Take heart friends:

The reason they rush to fly the immigrants off to other countries is because their cases are flawed and weak, and they can't withstand the rule of law.

The reason they make dictates by executive order is because they can't lead lawmaking, even this spineless Congress.

The reason they ban journalists and research science is that because their ideas are too weak to survive the marketplace of ideas.

YouTube: Can you fly after May 7? (ReasonTV)

Starting May 7, if you want to board federally regulated planes, access certain facilities, or enter nuclear plants, you must have a REAL ID or your passport. But if terrorism is such a threat, why would the government take 20 years to roll this out?

Luke 6:33-35 📖

If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you?

Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much.

But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High;

for he is kind toward the unthankful and evil.

Federated Services

Federated Services are services which many instances form a network to provide a greater whole than the sum of their parts, each participant in the Fediverse is an “instance”. A message or other item made available on one instance is visible and available on other instances.

We make these services available to all people who do not abuse it in order to promote the values of Free Speech, and those of the United States Constitution First Amendment. A free republic is not possible without free speech and commercial mainstream media do not provide it. We also get some advertisement benefit from hosting these, it is our hope that people who see how fast and responsible our services are will decide to do hosting or use other paid services here.

There are numerous federated services available, we offer Macrobloging platform Friendica, Hubzilla; Microbloging services Mastodon, Misskey, a federated search engine, Yacy, and a federated cloud service, Nextcloud.

Macrobloging services are message systems that allow long form posts similar in format to Facebook. These allow for works of fiction, poetry, technical papers, news items, short stories, and more. These formats are most useful for discussion of social issues.

Microbloging services allow only short form posts similar in format to Twitter. While you can link to larger articles elsewhere, you have a relatively short character limit and so can not post them directly.

Censorship, is handled much different on the fediverse than on mainstream media like Twitter or Facebook. On the fediverse, each individual instance is responsible for content available on that instance, but does not censor the rest of the network. Thus if you find the rules of one instance too constraining you can move to another.

Federated search engines are analogous to federated message systems in that each instance chooses what portion of the internet it wants to crawl. When you enter a search term, the local instance queries all of the federated instances, collates and sorts the results and presents them to you. As with messages, each instance can have it’s own censorship policies but no one instance can censor the entire network.

Given the wild-west nature of the fediverse, it is probably not suitable for children under 14, and you’re guaranteed to find some material that will offend virtually everyone. With federated search engines, material that is inappropriate will usually be flagged sensitive or nsfw (not safe for work) so as long as you don’t expand material marked as such, you can avoid this sort of material. There are occasionally people who violate these rules, we do our best to remove such individuals none the less some will get through.

We offer the following federated services:

Friendica.Eskimo.Com
Friendica is a decentralized long format macrobloging message network. It is similar in format to facebook however there is no centralized censorship. Also, it is able to federate with all other federated message systems which use ActivityPub protocol and also we have extensions that allow it to speak to several other networks via other protocols.

Hubzilla.Eskimo.Com
Hubzilla is similar in message format to Friendica in that it allows long posts. However, it specializes in it’s ability to provide connectivity to multiple protocols and so we include it in our mix of federated services primarily for the better connectivity it offers. Hubzilla provides a great deal of interoperability between many networks though ActivityPub is still it’s primary protocol. Hubzilla gives you a greater degree of control over privacy than some of the other networks. You can create private channels that are served between hubzilla instances and other compatible instances.

Mastodon.Eskimo.Com
Mastodon is first and foremost an alternative to Twitter. While Twitter has Tweets, Mastodon has Toots. The format is very similar. Mastodon toots have a limit of 500 characters. Similar to the short limit of Twitter. This is why this platform is referred to as a Microbloging format. Mastodon interacts with other ActivityPub instances however when a long form blog post from another instance arrives, you are only shown a short portion with a link to follow to see the full post on the originating site.

NextCloud.Eskimo.Com
If you are a customer of Eskimo North, your login credentials will work without a domain extension to access Nextcloud. If you are not a customer you can apply for a Nextcloud account using your choice of login and password, in this case the login should include your originating network. Some features require an Eskimo North shell account to take full advantage of.

PixelfedtCloud.Eskimo.Com
Pixelfed is a federated pixel gallery. A place where you can share your photos to the widest audience possible, and you can view what others have shared. Instance is new as of April 6th, 2025.


Yacy.Eskimo.Com
Yacy is a federated search engine. There are several thousand instances on the Internet. Each instances crawls whatever portion of the web the administrator requested. It is also possible for the administrator of a site with relatively few resources to request a larger site to do crawls on their behalf. Unfortunately, it does not provide a method for an end user to initiate a crawl, but if you send e-mail to support@eskimo.com and request a crawl, we will initiate a crawl on your behalf.

Holargos, Greece: Arson of State Vehicles


At dawn on March 28, we placed six incendiary devices inside the EYDAP construction site in the area of Holargos, which engulfed the state vehicles in flames. We are actively questioning the power of the state and the structure of its sovereignty, trying to weaken it, by hitting. We remind you that the resistance action against the state and capital does not have one front, but many. In order to achieve our advanced achievements, it is necessary to overcome the limits of bourgeois legality. From the multi-day demonstrations, to the extensive clashes with stones and Molotov cocktails in the central Syntagma Square, to the arson of state machinery, we are promoting the revolution everywhere and always.

Vaughn P. Drake, the Oldest Known Pearl Harbor Survivor, Dies at 106

twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2025/04…

milwardfuneral.com/obituaries/…

Then there were fourteen.

Vaughn P. Drake, Jr. was 23 years old and an Army engineer when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. He died on April 7, 2025 at the age of 106. He was the oldest known Pearl Harbor survivor.

you guys ever catch wind of this delusional idea Trump has to convince Putin and Xi to massively cut their military budgets and dismantle nuclear arsenals so the money can be spent on better things for the country (hahahahahahha)

===

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Thursday that he wants to restart nuclear arms control talks with Russia and China and that eventually he hopes all three countries could agree to cut their massive defense budgets in half.

“We’re all spending a lot of money that we could be spending on other things that are actually, hopefully much more productive,” Trump said.

Électricité - La nouvelle régulation fera flamber la facture des consommateurs - Action UFC-Que Choisir - UFC-Que Choisir


#politique #énergie #UE

Tout pour sauver le système dément de lUE ! Mort à l'UE ! Détruisons cette merde !

Notre étude montre que si cette réforme avait été appliquée dès 2025, le coût d’approvisionnement servant à fixer les tarifs réglementés aurait grimpé à 117,29 €/MWh, soit une hausse vertigineuse de 44 % par rapport au niveau actuel (81,37 €/MWh). Pourquoi ? Parce que cette réforme impose un nouveau mode de calcul des tarifs, basé sur les prix élevés et instables des marchés de gros, au lieu du coût réel de production de l’électricité en France.

Cette explosion des tarifs de l’électricité résulte donc d’un choix politique assumé : faire payer aux Français leur électricité au prix fort, comme s’il fallait intégralement l’acheter sur les marchés internationaux, alors même qu’elle est produite en France à des coûts bien plus bas.

Pres. Ramaphosa is sending a special envoy to mend relations with America. The envoy is on record of calling Pres. Trump a racist, homophobic homophobe, narcissistic right-winger in 2020 and wondered how he was ever elected.

The ANC has for the first time polled as the 2nd most popular party after a series of own goals this year.

OK! I was finally able to ask Yanis Varoufakis if he knows copyleft and the free software movement are behind him and if he'll work more with the EFF to push for public ownership of "the cloud".

I really want him to see and use the power of copyleft in his strategies with DiEM25 and the Progressive International. Neither group is much in the #Fediverse yet, I've noticed. But the political infrastructure exists!

I won a little victory over Big Corporate!

So I ordered some Puma shoes online a few weeks ago - big mistake. First and last time for me. The package never arrived, so I asked Puma's "support" what's up, and after a back-and-forth with 5 different people and/or AI chatbots, I ended up receiving 2 PDFs that I had to fill in and send back.

But the PDFs were full of dumb questions, like my name/address, the order #, track & trace number, etc, STUFF THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE BECAUSE THEY SENT ME THE PACKAGE!! #%$@!

And I have no idea how to edit PDFs; guess I'd have to install some PDF editor and blah blah.. ain't nobody got time for that.

So I mailed something back like, "I don't have energy for this. You already have all this info." and I got a reply that they really needed this, else they couldn't start the money-back procedure and blah blah

BUT then I went searching for legal info on this kind of thing, and discovered that the webshop is 100% responsible for this problem; that if the package doesn't arrive, I can have my money back without all this trouble.

So I mailed back a few URLs with quotes from legal sites, and that I want to cancel the deal (in Dutch "Ik ontbind hierbij de koop" were the magic words).

Honestly I had already accepted that I would never get my money back, and I'd just leave an angry comment on Trustpilot or smth to cope.

But guess what? After a week of silence, I got a reply that my money is returned. Without having to go to the trouble of filling in their dumbass PDFs.

I feel empowered! :party_kirby:

Hey, Google! Fuck you! I'm not using your fucking Gemini garbage replacement for Assistant. I will just stop using those functions before using your shitty AI. That's not hyperbole. I'm already doing it. I'm using the manual timer on the microwave instead just asking my phone to set a timer. I stopped asking it to call numbers for me and I'm typing them in like it 2002 because I can't have nice things. Fuck you and your fucking shit.
Same to you, Microsoft. Shove it under your fingernails if you like it so much.
I'm writing shit as fucking Markdown in VSCode or Obsidian to avoid your AI shit.
My new laptop came with an AI button that replaced my right-CTRL button. Fuck you for that.
I DO NOT WANT IT.

BTW...

A tariff rate is not what some think it is...

The rate is on the whole sale cost. For Nike, who pays less than $10 for a pair of Air Jordans to be manufactured and shipped to America, they pay 25%... that's less than $2.50 per pair.

They will still make a massive profit since they sell them "retail" for much more than cost.

Its funny to see so many leftist defenders if corporate profit margins... Just because #OrangeManBad
