From a the chat:

"Here is a site that provides custom firmware for a handful of DJI Drones which remove no fly restrictions. (Unfortunately not free, costs $3 I think)
https://nolimitdronez.com/

On many drones you can simply downgrade your drones firmware to a version before these no fly zones were added, maybe the first firmware version.

On drones that work with Android Apps, you can often open the apk file as a zip to remove the noflyzone database.

For any other special cases, I encourage you to search online for a custom firmware for your particular drone. See if other people have figured out how to remove restrictions with your model."

Civ4 wiki has some comments on fascism:

"Some common elements of fascism include strong nationalist sentiment, xenophobia, subordination of individual interests to the community, militarism and glorification of the army, secret police forces that enforce secret laws, informer networks, suppression of civil liberties and independent media, and economic policies that tightly tie business and commerce to government."

"When fascist leaders are democratically elected (as Adolf Hitler was), they often try to modify or abolish the democratic institutions that placed the leaders in power."

Reminds me of Xi Jinping altering the constitution to remove term limits, with 2964 parliamentary votes in favor and 2 against. Trump jokingly approved, stating "President for life... I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day."

To the fascist who are watching this channel. I know most of you are very well set in your opinions, and being a fascist is giving you a sense of purpose in this world.

I want to reach out to you, person to person, and say I'm ready to converse with people who have recently found their "group", but their recent language and behavior is making you question it. I know this because I used to be a right winger at some point in my life. Your mind is telling you what you're saying and doing is wrong, but at the same time, the events of your life has pushed you to find a "family" that loves you, disciplines you, and cherishes you.

You've decided that that family are the fascists. I don't blame you for identifying with them, but I do blame you for continuing to do so.

Capitalism, and the fact that we're all a cog in the machine has taken away a lot of sense of community that people used to build. You might be someone who was extremely unpopular in school. You might be someone who is stuck at a minimum wage job and you're buying into the "Immigrants are destroying our opportunity" propaganda. I mean, it makes sense. It wasn't your fault to be born into the situation you were in.

We're all, deep down, are fighting the same things that have made us actually hate the system. It feels like the world is constantly against us.

I'm going to be honest with you all, the path that you have picked is only going to bring more suffering, and solidify the system that you've set out to fight against. Your fight is going to end up with more people being in your situation. Lost, lonely, and unsure where to go. It's a feeling we're all experiencing due to the alienation of us from society & nature.

If you think you want to talk about the issues of the world, or if you want to talk about how much life is painful due to the things you've seen around the world. Or if you think someone has cheated you out of an opportunity that was rightfully yours. Then please do message @BLMProtestsBot - I would love to talk with you and listen to you and understand you. But only if you promise to do the same with me.


Thank you all - at the end of the day we just want all of us to live happy & without fear and anxiety about going hungry, or without shelter, or that we're going to have to decide between keeping our home vs treating our loved one for a terrible disease.
