I don't really disagree with you but I don't see this headline/article working to their advantage in any way.

Yeah it should be disposable. You have to get a new one next time you sign in to something.

Policy. They both won and will keep winning because people like socialist (socdem) policies. You can call either or both of them ineffective at getting policy done, or be skeptical of their intentions, but the reason they won is that they have a policy platform that actually addresses peoples concerns and living conditions.

I don't know very much about their content at all, but I did watch some of this clip of Hasan talking to one of those guys Link.

He seems almost okay considering he's just 22? Depending on how the next couple election cycles go I could see a redemption arc shortly after. He says he isn't even particularly high on the Democrats which is a much better starting point than the liberals of 5 years ago.

Right that's the vibe I have too. I've heard deltachat is a decent replacement for self-hosted messaging.

Edit: after reading more about deltachat, it seems like it is pretty well suited to being Hexbear's main messenger instead of matrix, no? It is almost a Signal replacement where I don't need a phone number to sign up.

I might give it a go, but it sounds like it isn't a replacement for a heavy duty messenger like Discord/Slack, unforuntately.

• matrix uses a security protocol that sometimes has an absolute meltdown, leading to people not being able to see or send certain messages once the encryption breaks. Good for secure messaging (because messages stay encrypted), but it is frustrating to deal with, and will turn people away (including me).
• element doss not support multiple accounts and has no plan to do so. I hear that other apps may support it, but I'm not sure what the current status of that is.

Messaging particularly benefits from a smooth UX and I think matrix has accepted certain trade offs for the aspects it's strong in.

Kobo is decent and budget friendly, i recently upgraded to pocketbook which has nicer hardware

Why would we have a moratorium? Let's discuss the misleading headlines head on! Media criticism had always been a part of the site culture.

If the only leverage Mamdani has is "I can endorse you or not", he is fucked. Any realistic analysis requires that his administration begin building public consciousness about how these things work, where they money comes from and goes, and organizing to have, say, NYC keep more of its own funding and get more funding from it being the primary financial center of the planet.

Largely agree, it's just been a couple months so I'm interested to see what the next play is going to be. Mildly hopeful that there is a greater strategy that I/we aren't aware of yet, but I'm definitely not going to bank on it or anything. It was never going to be easy to navigate the electoralism sphere. It actually very much sucks ass (which is why so many of us on here give it a cold shoulder ofc).

They usually go for "disorderly conduct" (you had a feeling about the situation at hand) or "obstruction of justice" (you didn't let me do whatever I wanted) if they want to take someone away for bs reasons (even if the charges are dropped next week).

Technically trespassing requires a verbal warning at which time you're allowed to leave freely before they arrest you.

Yes although I think he should give them three strikes and knock them out. Each time the choice is "are you going to do mild social democracy that everyone wants? Or do what your donors want?" And in this case they're forced to answer in a way that has real effects, not just a symbolic vote or something

If they don't play ball it really just makes him stronger.

He is being prosecuted but the Crown Prosecution Service not the Department of Justice though?

I guess technically doesn't contradict what she said though
