Polling consistently shows disapproval for Israeli actions in Gaza.

Oh the options are endless...Liz Kendall in an SS uniform machine-gunning a load of disabled people, Yvette Cooper in a Suffragette tee laughing as a load of anti-genocide supporters get arrested for holding signs, Keir Starmer taking a shit on the UK whilst Farage stands off to one side loosening his belt ready to go next.

Genital Shame released an awesome split with Lust Hag earlier in the year. You might also enjoy Amanda Yvng, Davghter, Electromancy, Feminazgul, Human Abyss, Karnstein and Mrs Frighthouse.

Hundreds of great tracks on both The Antifascist Black metal Network (hint, its not just Black Metal, there's playlists for Doom, Thrash, Drone, Dungeon Synth, Hardcore etc etc) and its sister channel Antifascist Steel for more non-extreme subgenres. There's also Catacombs of Heresy, ATENEO OCULTO and Brathory channels too.

All participating bands have given full permission for these channels to stream their stuff. And remember there are a few Invidious instances still up and running as well as things like FreeTube, Piped, Grayjay etc.

For anyone who's thinking UK, I'd advise not - we're about 4-5 years behind you in terms of imminent fascism and whilst there's still technically a chance to avert it, its very unlikely - especially since Starmer is being even more awful than the Tories.

It's Blair actually. His gvmt put through the changes to the Terrorism act in (I think) 2001 that has allowed this sort of thing to happen.

One of the ironies of this whole situation is that Yvette Cooper has expressed admiration for the Suffragette movement numerous times, including in the Commons. A movement that self-described as terrorists

If only Keith found it as easy to understand what the people of the country he's currently in charge of care about.

Re-reading Shirley Jackson's "The Haunting of Hill House" because its the best haunted house novel ever written.

Anyone who thinks the US gvmt is building camps, destroying healthcare, destroying education, vilifying local elected leaders, making the legal system toothless etc 'for immigrants' is deluding themselves.

 

Long term Lemmy user and books@ subscriber here! I just wanted to let this Community know that myself and a couple of my Satanist friends (we are Atheistic Satanists, I am independent of any org, they are both members of Global Order of Satan) have started 'The Devil's Library' - a podcast about books and reading where we choose then read a book and record an episode on what we thought. For the first episode (which launched two days ago) we chose Iain Reid's "I'm Thinking of Ending Things".

You can find us in the usual places - including on PeerTube - if you'd like to listen/subscribe.

(Yes, I did check with this Communities mod team that it was OK to post this).

Not sure we ever left.

Streaming music is damaging musicians ability to remain musicians. Spotify are the worst but none of them are great. You can buy (and therefore download, own and control) a bands music from Bandcamp, Ampwall etc. You can also usually get merch there too. The only people who make good money from music streaming are music streaming executives.

 

Also on Invidious and findable on PeerTube if you have that.

 

Been awhile since I saw a thread like this and they're always good for at least one or two things I've never heard of before. Bonus points if the software is open source and cross platform. Extra bonus points if you link to where we can see it/get it.

My contribution: Destiny which is an anonymous, P2P, E2EE file sharing app - its basically a GUI for a Magic Wormhole implementation. Works on Linux (tarball or appimage), Win, Mac, Android (inc f-droid) and iOS. Only downside is it's not been updated for 2 years.

Eveale's debut E.P. now available in full on the Antifascist Black Metal Network YouTube | Invidious

 

So, first up - our Satan Not Hatin' campaign to tackle bigotry and fascism in alt music like metal, punk, electronica, goth, neofolk etc now has over 460 opt-in participants. The campaign recently launched our second compilation album called Mortem Tyrannis - available on Bandcamp or Ampwall - and was organised by House of Heretics who are our Seattle/Washington State based Order and features 25 North American bands/artists with all money going to the ACLU.

One of our other US Orders GOS: Resurgens/Free Society Satanists who are based in Atlanta, Georgia have now added their podcast (The Ave Satanas Podcast) to the main GOS YouTube account too so you can now get twice the amount of Satanism in your ears on YT via their podcast as well as the GOS UK podcast, GOSPod that already exists there. And speaking of GOSPod, they have recently started introducing 'minisodes' which are shorter episodes that run alongside the longer full episodes - these are much more light hearted and discuss a whole range of things (so far, mainly myself and my sibling, Ligeia discussing our love of horror books!).

Speaking of our UK Order, we will be branching out to attend new flea markets across the UK. Next month we will be attending North Wales Macabre Market (Instagram link, sorry) on Saturday 3rd May at Rhyl Town Hall and the very next day Sunday 4th May will see us at The Devils Fayre - Beltane Market at Voodoo in Belfast. If you're interested in coming along you can buy some merch or just have a chat :)

Our UK Order also has a new campaign in the initial planning stages, regarding recent news that not only is the pseudoscience of conversion 'therapy' still in use in the UK, some people are also using religious abuse as 'treatments' - including ritual prayer and exorcism. We have things to say about that, so watch this space.

In the meantime, hail yourselves, hail Satan!

Hi :)

I’m a user on this instance and also mod of a community on this instance about atheistic/nonthesitic Satanism. We are not CoS, nor TST, we are called Global Order of Satan (link is in my profile). Many of our members across the world are lgbtqia+ , possibly even a majority but we don’t really keep formalised records so its hard to say for sure.

Our UK Order (of whom I am a member) are looking into starting a campaign into the religion based abuse of conversion therapy. Obviously we knew it happened but we weren’t aware things like exorcism were used and this clearly falls within our, uh, areas of interest!

This is a delicate subject and I have no wish to trigger anyone but if anyone wanted to share (anonymised) experiences they may have had with religion-based conversion ‘therapy’ (I keep using scarequotes as its clearly pseudoscience) via DM with me, they would be very helpful in giving us some background. If you are not happy with DMing then I am also on Matrix (links also in bio) or you can mail me leraje gosatan com - you can get free anonymous email forwarding here

I guess I might be the only person on the face of the planet dependent on PhotoGIMP so this might be useful for no-one but just on the offchance...

After updating Gimp to 3 and updating photogimp too, it was for me totally and utterly broken. I don't know enough to say why, but it was. It loaded the new splash screen but when fully loaded the whole interface was the standard Gimp one and all interface tools, layouts etc were also (as far as I could tell) standard Gimp. I searched for answers but couldn't find any. Maybe this is a 'me' issue or maybe the updates are too new or maybe photogimp doesn't have enough of a userbase to notice.

So, I've ended up rolling back to gimp 2.10 and the 2020.1 version of photogimp. However, this is not a straightforward process. Here's what I had to do (assuming flatpak).

Remove all photogimp bits and pieces from $HOME/.var, $HOME/.local and most especially $HOME/.config

DO NOT uninstall Gimp itself.

Then revert gimp 3.02 to 2.10 like so:

First you need the commit id of previous versions of Gimp.

flatpak remote-info --log flathub org.gimp.GIMP

For 2.10 its 83b335255cc239e223ada842f99107d1d6ce51b511a8ae2a278005c2e2809242

So this is technically an update even though we're reverting not upgrading, so Gimp itself still needs to be installed. Might need to sudo the next command.

flatpak update --commit=83b335255cc239e223ada842f99107d1d6ce51b511a8ae2a278005c2e2809242 org.gimp.GIMP

Let it do its thing. When its ready, you can (optionally but I did) tell flatpak to ignore updates like so:

flatpak mask org.gimp.GIMP

When that's all done, open and run gimp and you should now have 2.10

Close Gimp.

Now download photogimp 2022.1 from the releases page, then extract the relevant files into $HOME/.var and $HOME/.local respectively.

Double check $HOME/.config/GIMP is definitely gone.

Open Gimp again and you should have photogimp back to its pre-gimp3 self.
