“You will be more conservative as you grow older” in c/[email protected]

In the mid 20th-century, people reliably got more petty bourgeois as they got older.

Ok but socdem. And before you try to make a counter argument with [insert nordic country that is actually capitalist] just think about how they always call the ussr and china communist while they arent.

What are you trying to say?

That's my point. It's all about doing self-interested things like mutual aid. Mutual defense is in my self-interest. A dairy co-operative is in the farmers' interest. Zebras move in herds because it is in their mutual self-interest.

The initial comment is saying communism is about self-sacrifice, against human nature. Kropotkin (I've read the book three times btw) convincing makes the case that it's the opposite of self-sacrifice: about pursuing our natural mutual interest according to our evolutionary imperatives. Kropotkin would say that ruthless competition is against our evolutionary nature and imperatives because it disadvantages survival.

the initial argument only applies to Utopian Socialism anyway – fighting for your personal interest is exactly the point of communism, destroying all the enemies of the working class

I want to be able to make my own Web 1.0 websites easily (lemmy.ml)

And I'd like to be able to do it privately too, that'd be cool.

Things I can do –

  • write HTML and CSS
  • register a domain and set up hosting
  • use Filezilla

Things I don't know how to do –

  • Create databases, I always had someone around to do that for me
  • Self-host
  • Set up an onion site 🧅
  • Set up an eepsite
  • Register a .bit domain

I am more of a content gal than a tech gal, but think of all the cool stuff I could create if I could spin up anonymous websites in a few hours.

Help doing a webrip from TG4 (wildvine DRM) (lemmy.ml)
 

Here's a TG4 link for example: https://www.tg4.ie/ga/player/catagoir/siamsaiocht/seinn/?pid=6339798682112

I found this guide – https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/404994-Decryption-and-the-Temple-of-Doom – that has an 'Edit January 2023' example for how to rip from TG4 Seinntóir/Player.

But I get different results. When I do this step...

2. MPD - describes the media and how to get it. Developer Tools (F12 in your browser) select Network tab and enter 'mpd' in the filter box. Then start the video. Copy the url. It will look similar to this, BUT DO NOT USE THIS ONE, get a fresh copy. as it carries a token, which needs to be fresh each use.

...it seems to be the mpd not of the television program, but of the 5-second video of the TG4 logo.

I'm not sure is there still a such a singular [video file URL]. In the "Developer Tools (F12 in your browser) select Network tab" I see lots and lots of 'segments' with .m4f extension coming from Brightcove. My mental model is that when the tutorial was written there was one file, now TG4 have gotten more cautious and split it up into tiny one-second segments. Is this hypothesis right? Is there a way to do Step 2 in https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/404994-Decryption-and-the-Temple-of-Doom ?

Some far-right activists and conspiracy theories are advocating against card-payments and for cash, and it's pissing me off (lemmy.ml)
 

It's discrediting valid concerns against card-payments. It's invalidating how great cash is.

It's when the worst person you know makes a good point.

And things now are so Culture-Wars-y, nobody makes solid analyses any more, that when the far-right say cards are bad, everybody jumps to thinking cards are good.
