@clacke It seems like the research indicates yes? It's just a short interview and I'd like to read the book, but one of the points they talked about was inclusiveness, and how more people are able to participate in nonviolent resistance movements, and the types of people that are able to participate - women and children especially - can be a factor that moderates a potentially violent response from authorities

@fedilab
Seriously, thanks for all the time and work you put in. Fedilab is great software and if I'm ever in the neighborhood of where you are, I'll totally buy you a beer or coffee or wine or bubble tea or whatever it is you like to drink :)

@Kobaly
Thanks, good tip to have handy if I'm in the web interface! I was looking in my user settings :)

@mattskala
Yeah, but this comes down to self-hosting or choosing a server with an admin whose block policies you agree with.

@newt
Haha LACK! We hacked some of those into a cover for the cat's litter boxes :)

@fedilab
Hey, thanks Tom! :)

I also do not think your release schedule is slow! But then, I'm a Debian user....

@Kobaly
nice! Where do you do that? I actually looked a couple days ago and couldn't find it.

@moopet
I looked the other day and couldn't find it?

I don't understand what all the Gab blocking drama is about. But then, I use #fedilab which lets me block whole domains in the client if I so choose, so it doesn't matter what the server does.

@clacke
They never used the terms reasonable or unreasonable resistance. I'm not sure what that is.

"The nonviolent campaigns in the data had about a two-to-one advantage in success rate over the violent campaigns.”

This episode of the Social Science Bites #podcast talking with Erica Chenoweth about political violence and why non-violent resistance is more successful is really interesting.

If you've got 20 minutes while you're making dinner or doing some chores, I recommend giving it a listen!

@mareklach
I haven't seen S3 yet, but that sounds like a pretty accurate depiction of 1980s cold war era American attitude; I'll keep a lookout for it when I get around to watching it

@iiogama
Is it uphill one way and down the other?

Haha that's great!

Android: hey do you want me automatically turn on wifi and connect to a high speed network when one is available?

Me: okay but if wifi is off how do you know when there are available networks?

Android: ...

Me: ...

Android: you ask too many questions
