Iran was impossibly degenerate in the 1970’s. Cocaine, disco, and everything that went along with it. That all 180’d in 1979. Any regime change, no matter how brutally oppressive, must have support among a wide swath of the civilian populace. The rubber band can snap back. America could re-embrace Christianity …seemingly overnight. The photos in this article are an IRL version DignifAI before & afters.

"The experience of the last war shows that the Soviet Army and the people of the USSR do not want to fight for and will not fight for Communism. In 1941, Stalin had to address the people as "brothers and sisters" and proclaim a "patriotic war" for defense of the country, deliberately keeping silent about the Soviet regime and Communism. In November 1941, by order of the main Political Administration of the Red Army, a new banner was designed in Moscow for the guards divisions, with the innoscription: "For Country! For Stalin!" Immediately thereafter, however, on the orders of Stalin himself, Colonel-General Shcherbakov, chief of the Political Administration and member of the Politburo, ordered that only the innoscription, "For Country," should be left and that "For Stalin" should be painted out." (CIA, 1953)

Empowering women in 2023

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

― George Orwell, 1984

“Yeah, Briggs, but the best players will still play at their best.”

Some will, but many won’t. The elite will have to waste their time playing nobodies, which is disheartening. They won’t try as hard. Why bother? They won’t have to. Even if elite teams still gather most of the top players, the mass quantity of poor quality teams drags everything down.

If you install FOSS apps from F-Droid, upgrade to version 1.19.0 because it finally adds support for Android's unattended updates API introduced in Android 12. This means F-Droid can update apps in the background (so long as you first installed those apps through F-Droid).

The update also adds Themed Icon support, which is nice. Here's F-Droid's blog post on the release.
