Hey it’s a tough world out there. It’s getting harder and harder to identify fake images, which is why I wanted to explain some of the telltale signs that it is real.

I also have a number of friends who are very outspoken in the Iranian-American community. There are a lot of bad actors out there who are trying to discredit their entire movement because Trump happens to be president. Who else are they supposed to appeal to for an international intervention? They just want to rescue their families.

Zion is mentioned 152 times in the Hebrew Bible, a 3000 year old book. Unless you are also suggesting he is a time traveler?

It’s not a new idea. Read what I wrote above.

You’re right that many people were skeptical of his utopian view of multicultural harmony.

Nope. This map, according to the article it comes from, is constructed (incorrectly) based on a biblical reference (Gen 15:18). Herzl references it in his diary as part of a conversation brought up by someone else.

Herzl himself famously refused to define such borders.

This is abject nonsense bordering on misinformation. Herzl quite famously envisioned a future state in which Jews, Arabs, and others lived in harmony and mutual benefit.

Herzl is also not the founder of Zionism, a 3000 year old concept, but of the particular European branch of Modern Political Zionism.

Depending your needs.

If it is a static calendar, they can export an ics file that you can use in any calendar app.

If you need to be able to see updates, and if there is nothing particularly private, they can make it a public calendar.

Otherwise, you may need to make a Google account.

I’ve also had pretty good testing with One Calendar, but in general I prefer open source apps unless the proprietary app offers unique benefits.

I do wish they would spin off the Calendar into a standalone app, but they haven’t shown any interest in moving that direction. I use it for email anyway so I don’t mind.

There is an inherent cost to internet freedom from using chromium browsers. It gives Google, which controls the back-end, leverage to redefine how the internet works. It’s not as though they haven’t already done it on multiple occasions.

People will say things like “some websites run better on Chrome” as though that’s a selling point and not a red flag.

I’m not saying no one should use it or develop on it, but you have to be okay with the real cost.

Shame, it was a great project. Guess I’ll be migrating to calibre-web automated.

Looks promising. Thunderbird works great for me for now. There are increasingly good solutions for mobile as well.

I occasionally post reviews/reactions here in this community. It’s a nice way to get my thoughts out and also engage with others.

At this point I feel as invested as Calvin in the saga of the beanie motor.

Nothing wrong with wanting to be a housewife.

Also, most people find their career ambition later into adulthood. Not sure your age but allow yourself the freedom to have different wants in the future.

Meanwhile people out here hosting websites on disposable vapes.

Well, it’s a graph showing the bottom 50% of OF accounts. The horizontal axis is the monthly earnings in USD, and the vertical axis shows the frequency of people earning earning that amount.

Context is that it is a sampling of OnlyFans accounts.

You can see that the median OF creator is earning under $200 /month and the modal creator is earning $0 per month.

Also, it’s a huge myth (marketing lie) that the average OF model is making any appreciable money.

Support for the Iranian people against a regime they’ve been trying to get rid of for decades.

That’s been a problem with the platform for a couple years. It goes something like this: Video hosting is expensive, and moderating video is complicated. So most instances don’t allow open registration and posting.

When you have a video platform without anyone allowed to post videos… Well, it’s not gonna be good.

The only videos that could get posted were from people with an established audience on another platform like YouTube, or else someone passionate enough to run their own server (which requires lots of time, money, and technical know-how).

For a creator who already has an audience, there is absolutely no incentive to jump to federation. It’s more effort for a smaller audience on a less reliable platform. So of course it’s all Veronica explains Linux because that is the only kind of creator who would have an ideological interest of doing it despite the disincentives.

Or else it’s not a knowledgeable and capable creator, but someone with just a lot of time, money, and passion. Do you read a lot of self-published books? Not too many Pulitzers in there. There is a reason you can count on one hand the number of self produced films that are actually good.

Creativity requires openness and freedom. Peertube has been (ironically) one of the most closed video platforms on the internet. For new creators, it’s been impossible to get on and just experiment. That means no innovation, which translates to no good content.

From a cursory look, that seems to be changing. There are now a few instances like that appear to be stable and have open, moderated registration. If that continues, we will begin to see more variety of quality content.

I gotta admit, PeerTube is really beginning to stabilize into a platform I’d consider using. Imma have to take another look when I have to time.

They have to be reflective lenses, dummy.
