The #petrodollar is one of those crimes so large people stop seeing it.

Like #colonialism.

Like slavery.

Like sanctions.

The world has been trained to think it is normal that if two non-American countries trade a non-American resource, they should still kneel before the #American #dollar first.

Why?

Why should a barrel from the Gulf salute Washington before it reaches Hanoi, Delhi, Beijing, or Johannesburg?

It should not.

It only does because empire has spent decades disciplining the imagination of the planet.

So the situation on the Strait currently is:
- The U.S. cannot stop the Iranians mining it
- It would take the U.S. months to clear after it’s mined
- The U.S. cannot safely provide escorts while there is a credible risk from missiles and drones
- The U.S. cannot eliminate the threat of missiles and drones without a ground invasion
- No amount of bombing will bring Iran any closer to a democratic revolution

My new preferred thing to do is to go through these lists to find the awesome instances the snowflake admins from places like Mastodon.Social don't want us to know.
Funny how every site that lists instances to join are censored crap

@shortstories I don't know 😂 .
But, I'm already seeing comments on the original post from people saying the survey is feminist trash pushing "toxic masculinity" propaganda. So, I may be naive in expecting good news from Canada concerning Men's health

GREAT news coming out of Canada! The Government of Canada is working to develop a Men and Boys' Health Strategy!

Your voice is important. They’re asking Canadians to fill out this questionnaire by June 1, 2026. Yay!

Finally, found the desktop environment that allows easy switching of VPN and that is , amazingly.
Oh wait, I think does it too. Come on , what are you waiting for?

Funny how Wireguard VPN on is still crappily implemented... At least for noobs like me. Maybe system admins have a different opinion

## Stop forcing Wayland on us 🤦‍♂️

"Imagine a software project that's been 15 years into making. A project that, after all this time, is still rather beta in quality. A project that can only do a portion of what its predecessor technology could and can do, and yet it is hailed as a "modern replacement". A project that no one really wants to use, as it's cumbersome, it breaks a lot of things, and doesn't do what it ought to. A project that is now being forced onto the users through arbitrary decisions, because it's the only way it could ever possibly be adopted. You would think this is something coming from a greedy big corpo like Apple or Google or Microsoft. Nope, it's the open-source "darling" Wayland."
