I'm not sure whats worse at this point progressives or communists.. how much overlap does that venn diagram even have.
the irony is I used to be very liberal and progressive but not like this. I think I've mostly come to reject those labels lately just so I dont get associated with people like this.

So juche! Very marxism!

(now she's on Android BTW, class struggle aggravates!)
Try Winograd captcha, it's pretty effective and actually quite entertaining for the user. I have an implementation for Django but not yet published, general Python code is public domain

Nothing burns out maintainers faster than entitled users being a thorn in their sides. Remember, the maintainers have volunteered their time - their most precious currency - to give you something cool, for free. You're not entitled to anything else.
Please don't be That Guy. I work hard to keep That Guy away from contributors and co-maintainers on my projects, because I've found that exposure to That Guy will quickly burn out my friends and lose contributors.
The whole point of AppImage was to easily deliver and run an application with complex dependencies. I don't think it ever aspired to provide increased security.
FlatPak and Snapcraft do but as result they come with steeper learning curve and things don't "just work" due to the confinement so you have invest extra time to solve problems.

AppImage not only has no sandboxing but also does some rather dangerous operations (mounts, scripts ran) when the binary is started. And it comes with zero integrity assurance because it's essentially a large executable binary that you download and run, without any digital signatures.
At the same time Patchwork is also available as a Snap, which comes with pretty strict sandboxing, digitally signed package and automated updates.

Regarding "Planet of the Humans" by Gibbs and Moore.
Just read this rant against the film https://pvbuzz.com/planet-of-the-humans/ for example.
It's actually quite ironic (in a sad way) to see how wind and solar fans are now fiercely defending from *exactly* the same FUD they've been using to attack nuclear for decades.
And these PVBuzz guys have been doing it too https://pvbuzz.com/solar-energy-or-nuclear-power/
How does it feel to get the taste of your own medicine? "Worst-case scenarios" or "outdated technology", anyone?
😂
There was someone from China here a few months ago who was saying the same: when you go to doctor, you'll get regular medicine and TCM herbal pills, everyone just throws the latter away but the business must work...
As if it was not enough...
Chinese National Health Commission and the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine officially recommends bear bile as cure for... severe cases of COVID-19
Thanks, Mastodon film recommendations always checked!

You can save your time and watch "The Plagues of Breslau" instead (also on Netflix and I guess all the *other* sources too :)

Bertrand Russell Remembers His Face-to-Face Encounter with Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

@butterfly I will be 100% honest: the film is quite dumb and there's no philosophy in it except for tons of blood and dead bodies. But the operator's job is fantastic!
Wow, the team filming "Extraction" (2020), that's something awesome! A bit like Hardcore Henry (2015) but more totally crazy shots god-knows-from-where!
The UK was about to start regulating Facebook. So #facebook hired the guy writing the regulations.
"Facebook wants regulation that isn’t going to adversely affect their profits too much, so it’s in their interest to recruit people with inside knowledge."
