So what do the attacks on Mitterrand and Bolsonaro teach us about the attack on #Trump today ?
Nothing as the truth may never be established and each side will prefer its own version. One thing is certain: it has an effect on votes.
Don’t ask me who are the people who think a stabbed asshole is better than an unstabbed asshole.

2024-07-13 23:03:14

About #Trump’s attack:
On September 6 2018 Bolsonaro suffered from a knife attack. On October 28 he was elected as president of Brasil. Before the knife attack he had 20% of vote intentions. After that it jumped to 26%. Martyr effect.
Many people from the other side think it was staged. I don’t know that but it surely contributed to his victory.

Old one is listed on their site for around 700€.

@npub19fc…ay3c Mediapart in France for example does work without ads. It has about 200k subscribers. Real investigative journalism. It hosts free blogs but most of the articles are in the paid area.
I personally pay to support it. I wish at least the archive was free as I believe it could have a political influence (it’s a left leaning site).

@npub16uc…k62q It seems Etsy is at a convergence point between attracting scammers and being held by yet another evil / incompetent corporation.
The solution I see if if artisans.coop was integrated with Mastodon (and other Fediverse services). I wish I could just see someone’s profile to see what they do / sell. And check along with the people I know or their relations if I can trust them.

@npub1sat…8vnx One huge difference with the QC35 is that in them the noise cancellation only worked in combination with Bluetooth but not with wired input. So if you needed real time sound to something (like playing notes etc) you lost the noise cancellation. Then there’s a bunch of attention to small « details » but it adds up. Stuff like pausing the YouTube video when you remove them and then starting again when you put them back on 10 seconds later.

A slightly longer term (late) review of #AirPodsMax back in Brazil. I use them every single day I am on the computer. In my context I consider them life changing. It’s overall much noisier here than in Switzerland (also because there are more people).
The QC35 I had were fine but it was so annoying to disconnect and reconnect to Bluetooth or to remove them to listen to an audio message on phone. This shit works like magic if you use only that shiny expensive prison :apple: ecosystem.

The 40 inch TV above my desk is too large for #emulation but looks great at 1920x1080 with a :rpi: 4 running Amiberry in a borderless 800x600 window on Ubuntu desktop. I quickly adapted a Commodore monitor image (stolen on DeviantArt 😅) to just fit behind the window’s default position.
At “native” 800x600 you get both a usable workbench and the right size for old school #Amiga demos & games with 2x pixels & scanlines.

@npub14yq…rfl3 A long time ago my boss was also the chief of the local firemen. He was a very nice person. I remember he explained most of his job with new firemen is that they insisted on risking their life. He repeatedly explained that to help others you must focus first on keeping yourself alive.
Making enough money to live in peace is also a tool that will allow you to offer more to the community.

@npub14yq…rfl3 Since you can do good work, chances are you could make money by yourself with your own products, not depending on anyone to exploit your workforce and make profit on top of it.
Sadly this requires creating a second persona who cares about money before art. The hard part is not letting this persona take over fully.

@npub14yq…rfl3 It’s a worldwide market with workforce being pushed down constantly :-/ In some places 200€ means a lot more than it does in Europe. Then there’s the whole “games aren’t serious work” mentality. It’s often easier to get 10k for a corporate webpage than for a full game.

In comparison while also exhausting a 10 hour drive in seems very relaxing (and I don’t like driving particularly). Having no fixed time helps.

One of things that would make life so much easier would be an :mastodon: app which simply hides from main timeline the posts from users that are in lists.
So the “main” timeline could be just another list. Seeing everything twice sort of cancels the usefulness of lists for me.

@npub1svs…p66u since you already have translation (via my own DeepL key and others sources) and your translation appears in a separate popup you could “easily” fulfill my wish of letting me tap a particular word to get its translation. Would be great for language learning (depending on language mastery one wouldn’t even know from the text below which is which)
