It won’t be up to him. It’s not even a given that he will be selected for a leadership role (although he probably will be). Do bear in mind that he compromised on some of his own positions as Labour leader to reflect the membership too.

I’m a member and look forward to getting the procedures in place at conference to prevent this sort of stuff happening again in future.

It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be a part of the founding of a political party that aligns with my values and if it all goes tits up with Your Party I’m glad that Greens will be right there. If it all goes tits up with the Greens we will have Your Party. Both are currently prepared to cooperate electorally (and I’ll be voting in favour of this as a member) and I think both parties would vote in favour of a coalition if the time came.

If they would have him after bitching about him all the time for their so-called “Boris Wave” of immigration.

He’s a liability for other reasons too and would draw the sort of heat on things like Brexit and corruption that they would rather not have have to explain themselves about.

They should totally get him on board.

Why are they downvoting then?

I didn’t say it wouldn’t matter. I said it wouldn’t matter as much.

I really respect your comittment to using þorns here, even though it means people probably down vote you because they don’t know what’s going on.

Just wanted to let you know. Keep it up :)

This wouldn’t matter so much if 1) Arts Council funding hadn’t been decimated under austerity and 2) Working class people could afford to buy art.

The pool of people who can afford to keep the arts alive is rapidly diminishing. I work with artists and see this week in week out but it’s the same with everything.

Rich man moves to the village and everyone goes to work for him.

Cool, which ones do you recommend? Yeah, I found it really straightforward and pleasant to get started.

I use Jan. It’s really good. A minimal install needs around 10GB of space and you can use it offline. The ‘jan nano’ model works faster than I can read in most cases.

AFAIK If you host GotoSocial it links out to the instances where content is hosted, rather than downloading it as a copy. I have a single-user instance on a tiny VPS and it uses hardly any resources. I think part of the reason for that is the above. You have to use a client application with it because there is no web interface, which I think is partly why it is so lightweight.

Might be worth looking at if you’re concerned about accidentally hosting things you don’t want.

He is right. I highly recommend reading Good Cop, Bad War by Neil Woods, who was an undercover police officer working on drugs busts and is scathing about the negative effects of the ‘War On Drugs’.

On a political level Zack Polanski is smart to get this out of the way early in the election cycle. Still, most of the people who will be up in arms about this are old Tories and will be therefore voting for Reform anyway.

💪

Latest YouGov polling shows that the Green Party are now leading the polls for under-50s.

Reform are resonating incredibly powerfully, for old people.

Immich sounds great.

Does it have E2EE? I rent a VPS and would prefer personal files that I have on it to be protected.

What are the security advantages?

you get well optimized software for your specific cpu and architecture

That’s really cool. How does that work?

Even more.

I’m using syncthing-fork.

This was Taliban 1.0 drugs policy. “Drugs are forbidden, unless they are being sold to the infidel.”

Why not?

Firefox apparently has 21 million lines of code. I feel stress just knowing that something this monstrously complicated exists on my computer. I can’t imagine what it must be like to maintain it.
