jdpon don says CIA out of DRC

You sure that isn't just part of some healthcare privatization and cost-cutting effort? I mean an annual checkup can be just a money-seeking thing so it goes either way but still.

Mr Evrart is helping me find my blade.

It feels like the same thing exists with Hollywood movies. Even movies that try to have a populist class-politics angle to them seem out-of-touch like they were obviously made by progressive middle-class Hollywood writers. Compare that to the vibe of movies from the 1980s or whatever which feel so much more real. Like the opening scene of Alien where its a bunch of workers arguing over how they should approach a request from the company and the characters feel real and their arguments feel real, not caricatures or anyone being unreasonable. I've never seen something like that in a modern movie. But it was probably based on labor action that was happening in real life at the time.

It's kind of sad. Haven't seen I Love Boosters yet, maybe it has some of those vibes or maybe not idk. The separation of working class experience from entertainment is probably pretty intentional, but also probably happens naturally. Especially without the Soviet Union.

The fact that the wikipedia article is so thorough and obviously biased in favor of the protests makes it really sus.

James Cameron is making a whole series "we will be so bad in the future too" so there's definitely appetite.

Kshama Sawant is running against Adam Smith. idk her chances of winning but it's great that she's challenging this ghoul.

super cool. The article says the project has been making improvements since 2018. But it seems like it's still experimental. It feels like there must be some big impediments still, or a catch. Since it doesn't say anything about actually putting it into production.

It's not really your question, but you can use QGIS to create maps digitally (or edit or copy parts of existing map data from OpenStreetMap). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCnNWyl9qSE

If you wanna get really fancy with it.

It also has lots of tools for map rendering for printing out the map.

Of course it uses some new complex API added 3 years ago. Web browsers are just too complicated and fast-moving to be private or secure. Thanks to Google and others for not simplifying any of this over time.

So it uses a20161

I doubt there's an official exact color though.

The "offficial"/'original" one linked in the sources uses a50162.
