For recommendations on how best to organize:

  1. Joining and organizing within your local community to create connections with others is incredibly powerful, and will lay the groundwork for effective resistance.
  2. We can effect things drastically with a general strike. This would massively impact their income streams, and can bring a fascist government to its knees if done on a large enough scale.
  3. Join the IWW and attempt to unionize your workplace, so that the general strike is even more effective (plus you'll get better pay and benefits!)

If we put in the work, we can resist this and we can win. Join up with allies while we still can easily!

I'll grant you that language is potentially a dogwhistle, but on their blog, they post about Earth day and Sustainability, which is currently vilified by MAGA.

If I had to guess, their marketing team is trying to play both sides.

Without more clear evidence of their politics, I'll probably continue to recommend them if they get people to stick with saving water, as ultimately that's the opposite of what Trump's policies are trying to do.

As someone who dislikes traditional low flow heads that tend to icepick you with little streams, I highly recommend high sierra showerheads. I don't know how they pull it off, but it absolutely blasts you with water while still being low flow. Like I prefer it to any other shower head I've tried, low flow or not.

They make one with an adjustable valve that let's you dial in the perfect amount of flow too.

There's also Liberapay, based in France, which takes no cut of a subscription (they rely on donations).

It also runs like crap without fairly beefy hardware.

For those who may already own Skyrim, I'd recommend waiting for the release of the Skyblivion mod later this year, which recreates oblivion in the Skyrim engine, and will be completely free.

I would not have been able to convert my family to become vegetarians without the help of plant meats, as it allows them to continue cooking all their favorite recipes from childhood onward that are meat based, which is incredibly important to them.

I think you underestimate how useful of a tool plant meats are in converting people. In my experience it is far easier for people to switch to a plant meat than it is to convince them to abandon a significant portion of the diet they grew up with, especially if their recipes are deep rooted and cultural.

It's something I'm extremely grateful to have in my tool belt. And in the case of Quorn, it's not even a highly processed thing, it's just a high protein, low carb fungus that they found naturally grew into a meaty texture, and easily absorbs vegan stocks to taste like anything.

I adore this, absolutely embroidered patch worthy!

We really don't need lab grown stuff when the meat alternatives on the market now are already so good

If you haven't tried any yet, I highly recommend Impossible meat, it's virtually indistinguishable from the real thing. Quorn is another great option.

And on a budget, Seitan is also fantastic.

Didn't centos users switch to Rocky or Alma?

even with wine/yabridge getting paid ones with licence protection running is a mess.

Honestly, because I'm not a fan of intrusive DRM anyway, I say Yarr, matey 🏴‍☠️

I know that's not a solution for some, but until there's more Linux native VST's, it's a viable path for those willing to take it.

The farmers themselves could've taken that initiative, too.

50501 SoCal is hosting an event this coming Monday, February 17th at 12pm. Right in the heart of the NoHo Arts District we'll be gathering to march through the streets! Afterward, we'll have food trucks providing on-the-scene grub, a letter writing station, and yard games; so bring the kids, bring the sneakers, and bring your voice!

If you can't make it but want to support us in our mission, please consider sending a buck or two our way on GoFundMe.

AMÉRICA NO TIENE REYES 17 FEB, 12 PM DISTRITO ARTÍSTICO NOHO LOS ÁNGELES, CA REÚNETE EN EL CENTRO DE RECREACIÓN NOHO @ 11430 CHANDLER BLVD. UNÍTE POR LA LIBERTAD 50 ESTADOS. 50 PROTESTAS. 1 MOVIMIENTO www.fiftyfifty.one

 
 

Noticed this in my distro's repo today (fedora) and figured I'd bring some attention to it. Asesprite is the premier pixel art tool, so it's awesome to see someone keeping the FOSS version alive!

Also available on flathub.

There's also a great book from NoStarchPress made for Asesprite, and assumes absolutely no previous artistic knowledge!

 

As always, another absolute banger from Rollie.
