I just read the excellent book "The Underground Economy: Why Legalization is the Answer" by Andy Reven and realized that
freedom is essential because it allows individuals to express themselves, pursue their own happiness, and live according to their values. Tyranny, on the other hand, stifles creativity, restricts personal rights, and concentrates power in the hands of a few, leading to oppression.

@shortstories @djsumdog If you want to learn programming stuff, you can ask pretty much anyone around here.
I don't recommend starting with js because it necessarily leads to web, because any time you have the option to use any other language, you should take it; The only time you don't have that option is when trying to run code in someone else's web browser.
I actually don't recommend starting with python either just because it will fuck you quietly in certain specific areas unless you know C; though those areas are relatively quick to explain.
Everyone has strong opinions on every language. Bash is probably the most immediately useful.

@shortstories @djsumdog They are, motherfuckers need package management, but that's really not what I'm talking about. It's a completely different scenario.

Why does Arch Wiki, a public open source documentation system, not want a crawler to index their site? People can scream AI all they want, but the admins are also destroying any new attempts to break into the search engine market. Do they think Google/Bing/Yandex don't already get past this, or do their servers return different results for the big search bots?

People use to be able to view Arch wiki without Javascript. Now they can't. 😡

Cherry Smiley, from the Nlaka’pamux (Thompson) and Diné (Navajo) Nations Indigenous Scholar Debunks “Two Spirit” Gender Concept As Colonial Fabrication

https://www.newwesttimes.com/news/indigenous-scholar-debunks-two-spirit-gender-concept-as-colonial-fabrication/article_68ac36aa-eb92-11ee-be40-633a3a11ae1b.html

"Speaking to a packed “Feminists Speak Out” event in Burnaby last week, Canadian indigenous scholar and author Cherry Smiley, Ph.D., debunked the uncritically accepted “two spirit” gender jargon as a colonial fabrication having no basis in First Nations culture.

Smiley told the audience of two hundred that her research found that the “two spirit” expression was coined in 1990 by American indigenous gay rights activists to describe someone who is both gay and indigenous.

Transgender dogma upends the feminist position that women have been oppressed by men by positing that men can also be women.

“Women are f---king pissed off,” said a blunt and sometimes comical Smiley, who is from the Nlaka’pamux and Diné Nations.

Smiley, author of Not Sacred Not Squaws: Indigenous Feminism Redefined, was displeased that transgender activists have hijacked indigenous culture by claiming that the concept of “two or even three or four genders” is echoed in and validated by First Nations beliefs.

“First Nations women know where babies come from,” said Smiley to laughter and applause, underscoring her view that biological sex, not "gender," defines the indigenous worldview on male/female relationships.

Smiley elaborated, saying the idea of sharply divided sex roles, and the nebulous “gender” concepts that supposedly flow from those roles, were not rooted in traditional indigenous life.

Smiley painted a picture of indigenous women being required to be skilled in activities normally ascribed to men, such as hunting, out of the visceral motivation of survival. As such, Smiley contended, the idea of fluid or manifold genders was a colonial invention of “white men.”

The elites encourage the 99% to be immoral, but anyone who dares to criticize the ruling class is attacked for being immoral.

Just thinking: Never forget the #1 misandrists are males.

Men have a vested interest in the downfall of other men.

Gynocentrism feeds on male in-group violence.

"On Wednesday the Texas State House passed HB 366, which would make it a legal requirement for digitally altered media to be labeled such if it is used by a candidate or campaign group that spends over $100 on political advertising.

The legislation was angrily condemned by state Representative Shelley Luther, a Republican, who said, "We're banning political memes and giving people up to a year in jail for failing to attach a disclosure to a cartoon."
