Damn, I hadn’t heard about this. Is Molly dead? Does anyone know what’s going on with it?

Edit: seems like they’re having some issues and there might he an update coming today.

Anyone know if using Molly (the Signal fork) would be sufficient protection from this?

NATO expansion against Russia’s borders has been one of their red lines for over 40 years at this point. The West knew exactly how Russia would respond, and pushed Ukraine to join deliberately. This is a proxy war, and one the West appears to be tiring of; eventually they will lose interest altogether and Ukraine will be forced to surrender.

Would’ve been way cooler if she was.

Gavin said to vote no, so they all did what they were told.

They’ve got some dipshit liberals in the rest of the country cheering for his damn tweets, convinced he’s their champion against Trump. The DNC will torpedo anyone else’s campaign to make way for their little princeling. The actual message doesn’t really matter.

He also violated his own damn mask mandate during the early days of the pandemic, platformed nazis on his podcast, and has had two strikes by his own workforce during his time as governor.

Boycotting does help. The average Westerner (apologies if I’m incorrect in assuming you’re in the West) dismisses the impact of BDS to absolve their conscience of their inaction. They will come up with any excuse to avoid forgoing their treats.

Slap a thermal pad and a heatsink on that NVME and you should be fine, provided the rest of the case isn’t overheating.

I’d much rather give my data to a Chinese company than a USian one.

I was hoping for something cheaper, but with the price of everything these days I can’t say I’m surprised. I’ll probably start saving up while I wait for more news.

I don’t even know that we can take it for granted that the phone will work with all carriers in the US. We’ve got some basic specs and that’s literally it so far.

You’re assuming that Democrats want to win, and I’m not convinced that they do.

This week, we honor the victims of socialism and communism

I’m assuming he means Nazis.

They watched what happened to Bernie and learned absolutely nothing.

Typical lib conflating of working class with blue-collar (white-collar being the mythical “middle class”). I know Jacobin’s trash, but this is pretty bad even for them.

Yup, agreed. The ruling class seems content to keep shuffling IOUs around. If the bubble bursts, it’ll be because they want it to.

It won’t, but okay.

This may be the end of AIPAC specifically, but it is not the end of the Israel lobby. They’re simply getting better about laundering their donations in the name of optics now.

and the other shuffles around pedophiles.

That’s both of them, actually.

Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists, Presbys, Pentacostals, which one are we referring to again? “Evangelical” is just a grouping of protestant religions that have many differences despite their commonalities.

Half of these differences are in church organizational structure and the other half are in theological disagreements so irrelevant and obscure that your average church-goer would struggle to articulate the differences. “Evangelical” (as opposed to “mainline”) is a useful grouping because it includes denominations that are inclined towards proselytism, and that generally informs their politics. People often shuffle between different evangelical denominations/churches as well, so the borders between them are not as clearly defined as one might think.

Do we have any idea how this will affect frontends like Redlib?
