ok, i guess we understand each other and i won’t call every gender non-conforming person queer until further notice :) my original comment was a generalization. i have said stuff like “peertube is praxis” meaning that it’s a way to undermine the establishment. are all peertube instances communist? no! there are whole lot of reactionaries using peertube.

is this any different than “leftist” grifters? anyone can be a jerk. that doesn’t make the concept any worse. just because a trans person is bad doesn’t make being trans bad. but in majority being a trans person means that you have critically thought about yourself and came to a conclusion. this shows critical thinking. a person might blindly or critically be cis. but nobody is blindly trans.

before i get totally confused, can you give an example of what a reactionary trans person doing just enough looks like? because it’s getting too abstract for me.

i had said “being queer is praxis” and i meant all lgbtq+ people by that, i didn’t mean reactionary trans person. being against the cultural, social norms is praxis, to me. it agitates.

in some parts of the world, for example where i live, even trans people existing is too much for people.

ok then my original comment was not incorrect, because i meant to include every gender non-conforming person.

ok, i guess i got it all wrong. i can swear that i heard something along the lines of “queer used to be a slur, but we should take it back” in caelan conrad’s video. i couldn’t find it in the transcript, either i just misremembered or i just can’t find it. the correct term they use is “gender and sexual minorities”. so i guess i shouldn’t have generalized the term queer.

thanks.

is being trans not being queer? “Queer is an umbrella term for people who are not heterosexual or are not cisgender.”

i think fascists are as afraid of queer people as they are of socialists, if not more. being queer is praxis.

people are so naive, agin and again. if anyone thinks this is anything other than facebook trying to kill the alternatives, they should look at the history of gtalk/xmpp.

mastodon is a viable alternative to twitter, and this means that anyone can go: “there can be other alternatives”. like reddit/lemmy, instagram/pixelfed, youtube/peertube, twitch/owncast, etc. and this is not good for business.

zathura is amazingly lightweight and does the job right. i even use that on my phone (which is not that powerful).

i have an idol3 from 2016 and even that has all the phone capabilities (except the camera) and it’s not listed as a community grade. you would be surprised at how many phones are working fully. and with sxmo/swmo every phone ever has a chance to be a daily driver.

i remember a time when the thing blocking linux migration was audio calling on msn messenger. it got solved but nobody cared. these things take time to go over the tipping point. hardly anybody used android when it first came out, symbian was all the hype.

if you are willing and have a spare phone you should try postmarketos now.

peertube is praxis

ldap is a central authority server. when you have ldap supported software, you can alliviate authorization to a central server. and if you make it so that you only need username for credentials (uid=%s,dc=example,dc=com in ldap jargon), you centralize your user database.

that’s what i use on my home server. it takes most of the user registration hassle away.

edit: by the way dc=example,dc=com is just an arbitrary value, you don’t have to have certbot certification for that or anything.

i don’t know if all of those forum software supports this but this is why we have OpenLDAP for. you can have username as a login criterion and not full username@site.tld. that way when you create a user in one place, you would have that same user everywhere.

tldr it’s a clickbait title.

i guess we’re going off the track here. hamas was propped up by israel because they were religious fanatics, that’s true. they never had the majority support, even now the popular support is for the resistance, whether it is saraya al quds or abu ali mustafa brigades, it doesn’t matter.

majority muslim population does not necessarily mean a sharia state. in fact most muslim countries are secular.

but islam always plays a big role in these situations, mostly because it gives people a sense of community. we can feel the same thing in demonstrations or civil disobediance. you trust your comrade. when i’m in a demonstration i always have a milk+anti-acid mixture to help people that are exposed to tear gas.

so hamas has a use for a limited time. when that time comes to an end, free people of palestine will decide their fate. and if you look at the historical thought leaders of palestine, they’re mostly left leaning, even a good portion is marxist leninist.

ok, that is valid. but still, in times like these, if you don’t have a guiding body, a stronghold, then people will eventually resort to means that they already have. i know you get this, but hakim lived through something similar, so it’s understandable that what got him through all this is very important to him while constructing his lens looking through this situation.

i live in a muslim country and anti-imperialism here -mainly- arises from infidelity of the us. if the us was a muslim country slaughtering non-muslims, the reaction would be different.

you have to understand that the average age of palestine is 18, so not many people get to compel in theory. religion plays a huge role in muslim populations, hakim is right here. it brings people together. of course the resistance is not just al qassam brigades, there’s pflp, dflp etc. but that is a luxury at this point.

on the other hand if you look at the demographic of the palestinian prisoners inside israeli prisons, the situation is complete reverse. there are people there for like 40 years. they did have the privelage to study theory.
