Over the years i have settled on zotero with th webdav backup to a self-hosted nextcloud server. Works great. Recently i started using the bookmark manager Hoarder and save articles i find there until i read them. My workflow is

• get google scholar alerts sent to RSS feed (locally hosted freshrss)
• save articles in Hoarder that i intend to read
• when i have time, read articles in Hoarder, add the citation to zotero, take notes in Obsidian on the article and link it to the zotero item using the Zotero plugin, and then also move the article to a ‘already read’ list in Hoarder.

Kinda complicated but it’s been working!

Probably not helpful to be this divisive with your anti trump allies. Whether in your eyes the abstention voters made a mistake or not, we’re going to need all the solidarity we can get to oppose/survive this administration

2 years out and still working on this in therapy

Does anyone else just shuffle them around every few months to a new place, just to feel productive? I had them in a bookmarks folder for a while, then saved in a desktop folder, and just last week i consolidated them in a LinkWarden repo

The democratic party establishment failed us in this last election and the wound is raw. OP’s post demonstrates further actions of the democrat leaders that are maligned with a just and livable world, and it feels like rubbing dirt in that wound. I think it’s pretty expected to see these ‘fuck democrat’ comments in response to this

This is a really interesting part of the Red Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson

I mean, this is semantic. People have been treated as property. Just like land has been treated as property. Is it right? Fuck no. Let’s build a world where this is not true, but right now and historically it is

We have very little say in how our government works. Over the course of US history the material decisions have been whisked away to less democratic structures (eg the supreme court, the federal reserve). Even early on the democracy was built for property owners (owners of people and land). People are feeling disenfranchised and the vote for trump is a (petulant) vote to flip the gameboard. Of course voting for trump is one of the worst things you can do if you want you and your community’s lives to improve, but the fundamental motivation is disenfranchisement and anger

I mean, in the US, the archetype of progressive policy success, the New Deal, was only possible because of labor militancy and the threat of systemic collapse. That should give an idea

“Property owners” covers both and is more concise

This mobile app is not associated with the current open source project. Like i think it’s a vestige from before they went open source. They recommend using actual in your mobile browser for now, which works decently well

Where meme

He was gonna say he fed the fries to a house sparrow and the guy waiting around the corner was going to harass him for feeding an invasive species. I guess the joke is that the author sees humans as the most invasive species (which, as an aside, is a bad take when you think about indigenous peoples of our species)

Lol this guy thinks democrats are leftists

Yeah, i agree that there are some really tough contradictions there, and the material result definitely looks like accelerationism.

Thanks for reading it!

I think it’s worth platforming this particular indigenous perspective outlined in Voting is Not Harm Reduction. Not expounding the point but rather bringing a concertedly marginalized voice into the conversation. https://www.indigenousaction.org/voting-is-not-harm-reduction-an-indigenous-perspective/

Sweet! Does it sync to mobile? I’m on ios, and haven’t looked into syncthing

I have been using obsidian for the past few months and i really enjoy it. It’s not open source, but you can self-host a not syncing service called Obsidian LiveSync that I use to sync between my computers and phone

Literally did this this morning and now searx is the default search engine on all my devices. Works great so far

This is funny and also begets some serious questions about who we are seizing the means of reproduction from and why they were seized in the first place. Silvia Federici offers some answers in her book Caliban and the Witch
