Hexbear’s resident machinist, absentee mastodon landlord, jack of all trades
Talk to me about astronomy, photography, electronics, ham radio, programming, the means of production, and how we might expropriate them.>
With the introduction of Gnome Shell in 2011, the Gnome developers decided desktop icons were tacky and got rid of them. There are some extensions to bring them back, but the Gnome developers are just and righteous in their arbitrary design tyranny.
It’s technically sedition and if democrats wanted to they could arrest or kill them all, but they are cowards.
The echos of the Buchanan administration are palpable.
Update: I did it.

I didn’t come all this way for nothing.
For a relatively short game, it is incredible how much character development they manage to cram in there and how relatable it is. I think Mother 3 is the only other game that has tugged at my heartstrings like this.
I think they employ bot subscribers to boost their rank on service like Apple Podcasts (which many podcast apps use as a source for recommendations).
There are a combination of tools at play. I have seen videos of the Ansarallah (A.K.A. “The Houthis”) using conventional missiles against ships, as well as borderline-commercial UAVs to attack the port of Eliat rather early in the conflict (I believe these are produced by the Iranian military, but commercial clones have appeared through some Chinese vendors). They’ve also used more conventional boarding parties via helicopter and boat - with mixed results. Setting Yemen aside, commercial drones were instrumental in destroying the network of surveillance towers and machine gun nests surrounding Gaza on October 7th. They have also seen regular use by the resistance forces in Iraq and Syria to molest American military bases.
Even conventional military forces have begun to adopt commercial drones. Their use in the Ukraine-Russia war has skyrocketed, even though these forces have access to conventional military hardware (including UAVs).
The guy in the video is correct that a historical shift is taking place as far as armed conflict goes, but access to cheap UAVs alone is not sufficient to explain the strangle-hold Yemen has managed to place on international shipping, nor is it sufficient to recreate this disruption in a vacuum.
What makes the situation in the Red Sea unique is that the Ansarallah cannot be dislodged. The most recent civil war saw the Saudis attempt to do this. A country which does nothing but shit money, employing all the state of the art American military hardware money can buy for 10 years failed to do it. It is the combination of these two factors. The enormous leap in the capabilities of improvised munitions, combined with extreme difficulty in deterring a battle-hardened militant movement with nothing to lose.
The West has no leverage whatsoever in this situation, except the ability to make threats about launching an incredibly costly and bloody military expedition against one of the poorest countries in the world no chance for anything but a pyrrhic victory.
with similar functions to Google Podcasts?
Like what? Listening to podcasts? I use AntennaPod. Solid app. It is free software, available in F-Droid.

A few people have mentioned issues with federation over the past couple days, but we also did just emerge from a roughy 12 hour long outage.

Just about every single window manager improvement Windows has seen since Vista was introduced in Gnome first then later cribbed by Microsoft.
In response to a report, these particular chips are apparently vegan even though worcester sauce typically contains fish. Kind of a fake-o bac-o situation.

Today I saw wild iguanas, wild agutis, and an egret snatching a small lizard out of a bush.
