Haidar Eid’s "Banging on the Walls of the Tank" reveals a disturbing but irrefutable reality: the world has abandoned the Palestinian people to be annihilated as a people in the most calculated and brutal fashion possible.

Chicago Anarcho-Feminists (1971): "The intelligence of womankind has at last been brought to bear on such oppressive male inventions as the church and the legal family; it must now be brought to reevaluate the ultimate stronghold of male domination, the State. . .
We believe that a Woman’s Revolutionary Movement must not mimic, but destroy, all vestiges of the male-dominated power structure, the State itself—with its whole ancient and dismal apparatus of jails, armies, and armed robbery (taxation); "with all its murder; with all of its grotesque and repressive legislation and military attempts, internal and external, to interfere with people’s private lives and freely-chosen cooperative ventures."

Ughh, I somehow bit/injured the rear underside of my tongue, and my TMJ is flaring up. If I place my fingers on the joint it feels like I'm cracking walnuts. I have no idea how I did this to my tongue, probably did it while I was sleeping.

Sur le fond (enfin ce qu’on peut en comprendre en lisant ce charabia) je suis tout à fait d’accord. Mais je suis effrayé à l’idée que ce garçon sorte de l’école normale supérieure et soit bardé de diplômes. Nombre de ses phrase sont fautives, incompréhensibles. Il ne maîtrise pas le vocabulaire, la syntaxe, c’est catastrophique et effrayant de penser que ce qu’il y a peut-être de meilleur chez nous ne domine plus sa langue. Et ce n’est pas une remarque anodine et sans importance, c’est un signe très inquiétant dont Juan Branco n’est pas responsable, mais qui marque un tournant, une perte peut-être irrémédiable, qui touche même pour les meilleurs. Son style est ampoulé, et la langue n’est pas dominée, et cela nuit à son discours.

Ultimately what worries me the most is that the majority of bitcoiners haven't been truly tested. How you behaved during COVID is a fairly good indicator as to how far you are willing to go. In the war that comes, and it is ahead of us, you will be cut off completely and our own systems will have to stand alone. We will have to build the circular economy and the threat of violence will be thick in the air. The uncertainty will return and sadly a hard fork will also attempt to tear us apart. There is a journey ahead of us to be sure.
A Mexican-American friend who lives here on a Green Card and is the mother of five US citizens, including a US Army Vet and an LAPD officer, just collapsed into my arms crying, saying that she no longer drives on the freeway because she's afraid of being stopped by ICE and kidnapped.
IMPORTANT: Study finds electrifying SUVs/pick-ups could actually INCREASE emissions by using up scarce battery material that could otherwise be used to electrify a lot MORE smaller cars (and e-bikes). Via Science Direct
@Brent Toderian Not only that but when you actually put a load on said vehicles their range reduces to the point of being useless. All in all with lithium technology, electrification of transportation is untenable.
Now to go take my wife out to a nice dinner, to soften the blow of what I'm about to spend on that fancy pants new C64.

this whole conflict wherein multinational corporations demand unpaid labor from hobbyists is only happening because the free software movement has built stuff that capital is not capable of building for itself
Indie devs: any of y'all ever gone with a publisher, and did you feel you came away from it doing ok?
idk, the idea of compounding Steam's already ridiculous 30% cut with a publisher cut on top of that feels like a recipe for getting bilked. But I'd be happy to be wrong.
The consensus seems to be that I'd probably be better served by hiring a PR firm than trying to go with a publisher. So I guess I'm doing some research this week, to see if I can find something that looks good, and that I can afford (which ain't much).
there are at least a few stories where it came to disputs related to publishing versions early on platforms agaist the will of the developer. Also they might stop early with any marketing if their numbers are not promising enough, and then its hard to get back out of the contract.
I've heard that a publisher usually isn't worth it unless the publisher has an active fanbase for a particular style of game that your game fits.
it's also possible to hire PR people, and then that way you're able to get more PR while still retaining full control and rights etc over your game, I can't say whether it's worthwhile or anything though because I've never been able to afford that.
i think we should just phase out all forms of welfare but still maintain some kind of homeless shelters where people can get help, sleep in a bed and get clean from drugs, and eat a nutritious meal
the public school system is mixed bag. some kids have really poor quality of life at home and so you can make a case for a public school system. there are good arguments for and against it
same with public hospitals. the government should operate networks of free clinics where people can get basic medical care like STD testing, antibiotics, wound care and so forth. it's important to control the spread of infectious disease, if nothing else, and prevent complications and reduce the burden on the private medical system
i can't fully get behind the total libertarian model where it's just every man for himself, because i have compassion for disadvantaged people. but we have to acknowledge that often people are poor because they make poor choices. simply giving them cash to spend and paying for all their needs is insane and unsustainable
@nerthos so if some poor person who is behind on their taxes brings a kid in to the public ER with a broken bone, what are you going to do? turn them away?
Yes. It sounds awful but it's often necessary. If you just take everyone in it'll be massively overused by people who don't contribute and the people who do contribute will still pay off their ass for private because public is overcrowded and run down. This is what happened in Argentina, and we're now fixing by simply turning people who abused the system away.
At least at the start, if it stabilizes to the point resources and manpower are abundant for it without being a HUGE money drain, you can extend it. This is mostly a cultural thing though.
You can also just have a "this is the amount it costs, no charges past the real cost of the procedure" credit system like with foreigners, which would also solve this situation. If you're not qualified for the "free" treatment you can pay for it and use it.
@nerthos you didn't answer my question. i'm not talking about "people who abuse the system" i'm talking about a kid with a broken bone. an emergency. you're going to send a kid with a compound fracture away from your public clinic because his parents are behind on their taxes? that is barbaric and uncivilized.
TBH the conditions for qualifying for access can be defined along with the program.
I don't think it's reasonable to deny someone who's behind because of a bad year. I do think it's reasonable to deny someone who has never made any significant contribution their whole life.
@nerthos you can draw these lines in different ways and debate what sort of basic level of care should be available and to who, but anyway my original point was just that there are benefits to society to provide some basline level of care, like infection control and trauma care. just basic compassion that doesn't have to cost a lot of money but improves society overall.
whether an alcoholic bum on the street deserves a liver transplant, whether someone who is 90 years old should have a million dollars worth of heroic cancer treatment, whether a morbidly obese person should have a heart transplant, free diabetes treatment etc, those are debates i'm willing to have
I like this in theory. In practice, the private sector won't always pick up the slack (as I believe it should in these scenarios), or might have trouble reaching the people they'd like to help.
I hated school, my maths teacher told me I was a retard. 12 years later I'm pricing synthetic derivatives for JP Morgan. I pay for my kids education now.
But the cost of private education has nearly doubled in the UK over the last few years. I give it 2 to 3 years before AI schools are springing up offering dedicated 1 to 1 tuition.
@realcaseyrollins @diego i mean that with the information available online and now with AI language models it seems that we could rethink how people learn. more applicable to some professions than others

'We're Not the Same People Anymore': IDF Soldiers Reveal What No Israeli Wants to Hear About Months of Fighting in Gaza
Sent into #Gaza straight from high school, five young #Israel conscripts describe the brutal, exhausting reality of the war with #Hamas – a world of despair, rage and crippling fear, with no end in sight
"Soldiers interviewed are handpicked by commanders and #IDF spokespersons and thoroughly briefed on what they can and cannot say. And so, reporters return with the same clichés: "This is a generation of lions," they declare. "Morale is sky-high."
But active-duty army soldiers who spoke to Haaretz in recent months paint a very different picture...
They describe mounting exhaustion, severe physical and psychological strain, and a constant fear that they'll be the next to have their names released as fallen."

HÜZÜNLÜ BİR AŞK HİKAYESİ ; GAM ZEDEYİM DEVA BULMAM... Tüm şarkıların bir hikayesi vardır... "Gamzede’yim Deva Bulmam." Şarkısı da bu tür şarkılardan biridir... Hemen belirtelim, Gam-zede, üzüntü sebebiyle kötü duruma düşmüş anlamındadır. Hikayenin kahramanı Kemani Tatyos Efendi’nin kendi cemaatinden çocukluk aşkı bir sevdiği varmış. Aile o tarihlerde Erivan’a göç ettiğinden evlenememişler. Aradan uzun seneler geçmiş Tatyos efendi evlenmiş çocukları olmuş ancak kadın hiç evlenmemiş ve bir gün İstanbul’a dönmüş. Bunu öğrenen Tatyos Efendi sözlerini de yazarak bir eser bestelemiş... Kısa zaman sonra Beyoğlu’nda bir meyhanede gece nihayete ererken birkaç müşteri ve sandalyeleri toplayıp yerleri süpüren birkaç çocuktan başka kimse kalmamışken birlikte oturdukları Vasili ve Ahmet Rasim Bey de tam gitmeye hazırlanırken Tatyos Efendi kemana uzanmış sanki saatlerdir içen ve çalan o değilmiş gibi kemanı omuzuna yerleştirip, hafifçe başını kemana eğerek, dudaklarında acı bir tebessümle o ana kadar duyulmamış o uşşak şarkıyı ilk defa söylemiş...
Gamzede’yim deva bulmam, Garibim bir yuva kurmam, Kaderimdir hep çektiren, İnlerim hiç reha bulmam. Elem beni terketmiyor, Hiç de fasıla vermiyor, Nihayetsiz bu takibe, Doğrusu ta'kât yetmiyor. Ehl-i dilin yoktur kadri, Uğraşma gel Tatyos gayri, Eserin çok kıymetin yok, Git talihine küs bari...
Tatyos kemanı omuzundan indirdiğinde hiç kimsenin tek bir kelime edecek hali yoktur... Vasili hıçkıra hıçkıra ağlıyor meyhane de kalanlar da göz yaşlarını birbirlerine sezdirmeden silmeye çalışıyorlar... Birkaç hafta içinde İstanbul’da bu şarkıyı ezberlemeyen ne hânende ne sâzende kalıyor... Şarkıyı besteledikten bir ay sonra Tatyos Efendi vefat ediyor naaşı kilisede iken otuz yıl önceki çocukluk aşkı olan kadın Ahmet Rasim’in yanına üzerinde "Tatyos ile birlikte defnedilecektir..." yazılı bir zarf bırakıyor... Yarım saat sonra Tatyos’un naaşı ile birlikte toprağa verilecek zarfın içinde şu dizeler yazılıdır;*
*Gamzede'sin devân benim Garip kuşsun yuvan benim Çektiğimiz yeter gayri Kaderimsin inan benim. Ta'kât yetişmez eleme, Bülbül imrenir çileme. Bizim şu kara sevdamız, Kalsın öteki aleme. (...) ALINTI
"Not then, not now, never again fascism Never forget Srebrenica genocide"
Mural in Amsterdam of Potočari cemetery featuring the names of different Bosnian towns and cities with the corresponding estimated amount of victims.
Almost 30 years has passed since Europe was shaken by the genocide of more than 8000 muslim boys and men in the Bosnian city of Srebrenica, at the hands of Bosnian Serb troops during an operation of ethnic cleansing, witnessed by UN peacekeeping troops who failed resoundingly in their protection mission.
In the midst of the conflict in the Balkans during the 1990’s, the small city of Srebrenica, in Eastern Bosnia, was established as a “safe area” by the UN for civilians fleeing fights between Bosnian government and separatist Serb forces, during the breakup of Yugoslavia.
On 11 July 1995, Serb forces attacked Srebrenica lead by Bosnian Serb General Ratko Mladić, conducting a ten-day operation to take over Srebrenica and subject it to ethnic cleansing. More than 8000 people were killed, mainly Bosnian muslim boys and men.
Turbo Macro Pro is a native assembler for the Commodore 64, which provides syntax highlighting and an advanced macro and include system, to make it easier to make complex programs sensibly. It even has the ability to embed external binary code (such as sprite data) in your executable.
Programming in assembly for a C64 is excellent training for embedded coding. You're right close to the metal, you have to know the system inside and out -- and you're learning in an environment that encourages making fun things.
making a video game for the Colecovision in Z80 assembly language was the best lesson in I had in embedded programming...better than any formal course on the subject.
Its BIOS, called OS7, was pretty decent too so you could leverage it to do some of the minutiae and concentrate on the fun stuff. I suspect the same is true about the routines in the C64 KERNEL and BASIC ROMs.

Trump’s 50% copper import tariff said to cover refined metal. This is important because copper is in practically everything, and it's a bellwether commodity for recession as well.
More #Israeli #gaslighting and #propaganda. It has never been anti-semitic to criticize or "demonize" #Israel and anyone that tells you so is full of shit. Israel claiming something is "anti-semitic" when it clearly isn't is simply their way of manipulating opinions so they can't be held accountable for their actions. Well, enough is enough. ---
it's incredible how the e-rightoids think they only have two options every single fucking time MUH TRANNIES try to appropriate anything: a) immediately give up the thing they loved up until 5 mins ago (and even go "well ackshully in retrospect that thing i loved was always tranny-coded so good riddance") b) bitch about it in their social media circles without ever actually doing anything (this eventually leads to option a every single time without failure) but option c (actively fighting against it/ignoring it altogether) is never ever on the table
learned helplessness is both terrifying and disgusting
@kvit gaylo decided to fight against option c and just ban anyone who even dares to talk about uma global because MUH TRANNIES MUH TOURISTS ETC ETC but some people (said e-rightoids) think he was completely justified in nuking half of varis' (the instance) regulars because like 10 trannies did the usual "omg this anime's girls are all trannies!!!" thing on twitter in other words, yet another perpetually ceding everything to the trannies with no resistance award 🏅
@kvit i mean he was correct in every person on varis being tourist if they suddenly had interest in uma after the global release despite having two years of constant uma propoganda
If I could have just downloaded an apk and let it rip I would have played JP. Not wanting to jump through an insane amount of hoops to play a game in a language I can't read fluently where the story is incredibly important to the enjoyment of said game doesn't make me a tourist. He can go fuck himself.
And it's not just a translation problem. That's the easiest part. The nightmare is fooling the game into thinking you're in Japan because of their stupid region lock.
@Goalkeeper @theorytoe @kvit no you just don't get it dude, you're a tourist!!!! you had horse girl propaganda shoved down your throat 24/7 and you still didn't jump through all the hoops? but you installed it NOW??!?!?! T O U R I S T!!!!!
still remember the gundam online multiplayer with 100 man servers that checked IP and system locale to try and weed out foreigners. and even if you got in each lobby seemingly had admins dedicated to sniffing out and banning the gaijin trespassing in their sacred mecha game
