The recent doxing of a Proud Boy school board candidate by the Midwest Youth Liberation Front highlights the work being done by teenage antifascists.
Fellas, is it woke for YouTube to funnel viewers towards pro-fascist videos?
It's worth bumping the priority up. I'm usually not that big on slice of life, but Machikado Mazoku is great.
Personally, I’ve yet to see a single American successfully use guns to protect any other constitutional right from government infringement.
The Battle of Athens is probably the most uniquely clear-cut example of what you're asking for, unless we count the American Revolutionary War itself.
Other successful examples mostly involve activists using non-violent protest to push for change, while using firearms to protect themselves from violent reactionaries that would otherwise murder them. Notably, the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s. For a modern example, there's various "John Brown Gun Clubs" and other community defense organizations providing security at LGBTQ events against fascist groups that seek to terrorize event-goers.
It's also worth noting that resistance is often worthwhile even if it doesn't result in unqualified victory. For example, the Black Panthers' armed cop-watching activities saved a lot of Black folks from brutal beatings at the hands of the police, even if the organization was eventually crushed by the federal government.
I have seen lots of examples like Waco and Ruby Ridge, where the government should have tried harder to deescalate, but in the end, everyone died. The closest example I can think of where the government did backoff was the Bundy standoff and all those guys were “defending” was their ability to let their cattle graze illegally on federal land because they didn’t want to pay for access like everyone else.
It sounds like you might be in a bit of a filter-bubble. I don't mean any offense by this, it's a normal thing that tends to happen to people. If the news sources you read and the people you talk to don't mention these things because it doesn't mesh with their worldview, how would you hear about them?
Strong gun control requires a police state, and it's advocates are okay with this. Some of them (mostly suburbanites and the like) just imagine that that police state will never be directed against them.
Others are capitalists that actively want to inflict a police state on the rest of us, for their own benefit. It's a lot easier to break strikes and enforce "work discipline" when the working class is disarmed.

Are there any physical obstructions between the controller and the antenna? That'd reduce the effective range.
I think it's actually a pretty old term. Definitely useful for the internet era though, now that we end up coming into contact with many more "interesting" characters than in the old days. xD
Possibly. I've seen comments from them here and there in various places, but it's true that I haven't had the responsibility of moderating them like you have.
HardlightCereal seemed more like a crank than a troll, to me. Cranks are by definition at least somewhat annoying, and tend to get mistaken for and treated as trolls. They're not malicious the way trolls are though, and can be a positive influence. I think them drawing attention to this particular issue was a good thing, at least.
Ancaps: Government is bad because tyranny, we should get rid of it.
Also Ancaps: Here's how we can still enforce copyright, abortion bans, and racial segregation without a government! 🥰
Yeah, I laughed at that bit. Big "I am not a member of the National Socialist German Worker's Party" energy.

Looks like this fix for nimsuggest didn't make it in though, so I'm still on devel for now.

I love these memes that turn into threads full of vim tips. You really can do anything within vim. You can even exit vim!: !killall vim
Huh, I'm going to have to try that at some point. It's even got nim support.
Oh wow, I guess it doesn't take too much. I copied your survey post over to r/nim with a "cross-posted from nim@programming.dev" link, and also invited the author of Enu to post here. I'll keep at it.
Alright, not a bad idea.
I imagine they'd also want to have something you can click that shows how many votes were local, how many were from other instances, how many were blocked, etc.
Actually, that would be really cool and worth doing regardless. Have a voting statistics view for each post where upvotes and downvotes are broken down per instance, and maybe by other criteria too. @ernest

I haven't been working on my nim project lately, so I haven't had much to say. I've been missing using the language, though.
I resubscribed to r/nim on reddit just now, so if I see anything particularly interesting there I'll cross-post it.
Might be interesting to have per-instance weighted voting. So local votes would count as 1x, votes from other instances could count as 0.5x, and votes from that one instance that has a lot of vote brigading would count as 0x. Would be useful for smaller, specialized instances that tend to get harassed by outsiders.

Why is ani.social defederated?
ani.social [Announcement] Lemmy.World and lemmy.dbzer0.com has defederated from ani.social - AniSocial
To anyone who is not familiar with the situation, please read our previous post [https://ani.social/post/863176] for context. Please do not say anything hateful toward the concerned instances’ admins. — ## What happened? A few hours ago, Lemmy.World and lemmy.dbzer0.com has defederated from ani.soci...
EDIT: Looks like the defederation has been reversed. @db0 Thank you for looking into this quickly.
A commenter in the linked post is suggesting that dbzer0 automatically follows lemmy.world's block list. That seems like kind of a bad idea? In this instance it seems like the LW admins are just following the decision of lemmy.ml's tankie admins, and tankies gonna tank.
Why did lemmy.world defederate from ani.social?
EDIT: As noted in the linked post, the defederation was a mistake and has been reversed. Thank you to the lemmy.world admins for reviewing this quickly.
I'm not a lemmy.world user, so I'm not directly affected by this defederation. I am a fan of both anime and the fediverse in general though, so I'm concerned about an apparent crackdown on my hobby and by what seems to be an increasingly damaging flaw in the fediverse model.
A few days ago. lemmy.ml defederated from ani.social, a lemmy instance specialized in anime. The only explanation given by Dessalines (lead dev of lemmy, owner of lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml) was that it was "full of CSAM". As far as anyone who's commented can tell, there doesn't seem to be any evidence of this whatsoever (see post link for an overview of the discussions). The only CSAM here appears to be in Dessalines' head.
That defederation was annoying, but not all that surprising. Dessalines and his fellow lead dev Nutomic are [tankies](https://en.wiki

Anyone used Open Tax Solver to do your taxes? (US)
I'd been vaguely aware of campaigns by tax-prep companies to stop the IRS from offering its own tax-prep software. I was going over some of my old tax info today, and started to wonder if there were any open source tax-prep programs.
What I found was Open Tax Solver. I get the impression that it's more clunky that using commercial tax-prep. Does anyone here have firsthand experience with it?

Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria / The Empty Box and Zeroth Maria
This is the only Japanese LN that I've read, I'm otherwise mainly a manga reader. It kept popping up in my recommendations on MyAnimeList, and I was intrigued by the synopsis with the presence of the "romance" tag:
Kazuki Hoshino values his everyday life above all else. He spends the days carefree with his friends at school, until the uneventful bliss suddenly comes to a halt with the transfer of the aloof beauty Aya Otonashi into his class and her cold, dramatic statement to him immediately upon arrival:
"I'm here to break you. This is the 13,118th time I've transferred. After so many occasions, I have to say that this is all starting to grate on me, which is why this time I'm spicing things up with a proper declaration of war."
And with those puzzling words, the ordinary days that Kazuki loved so dearly become a cycle of turmoil and fear—Aya's sudden appearance signals the unraveling of unseen mysteries surrounding Kazuki's seemingly normal friends, including t
Who are the current admins of kbin.social? /m/fediverse needs moderators
There's currently a spam "buy adderall" post on /m/fediverse that's been up for 16 hours now. The magazine has no moderators other than Ernest.
I also remember hearing at some point that kbin.social was being run by some other admins so that Ernest could focus on code, but I don't know who they are. Does anyone else know who we should be pinging for issues like this?
One additional question, is there an issue tracker for problems/requests that are specific to kbin.social, rather than the kbin codebase? It doesn't make sense to fill up the issue tracker on codeberg with "this magazine needs moderators" requests and the like, but we do need somewhere to keep track.
Nim Programming Language
This got created on programming.dev about 2 weeks ago, but hasn't had much activity yet. Not too surprising as Nim is a relatively new language. It's super cool and you should check it out, though. It's a compiled language with performance similar to C/C++, but is much more pleasant to work in. Some tend to liken it to working with Python.
