@cdarwin@c.imCommunities have changed how resistance is conducted
— away from the myth of the solitary activist hero
and toward
shared capacity.
As Grace Lee Boggs taught us,
“Movements are born of critical connections rather than critical mass.”
Political exhaustion took on new meaning.
It was no longer treated as a personal struggle, but as shared terrain
— produced by oppressive systems and requiring collective response.
The question shifted from…

@chris@mstdn.chrisalemany.caBC's strategy was doomed to fail because, like nearly every government program in BC and Canada, there is a deep reluctance to increase spending and taxation to create actual capacity and capability in government.
The BC Government thought they could just decriminalize a few drugs and maybe put in some ‘targeted' funding here and there that would eventually shift to the private or charity sector.
It was never going to work. This was not a failure of the Portugal method in BC, it was an unwillingness to actually implement everything Portugal did to have success.
"Portugal’s drug strategy paired decriminalization with a massive, coordinated investment in treatment, housing, and social support, whereas B.C.’s decriminalization came without enough detox beds, long-term treatment, supportive housing, mental health services or follow-up care, leaving major gaps in its response. “Portugal had politicians and thought leaders who recognized the issue and that the response wasn’t just to decriminalize, but also to provide increased support,” said Pauly.”

@pre@boing.worldSince it looks like it might be a while until the Steam Machines are released, due to market bullshit around AI malinvestment and the subsequent price of RAM, I gave up waiting and Installed Jellyfin on a temporary machine.
Jellyfin is pretty nice. I like the sync-play feature so the machines in the kitchen and bedroom and studio can all be playing the same thing. Walking between rooms and detecting which is slightly ahead, makes me smile. Watching a TV show as I cook and being able to wonder around the flat viewing uninterupted.
A bit flakey with video though. Sync failure means they all pause sometimes. Might just be the wifi signal strength I guess.
Ripped all the old archive folders of DVDs and CDs. DVDs have a quite high failure rate after fifteen years in a cupboard eh? CDs faired better.
Expect I'll buy charity shop DVDs more now. Though also expecting half of 'em won't work.
I'm listening to music a bit more now I have a one button shuffle that triggers everywhere in the flat.
I set up a ytdl-sub to copy a few youtube playlists into the TV shows folders. Keeping like the last month's worth. Some shows, like the Dust sci-fi channel say, work really well as being part of the synced TV system instead.
Also made it slurp up all my old youtube videos into a folder too, so yet another local copy of everything I made, in there with all the other ripped shows.
I have spent far too long this month fussing with directory structures and tweeking icon images and things to make it look all pretty. Enjoy that sort of thing though.
