Wow, I didn't know that! That's absolutely wild

.... The root of the thread you're replying's main body is stuff JSO has actually achieved.

I'm assuming this is referring to JSO.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Just_Stop_Oil

Beginning on 1 April, they carried out England-wide blockades of ten critical oil facilities, intending to cut off the supply of petrol to South East England.[33][34][35]

On 26 August, the group blocked seven petrol stations in Central London and vandalised fuel pumps. Forty-three people around London were arrested on suspicion of criminal damage.

On 20 June, the protestors spray painted private jets at a private airfield at Stansted Airport. The group had been targeting a jet belonging to singer Taylor Swift, but could not locate it.[140]

Yes, a lot of their protests are "awareness" stuff (basically none of which do actual damage. Unlike oil, actually!). No, it's not just that. The UK isn't an active warzone so bombing stuff is slightly more difficult to justify.

I'm not an OS dev, I have no idea how stuff this low-level works.

I'd suggest some kind of "press this key to view debug information" text (or make it documented but not visible, to avoid people just pressing whatever button is written on the screen)

I'll stick with AP for now but I'll keep an eye on it, then.

Nostr is culturally vaguely american, and it's hard to distinguish the libertarians from the Trumpists there (I've seen several posts saying "Trump will be better for Bitcoin", for example). Libertarians and republicans both sell themselves as "small government".

"Leftist libertarians" generally call themselves anarchists, in my experience.

I checked out Nostr relatively recently and it seemed to me it was full of cryptobros and extremely right-wing people (libertarians, Trump fanatics. A ton of racism and queerphobia, also a bunch of conspiracy thinking). Has anything changed?

It's actually several seminars. For historical reasons presentations from gay frogs, lesbian frogs, bisexual frogs, etc. Are all grouped under "gay frog seminar"

Just to offer some support, you're right and those are good questions

Oh, that is a surprisingly logical explanation. Neat.
