It is, but diplomacy refers to disputes between peoples. Politics refers to disputes within a people.

I didn’t say anything about pacifism, but I also disagree with your proposition equating violence and politics. Violence is a breakdown of politics. Politics, almost definitionally, is how a people settle disputes without violence.

Politics is how how decisions are made in groups. If one person or group is forcing their will upon others, then no decision or compromise between the parties can be said to have been made freely. And therefore it cannot be truthfully described as following a political process.

I will engage with you in the context of your original proposition but I will not engage with Gish Galloping.

That is a very machivellian attitude. I don’t believe that hurting people who aren’t a threat in the name of “progress” is justified, even if it were somehow a shortcut to utopia, which it’s not.

Eh, anyone who knows what “Install an add-on from a repo” means also knows how to install firefox despite it being “censored”.

Maybe referring to china’s treatment of minorities? Though usually when people say “extreme left” they are referring to scary groups like public transit advocates.

That list doesn’t work anymore. UBO throws a network error.

There is this list, which is not the same one from BPC but has been recommended to me before.

On Android it’s easier to just use the version in the Firefox add-on store:

Bin Laden was “from” within the borders of the Saudi Arabian (Sunni) state but he was a Shiite pan-islamist and a lot of Al Quaeda’s support came from Iran, a major enemy of Saudi Arabia.

This is just to say it’s much more complicated than “Saudis did 9/11”, and maps like this grossly oversimplify things when they put Arab peoples into the types of cultural boxes westerners are used to seeing. It doesn’t apply here.

It’s not that hard. The easiest way to start is probably get qBittorrent, which has built-in search of several major torrent sites at once.

Agreed I do pretty much the same.

I’m not sure what you’re asking exactly, but the reason older and niche content is harder/slower to find sometimes is because there are fewer people out there sharing (“seeding”) the files.

You could probably install a home server management software like TrueNAS Homearr or CasaOS on your Pi and just download the “apps” that way.

The large files are such better quality, though (if you care about such things and have a TV that allows you to appreciate the extra detail).

Torrenting will have everything you want within 48hrs (at the longest) as long as your tastes are relatively current and mainstream. If you are into older or more niche content you’ll still likely need Criterion or Canopy etc.

I don’t know why nobody has mentioned Anytype, which is excellent and just recently added collaboration.

How is this possibly an example of that? Can you explain why?

because there’s not enough space on one M.2 slot to fit two M.2 ssds

It’s not extremely uncommon for motherboards to put m.2 slots on the rear side these days, which opens up a lot of space.

A possible workaround: M.2 to PCIE adapters are pretty common. I could use one of those combined with a PCIE to multiple M.2. But this feels hacky and I don’t love it.

I would love a radarr/sonarr style app but for YouTube with sponsorblock built in.

edit: sorry I missed where you said desktop app
