These days I'm browsing videos on invidious, and use yt-dlp to get the video. But after a while I get error, apparently youtube limits the request rates, and I think their Invidious instance run out of it.
When that happens I use piped to browse. Problem is on pipe I don't see option to order videos. So the two platform has to be mixed depending on usecase, not to abuse invidious' limits...
Almost getting to the point when its just simpler to bite the bullet and suffer on the youtube.

There was one nitter instance that worked reliably. Was a short downtime when Musk got the 5 minutes and shut xtwitter in, but that's over.

Matt's parents having a rooster tiles wall at the stove/oven is based. Nice allegory of fire.

The fuck, DPA doesn't update his Odysee channel anymore! Last video is from 7 days ago...
If I remember correctly there is a service for youtube/odysee that yt videos can be pushed to Odysee as well. Did Google break this? They are fucking with ad blockers and frontends for a while, perhaps this is the result of their retardation.

Matt's ain't doing better. He says he'll try stuff. I guess doing something is better than just waiting. Keeps the morale up too.

I dunno. An article said they took 10 million pills in 1941 only. On the other hand the article looked more liek a sensationalist smearticle.

 >>/50179/
I don't remember the full details of it, I just know it was banned for soldiers in either 1940 or 1941 by the army not the government I think.

However, it's a commercial product and as I said I think it was banned by the army, so civilians and the Luftwaffe(and maybe SS and Navy) might still have been able to get it.
I know that the allies gave pilots amphetamines to keep them awake, maybe something similar was continued in the Luftwaffe.

A Deutshe Welle article says it was made illegal in 1941. I can't find the page that I was thinking of that mentioned the German army banning it because of the effect it had on soldiers though.

Pretty much everything that comes up are news tabloids and pop-history such.

arrest of... mp4
(4.27 MB, 592x1280 h264)

Events are unfolding in a completely predictable course. The opposition holds demonstrations but the military and police remain loyal. Maduro is content to sit on a throne of bayonets. Lula and other moderate leftists in the continent have offered negotiations, all of which have so far been rejected by Maduro. Lula is in an uncomfortable position, trapped between losing a longtime regional ally and losing votes for his party. Suggesting negotiations allows his ally to whitewash legitimacy without the PR disaster of directly endorsing Maduro's electoral results, which is precisely what Lula's party did. He has gone so far as to publicly disavow his party's position. Lately he called the Venezuelan regime "very unpleasant" and "authoritarian", but "not a dictatorship", which neither side was pleased to hear.
Negotiations could be a clever move by Maduro. He's done it before, goading the opposition into backing down from confrontation and fooling it with empty concessions. A repeat election would be even better, it would be a second chance to demoralize voter turnout and rig the results. Lula knows this, he's giving his ally a way out. Maybe Maduro will accept under further international pressure. So far he refuses to back down even on a rhetorical level, counting on his coup-proofing measures. The National Guard, Militia and even the colectivo paramilitaries are potential counterweights to Army unrest. Cuban advisors, even a handful of them, keep a watch on suspicious officers. Even then, all of this is a risky bet. Coup-proofing is always perfectly successful until it isn't. Individual officers know popular acclaim or even CIA cash await them if they refuse to disperse demonstrations.

Hispanophone Maduro apologetics resort to cheap claims like the voting tallies already having been submitted to the Supreme Court (whose presiding judge is a card-carrying member of the ruling party) or the release of tallies not being needed at all. Anglophone apologists resort to the beaten litany of color revolution, CIA-backed, upper class oppositionists and so on.
I've watched clips from Maduro's speeches and he's nothing like that. His rhetoric has some classical far left components (fascism, imperialism, bourgeois representative democracy is a lie, we're building a new democracy of the 21st century) but it's a chaotic mix. There's room for religion (reading the Bible, accusing his enemies of Satanism, mentioning the "Venezuelan family", describing himself as in a "spiritual fight between good and evil"), generation shock (uninstalling Whatsapp, attacking tech companies), Palestine-baiting or Jew-baiting (claiming his enemies are financed by international Zionism) and other colorful influences.
A much livelier personality than his defenders. He's funny in a buffoonish, unintentional way. None of Chavéz's charisma.

Also notable are the intelligence and police services running psychological terrorism through heavily edited footage of their arrests of opposition figures. Another bullet point to Venezuela's cyberpunk status. It's not cyberpunk because of purple filters and flashing lights (though these might appear) but from authorities publicizing a crackdown like it's a funny meme. It could even be awe-inspiring if they had a proper production quality.

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/venezuela-politics-hatelaw/
Older news: this regime also relies on "hate speech" to suppress certain kinds of discussion, much like advanced Western democracies. The big difference is that in Venezuela, it's hate speech against individual authorities.

 >>/52325/
Sounds like Lula had to pick between two seats, and he chose sitting on the floor. Vaguely I remember him doing another failure of a balancing act some time ago, no?
> Maduro's rhetoric
He obviously has to refuse fascism. That is always a good move. Then has to claim he is democratic despite not fulfilling the liberal-democratic expectations of the West. Then have to ponder to the Catholic traditions of Hispanics, South Americans; they were always faithful, even commies. Then have to place himself within the geopolitical trends, USA is unfriendly, means have to align against Israel. etc etc. At least that's my impression from your sketch.

 >>/52326/
Hatespeech is ofc silly to begin with. And really if we say can do hatespeech against group X, then surely can be done against group Y. Since it's nonsense there are no rules where to apply.

Memezuela update: half a year has passed since the elections and Maduro's new term has begun. Official electoral authorities have yet to publish 100% results (just the 2nd of August 96.87% counting) and a breakdown of the numbers down to the precint level. They haven't bothered to concoct an explanation for the mathematical magic of their earlier results and the National Electoral Council's website is still down. Relations with Brazil have soured but Lula sent the ambassador to attend the ceremony.

 >>/52329/
> Vaguely I remember him doing another failure of a balancing act some time ago, no?

Might have been his comments on a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine war. He was good enough of a negotiator in his trade union days and decades of domestic and international puffery must have inflated his ego. To some extent he still thinks he can win a Nobel Peace Prize or a permanent seat in the Security Council.

Btw this is pretty much broke sanctions in place against North Korea. They can import anything via Russia now. And anyone can trade now with NK via Russian proxies.

I hear lot about the Best Koreans these days. I don't think I can add much, as far as I know there is no evidence they are fighting against AFU, or that they even at the western border of Russia, any documented movements of theirs is on the Russian Far east.
But check this out. From Rodong Sinmun.

The ingenuity of the Korean people knows no boundaries. These drones are also look very unique with this X-wing design, surely nowhere else in the world we can observe such thing.

Anyway.
Just from these images, it seems they tested at least 3 types of drones.
That X wing thing is perhaps a simplified version of the Lancet. The one that strikes the BMW seems to have one pair of big wings. And lastly they have those tubes, maybe it's the launching tube for an UAV which wings pops out similarly to the Switchblade drone. Perhaps???

Also since Rodong Sinmun is for the outside world, it cannot be overlooked that this might be just for the show, and these are not much more than simple fireworks rockets.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=9DtnNPweNbU

As I noted I wanted to post this for the lyrics. I think it's quite rare. Basically they took events and facts about the radio, the history of Hungarian radio, and weaved it into the lyrics. Am gonna try to do a translation in the following post. It won't be an "artistic" translation ofc, and I want to add couple of notes about what they are referring to.

LGT: A rádió/Szól a rádió (~The Radio/The Radio is On) - lyrics

It was called "broadcasting" and it cost a lot
When the first speaker sat at the microphone
His metallic voice lifted off and flew far
And a listener thought - The test was successful
Note: it was really called "broadcasting" in the beginning, with the English term. Prior to that we had something on the Hungary that can be translated to "telenews" which was an idea of the Hungarian inventor, Puskás Tivadar of the telephone exchange. He imagined that the telephone wasn't just for communication between two parties but a tool for mass communication, and they organized a news service that could be listened via the telephone. It had liek 10K subscriber in the country. Anyway he worked closely with Edison, and I think English/American practices had great impact on telecommunication hereabout.

On the Gyáli street a closed up furniture truck stood
Which served as the first radio studio in '23
And it was served as broadcast fine
When adjutant John Marcal sang a song
Note: this is all true. The first experimental radio station was set up in a furniture transporting truck (it was roomy enough) and it stood on the yard of a post office on the Gyáli street, Budapest. Marcal János was a postal coworker, who was an amateur singer. They thought just reading stuff would be too dry and wanted a colorful insert, so they asked him to sing.

They could note about the radio in '24
That it broadcasted the first concert from the Zoo
And the producers cursed the competition
Which sold the Rhapsody in Blue without profit
Note: The first two lines are about the Zoo of Budapest, which was an important place for community events, and they held concerts there regularly (the Zoo had it's on orchestra as well). This broadcast in 1924 June, was still experimental as far as I know, since "official" radio was started next year.
The lines about the copyright wankery surely is a note about the issue how the IP holders needs to be compensated after their stuff is broadcasted. Rhapsody in Blue was published in 1924.

The amateurs living nearby heard clearly
When the station of Csepel greeted with a Good Morning in '25
All kinds of weird antennas jumped into the air
And a clever student tinkered a detector receiver
Note: as I wrote about the first official station was opened in 1925, at Csepel, a district of Budapest. The rest is about the spread of the radio, and ofc a nod towards the amateurs, enthusiasts who built their own equipment and had important role in the popularization of radio broadcasts.

By the golden age all the speakers had learnt that
Improvisation is forbidded, the written text must be read!
Although only a few knew Skoff Elza and Filotás Lili
All the listeners knew how nice their voice is
The golden age of radio begin in the '30s on the Hungary. I assume it was expected from the anchors to tell the news how they got it on paper. Radio ain't free.
Skoff Elza and Filotás Lili were both presenters the latter a decade earlier from 1931 (at the age 23). Both knew languages - German, French, English typically complemented by some others.

The kids were searching the "uncle" in the box
And the grandmas polished it with wax
The mailmen took from the listeners the tax
Who had to pay the same both for the good and bad news
Note: the "uncle" is a generic term for older men, the kids thought someone is in the box of the radio. Since the box was made of wood and not plastic back then it needed some care, as with all furniture, so they polished them with wax. The tax in this context is the subscription fee, I assume it was kinda like the telly loicense for the Bri'ish. And ofc it was the same amount no matter what was the news.

I skip a verse here because it's just a "radio simulation".

Today we receive it in stereo, and it's good
For one can hear different things from the two sides
The beauty in the sound of the grand orchestra
That you sit in the middle and you listen well, the picture is more clear
Note: it's a not so technical explanation of the stereo sound, since it gives a different perspective, a more natural sounding.

Sometimes it interferes with us, and sometimes machines interfere with them
We put them in our pockets, and if you don't pay mind it will pocket you
In clear weather all broadcasts received clearly
And in the programs the old song can be heard anew
Note: first two lines are word plays I tried to translate doesn't matter, first line is based on the interference ofc.

I got a copy of Duke Nukem's Megaton edition. And I compared it to randy pitchford's cursed version.

It's the exact same thing. Only thing they added were just redone Duke Nukem lines from John St. John. And the Russia/USSR chapter. I have no clue why they got rid of the Megaton edition since they could have added extra content easily to that one ffs.

Apparently it happened more than a year ago, but the case has been "in review" since the video above was revealed. The dude in the floor was a nignog suspected of having participated in a deadly shooting. The police claimed they shot in response after he produced a gun and shot a policeman in a leg. However, this is disputed by other people who believe he was unarmed and the shot came from another police (probably that woman seen in the video)

While looking for that I found vids related.

I'd really watch the whole thing spiraling out. That cop whose gun was taken looks incompetent, how he let that happen? Obviously there is more to it.
Then the dude walking up towards the arriving cop cars, calm as a cucumber. Did they just blast him, or did he went for a shot first? The branches covering the scene.
Tried to search about this but who knows when was this taken.
