It makes sense that I posted my favorite 20 LPs of 2025 Friday and over the weekend I found another great death metal and punk album from this year, and now today, just Monday of the following week, I stumble across a TROVE of great rap records that just came out also. Yeah, that tracks. 😂
Well, at least now I follow this label and am aware of these bands, etc. (And they're not a secret or anything, I'm gonna post about em here but I'm still going through em all.) Unbelieva…
How on earth do you *permanently* opt out of Dropbox moving file storage to MacOS' weird cloud location?
Failing that, are there alternatives with the same basic 'sync files across multiple devices and allow shared access' functions? I don't want to lose the ability to share folders with family
It should be easy to see how state escalation across the US (especially MLPS) is a strong indicator of a failing counter-insurgency effort.
Force escalations in other areas are, likewise, a strong counter-indicator of success. Given that Trump only know how to escalate, you can assess for yourself the direction of the next few years.

Re: discourse about #FediSoWhite
I'm a white man. Was on Twitter throughout #BLM and gained an awful lot of free education from Black folks on there. That was the start of me consciously following diverse folks which is a strategy that's improved my life immensely.
Back on Twitter before the Muskening, there was a lot of diversity. Black Twitter was a thing, and not just first-world (anyone else remember "O jewa ke eng?"). When I went looking for people to follow to diversify my feed, I found them in abundance.
That's why it's so clearly false to me when people claim that the fediverse is secretly diverse, and why anyone making that claim sounds suspect to me. Sure there are a ton of great Black and other POC folks you can find on here, if you look hard. But it's nowhere near the levels of diversity and community that were on Twitter. Which you would know had you been following those people before, so now I have to assume you weren't, and wonder why you feel qualified to make statements about diversity even though you haven't made an effort to engage with diverse voices before?
Also, if you were actually following some of the excellent POC voices on here, you'd know that across different servers and interest groups, almost every group has had a discussion of #FediSoWhite at some point. If all the Black people you follow are independently talking about the lack of community and diversity here, you've either got to believe them or start putting on your clown makeup, and the later is absolutely a choice.

The American patrol satellite had the targets in its sights:
two recently launched Chinese spacecraft flying through one of the most sensitive neighborhoods in space.
Like any good tactical fighter,
the American spacecraft, known as USA 270, approached from behind,
so that the sun would be at its back, illuminating the quarry.
But then one of the Chinese satellites countered by slowing down.
As USA 270 zipped by, the Chinese satellite dropped in behind its…
