Things October 31 is besides #Halloween: #Reformation Day, celebrating the date in 1517 when Martin #Luther nailed his 95 theses to a church door in Wittenberg--or did he?
Modern scholarship long tended to dismiss the episode as fictional, citing lack of contemporary evidence. 1/n
Things October 31 is besides #Halloween: #Reformation Day, celebrating the date in 1517 when Martin #Luther nailed his 95 theses to a church door in Wittenberg--or did he?
In 2018, 2 historians from the historical Luther sites set forth the case for the authenticity of the tradition that he nailed the 95 theses to the church door OTD 1517:
Things October 31 is besides #Halloween: #Reformation Day, celebrating the date in 1517 when Martin #Luther nailed his 95 theses to a church door in Wittenberg--or did he?
Book historian Andrew Pettegree, who accepts the tradition, makes the key points in Brand Luther (2017):
Even Luther did not see the Theses as extraordinary
Author clearly explains how private equity firms are destroying essential industries, how they avoid legal responsibility for the disastrous consequences, who’s empowering them and how they can be stopped.
Private equity’s #enshittification is to blame for much of the worst aspects of health care, housing crisis, the economy as well as the deepening wealth gap.
oh he didn't know what private equity was until 3-4 months into writing his book... and his employer is the Department of Justice which is the government? He looks a little egotistical considering he doesn't have much experience, feels like a smear job.
and his interviewers are even more pushing anti-capitalist rhetoric... and they make things about specific politicians...
I think they're just upset capitalists figured out how to dodge taxes by using debt lol
this is sounding less like an interesting book =[
I don't think he knows anything deep, I think this whole thing is an opinion piece
Damn I really do like the lemmy community more. On other social media aggregators, people are flipping the fuck out.
The more reasonable discourse about this article, on Lemmy is just healthier for everyone’s mental state.
That being said, I tend to agree this is a nothing burger and Leer Decks is likely fine for a few more years. It’s a low budget show and the writing is on point making a broad range of fans happy. I’ve heard this show has actually brought in a lot of new Trek fans too.
if you want to make your posts more convenient to us lemmings, don’t mention/tag until the second paragraph
the first paragraph gets converted into a title with the ugly formatting, but as long as the first paragraph is plaintext (or uses lemmy formatting) it looks fine
@neilhimself Honestly, this is how I expected it to go. The worst thing that could happen to 90% of the actors is that they can just temporary find another job for the same amount of money. Or they could just work with studios who give them a better contract. The business executives don't have any other option.
@neilhimself Once again …… I am sooooo tired of TRYING to read articles that either want you to sign up for membership or ask 20 questions before you can read. ggggrrrrrrrrr
When a population becomes distracted by trivia, when cultural life is redefined as a perpetual round of entertainments, when serious public conversation becomes a form of baby-talk, when, in short, a people become an audience, and their public business a vaudeville act, then a nation finds itself at risk; #culture-death is a clear possibility.
How did i miss that?!? Yes, that is one of the ones i've read. Considering when it was written, and before the internet/digital age, WOW!!! That is one i'd like to re-read. I've yet to get anyone else to read it, but i keep trying :)
Thanks for sharing!
Backup truecharts apps on TrueNAS scale.
Could someone please tell me if there is a way to backup Truecharts apps that I have installed on TrueNAS Scale? @selfhosted@OpenSource@selfhost@truenas
I really like truenas for nas but I agree with you on running vms/docker somewhere else. I ended up keeping truenas for the mass storage (the only thing I run on it is one virtual machine to hold proxmox backupserver on an ivol). I think the much better home platform for vms is proxmox. You get ar eally nice gui that makes everything pretty easy, it’s debian under the hood and with proxmox backup server you can very easily backup your virtual machines. It’s also very easy to mount nfs or cifs shares into docker containers so you can keep the bulk data of your docker environment directly on the nas, which makes managing backups dead simple.
While 'samurai' is a strictly masculine term, the Japanese bushi class (the social class samurai came from) did feature women who received similar training in martial arts and strategy. These women were called “Onna-Bugeisha,” and they were known to participate in combat along with their male counterparts. Their weapon of choice was usually the naginata, a spear with a curved, sword-like blade that was versatile, yet relatively light.
Since historical texts offer relatively few accounts of these female warriors (the traditional role of a Japanese noblewoman was more of a homemaker), we used to assume they were just a tiny minority. However, recent research indicates that Japanese women participated in battles quite a lot more often than history books admit. When remains from the site of the Battle of Senbon Matsubaru in 1580 were DNA-tested, 35 out of 105 bodies were female. Research on other sites has yielded similar results."
If we're getting fussy about terminology, you might say 'subaltern,' which reflects a group's oppression. More radically, critical theorists sometimes say that all of us who are not among the political, economic, military, or religious elite are 'colonized.'
@Benfell@CommonMugwort@hazelnot@gorfram I'm more with Franz Fanon when it comes to the processes of colonisation. The result in the colonised is a sort of internalalised fascist, to paraphrase Deleuze and Guattari. Fanon identifies colonialism as a machine of “naked violence,” which “only gives in when confronted with greater violence”. In Fanon’s view, the Western bourgeoisie was “fundamentally racist” and its “bourgeois ideology” of equality and dignity was merely a cover for capitalist-imperialist rapacity. Access to the qualifiers of bourgeois identity (like money) are premised on this racism. In fact identity formation is critical in Fanon's analysis; colonialism is a total project, so the colonized find themselves adrift in abjection. But violence changes all of that. Violence is simultaneously a saying of no to colonialism and a saying of yes to the possibilities of post-colonial life.
TIL that the term "Mizrahi" is a reclaimed term, originally a racist term and slurrish, it's since been reclaimed by those Jews as a way to self-identify, especially for those Jews who live in Israel.
I've only heard it in the context of its reclaimed use, but knowing the history is important.
While I am am Ashkenazi, if someone identifies as a Mizrahi, you do not have the right to call them an "Arab Jew". You should always use the term that they use for self-identification.
In addition, I did not ask to be put on these groups, nor do I wish to engage with you any further.
If someone identifies as Sephardi or Mizrahi and someone else "re-classifies them" "Arab Jew", this is a form of erasure and possibly harassment.
@josephramoney well we have those as well… Baruch ashem … 🙏 the #Ashkenazi eugenicist Arthur Ruppin, for example, a prominent #Zionist leader who met with Himmler's mentor, Hans F. K. Günther. Ruppin was also Ben Gurion’s mentor, so I guess the ethnic cleansing of #Palestine was not an accident.

No coincidence that my partner, the librarian, has been stockpiling books on self-help topics now that the Internet is practically useless (and increasingly, actively damgerous) for things like "how do I repair X" or "recipe for bread".
@CodexArcanum@carey@SamYourEyes One of the collections I'm responsible for contains a large number of Chilton auto repair guides going back decades. I refuse to weed them, despite low use, because the digital equivalent is very expensive and it's the sort of information that will increasingly be locked behind paywalls
