Anna's Archive, Libgen, Mobilism, IRC (I use a self-hosted service called OpenBooks for this). I use Calibre for metadata sorting, plug Kindle in and move books that way and keep it on airplane mode.

Also, new Kindle jailbreak for <= 5.16.2.1.1 if anyone's interested. Managed to get KoReader on my 10th Gen Basic.

Seems like they also recently decided to ban posting archive links/big chunks of articles. Rip that AI summary bot lmfao. What a bunch of clowns 🤡

IQ is a fucking terrible metric, for once, but has he ever wondered why that's the case?? Can this guy not see that they have one of the worst living conditions on this planet?

🤢 I've had enough of these fascists, we had the Canadian NaziGate and now plenty more excuses to outright flatten Palestine.

Wall. Now. (Or 100 years of labor camp)

✅ Western chauvinism

✅ Apathy

✅ Infantilization

Westoids never fail to disappoint. The liberalism on Lemmy has hit all time high. I'm so tired.

Libs: stop telling the rich to throw money away, it's not gonna solve everything.

Also libs: Ukraine aid asap, thoughts and prayers.

Rest of thread contains: billionaire apologia and dehumanization of the homeless

Fuck crapitalist realism

Eat the rich

Link because I'm not a lib

Most of them are unironic tankies and ~~communists~~ Marxists.

Sorry folks, they got us. We're not real commies, we're just theory-reading, paper-selling, terminally online mArxIsts.

For real though, can anyone here fluent in lib lingo explain to me why they think they're so smug crossing out "communists" for "Marxists"?

More Reddit than Reddit themselves.

Also u/ilovethebomb is a notorious Ukraine shill, I've seen them every time this war comes up. They're not the one-off mindless innocent lib, they purposely go on Lemmygrad to be angry and get owned.

Ah, the classic liberal copium. Why don't you just vote, it will fix everything. Right? RIGHT?

Ledditors griefing over internet "censorship" and muh freeze peach principles that were apparently violated when effective, direct measures were used to combat fascism.

I don’t think we should ever celebrate people being deplatformed...If the content is illegal pursue legal means to punish the posters...But let’s say they win, and they get the domain blocked everywhere. They’ll just launch a new domain, just like all the pirate streaming sites do.

Are you implying you shouldn't try to do anything because the fascists will (deterministically) win? Hence why the people trying to shut them down went straight to the ISPs because they know they can win the ISPs over on moral grounds?

[...] you have to decide if the internet is a human right or not. If it is, it must be for everyone, or it is for no one. As soon as we make exceptions to basic rights, those rights get eroded for everyone. Because people in power will bend the exceptions to political expediency.

Fascists don't deserve basic rights.

Damn, so for the last one, you have to be the BEST, and do all of the above, including being a MEDIOCRE person?

Because of better accessibility. How so?

Because not everyone has the money to afford these new and expensive laptops designed for a niche market. They are still enthusiast-grade products, the prices speak for themselves.

Because not everyone comes from Europe / the US, so it's not easy to find these with affordable shipping.

Because these laptops are only normally offered new, which, for responsible and personal ownership, is excessive. There are thousands of used hardware lying around, why not put some life back into them instead?

It comes down to price, availability and ethical concerns. Unless money doesn't mean anything to you, why do you need a $1000 laptop when someone wants a device for higher education or personal casual use? The world doesn't need more rampant marketing of niche, hyped-up tech. While a fully-FOSS system may be the ideal machine for every Linux enthusiast, we live in a material world with finite resources and chasing after some unicorn laptop is unsustainable.

Wonder how the libs are going to bend double to justify a statue for war criminals.

While editing in an input field, I'm so used to going for Ctrl+W instead of Ctrl+Backspace because it's more ergonomic. But almost all modern browsers use Ctrl + W to close tabs. Since when was this a convention? I'd love to go back in time and git revert this change. Incredibly frustrating.

TL;DR: old man yelling at clouds.

Here's mine ;)

I'm trying to add a modified css for lemmy-ui to my self-hosted instance running on Docker. I'm following this guide but the custom theme is just showing up as litely. Steps taken:

  • Went to bootstrap.build, made the necessary edits.
  • Exported the bootstrap.min.css as well as the _variables.scss
  • Renamed them to theme-name.css and _variables.theme-name.scss
  • Do the necessary bind mounts so lemmy-ui can access the files. Can confirm the files are correct and appear within the container.
  • From lemmy web ui, select from drop down the theme called theme-name (it shows up with the right name and all).
  • Press Save, but theme is just litely.
  • Use dev tools on browser and can confirm theme-name.css is just the litely css. cat theme-name.css within the container is showing the right content.
  • LEMMY_UI_EXTRA_THEMES_FOLDER is set correctly since the option for theme-name is showing up, it's just loading litely instead.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here :/
