A sprawling FBI investigation into possible criminal coverups during the COVID-19 pandemic is zeroing in on three separate plots involving the origins of the virus; the hiding and destruction of federal records; and the manipulation of the vaccine approval process and subsequent side effects.

"No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth!"

-- Ronald Reagan
(1911-2004) 40th US President

“Although we give lip service to the notion of freedom, we know that government is no longer the servant of the people but, at last, has become the people's master. We have stood by like timid sheep while the wolf killed -- first the weak, then the strays, then those on the outer edges of the flock, until at last the entire flock belonged to the wolf.”

#OpenSource #controversy #linux #FOSS #linuxdrama

Mozilla has undeniably been an important influence on FOSS software. One thing that is often leveled against Mozilla is that they allegedly argued for internet censorship. In an infamous post, they said we needed more than de-platforming, as a bunch of people were kicked off popular social media sites for saying things that went against the terms of service.

Mozilla also has some other sticking points, notably their over reliance on Google's funding, and the fact that their executives are paid quite a lot of money for a non profit that is bleeding users and market share, at least in the browser space.

Another project that you're probably already aware of, is Snap, Ubuntu's solution for containerized apps. The main criticism levelled against snaps is its proprietary, centralized store.

Appimages are a relatively popular app distribution format, but all AppImages do rely on libfuse 2, which is deprecated and obsolete, and has been for a long while: its last version was in 2019, meaning it's been left for 5 years without any security update at all.

Other potential concerns about the AppImage projects are the fact that they're not sandboxed at all by default. There have also been some pretty harsh comments from one of AppImage's lead against apps that refuse to invest time to support the AppImage format.

Another project that has seen a fair few criticisms over the years is Manjaro. They've been known to package unstable versions of applications that weren't published as stable. Manjaro also has a pretty bad track record with security, failing to renew their certificates time and again.

Add to that the fact they partnered with a proprietary office suite and shipped it as the default, or the company behind Manjaro dropping their CFO when he refused to approve an expense for a new laptop, or their tool, Pamac, DDoSing the AUR by making too many requests, and you have a few issues that definitely tarnished the distro's reputation.

Another problematic issue we see more and more often is open source projects switching licenses to restrict what people can do, and open source projects being taken over entirely by certain companies.

A recent example is Red Hat, tacking on some license agreement to get access to the source code of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, meaning that if you redistribute the source code you get access to as a customer, you won't be able to be a Red hat customer anymore.

Another example is Canonical, taking ownership of the LXD project, a project they had started, then gave to the Linux Containers Project, and then grabbed back again. They also removed maintainers that didn't work for Canonical but had been contributing to the project for a while.

Yet another example is Redis, moving to a source available license to try and stop giant cloud providers like AWS from making money off of Redis, but also limiting other user's rights in the process.

Finally, we have Hyprland.What some people have against Hyprland is mostly against the lead developer, not the project itself. He's been characterized as toxic, and the general community is often perceived as expressing hateful views in the form of what they call jokes. Stuff like endorsement of eugenics, calls for violence, or transphobia. The founder of Hyprland was recently banned from the Free Desktop.org community for this problematic behaviour, which went against the FDO's code of conduct. Hyprland's founder then basically doxxed the FDO member who banned him.

After seeing the latest oh so stupid propaganda bit by the BBC regarding North Korea had to revisit this great article from Red Sails.

And it remains true that the people who will read the article are likely not going to be those who benefit from the status quo and who would most need to read it. Which is most people in the West.

But sharing it anyway, because I agree that it is complicity, not brainwashing. Example: Silence on Gaza, outrage on China.

i do get some sick satisfaction from seeing video of fat immigrants getting arrested.

one thing i noticed about grocery stores- it's full of white people on sunday, because they have jobs. during the week, it's full of immigrants who don't have jobs and they're spending their free SNAP benefits.

every last one needs to get the hell out. i don't care how much they fake cry about it on video. good bye.

A study from 2018 reported the detection of fluorescent nanoparticles in Coke and Pepsi beverages.

This information is listed on the official National Institutes of Health (NIH) government website.

Not to mention, last year Microsoft signed a $1.1 billion, five-year deal with Coca-Cola to do God knows what...

You can't even make this up anymore.

They always have to tell you in plain sight.

It's part of their rulebook.

"Foodborne nanoparticles (NPs) have drawn great attention due to human health concerns. This study reports the detection of the presence of fluorescent NPs, about 5 nm, in two of the most popular beverages, Coca-Cola (Coke) and Pepsi-Cola (Pepsi). The NPs contain H, C and O, three elements with a tunable emission and with a quantum yield of 3.3 and 4.3% for Coke and Pepsi, respectively. The presence of sp3-hybridized carbon atoms of alcohols and ethers bonds was confirmed by NMR analysis. The NPs can be taken up by living cells and accumulate within cell membrane and cytoplasm. Evaluation of the acute toxicity of the NPs revealed that the BALB/c mice appeared healthy after administration of a single dose of 2 g kg-1 body weight. Analysis of glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT), urea and creatinine showed that there were statistically, but not biologically, significant differences in some of these biochemical parameters between the test and control groups. No obvious organ damage or apparent histopathological abnormality was observed in the tested mice. The biodistribution study in major organs indicated that the NPs were easily accumulated in the digestive tract, and they were able to cross the blood-brain barrier and dispersed in the brain. In vitro digestion of the NPs showed a sichgnificant fluorescence quenching of the NPs. This work represents the first report of foodborne fluorescent NPs present in Coke and Pepsi, and provides valuable insights into physicochemical properties of these NPs and their toxicity characteristics both in vitro and in vivo.”

L'Europe sociale n'aura pas lieu - F. Denord, A. Schwartz - podcast et résumé du livre - Élucid


#politique #démocratie #UE

Dans L’Europe sociale n’aura pas lieu (2009), François Denord et Antoine Schwartz montrent que, dès l’origine, les fondations néolibérales de l’Union européenne l’ont mené vers une pente qui, depuis, s’est raidie lentement, mais sûrement. Or, « dans les eaux glacées du grand marché, [les] chances de survie [d’une Europe sociale] sont minces », voire inexistantes.

No offense but #Israel has been burning #Palestinians alive for 17 years now and routinely uses #WhitePhosphorus against Palestinians in #Gaza back in 2008, even going so far as to bomb #hospitals and #DayCare and #schools burining dozens of Palestinian #children alive.

And the kicker? These #illegal white phosphorus shells were supplied BY THE US.

So spare me #ABCNews. You #Zionazi fucks.
