I spent too much time thinking being a #kernel #dev for a #bsd project was like paramount or opus for coding in the *nix world.

Glad to be free of that idea in my brain only I planted there as a teen. Sure, I *could* move forward with being a kernel programmer if I pushed for it, but just a source of #joy

I do appreciate the OpenBSD, NetBSD, and even FreeBSD (I say even because I never really used FreeBSD in a serious context like OpenBSD and NetBSD), but I can do that without having an active part in it and still be happy letting that unhealthy bucket-list item expire.

I don't need to prove myself to anyone, I've done enough in my life so far.

At this point in life, I've definitely honed in on what brings me joy and what doesn't with technology. My career is stable and in-demand, I don't need to always be improving it.

#Retrocomputing is where it is at for me now. It's still flexing the same muscles but with greater challenges for near zero functional purpose.

Why would anyone purposefully code 8-bit computers with 64-bit ones exist now with more capabilities with hardware found everywhere for next to nothing?! 😀

My whole job is constantly reloading five potential responses to everything I have to read to respondents. The whole trick is never missing a beat so people don't begin to develop doubt or begin critical investigation. You don't want a survey respondent to think about anything other than what you're asking them. Popping the bubble is about ten times more work to deal with.

Most people don't have a clue I'm handling them.

Women who claimed Brigitte Macron was born a man are CLEARED of defamation

Me: The article sucked. You would think the Appeals Court provided some legal justification for their ruling, but all the article had to say was this:

"Judges sitting at the Paris Appeal Court on Thursday ruled that Amandine Roy, a 53-year-old clairvoyant, (pictured) and Natacha Rey had every legal right to make the sulphurous allegations".

Today in Labor History July 10, 1894: The Pullman Rail Car strike was put down by 14,000 federal and state troops. Over the course of the strike, soldiers killed 70 American Railway Union (ARU) members. Eugene Debs and many others were imprisoned during the strike for violating injunctions. Debs founded the ARU in 1893. The strike began, in May, as a wildcat strike, when George Pullman laid off employees and slashed wages, while maintaining the same high rents for his company housing in the town of Pullman, as well as the excessive rates he charged for gas and water. During the strike, Debs called for a massive boycott against all trains that carried Pullman cars. While many adjacent unions opposed the boycott, including the conservative American Federation of Labor, the boycott nonetheless affected virtually all train transport west of Detroit. Debs also called for a General Strike, which Samuel Gompers and the AFL blocked. At its height, over 200,000 railway workers walked off the job, halting dozens of lines, and workers set fire to buildings, boxcars and coal cars, and derailed locomotives. Clarence Darrow successfully defended Debs in court against conspiracy charges, arguing that it was the railways who met in secret and conspired against their opponents. However, they lost in their Supreme Court trial for violating a federal injunction.

By the 1950s, the town of Pullman had been incorporated into the city of Chicago. Debs became a socialist after the strike, running for president of the U.S. five times on the Socialist Party ticket, twice from prison. In 1905, he cofounded the radical IWW, along with Lucy Parsons, Mother Jones, Big Bill Haywood and Irish revolutionary James Connolly. In 1894, President Cleveland designated Labor Day a federal holiday, in order to detract from the more radical May 1st, which honored the Haymarket martyrs and the struggle for the 8-hour day. Legislation for the holiday was pushed through Congress six days after the Pullman strike ended, with the enthusiastic support of Gompers and the AFL.

Επίθεση του ισραηλινού λόμπι κατά Ελληνοαυστραλής δημοσιογράφου

info-war.gr/epithesi-toy-israi…

Μια από τις πιο αξιόπιστες και ανεξάρτητες φωνές στην Αυστραλία, αυτή της δημοσιογράφου και πολιτικής σχολιάστριας Μαίρης Κωστακίδη, μπήκε στο στόχαστρο του σιωνιστικού μπλοκ. Με εμπειρία δεκαετιών στη διεθνή ειδησεογραφία, η πρώην βασική παρουσιάστρια του SBS World News Australia, Μαίρη Κωστακίδη αξιοποίησε το δημόσιο βήμα της για να καλύψει με εντιμότητα τις εξελίξεις στη Γάζα, ενημέρωση που έλειπε εμφανώς από τα κυρίαρχα αυστραλιανά και διεθνή μέσα.

Η στάση της αυτή δεν θα έμενε απαρατήρητη για πολύ. Η Σιωνιστική Ομοσπονδία της Αυστραλίας ξεκίνησε νομικές διαδικασίες εις βάρος της στο Ομοσπονδιακό Δικαστήριο, καταγγέλλοντάς την για «προσβλητική συμπεριφορά» σύμφωνα με το άρθρο 18C του Νόμου περί Φυλετικών Διακρίσεων του 1975.

Η υπόθεση της Μαίρης Κωστακίδη εξετάζεται σε μια εποχή όπου η εξίσωση αντισιωνισμού με αντισημιτισμό χάνει έδαφος στη συλλογική συνείδηση, ειδικά μετά την πρόσφατη δικαστική νίκη της δημοσιογράφου Αντουανέτ Λατούφ. Η απόλυσή της από τον τηλεοπτικό σταθμό ABC το 2023 αναγνωρίστηκε ως αποτέλεσμα της πίεσης του ισραηλινού λόμπι, όταν εκείνη τοποθετήθηκε επικριτικά κατά του Ισραήλ για την επίθεση στη Γάζα.

The World is SICK AND TIRED of paying TAXES to ELITE PEDOPHILES that NEVER FACE JUSTICE.

WE’RE NOT LETTING THIS GO.

Yes, we are still talking about Epstein.

We are still talking about 9/11.

We are still talking about Hunter’s laptop.

We are still talking about JFK, RFK, MLK, USS Liberty, Covid Vaccine, the list goes on.

Horrific crimes perpetrated against humanity that have not been resolved or for which no one has been held accountable.

Of course, Texas is a disaster, but that does not lessen the need for accountability.

Does your mortgage stop because a bank financially collapses?

Where is the appointment of a new 9/11 Commission?

I, for one, am never letting this go. I don’t care if Trump himself is on the list…I’m never letting it go until Justice is served.

What we need is a full investigation into the connections between Robert Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, Gislaine and Isabel Maxwell are obviously a part of something bigger. If we have people working for Intel agencies, if it be CIA, MI6, ASIO, or Mossad, they cannot be allowed to break the law within our communities without answering for their crimes. Just because an individual marks something classified should never shield them from scrutiny forever.

We have to look at the why behind the compromise.

Why was it allowed to happen in the U.S. Virgin Islands, under U.S. jurisdiction?

Why did intelligence agencies stand down—or even participate?

Why did so many Hollywood elites and political insiders go back to that island again and again?

What laws were passed, what policies were influenced, and who was paid off as a result?

The list of actors, musicians, politicians, and billionaires connected to Epstein is endless, and most of them are still free, still rich, and still making decisions that affect your life.

This wasn’t just blackmail—it was engineered leverage to reshape the world.

🇺🇸 We’re done paying taxes to elite pedophiles and compromised politicians.

We want names. We want indictments. We want justice.

We’re not letting this go.

NEVER FORGET WHAT THEY DID.

Die Diskussion, die Frau Klöckner mit dem Verbot der Regenbogenfahne ausgelöst hat, nimmt absurde Züge an und wirft die Frage auf: Wann übertriebene Neutralität zur Unterstützung der Rechten wird?


Siehe: taz.de/Hausordnung-des-Bundest…

Also Regenbogen 🌈 im Abgeordnetenbüro ist verboten. Ein Bild von Marx oder Bismarck an der Wand ist ebenfalls ein politisches Statement oder nur ein Bild. Dabei gehen uns aus Unkenntnis einige Symbole durch die Lappen wie die blaue Kornblume: taz.de/Rechte-Vereinnahmung-de…

Ein Strauß mit blauen Kornblumen auf dem Schreibtisch ist also schon ein Symbol. Es wurden auch schon Abgeordnete mit einer Anstecknadel gesehen, die eine blaue Kornblume zeigte.

Aber davon hat Frau Klöckner keine Ahnung. Sie fokussiert sich auf den Regenbogen, der ursprünglich für Frieden steht und gegen Frieden haben nur böse Menschen etwas.

Wie so häufig in der Geschichte werden vermeintlich linke Symbole verboten und auf dem rechten Auge ist man blind.

Neutralität ist was anderes!

Alors que le Québec ne représente que 22 % de la population canadienne, ses citoyens et ses citoyennes ont été la cible d’environ 90 % des arrêts de travail au pays au cours des trois dernières années. La quasi-totalité de ces arrêts a été des grèves.

Si vous avez l’impression que les grèves sont de plus en plus courantes ces dernières années, vous n’avez pas la berlue.

En 2023, le Québec a enregistré un record de 691 arrêts de travail⁠, dont la quasi-totalité a pris la forme de grèves, fracassant ainsi le record précédent de 384 arrêts de travail établi en 1974 à l’époque de la commission Cliche.

En 2024, le record a été battu de nouveau, avec 759 arrêts de travail recensés dans la province. Et pour les deux premiers mois de 2025 seulement, les Québécois et les Québécoises en ont déjà subi 378.

@kravemir @m It's a glib social media toot, so there's that.

I think the biggest problems currently facing humans (specifically in the general region I call home; there are others elsewhere) are hollowing of democratic society, and the climate disaster. In any society where money can be used to buy influence (which is effectively any society that has money at all - the buying of influence can range from running influence campaigns, to outright trying to buy an election, to buying a major medium like eg. what Musk did with Twitter), billionaires are almost definitionally an anti-democratic force: They have enormously more power than any other individual, but they have no democratic mandate behind that power. They can (and often do) make decisions that have huge impacts on many other people's lives, with the affected people having zero influence - this is *the opposite* of democratic governance, and people subjected to seemingly random whims of billionaires understandably become disillusioned in democratic norms. (This is one, but not the only, cause of the rise of modern fascism.)

Billionaires generally lead disproportionately energy- (and emissions-) intensive lives - by 2024, the emissions caused by a single billionaire in 90 minutes was about equal to the lifetime emissions of an average person (see oxfam.org/en/press-releases/bi…). Many of them have fortunes directly tied up in the fossil fuel economy (or in activities that are powered by fossil fuels) and actively resist legislative action that tries to curb emissions. Furthermore, the enormous fortunes commanded by billionaires will *only* be used to combat said problems if a billionaire chooses to - which they often won't, because both are directly against their current financial interest. If all those resources were directly available for eg. climate change mitigation, decarbonization and economic aid for the global south (rather than eg. funding private jets, recreational space tourism and renting an entire city centre for a wedding), we'd all be in a lot less dire situation than we are, I think.

@m thanks for the elaborate reply.

However, basically it boils to two core problems:

- power being in wrong hangs (who doesn't (need to) care),
- wealth and consumption unevenly distributed (to the point of wasteful vanity by very privileged people).

This is present in capitalism. However, I don't think, or at least not persuaded that any (sustainable) political system is immune to these issues.

I maybe reply more later. This is interesting topic, food for though.

in reply to Miroslav Kravec

mastodon - Link to source

datarama

@kravemir @m Those problems have been present in every political system ever practiced, and I'm not sure they can ever be *eliminated* - this is my main beef with "utopian" schools of left-wing politics, in fact. Even in an anarchist commune, you'd very likely see informal power (and luxury excess) accruing to the most charismatic anarchists. You have to build specific mechanisms to mitigate these problems, and pretending they don't exist is an effective way to make sure they don't get mitigated.

(I think anyone who has spent significant time in an actual anarchist activist community has probably seen a variation of this play out. I certainly have. "We don't have any leader, and we all agree exactly who our leader isn't!", to riff off Terry Pratchett.)

But I do think they can be substantially reduced (and yes, capitalism is an obstacle to that). At present, a lower-hanging fruit for doing this (lower-hanging than The Glorious Revolution That Fixes Everything, at least) would be some form of income or wealth cap that effectively makes it impossible for any individual to become a billionaire.

Anthony

The level of wealth and income inequality in the United States today surpasses the then-absurd extremes of the Gilded Age of a century ago. Sure, unevan distribution happens, but this particular neoliberal political system effects a wealth pump upwards into the hands of a very few individuals at an unprecedented rate and scale that cannot be sustained. Billionaires are a visible symptom of the pathology. According to Peter Turchin, this wealth pump will almost surely result in a catastrophe of some kind that could end up being bloody; even if you don't believe Turchin's theories, it'll certainly result in unacceptable mass immiseration (and arguably already has). A smarter system would employ government power and resources to distribute wealth more evenly and fairly, something we used to do in the United States but stopped doing from the 1970s onward.

As for power being in the wrong hands, there are no right hands for power to be in. There are no special anointed ones who are immune to the corrupting influence of power. Power too should be distributed, to reduce this risk.

#statist #vs #plebs

Our woke-lefty politicians, in their grand crusade against overtourism — oh that smells like some eco-friendly suit-and-tie spiel, all neat and tidy — are actually just throwing class contempt right in our faces.

Their dream? That Bob, Ginette, and Roger stay quietly in their living rooms watching slideshows like back in the ’70s, not a hair out of place, no wild adventures.

Planes? They should remain a private club: for those who know how to behave, who know how to spend taxpayers’ money without causing a fuss.

They don’t want to see those yokels in Crocs, those savages clapping like clowns when the plane lands in Tokyo or Mexico.

And above all, absolutely no ugly selfies in front of the Mona Lisa — it degrades art, it embarrasses the Louvre.

In short, the high society of political correctness wants to keep tourism for their well-born friends, while the rest… well, they can watch their slideshows and stay well-behaved.

L’avion, ça doit rester un club privé : pour ceux qui savent se tenir, qui savent claquer le pognon du contribuable sans faire de vagues.

Faut pas voir ces bouseux en Crocs, ces sauvages qui applaudissent comme des clowns quand l’avion se pose à Tokyo ou Mexico.

Et surtout, surtout, pas question de selfies moches devant la Mona Lisa, ça dégrade l’art, ça fout la honte au Louvre.

Bref, la haute société du politiquement correct veut garder le tourisme pour ses copains bien nés, pendant que les autres, ben… qu’ils regardent leurs diapos et qu’ils restent bien sages.

He complimented Liberian President Joseph Boakai on his "excellent English"... without seeming to realize that English has been the official language of Liberia since its founding in 1847! It’s like me congratulating a goldfish for knowing how to swim.

Ich habe damals in UK studiert und schon die unmittelbare Berichterstattung über das 1998 Paper mitbekommen. In Wissenschaftskreisen war das vom Start weg eine Lachnummer und hat praktisch vom nächsten Tag an als Paradebeispiel für statistische Denkfehler gedient. Noch vor 2000 gab es dann schon eine ‘offizielle' Review von Dutzenden von Experten, die eine komplette Abwesenheit irgendeiner Evidenz für die Sache festgehalten hat. Also dass das Wakefield Paper keinerlei wissenschaftliche Qualität hat, war schon klar, lange, lange bevor dann rauskam, dass es sogar ein Fake war.
