cookies: Will get rid of annoying cookie pop ups on most sites by just accepting them automatically.

Sponsorblock for YouTube – Skip Sponsorships: Names self explanatory. Community powered so some new videos wont be flagged yet. You can configure what is skipped and isnt.

A few others I find useful, Dont Track Me Google, Twitch Channel Points Autoclicker, Unwanted Twitch, Youtube-shorts block, Pinyin Web(For learning chinese), Dark Reader.

Now at this point your browser should be basically ad free and debloated. I recommend messing with FLOORPs settings if you used that its got some nice customization options.

Now lets make use of it to get some free content.

Anime: https://kaa.mx/ or https://hianime.to/tv

TV/Movies: https://movies5.online/

Overall list of pirating sites and other useful things: https://fmhy.net/ This has all kinds of stuff. Definitely worth checking out. It even has textbooks for school.

I cannot stress enough that I would not go to piracy sites without the above adblocking setup or something similar. Theyre usually full of crazy ads some of which could have malware. With ads blocked ive never had issues though.

Advanced

Music: Many people use spotify. If you do I recommend not buying premium, and instead using SpotXBash. Or the windows alternative. This one works for Linux and Mac. You run the script, and your spotify is ad free. It does require terminal usage, and theres always the risk your spotify account gets banned if they detect it. It’ll need re running every now and then as updates can mess it up. I’ve never been banned but if your worried about it make a new account for it. https://github.com/SpotX-Official/SpotX-Bash

Now you may be thinking, like I did, “I wish I didn’t have to stream my music. Just let me download it.”

Thats where spotdl comes in. https://github.com/spotDL/spotify-downloader

Theres a tutorial on getting it setup on the github. Once its ready its pretty simple you make a playlist on your newly ad free spotify, run the command spotdl with the link to it, and itll grab all the songs off youtube if theyre available. Quick and easy music piracy. Not perfect as sometimes you get music video versions but its pretty good.

I’ve downloaded hundreds of songs this way, and its nice to have when you don’t have internet, and the powers out or something.

Also if you don’t want to use youtube at all due to privacy reasons now we have a more advanced option for you. FreeTube. Its an app that works on all OS’s as far as I have seen even mobile, and works as a youtube frontend. You can even use invidious as the way to get videos for even more privacy. https://freetubeapp.io/

Torrenting

Ok if you’ve been following along this far its time to take a breather. Depending on where you are, and who your ISP is this part can be pretty risky. You might get letters in the mail, might get fined, could even get sued in some places.

That being said I can show you how to do it safely.

First we are going to buy something. Mullvad VPN. Its the only VPN id recommend getting. It is 5.50$ or so a month, and if you cancel your streaming accounts it’ll pay for itself now that you’ll be pirating stuff with it.

Once youve bought and setup Mullvad we can continue. Go here: https://mullvad.net/en/check

Its going to check that the VPN is working correctly. You should see 3 green boxes that say Using Mullvad, No DNS leaks, No WebRTC leaks. If you have that go into Mullvads settings. Under VPN settings Kill Switch, and Lockdown Mode should be turned ON. This will prevent your computer from connecting to the internet with anything but the VPN.

Now we are gong to get qBitTorrent. This is our torrenting client. Your gonna install it, click settings, advanced, and look for “Network Interface.” There will be a drop down menu. Click it and select the mullvad option. Mine is “wg0-mullvad” then click apply.

Your now ready to torrent and cannot be tracked by the other leechers or seeders. So you wont get those DMCA letters.

Now where do we find things to torrent? That wiki I linked earlier has some stuff. For games https://fitgirl-repacks.site/ is a great option. She recently repacked The Last of Us Part II remastered.

You’ll copy the magnet link, put that into Qbittorrent, and let it do its thing. Once its done you’ll pause the torrent. Assuming you don’t want to keep seeding it for other people downloading. Then open up the files and it’ll be an easy installer.

So to recap. You should no longer be seeing ads online, no longer be paying for stupid streaming services, and be getting lots of music, and games for free. Plus you get the added bonus of making liberals and capitalists mad by not giving them your money. If your well off take the money you saved and do mutual aid, if your poor like me and couldn’t afford this stuff anyway, enjoy!

P.S. If you are worried about not supporting certain independent creators and stuff while doing this keep in mind direct donations are still an option for pretty much everything. Most youtubers have a patreon or something for example.

you just paste the link of an album/song (whether via Qobuz, Deezer, Tidal, etc…) and download away. Then all you have to do is unzip the resulting archive file.

Hey hexbear its been a minute. Hows everyone been?

 

So, like many of you I'm sure, i have been on Xiaohongshu lately. It was like a breath of fresh air. I always knew that China was there with its 1.3 billion strong population a majority of whom are extremely based. To see it first hand though? To actually talk to them? It reignited a flame of hope inside me that was getting pretty weak lately. It's easy to get lost in the horrible shit going on. Especially in the west. Where youre surrounded by fascists and radlibs constantly. Part of why i use lemmy is to get that experience of being around sane people. Who arent existing in some alternate reality created by US propaganda.

Now despite my username I'm not one of those people who thinks China does no wrong, and is a perfect utopia. It's still very much in the early stages of socialism and admits as much. One thing i heard from a Chinese comrade though was- paraphrased: "China is preparing to bring the next international socialist movement by 2050. Things are going well, and we are confident. The party brings us good news regularly, and great progress is being made." and another one asked "Are you [people in the west] prepared for revolutionary action?"

It made me think. Am i ready - If China launched a worldwide effort to support socialist movements, and revolutions as the USSR once did - tomorrow? I'm not. Not even close. I mean yeah obviously the west itself doesn't have the conditions needed for it. It's not ready at all. Me personally I'm not either, BUT I could be with some work.

So i am going to change that. I have 25 years according to that comrade; more than enough time. I'll be a bit old, but not to the point i can't fight. I've made a plan, and already started putting it into action. No more escapism in my free time. I will be learning Chinese, teaching myself math that i missed out on in school up to calculus, learning a martial art, exercising A LOT more, diving more into my radio hobby, buying a gun/learning how to shoot it well, studying up on other useful subjects, and teaching myself some advanced first-aid. Perhaps I'll even study up on modern guerilla tactics used by the axis of resistance a bit.

If that day ever comes where I am needed be it in 2050, or otherwise I don't want to even have to consider if I'm ready or not. I want to just be able to say "hell yeah" and get to work.
