Trying to explain what I believe as a leftist to people who have fallen down right-wing rabbit holes in the past is shockingly difficult, because you have to identify and call out all of the assumptions that they make about what you believe is possible and what you want for the world.
The "left-wing" strawperson they've created is an amalgam of things that literally cannot coexist in a coherent worldview, so you'll often assume that because View B is totally logically and practically inconsistent with View A, they won't just assume if you state View A that you also hold View B, but they do.
They'll be like "well, how can you say that when I know you believe [thing I have absolutely never agreed with in my life]?"
I don't know why it's so fucking hard to grasp that the right-wing grifters just lie and make stuff up and conflate wildly different groups with wildly different methods and motives.
Like, a person may no longer fully believe the right-wing shit, but they'll still cling to their image of a hypothetical leftist who is somehow simultaneously both a radical anarchist and an establishment Democrat.
Even when they are pointing at real problems, they can't assign the problem to the right source.

#Palestine / EBU Urges Israel to allow foreign journalists access to Gaza
The #EBU calls on the #Israeli government to unblock access to #Gaza for foreign journalists, who have been banned since October 2023. The EBU highlights the critical role of Palestinian journalists and the need for international media to support their efforts by reporting from inside Gaza. Unrestricted access is crucial for press freedom and independent reporting.
This appeal follows a similar request from the EBU last year. Israel’s participation in #Eurovision, despite restricting access to Gaza for foreign journalists, may be seen as inconsistent with the obligations of its membership. Shouldn’t this lead to KAN’s ineligibility to participate in the Eurovision, at least? You’d think that an ongoing genocide makes the absurd arrangements the EBU is insisting on seem somewhat redundant.
More than 70 media and civil society organizations, including the Associated Press, #BBC, #EBU and The New York Times, have signed an open letter urging Israel to give journalists independent access to Gaza. They highlight that no independent media access has been permitted since the start of the war, increasing pressure on local journalists and creating room for misinformation. The organizations emphasize that over 100 journalists have been killed since the war began, and those remaining face extreme deprivation.

"I have nothing to hide, so I don't see why I should care about privacy".
First, are you sure you have nothing to hide? Unless you're the most upstanding citizen who never absolutely never did anything that could be held against them, you DO have something to hide, whether you realize it or not.
Then there are things that aren't problematic for you NOW, but could become an issue in the future.
Look at how many people got flamed online for tweets or posts dating from 10 years ago. Or just look at how law evolves: you might be lucky enough to live in a country that's quite tolerant to every gender, sex, sexual orientation, skin color, religious or political views. For now. But as recent news clearly demonstrated , that's not necessarily something that's set in stone.
And finally, there's the hacking risk.
The second misconception you often hear is "privacy is already dead, don't bother, it's impossible to stay private nowadays
If you look online, you'll find a TON of ideas, guides, and videos that do just that: tell you what is private and what isn't. Privacy respecting alternatives are EVERYWHERE.
Privacy isn't dead, it's never been so alive!
The next misconception is one that's harder to dispel: "They give me great services for free, so I think the tradeoff is worth it""
If you think your privacy doesn't matter, I think you're wrong, but you are entitled to your opinion and you have every right to consider your data a good deal in exchange for free online services.
But let's consider this for a moment. First, the services aren't free. The price for these services is your data. And another thing to consider: you could get great services elsewhere, that do the same thing, would take you a few days to learn, and can also be free of charge.
"The cloud is just someone else's computer"
Of course, if you store your files on a company's server, then yes, they're stored on a computer that doesn't belong to you. That's actually true. But there's a huge gap between storing these files on a datacenter, and people in that datacenter being able to access everything.
While Google, Microsoft, or Apple might parse everything that gets into their servers, that doesn't mean it's true of every company. A lot of companies offer end to end encryption, which means that your data leaves your computer encrypted, and arrives on the server in the same form, never being legible by anyone in the process. Or you can have your own cloud stored on your own computer.

Let's begin with the GNU General Public License. The original GPL was created by Richard Stallman in 1989. It's what we call a copyleft license: all modifications made have to be redistributed under the same terms.
The GPL generally gives you the right to download and use, modify, and redistribute the code using the license, without any restrictions.
A lot of projects use the GPL, like the Linux kernel, most GNU software, Wordpress, Notepad++, or Git. Also, any project under the GPL can be sold, by the original creator, or anyone else, whether they modified the code or not, but the person who bought that software has every right to redistribute the code for free themselves.
Another much used license is the MIT license, with about 31% of FOSS projects using it in 2021. It's been created by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT, and it's also a free software license, that grants you the rights to copy, modify, merge, or distribute the code.
It's a very permissive license, much more flexible than the GPL, as it doesn't restrict what you can do with the code you're using, there is no copyleft or copyright included, so you can include code licensed under the MIT license in your proprietary software, and not redistribute your changes
The MIT license is used in some form or another by a LOT of projects, like the X11 display server, .Net Core, Angular, React, Node.js or jQuery.
On to the Apache license, also used a lot, by 14% of FOSS projects in 2021.
The Apache license is some form of middle ground between the GPL and the MIT license. It grants you all the free software freedoms of downloading, using, modifying, distributing, and selling software using the license, whether it's for personal, internal or commercial use.
The Apache license isn't a copyleft license like the GPL, which means your modifications don't have to use the Apache License, BUT the original work must still be published under the Apache license, and every modification has to be labeled clearly.
The Apache license is used by Android, the Apache HTTP server, Kubernetes, or the Open 3D Engine.
Then we have the BSD License. It was created by the Berkeley Source Distribution project, known as BSD, originally in 1969. There are multiple variants, but most grant the same freedoms to download, use, modify, redistribute the software, as long as the copyright notice and license are included.
The BSD license doesn't force any modification to be distributed under the terms of the BSD license.
But licences don't only apply to code. You can also license your creative work, like a book, a video, a drawing, any form of photo, or art, basically anything you create can be covered by a license. And one of the most well known and used is the Creative Commons.
There are 6 types of that license:
First, you have the basic "Attribution". Then you have the Share Alike license, the Non derivative license, the Non Commercial license, the Non commercial Share Alike, and the Non Commercial, share alike, non derivative license.

J. L. Mackie, Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong adlı kitabında ahlaki değerlerin nesnelliğine karşı meşhur “tuhaflık argümanını” öne sürer. Argümanın hem metafiziksel bir yönü hem de epistemolojik bir yönü vardır. Mackie şöyle yazar:
Eğer nesnel değerler olsaydı, o zaman bunlar evrendeki her şeyden tamamen farklı, çok garip türden varlıklar, nitelikler veya ilişkiler olurlardı. Buna bağlı olarak, eğer onların farkında olsaydık, bu diğer her şeyi bilmek için kullandığımız sıradan yollardan tamamen farklı bir ahlaki algı veya sezgi yetisi aracılığıyla gerçekleşmek zorunda olurdu. (s. 38)
Mackie’nin iddiası ne nesnel değerler gibi tuhaf varlıklara ne de garip, özel bir ahlaki bilgi yetisine inanmak için iyi bir nedene sahip olmadığımız yönündedir. Değerleri, dünyadaki belirli olaylara verdiğimiz öznel tepkiler açısından analiz ederek ahlak ile ilgili açıklanması gereken her şeyi açıklayabiliriz. Ockham’ın usturası da bu yaklaşımı alternatifine kıyasla, alternatifin “tuhaflığı” nedeniyle, desteklemektedir.
Doğal olarak Mackie’nin yanıldığını düşünsem de yine de “değer” kelimesini bu bağlamda sevmiyorum. “Değer”, biri için neyin değerli olduğunu veya değerli kılınmış olduğunu ima ettiğinden, “nesnel değerlerden” bahsetmek gerçekten garip geliyor. X, birisinin ona değer verdiği ölçüde “değere” sahipse, o zaman birinin mantıken X’e değer vermesi gerektiğini söylesek bile, onun değer sahibi olma durumu bize bağlı görünüyor. Ve bu durumda, en azından, değeri olan ama hiçbir şekilde bizim değer vermemize bağlı olmadan değer sahibi olan bir şey fikrinin kulağa neden “tuhaf” geldiği kesinlikle anlaşılabilirdir.
John Leslie Mackie (1917- 1981) Söylenmesi gereken şey, iyilik ve kötülüğün dünyanın nesnel özellikleri olduğudur. Bazı standart örneklerimi kullanırsak, kalın ve derin kökleri olan bir ağaç iyi bir ağaçken zayıf ve hastalıklı kökleri olan bir ağaç kötü bir ağaçtır; dört bacağı olan ve koşuşturup fındık toplayan bir sincap, bu anlamda iyi bir sincap iken, bir bacağı eksik olan veya fındık toplama arzusu olmayan bir sincap kötü bir sincaptır; bir cetvelle yavaşça ve dikkatli bir şekilde çizilen bir Öklid üçgeni iyi iken, eğimli bir şekilde çizilen bir Öklid üçgeni kötü bir üçgendir (örnekler çoğaltılabilir). Ana fikir, bir türün iyi veya kötü bir örneğinin, türün özünü veya doğasını daha az veya daha fazla uygun bir şekilde örneklendirebilen bir şey oluşudur. Bu tek başına ahlaki iyiliği veya kötülüğü gerektirmez, fakat rasyonel hayvanların kendine özgü rasyonelliğini ve özgür iradesini işin içine kattığımız zaman ahlaki iyilik ve kötülük de işin içine dahil olur. (Hikâyenin tamamı için Aquinas’ın 5. bölümüne bakınız.)
Bununla birlikte, bunu metafiziksel olarak anlamlandırabilmek için, çoğu modern filozofun elbette desteklemeyeceği, Aristotelesçi biçimsel ve nihai nedenler gibi bir şeye ihtiyacımız vardır. Ve bence bu, Mackie’nin argümanının birçok çağdaş okuyucuya neden güçlü göründüğünü anlayabilmek adına çok önemlidir. Tartışma sırasında açıkça söylenmeyen şeyler de söylenenler kadar önemlidir. Ve söylenmeyen şey, “nesnel” doğal dünyanın esasen Galileo, Descartes ve halefleri tarafından tanıtılan anti-teleolojik, anti Aristotelesçi “mekanistik” bir şekilde anlaşılması gerektiğidir. (Bu entelektüel devrim hakkındaki hikâyenin tamamı için The Last Superstition’a bakın. Elbette bunu blogda da defalarca kez tartıştım.)
Paradigmatik olarak gerçek olan şeylerin, fiziğin yöntemleriyle araştırılabilecek şeyler olduklarını savunduğunuzu düşünün. Yani maddi dünyanın katı tahmin ve kontrole duyarlı olan, tamamen niceliksel yönlerinin ve matematiksel bir tasvirinin gerçek olan şeylerin paradigmatik örneklerini kapsayabildiğini düşünün. Renk, ses, koku, tat, ısı, soğukluk ve genel olarak niteliksel özellikler, sağduyunun düşündüğü şekilde nesnel gerçekliğin özellikleri değil, nesnel gerçeklik algımızın özellikleridir. Orada var olan yalnızca, yüzey yansıtma özellikleri, sıkıştırma dalgaları ve benzeri şeyler cinsinden yeniden tanımlanmış renk, ses ve benzeri özelliklerdir. Bu görüşe göre ne teleoloji ne de hedefe yönelmişlik (Aristotelesçi nihai neden) dünyanın gerçek bir özelliğidir. Ereklere ve amaçlara sahip olmamıza rağmen (ya da öyle görünür) fizikçe tanımlanmış hiçbir şey bunlara sahip değildir. Dünyada gördüğümüz türden şeyler arasındaki sabit ayrımlar (Aristotelesçilerin maddesel biçim olarak adlandırdıklarındaki farkı yansıtan farklılıklar) esasında yoktur. Su, taş, ağaçlar, kurtçuklar, köpekler, kediler ve insanlar nihayetinde aynı şeyin nispeten yüzeysel olarak farklı şekillerde düzenlenmiş halinden başka bir şey değildir. Kısaca, dünyanın doğru tanımının, tür bakımından birbirinden farklı; nitelikler ve anlamlar bakımından zengin olarak algıladığımız her şeyin aynı kuru tabakanın devinim halindeki, sonu veya amacı olmayan, ancak şuursuzca hareket eden renksiz, kokusuz, sessiz, tatsız, anlamsız parçacıklarının yanıltıcı görüntüsü olduğu antik atomcu düşüncenin modern varyasyonu tarafından verildiğini varsayalım.
Nagel’in Mind and Cosmos’u üzerine yazdığım yazı dizisinde belirttiğim gibi, çağdaş natüralistler genellikle fiziğin bize doğal dünya hakkındaki bütün gerçekleri vermediğini kabul etmeye isteklidirler, gerçi ben zaten böyle bir imtiyazda bulunarak ima edilenin -natüralistler bunu fark etseler de etmeseler de- Aristotelesçi, düalist, idealist, ya da bir başka natüralist olmayan madde fikrinin sonuçta doğru olduğunun kabulü olduğunu öne sürmüştüm. Öyle olsa bile, çoğu natüralist (Nagel’in kendisi bir istisnadır) indirgeyici görüş karşıtlarına vermeye hazır oldukları diğer tavizler ne olursa olsun, Aristotelesçi nihai nedenlerden ve benzer kavramlardan kaçınmaya kesinlikle isteklidir.
Bununla birlikte, geniş bir ölçüde natüralist metafiziğin ışığında bakıldığında, değer, özellikle iyilik ve kötülük dahil olmak üzere, gerçekten de çok “tuhaf” görünmeye mecburdur. İyi ve kötü bir ağaç veya sincap örneği arasındaki fark bile, dünyanın nesnel bir özelliği olarak algılandığı zaman tuhaf görünecektir. Çünkü buradaki iyilik veya kötülük, indirgenemez derecede teleolojik ve özcüdür. Sırf bu indirgenemez belirgin türden şeylerin işaret ettiği amaçlar yüzünden hastalıklı kökler, bir ağacı ve bir bacağın eksikliği, bir sincabı kötü bir örnek yapar. Her ikisi de nihayetinde “gerçekten” aynı türden şeyler ve içinde bulunacak hiçbir teleolojinin olmadığı bir tür şey ise- diyelim ki ikisi de “sahiden” amaçsız, sadece hareket halindeki parçacıklarsa- o zaman farklı “ağaç benzeri” ve “sincap benzeri” varlıklar, tam olarak doğanın nesnel özellikleri değildir. Onlar olsa olsa faydalı kurgulardır. İyiliğin ve kötülüğün -renk, ses, koku vb gibi, teleoloji ve anlam gibi- bu dünyada gerçekten kendisinde olduğu gibi gördüğü bir şeyden ziyade, zihnin dış, doğal dünyaya yansıttığı bir şey olarak kabul edilmesi çok daha makul görünmektedir.
Benim görüşüme göre Mackie’nin iddiasını etkili bir şekilde çürütmek, öncelikle, dolaylı olarak kabul ettiği natüralizmi veya bilimciliği çürütmeyi gerektirir. Bunu yapmanın özellikle temelde Aristotelesçi bir doğa felsefesine geri dönmeyi gerektirdiğini savunuyorum. Bunun dışındaki bütün görüşler, Mackie’nin argümanı güçlü olmaya devam edeceği için nesnel gerçeklik hakkında bildiğimiz başka her şeyden büyük ölçüde farklı ve kopuk görünen “değeri” – daha doğrusu iyiliği ve kötülüğü- kabul etmeyi bırakmaya mecburdur.
İşte Grisez ve Finnis’in geleneksel doğal hukuk teorisyenlerinin Aristotelesçi biçimsel ve nihai nedenlere olan bağlılığından büyük ölçüde kaçınan, Humecu “olgu/değer ikiliğini” kabul eden, ve göz önünde bulundurulan insan doğasının metafiziğinden ziyade, doğal hukuk teorisini, failin öznel bakış açısından ele alınan pratik akıl açıklamasına dayandırmaya çalışan “yeni doğal hukuk teorisi” nin etkisizliğini gördüğümüz önemli bir alan. Bu görüş maçı Mackie’nin kazanmasına neden olmasa bile, bunu kıl payı yapabilmektedir. Şimdi, yeni doğal hukukçu Robert P. George’un, In Defense of Natural Law adlı kitabının birinci bölümünde Mackie’ye verdiği yanıtı düşünün. Okuduğum kadarıyla, George “tuhaflık argümanına” karşı iki temel argüman sunuyor. Birincisi, Mackie ve benzer düşünen düşünürler bu özelliklerin en azından bazılarının gerçekliğine dolaylı olarak bağlı olsalar da gerçekliğin eşit derecede “tuhaf” görünen ve doğal dünyayla bağdaştırılması zor görünen başka yönlerinin olduğunu belirtmektir – George bilinç, anlam ve nedensellikten; ve mantıkta doğruluğun ve geçerliliğin normatif statüsünden bahsetmektedir.
Şimdi George’a natüralist bir bakış açısından bakıldığı zaman, bu özelliklerin iyilik ve kötülükten daha az “tuhaf” olmadığı hususunda katılıyorum. Ancak, Mackie’yi çürütmek için salt bunu belirtmek yeterliymiş gibi buna dikkat çekmek doğru olmaz. Çünkü Mackie, Ethics: Inventing Right and Wrong adlı kitabında bu tür bir itirazı bizzat kendisi değerlendirir ve buna bir cevabı olduğunu düşünür (George’un değinmediği bir cevap). Cevabı, nesnel değerler kadar “tuhaf” görünen herhangi bir fenomenin, günün sonunda ya Mackie’nin metafiziksel saygınlığı olduğunu kabul edeceği bir şekilde analiz edilebileceğini, ya da bu olmazsa onların da nesnel değerlerle birlikte tuhaflık argümanının hedefleri arasına dahil edilebileceğini öne sürmektir (s. 39).
Alex Rosenberg’in The Atheist’s Guide to Reality’sinin okuyucularının bildiği gibi, bazı çağdaş filozofların natüralizmle bağdaşan bir görüş savunabilmek için fazlasıyla “tuhaf” olarak niteleyip yok saymaya istekli olabilecekleri şeylerin neredeyse hiçbir sınırı yoktur. Rosenberg’in kitabı hakkındaki bir dizi gönderimde, sonuçta ortaya çıkan konumun tutarsız olduğunu uzun uzadıya tartıştım, ancak bilinç, niyetlilik ve benzer şeylere dair indirgemeci ve eleyici açıklamalarla ilgili sorunlara işaret etmek yeterli değildir. Bilinçli deneyimlerin, kasıtlılığın, değerin ve benzerlerinin diğer yönlerden natüralistik olarak açıklanabilen varlıklar olan insanlara iliştirildiği Dekartçı bir düalizmi benimsemek bile yeterli değildir. (Gerçekten de, yeni doğal hukukçular Dekartçı düalizmin ne kadar sorunlu olduğu hakkında konuşmaya devam etmektedir.) Tek bir gezegendeki küçük bir doğa tarihi şeridinden ayrı olarak tüm doğal dünyanın tamamen yukarıda açıklanan doğanın mekanik açıklamasıyla açıklanabileceğinin arsayımına dahi izin verdiğiniz sürece, büyük ölçüde farklı türden özelliklerin -nesnel değerlerinonları kavramak için yeni bir bilişsel yetenekle birlikte aniden, çok yakın jeolojik zamanda tek bir türde, ortaya çıktığını varsaymanız “tuhaf” görünecektir. Nesnel değeri bir tür bilişsel yanılsama olarak ele almak, genel arka plan metafiziği göz önüne alındığında daha makul görünecektir.
George’un Mackie’ye verdiği ikinci yanıt da aynı dezavantajdan muzdariptir. George, nesnel ahlaki değerin varlığının, yaşadığımız ahlaki deneyimimizi daha iyi anlamlandırmasından yola çıkan bir “en iyi açıklama çıkarımı argümanı” önermektedir. Bu doğrudur, ancak genel olarak natüralist bir metafizik kesin kabul edilirse, kendi başına çok az etkiye sahiptir. Çünkü natüralist her zaman ahlaki tecrübemizin, hesaba katılması gereken tüm verilerin yalnızca küçük bir bölümünü sağladığını söylemektedir. Ve eğer doğal düzenin geri kalanını yukarıda özetlenen mekanik şeylerle bir şekilde açıklanabiliyorsa ve nesnel değerlerin varlığı ve onları bilme özel yetisinin işleyişi bu resimde tamamen gizemli görünüyorsa, o halde eldeki verilerin tamamını ele alırsak bu şeylerin varlıkları aleyhinde bir sonuç ortaya çıkmaktadır. Mackie’nin yazdığı gibi:
Ahlaki nitelikleri, doğal niteliklerin tespit edilmeleriyle nedensel olarak ilişkilenebilecek, söz konusu doğal niteliğin nedensel olarak etki edebileceği türden öznel tepkiler olarak görmemiz halinde durum ne kadar da basit ve anlamlandırılabilir bir hal alırdı? (p. 41)
Zihni, anlamı ve değeri doğal düzene düzgün bir şekilde uydurmak, sadece insan doğasını değil, genel olarak doğal düzeni yeniden düşünmeyi gerektirir. Özellikle, Grisez ve Finnis’in kesip attığı NeoSkolastik anlayışın dahil olduğu doğa felsefesindeki neo-Aristotelesçi projeye geri dönüşü gerektirir. Nagel, metafizikteki neo-Aristotelesçi yaklaşımıyla bunu dolaylı olarak kabul etmektedir. Değişim ve nedensellik gibi beşerî olmayan dünyadaki şeyleri doğru bir şekilde anlayamız için her halükârda doğal düzeni bağımsız bir şekilde yeniden düşünmemiz gerektiğinden (Aristotelesçilerin iddia ettiği gibi) Aristotelesçi kavramlara başvurmamız zaten gereklidir. Böyle bir yeniden düşünmenin haricinde, nesnel değeri onaylayanlar, Mackie’nin Josie Cotton tarzı meydan okumasına her zaman açık olacaklardır.

je n(ai rien contre Dick, bine au contraire. C'est ton choix de citation que je critique.
En philo, Dieu ça ne veut plus rien dire de religieux. C'est un machin pour dire un rapport spirituel au réel. Et je n'ai pas choisi cette citation de Dick. J'ai choisi une des citations de la vidéo. Cela dit, je l'aime bien. Mais je ne mets en effet rien de religieux sous le nom de Dieu. Si tu ne veux pas dire conscience, tu peux dire énergie. Celle de l'anti-enthropie qui resiste, un temps, à sa dispersion.
Je n’ai rien contre la conscience, qui ne signifie ni dieu, ni énergie, pour moi. Par contre, dire que dieu n’a aucun rapport avec la religion… cela a rapport certain avec une croyance religieuse. Sans religion, le mot n’existerait pas Quand à l’entropie, si elle se limitait à l’humanité sans détruire tout ce qui l’entoure, je n’aurais rien contre.
Hey @WeirdWriter. Thanks for the re-blog, moron. It's appreciated. It's not about not caring or thinking it's anti-accessibility. You are a presumptuous little twit, and really should stop assuming things when you apparently don't know your head from your asshole. I get it; you're an author, so you think your opinion counts more than everyone else's. It doesn't. I'm guessing your books likely suck as badly as your personality does. Thanks for the laugh though. It's appreciated. I'd try to explain why I'm okay with AI, but I get the feeling you're not smart enough to understand, so I won't waste my time. You're a hilarious little idiot though, so you've got that going for you.
It is about caring. Just because you and I are blind, that doesn’t mean we live in a blind vacuum. Other social justice issues matter.I forgot to thank you for giving me a platform to speak about broader Social issues, so thank you for giving me the opportunity to educate others!
LOL...No offense, but you seem like a nobody, so won't really be educating anyone. Most people on here, Blind or sighted, I've seen on other platforms for years. You're just some random author whose post I saw and happen to disagree with completely. Keep up with the times. AI is the future, like it or not. Yes, human narration is superior, and I'll always take it if I can get it, but I won't turn my nose up at an AI-generated audio book. If these people supposedly care about sustaining themselves and making a living, they'd find a way for up-and-coming authors to hire them. I do have a major problem with AI being used in certain things, such as music that's actually for sale...Nothing wrong with using AI platforms to create tunes, share them among friends, and play them. But AI of artists who are dead or can no longer sing, I can't get behind. Even the Randy Travis thing, which did get his blessing, was weird to me. But again, we don't get to decide who uses AI and what they use it for. That's where you come off as a presumptuous, egotistical ass not to be taken seriously...Acting as if you're some authority on the subject and as if your opinion should be taken as gospel from the world at large.
"Tis a Mistake to think this Fault [tyranny] is proper only to Monarchies; other Forms of Government are liable to it, as well as that.

Honour to the Combative Memory of Snizana Paraskevaidou
On the 3rd of May 2025, at 5 am in the morning, Snizana Paraskevaidou lost her life because of the premature detonation of an explosive device she was placing outside a branch of the National Bank of Greece in Thessaloniki. The tragic death of this comrade lead to a widespread media terror-lust and so far, two arrests and the search of the cell of imprisoned anarchist comrade Fotis Tziotzis. We recognise and remember Snizana as a fighter and a heroine who died in battle, whose name and life is not forgotten.
In the underbelly of Thessaloniki, life is a brutal struggle. It was for Snizana who came from a Georgian background that emanated from the working-class districts of the city, that emanates the everyday war that we all face there, to climb out of the poverty of the streets. She had the courage to make the fear change sides against the state, against the cops and the wealthy.
Our memories of her are of a female comrade with strength who we met when she was supporting the comrades in courts and in prisons or the moments on the barricades where she emboldened all of us. She was there in Exarcheia rioting until we dropped exhausted in countless battles over a decade. One moment we will always remember is her alongside us all armed to the teeth on the roof of the Thessaloniki university for another 6th December.
It was no surprise to us when she was imprisoned for possession of a kalashnikov. She knew how to do the essential, how to take the brutality of life and weaponise it. She had the ability to see with open eyes, and she always had time for others, she always cared for fellow comrades. Snizana always had an ear for the next moment of attack, which was directed by her rage against this existent system. An insumountable rage that never compromises, that never snitches, that goes face-to-face with authority with a dagger gripped in the teeth. Even if she fell in the act, she will live on in us.
We didn’t see her for some years. We parted two ways on those streets where we met but we will never let her be forgotten because the insurrection continues. She has inspired us with the same rage to continue it.
For the immediate attack against capitalism, the state and all forms of domination.
Judge grants DOGE staffers access to Treasury data oann.com/newsroom/judge-grants… A federal judge gave the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to the Treasury Department’s financial information on Tuesday.
“Constitutions are violated, and it would be absurd to expect the federal government to enforce the Constitution against itself. If the very federal judges the Constitution was partly intended to restrain were the ones exclusively charged with enforcing it, then “America possesses only the effigy of a Constitution.” The states, the very constituents of the Union, had to do the enforcing.”

Ok, when you're wrong, you're wrong. And I was completely wrong about GNOME and touchscreens. In my previous video, I blasted GNOME for being barely usable with touchscreens, because, well, it was, in my experience.
Turns out, I didn't go deep enough. This was all Ubuntu's fault.
GNOME
I went with Fedora 41 and its very default version of GNOME. On Fedora, I had tiling working by just dragging windows to the edges, something that Ubuntu didn't have, likely due to their own tiling extension they added, that doesn't work well.
I also could long press on elements of the desktop or inside of apps, and I got a stable right click menu that didn't disappear after I lifted my finger, again, something that didn't work inside Ubuntu, a-even with all the drivers installed.
I also could open menubars inside of apps that have them. What didn't work though, was the onscreen keyboard inside of KDE applications.
Another thing that didn't work on Ubuntu, but did in Fedora is swiping on the app grid, anywhere.
Plasma Mobile
I used Fedora's Plasma mobile spin for this one, and It's a very good experience. You basically have a simple app grid, with mobile optimized applications. They all open full screen, and you have an Android like button row to handle all of that: the square to open a lit of all installed apps, that you can swipe up to dismiss and close, the plasma logo to go back to the app grid, and the close button / fold keyboard button.
Swiping from the top edge opens quick settings, that let you access a LOT of the settings you'd need, it's great, apart from the scrolling test inside each one which makes it look very busy. I guess it's aimed more at smartphones, and doesn't resize that well on bigger devices.
Default apps are perfectly sized and suited for touch, with clear interfaces, easy to use, big buttons, it's nice. Opening full size desktop apps also works well, with menubars even being resized and enlarged, although for large menus, it makes it a bit annoying to navigate.
Phosh
Phosh is installable on fedora, so that's what I did, and I could just pick it as an option from the login manager. I won't go over it for too long because it's basically just the GNOME shell with very small adaptations, and it's clearly not meant for laptops / big screens. So, you start in an app grid, which is worse than GNOME's default grid, at least on a big screen, with less padding, and a background that isn't blurred or darkened, meaning legibility is very low. These apps don't open fullscreen, so you can still tile them, which is a plus, and they're mostly all just the default GNOME apps in there.
After that, swiping from the top edge of the screen brings the notifications and quick settings that occupy the entire screen, which is unnecessary àon a big screen like this, but coherent on a smartphone. These toggles can be expanded using the mobile settings app that phosh comes with.
Conclusion
So, first, mea maxima culpa for GNOME: it is indeed very good, it's just htat Ubuntu destroys its touch capabilities with changes they make to GNOME. Second, Plasma Mobile is really nice, even on 2 in 1s, although I still prefer the regular KDE Plasma for a 2 in 1?. Plasma mobile is excellent for tablets, and presumable for phones, if they mange to run it as competently and smoothly as this laptop does. Finally, phosh is unsuitable IMO, for 2 in 1s, it just worse than the default vanilla GNOME, but it looks ok for smartphones.
A woman I know was told by doctors there was nothing more they could do for her cancer... She started taking high dosages of vitamin C, Ivermectin, and fenbendazole and her cancer has been stopped in it's tracks. The doctors are stunned.
It's parasites...
They let it fester and torture you with chemo... It's parasites.
