2·2 days agoNix is new to me, but what I’ve read seems like it’s very polarizing. Curious what kind of real world use makes it a good choice?
It’s been a while but LibreOffice has worked well and exported to PDF without problems for me.

The U.S. directly purchased Argentine pesos on Thursday and finalized a US$20 billion currency swap line with Argentina’s central bank, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a social media post, a rare move aimed at stabilizing turbulent financial markets in the cash-strapped Latin American ally.
46·6 days agoTo be fair, he was quite outspoken and plans to continue teaching. It’s one thing to be brave without dependents, but he’s a New Jersey, public university professor with a family on a hit list. Reminder that the murderer of state Rep. Melissa Hortman also killed her husband and attempted to kill state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife. Hiring 24/7 security would take a large chunk out of his salary, and its very difficult to get a concealed carry license in NJ.

Among early Zionists it was common to label communicative efforts propaganda. Theodor Herzl used the term at the 3rd Zionist Congress in 1899, where he asked fellow Zionists in the audience “to engage in propaganda”. At the time the term “propaganda” was considered neutral. The term is now pejorative. “Propaganda” is now typically used for official government statements or by critics of pro-Israeli advocacy groups to portray the communication as misleading and manipulative.

I don’t get it. Who is grinding oyster shells for cooking and why?
That’s a wildly imaginative premise that caught my attention.
Be sure to fact check before putting people on blast and ruining their reputation.
The following comedians were openly critical of those who took the gig. These comedians DID NOT go. Okatsuka specifically revealed the details of the contract these comedians had to sign. Woods made a scathing video that went viral criticizing the lineup.

Yeah, these old school award shows feel largely out of touch and in dire need of reimagining. In more normal times, I would have bet on investment in reworking the brand, which I hope is still happening behind the scenes. But with DEI, Black culture and history under direct attack now, it’s not looking good in the near future. On the upside, Black culture is less niche and in need of a separate award show in many ways. It punches way above its weight class with prominence as an economic engine with broad global influence. Something better will come along as creativity is often strengthened by resistance and hardship, and corporatization and money is often the death of it.

72·11 days agoMatrix or Jitsi with Lemmy or any popular forum software would be my suggestion. More secure and private but require some technical knowledge.
91·11 days agoJust checked and I think it’s filming as we speak. It’s not slated for release until 2027.

Don’t think there are many left in the middle going about their day like nothing is wrong. Red regions like what is happening, and blue regions are torn between don’t take the bait and can’t sit around doing nothing. Those who don’t like what’s happening are kind of screwed no matter what they do. There are no good options when MAGA has seized so much power and Dems are responding so meekly.
