I am going to be very condescending and patronizing today.
Second, these restrictions don’t apply to any third-party app stores for Android that utilize the operating system’s purpose-built API for installing apps. In fact, Android 15’s restrictions on sideloaded apps are merely an expansion of a security change introduced in a previous version, a change that has not materially impacted third-party app stores and can still be manually disabled by the user.
F-Droid should be unaffected, so this doesn't sound terrible TBH. Still hate Google though.
I beat Mechanicus early in the weekend. I started playing Tactical Breach Wizards. Very fun game.

I thought PSL ran Gloria Le Riva last presidential election?
Repeat x1000 because there's a lot of traffic, so you'll be on your way for awhile.
Their neoliberal comm is a ghost town. The last post was a year ago, there's only one page of posts, and all the posts are by the comm's mod. Very few comments too.
I'm surprised Steve-O didn't die years ago due to some horrific yet hilarious stunt.
This is almost as dumb as the tariffs on Chinese solar panels and electric cars from earlier in the year.
Unlimited assassination on Trump!
In 8th grade my social studies teacher showed The Notebook to the class to help teach us about WWII. The movie had less than 5 minutes of content about the war; the rest was only tangentially related at best because it was set in that time period.
Counterintuitively: falling down the alt-right pipeline. I could never bring myself to fully agree with it and was "deprogrammed" by (and I really hate to say it) 
. I was a ite for awhile and even (also to my current regret) voted for Jim Crowe Joe in the 2020 election. However, my ism also led me to finding out tankies existed. Like many ites, I mocked and sneered and resisted them at first. However, I like to think of myself as somewhat intellectually honest, and my confrontations with them led me to reading and finding out they were right.
Before long I was a frequenter of r/genzedong (I didn't use reddit at the time chapo was the specter haunting reddit and only heard of the sub from genzedongers after it had been banned for awhile). I migrated to Lemmy when genzedong got quarantined for fighting against liberal disinformation regarding Russia's liberation of Ukraine in early 2022.
Now that it's mentioned, "Generation Z" does sound like it would be the name of a late 2000s/early 2010s zombie movie trying to cash in on the big zombie fad at the time.
I recall he made a video during the lead up to the 2020 election where he took Marx and Lenin quotes out of context to make it sound like they support voting for Biden.
This one instance already represents 41% of all active Lemmy users which is too much. We should stop sending more users to lemmy.world to avoid further centralization. In practice this may not have...
Granted, its to prevent overcentralization of Lemmy and not related to their shit takes, but still !sicko-laser

Just a disclaimer that while I'm sure some of these books have redeeming qualities, this video is just meant to reflect the way I've seen historians online reacting to them. Haven't read them all myself and I'm not a historian, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. (Except when it comes to The M...
I keep hearing from people in my life that spirituality is an essential part of living a meaningful existence. I hear the phrase "let go and let God" and "everything happens for a reason" used a lot as advice and comfort. However, I'm an atheist and a materialist. I don't know how I could even be spiritual with those beliefs. At the same time, my life is not fulfilling despite the fact that I am not struggling financially. Moreover, I feel paralyzed when I try to get off my privileged ass and do even the bare minimum for socialist organizing because I realize that it goes directly against my labor aristocratic class interests. I feel like knowing that sticking my neck out and contributing to the real movement to change the present state of things is the morally correct thing to do isn't enough to drive me.
In short, what is spirituality? Is it compatible with materialism? If so, how? And if spirituality is the wrong tree to bark up, how can I drive myself to do what is to be done?
